Let it sit for a while. Masonry moves and shifts and copes with movement well (if properly built). It will settle, and be better and stronger for it. Congratulations to the mason and builders!
The way these bridges were made back in the days is clearly forgotten knowledge. What they used to do was placing bags of sand on top of the scaffold, and to connect the stones they poked holes in them and slowly lowered the structured until it came together. That said, this is a nice piece of work none the less.
Knowing the arch must transfer it's weight to the ends of the arch, it should be dug into the banks on bth sides.Looking at the bridge, the left side has a fairly substantial base but the right side looks a little light and if it slides or shifts to the right the whole thing would come down..
he should be wearing gloves
You can stand on it right away. Idk who told that guy he couldn't.
Es una obra faraonica jigantesca con un peso incalculable😂
Nice! when well built this type of Bridge gets stronger with weight. I'm glad to read your comment bellow that it is still standing.
Looks like it could do with more masonry on top downward pressure makes it stronger
That’s a fine looking bridge, take it from a 12C.
Lol, looks 😂
A little Portland cement never killed anyone.
No ooooo oooo
"I bet he's cheating on me rn" Me and the men:
cameraman is that friend who gets everyone else in trouble.
Can we get an update?
4 years later…did it last?
Word going around is that a troll from YT moved in under the bridge shortly after this was posted and will not allow anyone to cross it.

so beautiful. dry stone building is a lost art
No se de donde sacas los hechos que relatas, pero de todos modos: me encanto conocer unos tipos de la realidad alternative.
An arc in the shape of an ellipse, that should work.
There are structures built in past that can't be built in the present, how is that for engineering?
The Chinese built structures on the bridge to act as a downward force to keep the bridge locked-in for stability.
Improperly cut stones, not made for walking, just looking.
Sheesh, functional and visual.
Mother nature doesn't rely on your extremely high knowledge of Quantum Mechanics.
Where is your key stone?
releasing the centering is one of the hardest and most overlooked parts of stone work
update please
True craftsmen. They really stand by their work.
the bridge be like, "step on me daddy 👀"
city "no railings. 10000 fine and tear it down"
😛
Id stand on that right there. id do an irish jig across that thing.
I don't know man
the algorithm's confused with me, because I got recommended this out of nowhere. Great work though!

Where can I learn more about this method you speak of?
They built using the same techniques and SAME camera that the Romans did great work guys
Oh, poor buttercup, go see your mommy for a pat on the head.
holy shit how long did that take?
Wow, but how did they build that 1000 years ago ?
Please post an update 😊
How did you manage to get the video resolution down to 240p in this day and age? Used an old Nokia flip phone camera from 1998?
It is supported by it's own weight, locking the stones above down against each one below.... an old Roman trick.
I'm so curious to know how it's holding up
Beautiful.
Concrete invented 6500 BC.
Okay I watched it, now leave me alone.
Я один ждал, что мост обрушится? 😅
Was I the only one waiting for the bridge to collapse? 😅
Now dip it in epoxy
Gee, if only someone would invent a liquid substance that would harden into something like stone. Didn't the Romans have something like that? Hmmm.
Who says old white guys cannot come up with a new, useless hobby? Well done, gents.

I also want part 2
One works, one watches. This is the way.
1000 years from now, this will be considered proof of aliens.
