It's so weird to think that there are mountains sitting in nature that are made out of high quality marble countertop.
Aren't these usually covered by dirt and trees, therefore the average human walking through, wouldn't know what's up.

Same thing with gold, I suppose.
"high quality marble"
We created that idea out of nowhere...it is just a rock that we name and sell for high prices because yes
that was quite interesting to watch, you don't get to see this unless you work at a marble quarry or get lost on youtube 😅
your just looking at big machines driving marble for an half hour.. I think its a shame cause a photo print is the same view..and cheaper. selling nature is pretty stupid

What I want to know is how they cut and transported massive blocks of marble back in the 1400's with no power equipment whatsoever. Michelangelo's "David" statue was carved out of a block weighing at least 40 tons, and transported from Carrara to Florence (Italy), a distance of some 80 or 90 miles over land.

We all know marble is "just rock". I think she means it's weird to see how finished the rock already looks while it's still in a mountain. It's basically instant end product, which is pretty cool.
Fun fact: Parthenon in Acropolis was made from the quarry in Penteli and even today produces the same quality of marble.
@@Aeoxmusic some facts are that the ancient quarry that gave Acropolis marble isn't used nowadays, there is a nearby quarry though, the one that the video shows. Ancient Greeks used Kifisias road to transport the blocks downtown Athens from ancient Dionisos quarry. The last fact is that the marble today is identical to the ancient one and if you can afford the price, you can find some pure white without any kind of 'pattern' or 'waves' in it.
@@Aeoxmusic prostitutes in ancient hellas used to wear sandals that had carved on the bottom the words "follow me "so you know they were prostitutes
@@Aeoxmusic if you where non hellenic and climb up the parthenon they would behead you cuz parthenon was made for hellenes only now every race goes and sees the parthenon for money
Dang that’s sick, it puts into perspective just how hard it was to make large scale marble structures in the past, not only making the structure but the process of obtaining and cutting marble in Greece and other countries
It would seem that there will be government edifices, high end kitchens and baths, museum floors and Chinese cutting boards f-o-r-e-v-e-r...
@@thomastrout9997 true
The mountain we extract marble in Athens is also not relatively near the center of city so it would have been a literal torture for the ancient Athenian slaves who carried it all the way to the Acropolis to build all the temples and stuff on it. And yes the ancient Athenians used the same mountain
@@DimitrisSartzetakis wow
@@DimitrisSartzetakis that’s what the official narrative wants you to believe that slaves did all this by hand with chisels and hammers, what if there was an advanced civilization that was more advanced than ours who built all those old-school type marble cathedrals that we call churches which were actually re-purposed and were something else, and what if we stole and got our technology from those past people and then advanced civilization who are making intricate marble statues and marble buildings with pillars and doorways that seem to be made for a human that was five times the size of your average human today, don’t believe everything the government tells you look into the lost history of earth and Tartarian architecture, there’s a reason why all those old buildings you see with pillars and spires, aren’t built today anymore because those weren’t built by us they were here from an old civilization there found all over the world in similar types of architecture World War I and two were carpet bombing campaigns to get rid of that kind of architecture that would show evidence that we didn’t build it and then they kept certain specific buildings like the White House and re-purposed them they are also most of the time partially underground, if you look at a lot of windows they’re halfway buried, look into mud flood and soil liquefaction, do you official narrative would tell you to believe for the most advanced society in the world but… If you’re open minded enough you might just learn something that will open your mind to a whole new perspective maybe you’ll take me later either way it is necessary but it is worth looking into

Nobody likes the reality behind anything.
Hypocrites are everywhere. For them, rules and orders are made for others to follow.
@MadCar2 Productions honestly my take on it is because we’re Canadian and extremely privileged. it’s pushed so hard in the media that it’s 100% bad and has zero practicality behind it so instead of realizing the necessity of some things especially in certain parts of the world they skip that and act like it’s the only factor destroying the world.
@MadCar2 Productions it’s hard to get a real answer as the “conversations” always turn into extremely heated debates with other issues thrown on top like they obtain the issue we’re talking about. And in the end I’d much rather just be friends with them for the reasons we originally became friends no need to get into arguments over things we have zero possibilities on changing. Aslong as they respect me and don’t push my beliefs I will do the same back.
My mind struggles to comprehend this. It does not even seem real! I guess I thought that marble slabs came from smaller “pockets” and not whole mountains. Fascinating!
1:56 - Can we all just stop for a moment to appreciate the coordination between those two drivers?

@@thenarrator1984 where are your videos? Lets see your skillzzz
Marble is actually a product coming from the transformation process of a buried limestone in an environment of high pressure and excess temperature. What you see on the surface today used to be buried underneath while a high T zone will trigger the process of recrystallization. Tectonic forces will later force these blocks to ascent back to surface (orogenesis) as like earth wants to show off the beauty of our planet
is it possible to create marble from limestone artificially then? That would make it so much cheaper
@@Rikard416 I feel like that would make it so much more expensive. I mean, look at the equipment they're using here. Now go up an order of magnitude if you want to make a pressure vessel capable of handling both high temps and pressures required to basically *squish* stone. We have the tech to make small artificial diamonds, sure, but we aren't exactly going to throw an entire GDP at the wall to make big artificial diamonds, let alone marble slabs.
@@pcblah Exactly. The energy spent to simulate the pressure and temperature environments would multiply the cost at least a million of times

@Not Me lol I'd say so considering I made the same mistake
Nature endowed Greece with the best quality marble. Ancient creations are preserved to this day!
Oh my...I had no clue you found marble in quantities like this!! That's blowing my mind. Now on a mission to find out how marble is formed in nature.
Really its just rock, its just made out of limestone vs other minerals. We have a lot of Granite quarries in my area, but they are nowhere near as big as this. There is also an old limestone quarry but I guess it's not marbleized.
Sea shells piling up at the bottom of the sea, plate tectonics, pressure compacting the enormous pile of sea shells into a submarine mountain of marble. Eventually, due to the African continent plowing its way towards Europe, the under sea mountains came up above the surface, and that's the result. It's a pitty and a shame in my opinion. This is utter destruction of a pristine environment. Fascinating to see and sad at the same time.
@@tuscanland i like your explanation but what is a pristine environment?
@@ColdPillowz It would have been a pristine environment if the quarry was never there. When it rains rivers of white milky water flow down the side of the hills. Marble dust everywhere. The destruction I'm referring to is in that the side of the mountains are being eaten away. Once they are gone, they are gone for good. I bet they won't stop until it's a flat land.
@@tuscanland ohh relax there tons of nature out there
As a granite miner, the skill involved with the front end loaders and even the loading process of the haul truck is nothing short of amazing.
putting only one chain when loaded on the trailer takes a lot of skills too, but I guess it's not going far.
@@ΙωάννηςΛέπουρας How big of a kitchen counter top do you need?

It really is. I drove loaders before. Going backwards along a wall while coordinating with a partner is no small challenge. You can see in the clip the driver of the front front-loader hugs the wall and scrapes along it to keep himself on course and not falling off the edge :) . Those balloon tires are perfect for wall-checking. This is the reality of front-loaders at work .. :)

@Favel Konefka. It's a theory that makes more sense than dragging the stones imo.
Admire Greece... A tiny piece of land with huge treasures! The land itself is very rich, with some of the best quality products BUT thanks to the politicians, heavy industry is intentionally, almost, destroyed and as a result Greece exports all those products as raw material, and the countries that takes them presents what ever they make out of it as a quality product of THEIR own!!
Greece has no space for larger facilities and especially not large scale industries. They need every surface for farming so they can feed their population. Greece is very mountainous, so everything is going to be a lot more difficult. Tourism and trading are the key parts of Greek economy. Although the trading part is mostly imports, or transfering goods from one to another market.
Politicians fucked up the trading part especially, because they didnt tax ship owning compenies, and rich people,... and well, they even didnt bother to tax ordinary people, too.
A lot has changed in Greece by now. I hope they will recover, but these are hard times. Pandemic is going to ruin the other key part of Greek economy.
And on the other hand, Greece has great ressources in the sea, but if they are going to extract them, Turkey is going to get mad.
@@Gentleman...Driver You're wrong NOT because i say so, BUT cause a simple examine of Greece' industrial past can speak loud about it! Trust me, its a sad, sad story, of which, i dont blame Europe etc BUT Greek politicians and their plans, which, when it comes to heavy industry, served other countries and NOT Greece(!) believe it or not! History do NOT lie nor the countless companies of the past, which were able to produce specific type of machines of better quality and price than Germany, England. even US! Its a long story and if you're not Greek, its hard to study it and find evidence about it.
About taxes, its another huge story! When it comes to ship owners, they were mega-idiots to drive them OFF Greece, instead ok let them have their ships under Greek flag! Greek ship owners have the biggest fleet, even today, if im not wrong, and its a enormous financial power, and instead of allow them to work in their country, we drove them away! Why? If you find the anwer let me know pls! Why other countries welcome them, like England? They are stupid and Greeks were smart to drive them away??

Not long ago, I worked in a company where they where working on stone slabs for making Kitchenplates, floors, tables, door entrys.... . And the machines there, where very big. So I can't really imagine how gigantic the machines for the blocks have to be. its very interesting to have a little marble plate in front of me while watching this enormous "Marble mountains"
You can truly appreciate the power of hydraulics on those loaders
4:00 is pretty incredible watching these huge machines tip forward like a puppy drinking water

Imagine hundreds of years ago, you were just exploring the area around your house and find this beautiful white mountain in the middle of the forest
I wouldn;t be white, it would be covered with a small layer of dirt and shrubs and trees.
@@Blackadder75 I saw some comments that the quarry was already used in ancient time, but you are definitely right about the time before that :)
Actually, the most amazing thing is that marble stone was formed millions of years ago. So when you look at the lines in marble on a counter top, those lines have been exactly the same since way before humans existed. Imagine what the earth looked like then and what the earth has been thru since that marble cooled and solidified🤯
>>> 6,000 years
@@dixieboy5689 no.
I hope I remember that the next time I look at marble, or anything else old like that.
@@Hopeful1s >>> The Bible says 6,000 years.
I always think that about the average rock lying on the ground when you walk by. Like how old is the average rock sitting on the side of the road or below a tree?? One that you might pick up and throw across a field or lake???
Best marble quality in the world. The sad fact is that they are sold to Italy and the Italians market them as "fine Italian marble" and are resold to the world as Italian marble and not Greek.
Seeing what it takes in modern era to move such massive blocks, one has to question how the ancients did it.
No questions. It took much more time and needed a lot, lot more people.
up
@@Malheirods The question he forwarded was "HOW?" Then, you jumped in like Mr. Know It All, but you didn't say SQUAT about HOW they did it! Just shut up if you don't know HOW they actually did it, kid!
Ancients had no Internet, so they had a lot of free time for it.
@@Malheirods you didn't actually explain it you just made a reductionist statement. I don't think enough humans could fit around one of those blocks to begin to lift one end. even with some leverage from going under
It’s just wild to think people in ancient times were working with this stuff without any of this equipment
This is so incredible. I am amazed at how perfect and pristine the marble is right after excavation. The earth is truly a magical place 😱
This blew my mind. I thought it was made out of marble!! I can’t believe it’s just sitting there, so pure looking. I always thought a special cleaning process was needed in order to bring out that white. Amazed!
This Marble Quarry is one of the most upscale places in the world, as even the dirt and dust is made of snow-white marble! Wow!
That must be awesome to be a worker there on site and have not just ordinary dust, but *marble* dust in your lungs.
Imagine that this also happened 5000 years ago when Egyptians quarrying granites
Even more so if you consider that granite is much more difficult to quarry because it's harder than marble.
and with copper tools too....

@@oingpla they used flint on the granite
@@Martinit0 The majority of the pyramid was limestone, not granite. Only 1/5th of 1% of the pyramids was made of granite
So satisfying, imagine if ancient greek made an underground city like cappadocia. This would be amazing 😀
ua-cam.com/video/IXQ7_SPPp7I/v-deo.html
Is Cappadocia underground? Didn’t know
@Kerim Temel cool. Thanks
It’s crazy, I’m 13 and had no idea mountains could be made of marble. So crazy I’m still learning such new exciting things
This is wild. I've never thought of how marble was mined but I would've never imagined this. Thanks for sharing very cool. 👍
What a luxurious quarry - the whole floor is a super solid mass of marble. Imagine the wondrous fairy like sight if they polish it till it shines - the only breathtaking mountain beauty in the world.
Oh yeah, we like luxury in our mine. We build our retaining walls out of marble
ua-cam.com/video/IXQ7_SPPp7I/v-deo.html
They unintentionally created a Greek palatial masterpiece 🙂
Watching this makes the Ancient marble structures even more impressive. 👍
i work in construction and i have to admit these loaders driver are very skilled
Amazing. Using the average man working there to scale the entire operation, I noticed the sizes of the blocks they quarried, the retaining walls constructed and the massive vehicles used. Impressive... and then I thought of The Great Pyramid. 😉
Τώρα μπορείτε έστω και στο ελάχιστο να φανταστείτε γιατί είναι εκπληκτικά όλα αυτά που κατασκεύασαν οι αρχαίοι πρόγονοι μας χωρίς όλα αυτά τα μηχανήματα και με εκπληκτική τέχνη που ακόμα και σήμερα δεν μπορούμε να κατανοήσουμε. Εύγε
Respect
That's got to be the prettiest quarry I've seen! Thank you, God, for giving this earth such beautiful resources
Which god are you talking about? Zeus? :P
And thanks for all the diseases, natural disasters, suffering of humans and animals, etc.
(Avoiding cherrypicking.)
Haha you really think god put it there?...
seen this in Assassin's Creed Odyssey, guess it's the modern quarry version here xD
I do not understand why there is hate toward that game as I found it to be the best AC game I have played since AC2. I mean, who the hell can dislike romping around the ancient Greek world that has a few myths in it. Fools.
@@mspionage1743 Because people are derps
@@mspionage1743 I didnt like the RPG element of fighting and fighting power, but except for that it was my only AC and the story and characters are well done. Kassandras VA is really talented.
These drivers have incredible skill. I'm happy when I nail parallel parking.
hhaahaaaaha very nice comment
Let's fill that entire quarry up with water for a stunning marble swimming pool !
I love classic marble sculptures. One of the most beautiful things to see in a art museum.
It's quite impressive how people can learn to use construction vehicles like they would their arms and legs.
Some of the things I've seen people do with excavators is crazy.
Amazing technics and the way the entire hill is been cut in a organized way is applaudable.
in ancient times, the small Greek island of Paros was home to the finest marble in the ancient world. even to this day it would still be considered as such. unfortunately now the quarries are nearly depleted of all of this beautiful marble, some of the best statues that exist today from ancient times are used of this marble. Nike of Samothrace is one of them
It is fantastic to see all the process from a mountain or marble to the finish product ending up in our kitchen as a marble table or something else. Thank you.
Wow… amazing.. I guess I never thought about what a marble quarry would look like…but this is quite astonishing
Is that minecraft
As someone who drives loaders for a living moving logs, this makes me kinda want to move to Greece and put in an application at a quarry
Sure you'd make a pretty penny doing it. Must take exceptional skill.
Same here !
Do it!
This video is amazing! The most beautiful things are from nature, thank you for showing us the process of how marble is processed.
Mármore da Grécia (marble of grece) incrível. Agora está explicado o porque é tão caro o m2.

Carrara marble is more precious
Perfect documentary video.
Marble a CAT 🇺🇲 mega tons 💪👊👍
It's amazing to notice how the marble background makes look such a dirty and dusty work so elegant and clean.
An interesting fact about some of our quarries here in Greece - Many of those that were used to source marble for projects like the Acropolis and Parthenon are in operation to this day (I'm no expert in marbles, but to my eye this appears to be similar if not identical to the Pentellic Marble used on Parthenon). It's very interesting to see.
very cool thanks for sharing
the quarries that the parthenon marble was extracted are not working to this day, they are long closed and it's prohibited to extract marble from Penteli , this quarry is at Dionysos. And i really can't understand how exactly your eye can see what marble is this ? do you even know what types of marble are been extracted in Greece? ( i don't even know why you had to make up all this nonsense )
That was my first thought when watching this.
Awesome…thanks…that’s mad trippy that they’re still in operation
the marble block in the 2nd clip is in my bathroom now! It has the same exact crack
That reverse driving front end loader driver has my utmost respect!
I love how blocky and minecrafty everything is.
It's oddly satisfying.
Didn’t know marbles were made like this 🤯
Incredible that you have that much marble in a single location...amazing
The walls of the quarry look absolutely gorgeous, almost mythical, yet somehow artificial.
I wouldn't be surprised if I saw the same quarry in the lord of the rings.
They couldn’t find one English-speaking person to narrate this?
They couldn't even find an English-speaking person to write it.
The Greeks gave the world civilisation and culture.
I just got done operating a 950 front end loader all week. A bit smaller then these but still a nice piece of equipment
I used to operate one as the backup operator in a sugar refinery loading limestone and coal. Whenever i had to do it i never complained even if it was 12hrs. Its so fun.
ua-cam.com/video/IXQ7_SPPp7I/v-deo.html
I operated L350 f Volvo’s and 950s in sand mine boy I got the job at 23, felt empowered as all get out. Did it for four years
And I was by no means a true operator. Out of the hundred in our crew only one I could solidly say along with the others who knew him was a true operator
One of my favorite MW2 stages.
Thank you all subscribers Greetings to you
crazy to see how hard and dangerous it is to move blocks this size, and how frequently it was done through out ancient history! really great watch!
For sure god created all this !!! Marvelous!!! Still people say god doesn’t exist!!!
Why do they not just use a fully enchanted netherite pickaxe? (edit: nvm I got it. Its in greece, so they probably can't afford it.)
Wow, an entire mountain made of marble.
