I want to really say thanks to the people that took their time built the Suez canal I wish I can see it in person

You can. Travel.

Makes the pyramids look like a building project for 3 year olds. People who are skeptical about humans not been able to build something as simple as the pyramids should watch this.

[@brothergigawatt2116]

The same race of people that built that church, built the pyramids, yours wasnt there in the 1200s, and yall tried to build a pyramid in las vegas, didnt work out so hot

[@sagebiddi]

I agree that people should not be so quick to say stuff like that especially since we weren't there and have no idea what they really knew and what skills they really possessed. That being said it's the same sentiment when someone says the pyramids are 'simple' as they are no where near simple in this age of precision tooling and GPS assisted survayance so couple this with what we know they DIDNT have as aid it pushes the idea of there construction and original facades and surrounding grounds being monumental and rightfully holding its place as not just "a" but THEE paramount world wonder

It looks a bit strange, why didn't the build the spire on the center piece.

[@edwardjackson1418]

I heard some cathedral they put a mountain of dirt in place, and, the stone work covering the dirt, and finally, excavated the dirt leaving the stone, the rock remained, thus the walls of the cathedral remained. This was very Labour intensive! Some of these types of buildings took up to two a hundred years to Build!

It became an incontrovertible fact that here in the 21st Century, Europe has been conquered by enemy forces, when on April 15, 2019, I watched the Notre-Dame Cathedral's spire and roof burn at the hand of an Islamic "refugee" (it was actually caught on video) and France simply shrugged, said it was "a construction accident", and carried-on like nothing happened.

It's the hardest program to follow because the subtitles give you barely half the time needed to actually read them properly, I don't speak french so this is a disappointment 😞

[@cm182cm]

KZbin has a pause button. You can pause videos.

[@jaxsdad3x]

Next time you feel disappointment at OTHERS for a failure of yours, maybe your first thought shouldn't be: how awful of them to do that! Maybe you should look at YOURSELF and see what your failure is. I had no trouble reading every single word. But then again I actually read books instead of having some type screen blaring in my face all day

I am not so sure the expansion of the canal was such bright idea. It does not make economic sense esp given the investment a resource poor country like Egypt. It is moreof a vanity project

[@mariatorres5563]

Dont they get paid for every ship + tonnes that take the canal?? So a doble canal water way is more ship/tonnes more money... I really dont know how that Works so if anyone knows & can explain to me that would be awesome...Thank you all & Blessings to you all from puerto rico with lots of love

[@mvs9122]

@@mariatorres5563 there are a limited number of ships that need to go through every day. The new passage way doesn't increase the number of ships transiting the canal significantly enough to compensate for the the cost. The amount of transit is related to the global economy.

[@michaelcomisse9478]

@@mariatorres5563 yes i believe its in the hundreds of thousands of dollars per ship. i could be wrong but they absolutely helped their economy by expanding it. why would they do it if it wasnt going to make money?

[@Duffyyy94]

It is absolutely not a vanity project lol

[@mvs9122]

@@michaelcomisse9478 there is a large disconnect between the govt and the people. Sisi has no legitimacy but has been brutal and also has a pharos complex. He is supported by UAE, Saudi Arabia, Israel and US. They are also building an ultra modern new capital for no reason other than vanity. The reason middle east is so f-ed up is because the govt do not depend on the people for revenue through taxation so they don't give damn what the majority thinks.

[@davidgage8303]

If ships stop using the canal will the canal close back up

We as humans can do anything.. pyramids , mahan

[@nononsense5182]

Wait🤨 they needed an extremely huge workforce but MADE them help? So just take care of the business at hand but safety was secondary to the project My question is, didn't they get paid, was there compensation for the injuries and deaths All the attention going on equipment/ transportation but nothing planned for food & water🥴??????

While watching the details of the building of the Suez Canal, I'm reminded of how to this day, we hear endless inappropriate blaming, shaming and guilting of the White man for slavery he did not create, but you are NEVER told that if not for the White man's ingenuity and invention of incredibly complex machinery for the specific purpose of replacing manual labor, thereby *_ending_* the forced deployment of thousands of slave labor by their own nations. The nations who forced the slavery of their own people did not do this, the European White man nations did this. Just thought I'd mention this very important part of history that is conveniently overlooked and purposefully forgotten. 👍

You really need to do voice over instead of subtitles. It becomes frustrating to rewind and pause the video so I can read the subtitles. When this happens often enough, I just stop watching the video. I have talked with others that do the same.
