The Eiffel Tower was built by Eiffel but not designed -this honor goes to Maurice Koechlin and Emile Nouguier - and he isn’t the architect either, this was Stephen Sauvestre… Eiffel had the idea to use the tower for the first military radio-telephone system. TV came in 1943 with the Germans to the tower. From the beginning of service the elevators have gone up to the second floor.

[@rhinomite5203]

Awesome explanations and views of the structures. Been to most of the structures including both Eifels, Space Needle, Stratosphere. Would love to see Japan and its newest.

[@Amdidry]

Eiffle also built the New York statue of liberty most of people don't know that

[@Mark-om3cl]

What’s with the 3 people occasionally stating the obvious. It’s Annoying.

[@artysanmobile]

Yeah, that’s the style of bad KZbin videos. I give them a few seconds.

[@andresharris8433]

What’s with people leaving pointless whining comments? It’s annoying.

[@TheAshrafcharles]

HADIR!

[@fldon2306]

Visited Skytree in 2019; main platform is the best views. The upper platform is so high, you can’t see people and buildings look small… Much higher than CN Tower in Toronto that I visited in the 1980’s..

15:06 Eiffel Tower construction was accurate to 1 tenth of a millimeter, i.e. 1 millimeter is .03937inches, 1 tenth equals .004 thousands of an inch. Approximately the diameter of a single human hair. Are you implying that they had 200 foot long tape measures that were accurate within .004 in.??????? Stop lying to us!

[@hannanhg]

You can’t compare Tokyo tree with Eiffel . Eiffel in zero in comparison to Tokyo tree .

[@Mark-om3cl]

This was pretty boring to be honest.

[@cestmoi1262]

@Mark Well in that case maybe we can look forward to one of your utterly fascinating contributions of world renown fame edifices.
