Megastructures - Modern Architectural Marvels: • Massive Engineering: M...
How did engineers long ago organize armies of machines and men to create the great castles of the world. How did they cut, assemble, and raise the giant stoneworks that made up these colossal fortifications? This extraordinary series explores the architectural visions behind the building of the iconic Medieval Castles of Europe and unearths the human stories of those who labored to construct them.

The fact that this two hour documentary is free blows my mind. This is so much better than anything on television
This use to be on television. Probably history channel 20 years ago.
This is... quite the comment.
It's a 2015 documentary produced by magellan tv
@@ugosmith7529 Thanks for spoiling the party :(
@@thatssomefinexxx7995 I'm sorry, come to my castle and stand right here, next to the "party" hole so I can apologize
I learned more about English and French history by watch this video about castles then any other video that was supposed to tell me about that historical timeline!🤷
Now I understand why Richard never returned to England. Apart from defending his birthright through Eleanor, it was that home that he built. I wouldn't want to leave it either. I wish it was restored too. What a beauty she would have been. ❤
Anyone leaving England never wants to return anyway. No freedoms, no rights, bad oral hygiene, and a horrid government.
Love the meteor filmed accidentally at 1:12:18 (top right corner above knights shoulder)
Great spotting.
It is such powers of observation that illuminates the lesser corners of You Tube land. :-)
PS. No surprise, I try to do likewise.
That was a piece of space junk
Wasn't a meteor, it was a reflection of the glint of steel on the camera lens.
@@johnwymer1215 maybe a shooting star?
The labor that went into these architectural masterpieces is astonishing!!
All those beautiful French Norman Castle in England. It's wonderful engineering Great work
it's also a reminder of when and where we 'imported' abuse as a 'normal' part of our lives..
WOW ! Built in 2 Years ! They couldn't even renovate a Subway station here in Montreal in 2 years lately ! LOL
@@ConontheBinarianIsn’t it crazy, your one car does more damage to a road then a horse and buggy would in a century, now do the math. 100-1000 cars, rain, snow, ice whatever, and then still driving and cleaning in the winters. It’s just common sense, if we used horses and buggies and didn’t have 100,000kg trucks on the roads our road infrastructure would be like it was made yesterday 😂
Yeah they are lying, of course;
@@resqfreedom9308 Lot of labor and weekends were not a thing. The craftsmen of those times had perfected their craft that has been passed down in their family for centuries. It would be the only profession they would know since a young age. They were extremely talented and efficient. Never underestimate the skill of people of the past. Modern mechanization merely replaced laborers and had 1 worker do far more jobs, often with little training. There was no such thing as turnover. If you were born into the family of carpenters, then a carpenter you would be until you die or your carpenter children could support you in old age, disabling injury or dismemberment.
In many ways the women were even more talented. They would have to know skills such as candle making, tailoring, simple pottery, basic carpentry and furniture making, gardening, to raising and butchering farm animals as well as cooking. Only the wealthy could afford to buy everything they needed from craftsmen. A typical family had to be self-sufficient. As for these large castle projects, the workers would bring their families with them. They absolutely relied on them. Where there was a large construction project, would've been a large village of its workers and families.
How many earthquakes have the roman aqueducts withstood and they are still standing?
@@yt_alphagaming7940 One large truck does the same damage as 20,000 cars. We should use trains again to deliver goods.
I very much enjoyed this program, the history of the works that went into the building of each is fascinating as well as showing the restored interiors of the rooms as they once would have been for comparison purposes with the ruins is a grand thing
I've been a stone Mason's assistant/labourer for 10yrs and I can't imagine being a common labourer back then doing a project like that
I love stone so much more than stainless steel. Our new generations will be living in worlds of stainless steel - how can they have any hope?
thank you so very much.
Fantastic in any era
the way they built those castles with such straight walls and edges is bananas stacking odd shaped bits and chunks of brick and stone together perfectly rather than working with more uniform blocks
1:04:48 and sometimes they DO work with more uniform blocks like on the pillars, and the capstones of the arches, but the walls are a hobbled together mess it's a miracle they are straight. they must have used miracle mortar too! they've lasted this long!
1:05:53 and they couldn't come close to replicating the craftsmanship when they tried to repair the remaining uniform blocks HMMMMMM
1:15:25 this castle that use to belong to the Cathars/Tartarians
1:17:35 use of mixed brick and stone design
1:30:55 1/2 brick 1/2 stone block upper left corner
2:08:58 the strange deformed arch way on the bottom right, fascinating
Amazing documentary
Tnx, I enjoyed this video.
Am building a castle in empyrion galactic survival ( a space sandbox survival game ) and I have watched this over and over to get ideas
amazing documentary✅
For the fans of this episode, if you also like computer games, check out Stronghold and especially Stronghold 2. It's basically playing this documentary.
Why are we so fascinated by castles?? Because nothing says f^ck of like a castle.
shout out to the camera man in the middle ages
Castle's are like old "home alone" defence
If they really "change hands a dozen times per century" they sound a little useless.
CASTLES is the plural.
You did a thorough job of explaining WHY the castles were necessary and WHO occupied them. You did a miserable job of showing HOW a castle was built in the Middle Ages for all of 3 minutes (which may even include the reruns of the same scene).
They don't know! Or they are a part of the cover up of the giants!
I have seen this footage before in a castle documentary that was intended to discuss "WHY the castles were necessary and WHO occupied them", that was not intended to focus on engineering. I can't tell if the footage has been redubbed, which would be totally possible, to give it a veneer of project management. It might possibly be the very same documentary but retitled. You'll want to check out the documentary on the French castle Geudelon. It has on-site experts in design, engineering and construction of a 12th century castle.
Because they don't know! The only people who know ain't going to tell anyone anything! It definitely wasn't built with horse and buggy and no power tools! Everything we have been taught is a LIE!!
Tregrug Castle, shown at 1:45:35, can be found on "Time Team" Series 17, episode 8... pause and watch the dig, or finish this documentary than watch the dig... I wonder how many other castles "Time Team" dug for archeology that made this documentary?
Good
Edward 1, Longshanks was my 19th great-grandfather. Edward II was the 18th great-grandfather.
RESEARCH STAR-FORTS OF TARTARIA!
I HAVE THE RIGHT TO BE KING NOW! GOD HAS CHOSEN ME AND I EXCEPTED!
😂
I just can't get over the kings wearing the Burger King crown in this series🤣
Very good documentary otherwise 👍
The title of the video should be "the History of castles in the Middle Ages England." There are hardly any material about the construction of the castles in the video.
Engineering on channel like this in videos like this is welcome.
Globe Tech Officially anyway.
Castles don’t exist outside of UK and France.
Possibly.@@peppertrout
where can i get the dvd of this
A video about Cosels

👍👍👍👍
Very interesting documentary. So Harlech Castle was near the ocean back then, and landlocked now. So sea level was higher back then. No gasoline cars back then.
You missed the part where they said they "reclaimed" land from the sea with landfill.
@@gideonbutlerOh ok, although, they didn't say anything about reclaimed land at around 1:20:57
The sea level hasn't changed.
Rivers dump silt, and pdple DELIBERATELY fill in land. Ask the Dutch.
I like fortress more than castle home
I had no idea the norman prince bishop corbet was black!
Using music from Ultimate General Civil War I see.
Brilliant. Pity there's no list re the music would like know who dose the music. Anyone out there know thanks. Oh and thanks for the video rely enjoyed it.
Don't know what FAB boy is saying but yes of course they had engineers and architects that calculated loads and produced specifications for these structures ... Not like the pyramids that had aliens to that.

Channel is called free documentary so you're smugly being told to expect ads to be shoved down your throat every 10 seconds and don't you dare expect otherwise cus it's free.
the insistent awful brass music is so distracting that I can't watch beyond 20 minutes
3:48
POOR DRACO
I 💕 🏰 Europe
Don't watch this to learn how to build a castle, it's more about why they were built to protect and hoard stolen wealth.
Wow...I did not know there was ever a black guy who was archbishop of canterbury??? The things you learn from cheap, politically correct BBC documentaries practicing inclusivity
So much damn theatrics and droning on about completely unrelated bs. I WANT TO SEE HOW THEY WERE BUILT.

@2:16:00 This is the other side of the coin that Karl Marx would've witnessed. The other being the squaller of the workers; maimed and disfigured by industrial machines, heavy metals and chemicals. While I am very much anti-Communism, it's important to understand the context of his work and the importance for a state to provide for a level of opportunity, decent living conditions for its people, and to represent its people. Otherwise, events such as the Bolshevik revolution will repeat itself.
It's Important for the state not to be in bed with the corporations. The state should protect individual rights over anything else
Built with horse, buggy, pic, shovel and dirt roads? Lol!
Governments should restore all of the derelict castles the cost of which would be a small proportion of their annual income
We should make laws to prevent planned obsolescence, and forbid destruction and waste so we CAN restore castles and bridges and other ancient infrastructure to keep our grasp on our history and culture and likewise we should help rebuild that which we have destroyed abroad.
The middle ages wrre not really in the middle
dark ages was a much more appropriate name considering how much history was lost and how many people died during this time. it just screams "dark" not "middle" lol
Waiting patiently to hear my name
To much music
HA
It must be really hard to tell this story with your pants on fire 🔥🔥
Could you elaborate please???
@@Kallivakgamesit's an old saying "Liar,liar pants on fire"
@@winnerscreed6767 yes I understand the refrence... my inquiry was in search of understanding what lead this person to leave this reply.
@@Kallivakgames , true, people say the strangest things in the comments section..
@@Kallivakgamesusually when someone makes this comment about someone saying something with burning pants, they are referring to the person that the comment is directed towards is lying about something! I know you have to read and re-read this answer but I'm hoping that I was simple enough that you can understand what I said so take your time. If you don't understand now, then I am unable to help you any further. I'm not a special education teacher nor do I claim to be but hopefully you can figure it out or maybe ask the nurse at the front desk at the mental health facility where you reside!

this is when Rome, Greece and the rest of eurpope discovered the sri lanka and india.. They were wealthiest ,sofisticated and technologically advanced kindomss in the world.
For the next few hundred years europe sailed there to purchased spices , gems, and silk clothing and learned from them.
Then after befriening they helped develop.
Then you betrayed them stole all there technology, medicine, knowledge, gold and gems, throns and destroyed and syole , taking credit for there wealth and knowledge .
In your dreams!
Funny how the challenges of project management then were exactly the same as now whether it be a castle or software.
Yes:
Invention, projection, construction, technology, production and management principles are the same no matter when.
Equipment, adjustments, tools, treated parts, materials, energy providers, qualifications and products appearance and functions may be different though.
😂😂😂
funny
I don't think that William of Corbeil, archbishop of Canterbury, was a black guy! I miss the politically incorrect but factually correct documentaries so much!
RT: I don't neex750 castles, estates or houses. But I call them bases . I'm going to tour the commonwealth of nations... Soon . Please I'm looking for brilliant, people with perfect act, or sat scores .. no little job. Only little people doing it... 8 figures.. travel ... But must put life on line for king and emperor ( me) thanks for reading this
old? I'm about to fall asleep
To loud
repeat repeat repetitive MUCH .... NTM as IS all castles were built in Britain = total BS
Way too silly
Couldn't they get somebody to speak English.not too difficult these days
The casting is ridiculous.
Barack had a team in place, trump dismantled it.
Huh?
Some greedy mofos. Hella commercials. Boooooooooo
So I'm the real , legal , chosen by GOD to be KING of KINGS steven lewis king from America. Like , I'M STILL HERE!
Like! Like!
(Do kings speak as children?)
Like, like, like!!!🎉😂🎉😂😂🎉
Stop saying 'BARBICAN'!

Make me
If you really believe castles were built during the middle ages you need some mental health care. These were around long before then.
Funny the person making a statement like that talking about people needed mental Healthcare. The amount of documentation of the construction of castles is plentiful. Try cracking an actual book and not just get your information from a RUclips video about the retardtarians.
Wtf?
... or perhaps, they are focused on those castles built within the middle ages? but you do you
I suppose that depends on your definition of middle ages, there, doesn't it? For sure, castles as we know them didn't exist in Britain until the mid 10 hundreds, at the earliest. Castles of one form or another begin showing up as early as 800 in France and a few other places on the continent. The east had some very castle like buildings much earlier, but they were also very NOT like the castles we know and love, either.
Fact of the matter is they have found evidence to show that they were perfected in the middle ages and have found artifacts that prove it. So if you want to be ignorant and ignore scientific facts that have been verified time and time again then that's your choice but I highly suggest you do your research before spouting off your pseudo facts. Archeological evidence as well as documentation such as Mason marks that can be coralated with records from the time more then prove the time lines of these amazing buildings.
This is a waste of time and money! Humanity is in trouble yet people spend time on something as useless as this.
Some of the smaller shoddy castles were built in medieval times, there is no possibility that the grand castles were built by peasants with horse and wagon. This is his story not ours, too many lies and impossibilities in the story of our past.
Don't like it
They asked them to leave the hospital you saw on the video Hamas soldiers walking around that means that everyone new Hamas was walking around in the hospital so tha means the dr we’re protecting Hamas so it was all lies what the dr & everyone was saying
