The Tower of London: Reconstruction of 1000 Years of History

[@brentmeister2710]

This video should be on permanent display in the Tower. Thank you for this highly impressive reconstruction.

[@OlavSchneider]

Actual architectural models are more immersive

[@softbreeze941]

I like the detail of the river water turning from nice blue into disgusting brown over the years as well

[@calarch78]

Thank you for making this - so wonderful to see such a concise history unfold visually. Please keep making these. I can’t wait to see what place you take us to next!

[@BobMarshallArtist]

This is fantastic. I love your reconstruction animations, and very informative video. I have no doubt that it involved a huge amount of effort to make this. Congratulations!

[@away69]

To think that scholars will dedicate their entire lives studying about the history of this place and this gentleman just summarised all that knowledge into a 30 min informative video, this is priceless. Thanks so much, really ❤

[@ShaneCarroll-y8o]

Well no shit, how do you think we were able to get it into a 30 minute video if we didnt have people who studied all their lives beforehand?

[@away69]

@@ShaneCarroll-y8o my point which you completely missed is that he summarised that knowledge for commoners like me, in a simple, visual and interactive way, and I'm being thankful for that

[@Bugman541]

@@away69 your fake and sugar coated optimism and cheeriness make me fucking sick.

[@TWOCOWS1]

Excellent. Really. The gtaphics and historical presentation is superb. Even the BBC and various TV channels couldnt make anything REMOTELY this good. my congrats..

[@jeffreytan2948]

Exactly and at this level of detail

[@justinsmith4562]

Of course they could. What a silly statement.

[@TWOCOWS1]

@@justinsmith4562 All of us "could" and don't--too much trouble, too much money, too much of need for scholarship. Plug in, Justin

[@MrDarkmenace1]

Great video. The tower is in my opinion, the greatest attraction that London has to offer.

[@mikajlod25]

This is AMAZING, Great job, Love it, give me more!!!

[@quicksilver2510]

I visited the Tower last November from Australia. Fascinating place. I love the timeline demonstrated here. Well done.

[@shotgunbettygaming]

This was a really fun watch! I LOVED seeing the building going up and down over the ages, well done!!

[@jimdanby9694]

This is one of the most captivating and beautifully made videos I have ever seen. Thank you so much.

[@theirishbandit7301]

This is great. It’s so interesting seeing what London looked like back then. Can’t wait to watch more of these videos!

[@michellebell5092]

Brilliant. Such a clear and easy to follow (great animation technique) history of London’s famous tower. Thankyou

[@PaulStewartAviation]

Great video, really enjoyable!

[@Clare_cat_lady2014]

This was INCREDIBLE! Please make more!

[@TheShogunRichie]

Loved this series can't wait to see more!!!

[@toni4729]

Thank you for the comprehensive description of this part of London.

[@TheWizzylizzie]

That was amazing, I really enjoyed it, thank you. Seeing London itself changing was fascinating too. I subscribed straight away! More please.

[@rjb6327]

I watch the 'walking tour London' on You tube almost every night. I was always interested in the Tower when there is a video, walking past it or crossing the Tower Bridge. This video answered a lot of questions.

[@pedrapgwilym1341]

Fantastic animation of the history of one of UKs most iconic landmarks.

[@lozeldatkm]

This has been great, I watched this as each part came out. I think youtube recommended this because I was trying to find timelapse videos like this about entire cities like London and Paris. Any idea what location you want to do next?

[@reconstructor3068]

I would love to do Westminster next

[@JulienickissonNicisson]

Westminster weres the Afghan

[@Reachforitify]

Love your work. Great visualisation of the history of the tower. well worth a complete watch.

[@Ruben-wk2vf]

This is a great compilation keep up the great work. You really bring history to life for me. Thx

[@bernardolobato6956]

Please make more videos like this, it is just AMAZING that we can see how the castles ACTUALLY were. Please make about more places like Versailles, Louvre, Windsor, Buckingham etc 🙏🏼🙏🏼

[@brucewatt1032]

That’s the most comprehensive visual guide to the Tower of London I’ve ever seen. Well done on your research and 3D constructions/animations. I think someone else mentioned that this should be on display at the Tower - I totally agree - perhaps you should make enquiries?

[@CrazyBrosCael]

I visited the tower the other day. Gladly your videos helped me understand what I was looking at 👍

[@Kunfucious577]

This was the highlight of my trip to London. It’s amazing to me that it’s still a functioning building after a 1000 years. It’s in great condition.

[@robert4724]

Brilliant production/video, thank you.

[@kellmac]

My husband and I watched this early this morning and absolutely loved it! Fantastic job! With England's rich history, I'm sure you've got many ideas of what to do next. I look forward to it! Subscribed.

[@All_Good_Things]

Fantastic video I enjoyed every minute 👌

[@Sharpie951HD]

Incredible, hope you continue to make these videos!

[@MartyJackson]

This is so great being able to visualise it. Please do more! Some suggestions: The Globe, Buckingham Palace, Edinburgh Castle

[@paulhancock7670]

This video perfectly complemented our visit last month, and filled in numerous blanks in the tower history not covered during the tour. Superb video, thank you very much.

[@akcarrington]

Wow. Such a well researched and beautifully crafted animation of the ebb and flow of the Tower’s history.

[@kiankier7330]

a great video.. I wonder what is next? It would be interesting to use this type of video to showcase the history of small areas/centres of power like Slotsholmen in Copenhagen or the vatican

[@elaineporter182]

Thanks!

[@reconstructor3068]

Thank you so much!

[@John-c4r1o]

6:40 The white tower was almost certainly made 'white' by a distant ancestral relation of mine who was chancellor to Henry 3, the 'white wash' would have acted to protect against damp. He's in the patent rolls petitioning for payment for underpinning and various works on the Towers walls. His seal was buried in the footings of the old London bridge so a lot of construction must have being going on, incl westminister, chester and yorkminister. Nb: A lot of work was going at the Towet in preparation for the 'Battle of the Barons'.

[@pimNonthiworawong-c1n]

I should have seen your video before i visited the tower last 2 weeks. This is even more detailed by the map and exhibition at the tower. I will surely go back for another visit and take a look at each place mentioned in this video!

[@natenatters]

This series is honestly some of the best content on youtube! Thanks :D Cant wait to watch this

[@pamcullen537]

Marvellous presentation bringing history to life in an easy to understand way. Thank you for your hard work 🦆💕

Wonderful visual representation of history. Learned a lot, loved it.

[@B-RollBooks]

[@JohnShields-xx1yk]

These reconstruction videos are some of my favorites, like one of the pyramids and all the monuments reconstructed, thank for a very interesting look back in time.

[@JamesVanDeRothschild]

I like your video style. Subscribed. Thanks 🎉

[@pyridonfaltis9761]

This was a fantastic work, and something I've wanted to see for a long time. I'm interested in how ancient buildings looked throughout the years rather than just see them as they presently are. This was phenomenally done. Other thing lost to time in London that I'd like to see sometimes in the future is that of Palace of Whitehall, because there's so little of it left nowadays.

[@Baddy67110]

What a great reconstruction video wow ! thank you

[@richardtempleton8840]

A very interesting video. Thankyou 👍 took my children there when they were young children and it was fascinating and memorable. 👍

[@jamiewhittle1787]

Just watch this absolutely bloody brilliant if we’ve had stuff like this at school my God can you imagine the kids today? Learning about this so you can see it? Change you can picture it you can not just imagine it. You see it for what it was. whoever is in charge of this site you’re brilliant so good. You should do stuff like this for schools education in this country. My God would you capture their imagination this is so good well done. I’m gonna save you to favourites to see what more you come out with.

[@bob_the_bomb4508]

23:53 great to hear a shout out to my old Corps, the Royal Engineers. I’d add that the work on William’s first defences, including the White Tower, was begun by his engineer, Bishop Gundolph, regarded as the first Royal Engineer… :)

This is such a fantastic idea that we will soon watch "Discovery/History Channel" run away with it and make amazing graphics (and money; probably including a shark in insane production budgets).

[@geoffreyrichardson8738]

That was interesting and well done

[@efterblivna]

Fascinating

[@mariekelly985]

Anne Boleyn was not executed where you say in video - that area with current memorial is a Victorian guess-a-ment. Anne was executed in front of a large crowd in the open area between The White Tower and the modern crown jewels house.

[@reconstructor3068]

Thanks for the clarification!

[@chrismiles4579]

I believe the Queens House wasn't built until 1540, four years after Anne Boleyn's execution so she never saw it. She was held in the Queens Lodgings, built by Henry which were in the private area over by the gardens which are now part of the New Armoury.

[@MarloweDash]

Wonderful video. Love the graphics. Well done. Complaint: the music is distracting and too loud and completely unnecessary (imo) Thank you!!

[@rexlex1736]

I'm an American descended from William. It's interesting to learn about the Tower.

[@semptexico]

Nicely done 🙂

[@aliasrachael1594]

I liked this very much, and I'm looking forward to seeing future videos, but found the music intrusive and distracting. May I put in a plea for quieter (or no) music next time??

AMAZING.

[@kille-4B]

I really enjoyed this, very well made. I subscribed. I still wonder why 1 of the cornertowers of the Tower is round while the other 3 are square, does anyone know the reason for this? I’d like to suggest the area Whitehall/ Parliament for an animation.

[@chrismiles4579]

Very good animation.

[@matmazan3355]

Fantastic

i feel like 3d history of london as a whole would be really cool but a lot of work
