If this video gets 50,000 views I'll make a follow-up on the Suez Canal's 20th century history.
Time to watch this video 50,000 times
Interesting video. Would enjoy a sequel
Do one on the Panama at some point
That could be interesting
you could also spare your self some time and just ask Sam from Wendover if you could borrow his script. (if that will come with or with out his bad jokes i don't know you may have to improvise
Fun fact: My great grandfather was invested in the Suez Canal.
Another fun fact: He gone totally broke.

Yes
my father has worked on the Suez as well. working for a Dutch dregging company they have worked on deepening the channel after it being closed off for so long do to the previous conflict.

I imagine a lot of shovels were used.
More like dynamite
Lots of crafting tables too
lol
@Skain I've heard that there are a lot of desert temples nearby
This video might just get really popular now with the current Suez Canal crisis. Thanks for the great informative video!
but how many Toyota Carolas did they use. O wait wrong channel
:))))))))) rrl
LoL 🤣
Who’s here after the latest Suez Canal blockage? 😟
When it finally moves drug lords will waste thousands of dollars of bullets in d air

Greetings from Egypt! I have relatives from Suez, totally one of the nicest people in Egypt, I love everything about Suez, and I hope I could visit it someday, greetings to our suezi brothers from cairo!
Also, I would like to mention that delecebs, not only was a scammer, but him and his sons had a criminal history in mainland france. Mohammed Ali was great, but his sons didn't really know who they were dealing with...
we all know he's gonna make the video about the canal in the 20th century regardless of how many likes or views it gets
The Suez canal is totally a ANOMOLY.
We are in the 21st century
Ah yes Pre-release Cairo, many bugs needed to be patched before a full release
Now I have to go see a video on how the suez canal was built.
I've always wonderedhow much ecological disruption the canal has caused by allowing species to freely travel too, i mean it cant be only ships crossing it?
Fun Fact:
Unlike most people think the Suez Canal and the Panama Canal are not the world's busiest man-made waterways navigable by seagoing ships. It's the Kiel Canal.
KHAnubis:
* Uploads a video about the Suez canal *
Me,an Egyptian:
Ah,I see you are a man of culture
Really liked this one. Great job buddy.
Just found this Channel and also found out it's a german channel which is even better, already subscribed to Three Arrows, Kraut and neo.
This Channel also deserves much more recognition, keep it up.
So youre saying they are all the same person?
@@aryaaswale7316 no? what are you saying lol
"King Darius says: I am a Persian; setting out from Persia I conquered Egypt. I ordered to dig this canal from the river that is called Nile and flows in Egypt, to the sea that begins in Persia. Therefore, when this canal had been dug as I had ordered, ships went from Egypt through this canal to Persia, as I had intended."
And I wonder if the current Egyptian govt could build another canal from the Nile to the Red Sea in order to not repeat the same mistake as what it happened to a ship that got stuck into the Suez for almost a month but I don't know if this would be feasible to do that or not.
Marvelous! Would love to see this expanded.
E V E R G R E E N: hold my beer
I was in the military and the best part about going through the Suez was that it meant getting hazard pay for the rest of the deployment. lol
The nerd in me marveled at the Suez and the history as we slowly churned through the Suez and out to the red sea. Was pretty cool to think of the rich history that occured
Who's here after the latest news of the canal being blocked by the big evergreen ship
me and im from Suez ✌😂😂
@@bedoelshawadfy5111 Cool, hi! From Boston

1:09 Ever green is that you in a different name?
Fun fact Luigi Negrelli, who built the canal, is my great great great granfather
You serious?
@@hshs923 Yeh, its a pretty fun fact and i still have some of the original plans of the canal and other diaries etc of his!
@@rodtemporaryaccount1028 Damn 🙌🙌
@@rodtemporaryaccount1028that’s awesome. When the teams met in the middle, i’ve always wondered why they never accounted for thousands of feet of curvature on either side. Is there anything in the plans that states how they planned that?
Who’s watching this after the incident???
We gonna need that sequel :-D Thanks for making this video.
What about the River of Trajan, the Roman version that connected Suez and Alexandria?
I just stumbled upon this channel while looking at canal videos, Good video enjoyed it a lot.
Imagine how different the world could be if Romans’ or Egyptians has made the Suez Canal
The Egyptians did before this canal was built.
Thank you for these videos, I am thinking I should make a channel a like khanubis, cuz you are amazing
Hello all the EVERGREENERS...I knew you will come
1:35 A great misconception that the shortest route from Europe to india is through the cape of good hope .
"True, the Suez Canal had not yet been built. There was no sea route between Alexandria and Suez, but trans-shipping stations had been established and passengers, goods and mail were unloaded at Alexandria and delivered by caravan to Suez, considerably reducing the journey to India" from ( Modern History of the Arab Countries. Vladimir Borisovich Lutsky 1969) .
That means a ship from port sudan to Europe could go to suez city and unload the cargo and then Carry it on camels and caravans and go to Alexandria and load them again to ships to go to Europe.
Wow! 2 years already, and I"m the first to give you thumbs up now? Give yourself a thumbs up too, because its a great comment,
This video deserve more views
You said 75% went to the company, 15 to Egypt and 10 to their investors.
What's the difference between the company and the investors?
superb information and much more interestig
You didn't say anything on HOW it was built
If your pushing curiosity stream, you should also be pushing the co-subscrition of nebula, and get involved in nebula if your not. 👌
Great content 👍 as usual ❤️❤️❤️
I can't just "get involved in Nebula". Things have been a lot more complicated than that.
If you really want you can suggest me on their site, but I am also available on armchairhistory.tv/ which is a similar service
Love that gorgeous American aircraft supercarrier traversing the canal.
Who's here after that boat got stuck here?!
A full video would be great!
Can somebody tell me the construction process of the canal it's for an assignment for school?
What about the straight of Hormuz. About some 90% or so of the world's oil flows through this very important water way.
I bet the number of hits on this video has exploded in the last week
Talk about the Suez Canal crises please.
Yo my teacher showed us this video in class last week. It was really weird since I watch this channel already
Some of your images are super low resolution, not sure if that's intentional.
do a video on the suez canal during the 20 century please please please
It was made to transport more **Tea** from China. Uh oh, we have the tea farms in India!
All I wanted to know was how the canal was dug.....shovels??
Fun fact:the suez canal was usually called the "gulf" of suez until those brits built the canal
the french built it not British , it was literally in the video
@@Je-suis-pauvre Non of them built the Suez Canal... It was built by 1 million Egyptian worker.. Among them, 120,000 Egyptian workers were killed Because of the extreme heat and exhaustion.. And then the British and the French came, that the canal belongs to them .. They don't care what happened to those who dug it up.. Thank God that Abdel Nasser nationalized this channel and returned it to Egypt.
@@JarJeerXII Hey, that's what British do.
@@mtlicq Seuz canal was built from 1859 to 1869..and there was no British in Egypt at that time.
@@JarJeerXII That was my meaning, The British invade and take over, and blame others. Thats what they do.
I stayed for the voiceover hand gesture acting at the end .... 😂
Ferdinand sounds a little bit suspicious
Gosh, this guy has the same voice the guy who say “Your Daily Dose” on UA-cam.

Suez canal My Great grandfather Mohammad Sardar khan Tokhi Civil Engineer from London around 1935 Appointment here at Suez canal
Time to do the documentary you wanted to do now that Suez is popular again but the stuck ship 😉
3000th years later, Egyptians still building Impressive things
Fun fact; the guy talking is the great grandson of the mufti who sold mustard-chili hot-dogs to 1.5 million canal workers killing 175,675.
Which guy?
I'm still not clear on how it was actually built
They build a canal and release the water
Thanks for explaining it to me as if I was a toddler
@@luckystriker7489 if you weren't then you'd understand it in the first place 😂
You should do one on the Panama channel too
We got this video in school!
Please do a video about IRELAND
@sub4me 4 a cookie Do you mean Republic of Ireland and Northern Ireland? Republic of Ireland is an independent country while Northern Ireland remained part of the UK when we got independence.
@sub4me 4 a cookie To put it simply, when Britain controlled Ireland they sent settlers to Northern Ireland in the Plantation of Ulster. The majority in these lands remained Protestant Unionists and chose to stay in the UK after Ireland's War of Independence. Catholic Civil Rights marches in the North sparked 30 years of sectarian violence called The Troubles which ended in the Good Friday Agreement 1998. There is an open border and people can choose citizenship but Brexit may challenge this.
O'Khanubis
The French entrepreneur built this with his son, He became very famous once it was completed, and the same person worked hard to build the Panama canal, Due to diseases they were not successful, but they did try hard.
after the french built it, the british took it over?
I'm sure there was another video very similar to this about the Suez? Maybe I'm imagining it, or maybe the videos are all very similar, as it's a well known story?

Would love to see a follow up for this
please do a follow up on this
What would be the implications of it being say... blocked by the biggest of the cargo ships? Would it be good?
Probably not
@@KhAnubis lessons will be learned, one would like to think, great informative video btw, look forward to an update if you get chance
It’s funny that the canal also ends up being the catalyst to the scramble for Africa
Can't wait
120k Egyptian workers died digging the canal
1:18 foreshadowing
Looking videos as usual
Good video 2021
nice vid
3:25 1498 Actually!
The Suez canal is not much older than the Panama canal.... 45 yrs...
4:25 how it can be? I thought all of sea or ocean has same level?
they had fake news back then too.
Strike when the iron is hot! Give us p2!
Do the epic with the 20 century time
Like nr 250 checking in.
Amazing how often good ideas are cancelled by administrators with no vision.
Misleading title. The video doesn’t explain how it was built.
Napoleon really messed up 🤦♂️
🙆🚁
Had to do a school project on the Suez Crisis.
Spoilers- It's Britain's last notable international move till Brexit
Mythology Guy *sips tea angrily*
BUT MUH FALKLANDS WAR
Is 50/60 years a really long time?
Never comment on the title card. You'll mess up like me.
Attempted to separate that part away from Africa. Prior obviously they were once connected. Was not created for trade.
What would be the problem if the difference between the seas is 10m?!
A strong current pushing ships towards Mediterranean? 10m drop per 200km is a hell of a force in terms of river stream
Maaaaake another 1
I would like to show the video to a class of children. Could you cut out the cuss words? The parents will not approve and the video is so well done. thank you
Do part 2 pliss 👉👈
But previously from port Sudan to Turkey would have been more of a land journey. Suez canal is more convenient, that's all.
Premiered 120 min ago
That's a caol way of saying 2 hours
Who is here with the recent cargo ship "stuck" in the canal?
But how was it built?
You’re my favourite channel for questions like this :)
EDIT: I’ve just seen your subscriber count and you are soooo underrated
Communism killed more people than Nazism.

I'm on my phone I'm writing this comment so I have a link to your channel.

Hahaha I just read it, that makes more sense. Ladies and gentlemen, boys and girls, Comrades and Friends, The revolution carries on, from the ash we making new. Hahaha
Strait of Gibraltar has more ships going through than Panama and Suez combined. But it isn’t manmade.
The "documentary" about the Suez canel is almost devoid of content.
In desert and wilderness
Nothing in this video about how the canal was built.
