That water collection and waste management system was genius.

I can't believe that Venice designed so many things that are still around today from scratch; it's truly a marvel of engineering, even still today.

It's also important to note that the Venetians were *masters* of Engineering when it came to shipbuilding as well. Their "Arsenal" was capable of producing a warship every day, and was one of the first places to use standardized parts- being one of the largest scale pre-industrial construction sites

I was in venice twice, and it feels like walking on, not in, a museum. As soon as you leave the main shopping street, you get into tiny streets, tiny spaces, tiny places, find hidden restaurants and beautiful places. It feels old and smells old, but in a wild kind of way. It's an experience for sure. You can't possibly see all of it in a few days. So many hidden corners, so many islands. Very much to explore :)

I still think it's incredible that most of the original logs from 452 are still there holding up after over 1000 years

This is the first time why the existence of Venice has been explained to me in a way I understand. Thank you. It's so incredible!

I visited Venice as a 15 year old and I will always tell people that it is the most beautiful city I have ever visited. You can literally sit down in any part of the city and just stare all day (and it'll be a day well spent) because you are too afraid that you will forget the beauty of the view if you stop looking.

I never gave Venice much thought until now. It's truly impressive to see what had to be done to make it livable. The ingenuity of the builders is amazing. Ty for sharing this.

I think it is crazy that from a small ground of people cowering from the Huns, Venice turned into a powerhouse that rivaled even the most powerful medieval/renaissance empires!

They built a city over 1500 years ago on literal mud, and it's still better designed and built than a lot of cities here in North America

The way Venice people solved their problems without creating any side effects is amazing. I liked the most their solution to get clean water. Thank you for the fascinating explanation and well-detailed graphics.

I am originally from the surrounding area of Venice, but no one has ever explained those concepts in this straight way before. Truly an engineered city, love the scalability.

What do you all think of Venice? It's definitely my favorite city 🙌 Shoutout to Displate for making this vid possible, check out their new Textra posters here: https://displate.com/primalspace

Living in Venice has truly been an experience that is way beyond any other city. It’s crazy how every corner I turn, even after 6 years of living there, there is history and culture to explore.

VENICE: I'm a curious & well educated 48 year old guy, and FOR YEARS I've wondered how those heavy stone buildings were built on that marsh. And yes... how they dealt with their waste. Finally an explanation. I think the city should be classified as one of the wonders of the world! Brilliant give away, and promotion by the way. Maybe the 3rd channel I've ever subscribed to.

Hi, I'm Italian and I live near Venice. This video is beautiful and congratulations for the 3D graphics which make you understand very well what Venice is.

The fact that the same logs have been holding the city up for over a 1000 years is incredible. Like, i would've thought that they would've been gradually replaced with more modern materials. But, i guess you can't beat the classics. I actually had the privilege of visiting Venice a couple years ago, it is a beautiful city. I can't recommend it enough for tourists.

From a small band of people fearing the Huns to an empire-challenging powerhouse – Venice's story is incredible!

It’s crazy how creative people can get when there’s a need for it, as seen in this video.

Best YT short documentary I've watched in ages. I don't remember the last time I've been this captivated.
