No, this is a shitty build, even with the modern equipment the old bridges were made and designed to a different level. The stones were carved to fit into each other. The stones for the arch were wedge-shaped and perfectly fitted together, designed so that the weight of the bridge makes it stronger.
Really nice video. An excavator, a chainsaw and materials. No consultants, no drawings just experience. Think what aid could have done, don't change people but let them be proud of what they can do.
An amazing movie...Thanks for uploading...so much harmony in the working process and the surrounding impressions from helpful and skillful people, music, dog, chicken, geese, fruit-trees, clouds, eagles... I would like to see mankinds future and labour environment a bit like this...🙏
There would already be 20 different inspectors in damn Russia. Who gave the construction permit, where did the equipment come from, where are the drawings and the bridge design, design loads, where are the documents (payment and receipts) for stone and sand, permission for logging and similar issues.
Romans used slaves instead of excavators. Slaves were probably cheaper when bought, but were a lot slower. These romans from South-East Asian however did a great job.
The music is ok but I'd much rather hear the ringig of chains , the excavators diesel engine, and all the other noises associated with this construction
You have to admire the old guy's fearlessness being at the bottom of a pit with heavy machinery and huge rocks above him. I have never seen a large mechanical scoop used like a shovel to mix concrete before.
Loved the ancient gas-powered pump, excavator, dump trucks , chainsaw and bags of concrete mix!!! That explains how Roman and Medieval buildings and bridges are still standing! Alert the archaeologists! Kidding aside, this was a beautiful construction when they got done and I liked the lack of narration interspliced with all the views of surrounding nature.
I could look at a beautiful round arch for hours in wonder and awe. To build one is one of my life goals. Absolutely gorgeous...holding up the world 🌎. Great work!
Great job. The only thing I would do differently is to use a key stone and not smash the stones in, and make the wall on top of the bridge higher. The key stone is shaped like a key so it will slip and still keep it's place if the bridge is failing, hopefully.
If that's the only thing you would do differently, then you are just as bad as they are. The title promised the use of ancient technology, but failed to deliver. This is fraud.
shame the put concrete between the stones, if anything, that concrete's going to give this bridge a life span of less than 100 years. Given how extensive the foundation work was, they should've just laid bare stone, worked faces, but bare. Neat work regardless.
@aserta : Don't worry to much 'cause the Antic Roman ingeneers used cement, of course a special kind of cement : CaOH + pouzzolane (microscopic powder of Al + Si oxyde, coming from volcano) ... pretty strong in permanent water. In fact, here, the cement has not to be a glue between the stones, it only has to fill the space between the stones. The archictural strategy is to use only the gravity, thus the heavy weight of the structure. That's why the "arc-en-plein-ceintre", typically antic roman ...
Супер гарна робота а на критиків не зважайте,я з батьком побудував також підвал зі сводчасою стелею зі старовиної цегли,викопав та обклав камінням басейн на 300 м.куб,15м.*8м,-3м завглибшки -ціле озеро,колодязь 30 м завглибшки,будинок-маеток на 200 м.кв по площі,+прилеглі приміщення... І все вручну без техніки та вдвох, втрьох -дуже важко працюючи близько 15 років,тому якщо можна полегшити та пришвидшити працю технікою то це правильне рішення!!!
Should have left the wooden construction pieces intact devided in de few seprate pieces to use them for other bridge projects or for multiple arches in one bridge.... It would save a lot on money later but kost a little extra in the beginning...
First time I saw a digger in ancient tech, must have missed that when I was taught history, also ready mixed concrete, chainsaws etc, wonders of modern world tools.

I work with stone all the time and let me tell you this thing is absolutely hideous. Granite is literally one of the best stones to work with and they didn't even attempt to chisel it or fit the stones together in an appealing way. On top of that they never tooled the joints or even bothered to scrape the concrete out from between them. As a bridge it functions I guess but to put all that work in and to have it look like a giant turd at the end is an absolute shame.
Shouldn't those walls be fortified with sheeting and/or trench box so it won't engulf the worker ..a hard hat might be a good idea as well!!! Hey, where's the erosion control materials as well???
I disagree with this type of video pretending to show a technic then never show the overall plan neither the construction step by step. It is just disjoined sequence without continuity. Seems like 5 different construction sites from 7 different places, for example sand and then green silt.
Video title is fraud. You said using ancient technology. The ancients din't have excavators or electric water pumps. They also didn't use modern concrete mixes. You need to change the title to say 'How to build a stone bridge, using MODERN technology".
You’re making a simple mistake. They only need to use one ancient “technology” or build pattern in this case, to make the title correct. If they wrote “ONLY using ancient technology” you may have some ground to stand on, but they didn’t.
На сколько помню, блоки под арку выдалбливались из цельного камня или выливались под опалубку из полимерного бетона, под небольшим углом со с внешней на внутреннюю сторону, создавая таким образом своего рода замок от вываливания блока, имея такой замок, блоки под арку выставлялись без скрепляющего раствора и держаться веками.
That dog did a great job of supervising. The project ran beautifully.!
Yes, indeed
Very brilliant and beautiful, but that ancient technological hydraulic lift was my favorite medieval tool that you used.
Amazing old school work! No wonder most bridges built this way are still around. Excellent Video!
Pity the ancients didn't have excavators and tipper trucks to gather raw materials.
This is not old school.
It's not old school, when they are using excavotors and electric pumps.
No, this is a shitty build, even with the modern equipment the old bridges were made and designed to a different level. The stones were carved to fit into each other. The stones for the arch were wedge-shaped and perfectly fitted together, designed so that the weight of the bridge makes it stronger.
👍
Really nice video. An excavator, a chainsaw and materials. No consultants, no drawings just experience. Think what aid could have done, don't change people but let them be proud of what they can do.
Yes, I did like the ancient technology with the modern tools and methods. Skilled craftsmen at work.
An amazing movie...Thanks for uploading...so much harmony in the working process and the surrounding impressions from helpful and skillful people, music, dog, chicken, geese, fruit-trees, clouds, eagles... I would like to see mankinds future and labour environment a bit like this...🙏
Installing a thumb on the equipment would help grasping stones.
There would already be 20 different inspectors in damn Russia. Who gave the construction permit, where did the equipment come from, where are the drawings and the bridge design, design loads, where are the documents (payment and receipts) for stone and sand, permission for logging and similar issues.
Greetings from Australia. What beautiful country and what a beautiful bridge. You have done a very good job. That is a good looking dog you have.
Bardzo dobra robota . Taki most postoi kolejne 100 lat . 👍👍👍
Romans used slaves instead of excavators. Slaves were probably cheaper when bought, but were a lot slower. These romans from South-East Asian however did a great job.
They still aren't using ancient technology, so the video title is fraud.
The music is ok but I'd much rather hear the ringig of chains , the excavators diesel engine, and all the other noises associated with this construction
It's like the soundtrack to Ken Burns' "The Civil War." Maybe over on their other channel!
Not played at high speed though.
Yeah, I heard the romans used a lot of excavators.
Yes, those roman excavators were probably slaves. Cheap!
🤣🤣🤣🤣
One famous slave they used was an Irish navvy called Kat O'Pillar
Portland cement, excavators and electric pumps: certified ANCIENT.
Romans had both pumps and excavators called "slaves." In China they call them "political prisoners."
Ganz tolles Video. Schöne Kombination von Bauarbeiten, Landschaft, Tieren und vor allem der Wachhund. solche brücken halten ewig!! Danke.
Love the music reminds me of North Carolina mountain music
You have to admire the old guy's fearlessness being at the bottom of a pit with heavy machinery and huge rocks above him. I have never seen a large mechanical scoop used like a shovel to mix concrete before.
I want one of those straw hard hats!
Thanks for including your dog in the video.

I'd use the excavator to pull the forms out. 😊
Hardworking talented people thank you for showing us your skills - from Australia
An antique excavator and an antique dump truck to help.
That is a lot of work. And worth it and something to be proud of!😀
This just proves how unbelievably good the ancients were. Because this......well, hats off for doing it.
Bravo Messieurs, c'est vous qui méritez la médaille d'or de la construction. 👍👍👍

Loved ancient technology being employed in a natural setting, loved all the shots of the geese, roosters, and of course the dog!
Good job!

Great…NOW you tell them.😂
Looks like we got a Master Stone Mason making comments here, one who obviously has worked on all the major Cathedrals throughout Europe.
In Asia, there are lyme mortar and stone structures still standing, that date from the early Ming Dynasty, about 900 years ago.
I ROMANI utilizzavano il calcestruzzo già 2500 anni fa .
E le loro costruzioni sono ancora in piedi

How to build a stone arch:
Step one: build a wooden arch.
I don't know if I'd be brave enough to stand underneath and pull the wood out.
It's all good. He has a straw hard hat on.
@@kevfit4333 😁👏😂👋🍺🍾😱
"Ancient technology". Like the traditional backhoe of my people.
I didn’t know the ancients had trackhoes
Dig'n those ancient dump trucks, excavators, pumps, and chainsaws.
didnt know thay had excavators then 🤣😂
awsome .....labour intensive industries need to be promoted that are ecological friendly as well.....
i love the classic neanderthal Waterpump
looks like the rupestre cave paintings
I didn't realize that a backhoe, trash pump, and dump truck were ancient technologies. Thank you for informing me.
Ironia não tem ética.......
Perhaps, I reckoned the bridge structural design was the ancient technology not the modern equipment being used in the construction.😂😮😅😊
Охринеть лопата для замешивания бетона в виде экскаватора!! Труд заслуживающий уважения!
Love the ancient jcb & truck!

Interesting trivia fact: The wooden temporary structures are called "falsework"
That guy who help the backhoe pushed the rock to its right place was so invaluably stronger.😅😂😢😊
Should have left the wooden construction pieces intact devided in de few seprate pieces to use them for other bridge projects or for multiple arches in one bridge.... It would save a lot on money later but kost a little extra in the beginning...
Ancient excavators. Yeah, I remember those.
Such an undertaking. May the bridge be there for many generations to come. Well done.
I give it 2000 years max,
Its so shitty that 20 years will be max
Underrated comedy!
Roman concrete would work well. 😊
We recently built a reinforced concrete arch and lined it with reclaimed bricks, all by hand.
Nice work.....
liked the dog, the music and esp the vid. like.
Greetings from France
The best is yet to come
🌅Respect and Love to all☀🌟🌌
How ancient is this excavator?
Old as it can be.😊
How talented the operator
Incredible! Which place?
Un puente que durará más de 3000 años wow..👏👏💪💪💪🖖🖖♥️
That guy in the purple,he's got two things now! Nice,new bridge,and a wicked sore back! 😀
"with ancient technology" LOL! Don't mind the EXCAVATOR!!! 🤣😂
First time I saw a digger in ancient tech, must have missed that when I was taught history, also ready mixed concrete, chainsaws etc, wonders of modern world tools.
Ah yes, ye olde JCB excavator - truly ancient technology 😆
عمل رائع إستمتعت المشاهدة تتستحقون الإعجاب
Nice brige. Save on the concrete and cement man! Enjoy the fruits of your labour
Золотые руки, дай Бог вам здоровья
A bridge for view hundrets of years !
Good job !

"with ancient technology"...and the first thing I see is a lorry :)
Build stone arch bridges and the first thing you see is a bulldozer
Great job
Using an excavator to dam the creek ... Ancient
To be fair, that excavator DID look pretty ancient 😂
Beautiful !
NOTHING to do with a bridge until 3 minutes into this "video"...
Lots of images of sky and weeds.😮
I think the Flintstones had one of those digging machines lol...🤣
Super travail
Бригадир в лимонной каске внимательно следил за работой.
Видео залипательное.
the dog was the best part
Как аккуратно экскаватор укладывает камни в кузов машины!
Oh Lord Jesus! Beatiful work

The way they beat in that 'keystone' with the mini digger bucket was pure bubba.
@@kevfit4333 I think the arch would work better with just an actual keystone, using no concrete.
Che si lamentino pure, intanto il Ponte é fatto, ma dubito che ne abbiano uno anche i criticoni;) Bravi ottimo lavoro.
Ancient excavator explains how they lifted such heavy stones, I always wondered
Excavator and a truck within the 1st 30 seconds…. very ancient
I don't remember backhoes or bucket trucks in ancient times.
Жалко римляни не побачать халтури
Shouldn't those walls be fortified with sheeting and/or trench box so it won't engulf the worker ..a hard hat might be a good idea as well!!! Hey, where's the erosion control materials as well???
Some good technique with what they have.
Красиво конечно, но Привезли камни и укладывать Заливая Цементным раствором, надежнее
had to have been hundreds of those bags of concrete
А ещё, привезли камни, измельчили в Щебень и сделав опалубку отлили Бетонные вручную 👍
Ah yes, the olde ancient t excavators, gas-powered pumps, haul trucks, etc.
I disagree with this type of video pretending to show a technic then never show the overall plan neither the construction step by step. It is just disjoined sequence without continuity. Seems like 5 different construction sites from 7 different places, for example sand and then green silt.
No one's interested in your whinging.

древние конечно же использовали экскаватор при постройке любых подобных сооружений..😁😁😁
"leaning on the everlasting arms" Am I wrong?
In a thousand years people will be walking over this bridge👍🏻🇺🇸
Fabulous!
Many people around, but only one under the bridge when disassembling the wooden structure...
Ah yes the ancient internal combustion hydraulic tracked excavator...its been around for thousands of years
