On a side note, cathedrals, as many buildings from the old world, are actually quite sturdy compared with modern buildings (which would all collapse in less than 100 years without proper human maintenance). Most of the time when a cathedral disappears in the video, only the spire collapsed, not the building itself. Probably why Strasbourg cathedral remained, since it doesn't have a spire and the height was the actual height of the towers.

Well, they only had bronze tools and its really difficult to cut granite with bronze. You would go through many blades in order to cut 1 block. On top of that, do this day, we have yet to find a big enough cutting tool. The largest bonze saw ever found was only a few feet long at best. You would have expected to find a billion of these if they were really used to make the pyramids. As for the chisel method for cutting. Even with today's machine position chiseling, still impossible to separate a block that smooth. Lastly, how would you move up these enormous blocks into a pyramid shape? If you were to build a ramp at a slight incline, the slope up the pyramid would dwarf the pyramid its self. Not even going to mention how far away these quarries were from the building site. 1 answer aliens :P Not that I believe in aliens, but our current understandings of the ancient civilizations are still quite limited.

People are all commending the Pyramids, and that’s all well and good, but I feel like the La Danta Temple needs some credit as well. It was a Native American structure that lasted at least 2000 years in the top five, that’s impressive
@octaviogutierrez91583 жыл бұрын
Yeah Mesoamerica is underrated, the temple of La Danta was the tallest structure in the Western Hemisphere for at least a thousand years by the Mayans of the Petén jungle who already had a definite writing and knew the number 0 centuries before the Middle East. They did not use the wheel, they did not know metals and they did not settle their cities in the rivers unlike the Egyptians. The Teotihuacans came to create the sixth largest city in the world at its peak with large palaces, a reflection of a sophisticated and commercially prominent society. and the pyramid of the sun was much taller than the constructions of the Roman empire. Not even in medieval Europe they could surpass those constructions in height and massive length.
@xenotypos2 жыл бұрын
@@octaviogutierrez9158 Afaik the Mayans didn't use the modern zero but a version of it. Several versions of zero existed in Old World too and the oldest versions in the world come from the middle-east. The Babylonians used it as a placeholder (without a symbol), but not as a value. If I remember well, the Egyptians did the opposite. The modern version is of course from India a very long time later. And regarding medieval Europe you're probably talking about the first half of the middle ages, because in the second half cathedrals were the tallest buildings in the world. Though I admit height isn't everything, and I think the Romans are hard to beat in terms of architecture (even if they sucked at some other things). For me, they win hands down in that department, even compared the late-middle ages Europe which was better in other departements. Roman palaces, cities, monuments etc.. were very complex and subtle, some were without equivalent anywhere like their massive domes (which was a major innovation). Even their roads were cracked (there is far more under the first layer than people imagine, that's why the road who were not intentionally destroyed still exist today). Well, just my opinion.

@@generalaccount6531 It's not quite the same thing though since the pyramids were not meant to be inhabitable, so the need for people to go up and down an increasingly longer staircase was not a consideration, this appears to be a significant constraint since both Ziggurats and mesoamerican pyramids (some of which are bigger by volume than the Khufu pyramid) topped out at roughly the same height and both share the characteristic of having temples and/or residences on top.

This doesn't seem to tell the whole story? For example Sneferu's bent pyramid at Dahshur was built around 2600 BC and is over 104 meters tall. Should make the top5 of its times as well as some other pyramids outside of Giza.
@nan02215 жыл бұрын
Exactly, this list is pretty inaccurate. I guess he excluded all Egyptian pyramids except "pyramids of Giza" (which clearly are also not just one pyramid), because otherwise they would have dominated the top 5 for too long, but it should have at least been mentioned. I mean During Snefuru's reign alone 3 giant pyramids were build, the smallest being the meidum pyramid of about 91 meters (edit:this was the historical size, I believe the current day size is a lot smaller), followed by the bent pyramid you mentioned and the largest being the first true pyramid ever build, the red pyramid, which is about 105 meters.

Awesome project... One thing I would like to point out is that between the XI and the the XIII century (so before the great gothic cathedrals period) in central Italy (cities like Bologna and province) there was a "war" between noble households over who had the tallest tower. The tallest one, "la torre degli Asinelli" was built around 1109 and measures 97m, so I think it could squeeze somewhere in your list for like a century, before the rise of gothic architecture.
