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...🙏
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.
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.
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.
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!
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
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.
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 ...

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.
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...
Great film, you and the crew did a great job. The bridge is wonderful. Don't pay attention to the stupid comments of pseudo-experts who are sitting on the sofa and know
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???
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.

Yes, I did like the ancient technology with the modern tools and methods. Skilled craftsmen at work.
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.
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 . 👍👍👍

They still aren't using ancient technology, so the video title is fraud.
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."
Love the music reminds me of North Carolina mountain music
Ganz tolles Video. Schöne Kombination von Bauarbeiten, Landschaft, Tieren und vor allem der Wachhund. solche brücken halten ewig!! Danke.
Hardworking talented people thank you for showing us your skills - from Australia
Installing a thumb on the equipment would help grasping stones.
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.
That is a lot of work. And worth it and something to be proud of!😀
Bravo Messieurs, c'est vous qui méritez la médaille d'or de la construction. 👍👍👍

I'd use the excavator to pull the forms out. 😊

It's like the soundtrack to Ken Burns' "The Civil War." Maybe over on their other channel!
Not played at high speed though.
I want one of those straw hard hats!

Incredible! Which place?
Thanks for including your dog in the video.
This just proves how unbelievably good the ancients were. Because this......well, hats off for doing it.

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

awsome .....labour intensive industries need to be promoted that are ecological friendly as well.....
Where was this filmed?
Un puente que durará más de 3000 años wow..👏👏💪💪💪🖖🖖♥️
An antique excavator and an antique dump truck to help.
How ancient is this excavator?
Old as it can be.😊
How talented the operator

Greetings from France
The best is yet to come
🌅Respect and Love to all☀🌟🌌
i love the classic neanderthal Waterpump
looks like the rupestre cave paintings
Love the ancient jcb & truck!
Браво за мост за вредну браћу Кинезе!
A bridge for view hundrets of years !
Good job !
Good job!
"Ancient technology". Like the traditional backhoe of my people.
How to build a stone arch:
Step one: build a wooden arch.
didnt know thay had excavators then 🤣😂
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!
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!
I didn’t know the ancients had trackhoes
Золотые руки, дай Бог вам здоровья
That guy who help the backhoe pushed the rock to its right place was so invaluably stronger.😅😂😢😊
Roman concrete would work well. 😊
Oh Lord Jesus! Beatiful work
liked the dog, the music and esp the vid. like.
Nice brige. Save on the concrete and cement man! Enjoy the fruits of your labour
Ancient excavators. Yeah, I remember those.
I absolutely love green chili so I'm totally gonna make this!
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.

Dig'n those ancient dump trucks, excavators, pumps, and chainsaws.
is an excavator or generator with a pump an ancient technology?
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 😁👏😂👋🍺🍾😱
Che si lamentino pure, intanto il Ponte é fatto, ma dubito che ne abbiano uno anche i criticoni;) Bravi ottimo lavoro.
That guy in the purple,he's got two things now! Nice,new bridge,and a wicked sore back! 😀
Interesting trivia fact: The wooden temporary structures are called "falsework"
Ah yes, ye olde JCB excavator - truly ancient technology 😆
Some good technique with what they have.
عمل رائع إستمتعت المشاهدة تتستحقون الإعجاب
Nice work.....
Beautiful !

How are the comments stupid? The title clearly says using ancient technology. There was not one bit of ancient technology used in the entire video.
Как аккуратно экскаватор укладывает камни в кузов машины!
the dog was the best part
Mon dieu, mon dieu... comme c'est extraordinaire....... j'ai fzit ça au mons une fois par moi toute mavie😂
I think the Flintstones had one of those digging machines lol...🤣
We recently built a reinforced concrete arch and lined it with reclaimed bricks, all by hand.
1000 лет простоит!!!!
Using an excavator to dam the creek ... Ancient
To be fair, that excavator DID look pretty ancient 😂
"with ancient technology"...and the first thing I see is a lorry :)
In a thousand years people will be walking over this bridge👍🏻🇺🇸
Super travail
Excavator and a truck within the 1st 30 seconds…. very ancient
Great job
Бригадир в лимонной каске внимательно следил за работой.
Видео залипательное.
А ещё, привезли камни, измельчили в Щебень и сделав опалубку отлили Бетонные вручную 👍
Around 14:30 they play Twisted Sister - Come on Feel the Noise! Girls Rock your Boys! ... Just better on the mandolins

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.
NOTHING to do with a bridge until 3 minutes into this "video"...
Lots of images of sky and weeds.😮
Красиво конечно, но Привезли камни и укладывать Заливая Цементным раствором, надежнее
had to have been hundreds of those bags of concrete
древние конечно же использовали экскаватор при постройке любых подобных сооружений..😁😁😁
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???
Ancient excavator explains how they lifted such heavy stones, I always wondered
Watch how he uses the good old Chinese marker pen. ❤
chainsaw and a digger- ancient technology because now we have better things.
Love the Chinese background music.
more like American Blue Grass but slowdown????
Ah yes, the olde ancient t excavators, gas-powered pumps, haul trucks, etc.
"with ancient technology" LOL! Don't mind the EXCAVATOR!!! 🤣😂
