Can you imagine being stuck living next to building works for several hundred years?
Bros education is really paying off now. 🙌
The Big Dig.
Didn't romans build faster.
I think it's the first time I watch the ad.
Re Rome; Most people ignore or just don't know how amazing Verano Cemetery is. It's free and has no lines, but people just gotta see the most popular sites even though Verano is filled with great sculptures.
You forgot the boondoggle in California that will never be finished and has wasted Billions of dollars. Instead of taking care of the Fire Prevention. our Governor Gresome has pushed Hi Speed Rail, something we didn't need. What we do NEED are desalination plants and more water. We take all the river water running south and leave nothing for poor Mexico.
Damn it, YouTube! WHY are you only NOW informing me about this video? I’m subscribed. I’m notified. WTH, YT?
U rock
Love how everyone casually brings in an Assasin's Creed still shots, while explaining rome & It's surrounding history
expecting derinkuyu in turkey but who knows how long it took
Napoleon was looking at his Egypt vacation budget, and he did not budge.
Sometimes we look at ourselves and life is fleeting, but when we're with God we build something eternal together
Microsoft sponsor, we’re in the big time
A partner between Microsoft and the Vatican… gee, which do
I trust less?
frederik's church (or the marble church) in copenhagen also stood as an unfinished ruin for 150 years
Love this channel. Not sure about the "harmony of design" on Chartres. While I love Chartres and appreciate the importance of it in history, I have never looked at Chartres as a cohesive or balanced build. The two disparate towers have always been visually jarring to me. Thank you again for a wonderful channel.
First time I have ever cured your content. You have definitely impressed me.
Great content as always! I first found your channel looking for documentaries to fall asleep too but you’re far too interesting
Also: I-5 through Tacoma, WA.
Know what else is long?
In my opinion churches and cathedrals are ugly, Ancient Greek and Roman temples are beautiful 😍
What about the wall of Benin?
Capitalist can't imagine working on something larger than their own ego.
This is fkn ai bs
GTA 6
this subject is so good but the video sucks somehow
You forgot to mention Mikel Arteta building a champion team project
Unless the digital copy of St. Peter's is FULLY opened to the public domain and made available for free to the wide research community
long term, it's a waste of time.
There have been countless public-private partnerships to e.g. scan the pyramids whereby the data is locked away by a peivate entity and accessible to very few, if at all. RELEASE THE DATA! Then I'd be impressed by Microsoft.
Solid ass sponsorship
jaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa like the purple line
Sponsor approved 👌
