its great and all but I've searched the intro, read the text below the video and watched the first 3 minutes and I still have no idea where this is...... its a castle called Malbork, built by an order of knights..... but where exactly??? important info I would think...ah ten minutes in I find out its Poland. Perhaps mention it earlier... just a thought.

@@suzannehawkins383 Was going to comment the same, -I had to search it. Seems like a big detail to leave out, and not having that detail makes it mentally difficult to correlate it's history in this (mostly very excellent) narrative alongside with the political and economic setting which it has inhabited.

roman was more of hypocaust style; relying on smoke and heat to heat the building. the only difference between the two, this one heated the stone (as in baking the stone). romans did not do that method. and this show is took half of the video time on useless "grandmaster, monks and piety" history than focusing on the building history construction. this video did fail on how the technology (history) was developed or acquired. just said how it works nothing more. wasted 7 minutes of talking for nothing. I do not think grandmaster(s) "developed or discovered stone-baking-heating" this technique has to come from somewhere else... thus my accusing this video is missing the building history.

I moved to Rochester as a teen in 1980. By that time, what was left of the tunnels was pretty much sealed off, although a friend of one of my cousins claimed to have ridden a motorcycle through them a few years earlier. It was still possible to get in there on foot, but then as now, that was illegal and not recommended for safety reasons. I didn't know where those dubious access points were, so I never checked them out personally. Interstate 490 was built mostly on the old Erie Canal, parts of which, as you said in the video, had been repurposed prior to I490 for the subway. But the video seemed to imply that I490 was gone or going away, and that's not the case. Other than a few minor reroutings, such as straightening out what used to be known as the Can of Worms, a messy, dangerous interchange between Interstates 490 and 590, I490 is still the major traffic artery through the City of Rochester, and it's not going anywhere. I haven't lived in Rochester for decades now, so some of the updates, such as the plan to re-flood the tunnels (and then do what with them, exactly?) were interesting to me.

I wouldn't have known there was a window behind tthat huge painting where the grand master was if I visited with out a guided tour, and then again, would it have gone into the detail the expert (sorry can not remember his name) gave. Truly a remarkable episode. If possible keep doing the "on location" episodes with a local expert. WOW Ryan... GREAT episode!

I lived in a stone house, that had aluminum siding on it. The stones in the home would be slow to change temp. In other words, I would not need AC until the end of the summer. But when I needed it, no amount of AC could cool the house. And the same applies to heat. I would not even go upstairs for the most part (so, I only lived in half the house), because if there was high winds, you'd feel it more upstairs, and it would be cold up there, and the heat would not even kick on downstairs. Also weird, is you learned a few tricks. Like opening the basement windows during most of the summer.

Natural convection would likely keep the upper rooms very comfortable without any additional heat sources. Would also be good to mention how fresh air is heated by flowing through the hot stones, -which allows it to be completely separated from the the smoke of the combustion oven (which has its own chimney).
