This film takes us on a journey to discover Rome, the greatest and most exceptional city of the ancient world. It unveils the secrets of Roman architecture and reveals the incredible talent of its builders. Also, the material used was exceptional as it contained volcanic ash. Lucky for us, we can still see so much of what the Romans built.
Ok, I get that, but wait for a moment. Let's back up to where they shipped the Columns from Alexandra to Roma. I see the ship carrying the column. Now my question is, how did they lift the column up out of the ship and onto the transport..? This part I just can't believe.
I'm 40 years old and I've been watching Roman building documentaries my whole life and you'd think I'd be sick of it by now but I'm not. It's amazing what they did and it always captures my imagination.
@@euAndrei maybe in school you didn't learn about the Renaissance that started in the 1400's in Italy, lifting Europe out of the Middle Ages, into the advancement of our beautiful Europe today. Granted it's being destroyed by NGO's today.
I have visited Rome as an architect and artist so many times I have lost count. But this astonishing documentary made me see it as if for the first time. Brilliant - Thank you
When it comes to Roman history I just love the way they lived... the lavish lifestyle.... I mean I was literally shocked to see a guest dining area which rotates what great technology during the ancient times... the documentary is very informative.. if u find still more interesting about Rome please upload... love from India 😊😊
SO SO MANY beautiful projects they Roman's built, that Agrippa's temple with a dome inside, the Circus Maximus race circuit, the temples, the villa's, The bath room buildings and the Amphitheater in the Colosseum, wow just wow, draw dropping
I toured Rome in 2005…… beautiful place and full of ancient ruins…… The Roman coliseum was worth the trip if I didn’t see anything else….. but there is so much history to take in and even more to see.
You're fortunate to have been able to go and see. Actually putting your hands on some of the ancient historical structures must have been indescribable. When I was young I hoped that someday I would have the means and opportunity to travel to Europe and walk inside the colosseum. It never panned out, but we're also fortunate to have the internet in our time and can take virtual tours as well as have any and all known information about ancient Rome at our fingertips... So I'm grateful for that at least. 😉
I always wanted to visit Germany and England. I daydreamed about backpacking across Europe someday. Of course now at my age that's out of the question. Not to mention the current socio-political climate in certain parts of the European continent that is worth mentioning but not getting into of course. I'm just sayin, it's a daydream that I can basically scratch off my bucket list.
@@CR7GOATofFootball 5 I'm 53. I can still walk, run, crawl, even climb trees if need be. It's not my age... It's the fact that my financial abilities have reached its zenith. I would be lucky to be able to visit Panama City Beach for a weekend, and I'm only one state away.
My husband and I just got back from visiting Rome and Athens 2 days ago ! It’s so surreal - there are no words to describe its magnificence ! And considering most of the forum, pillars etc were very high, completely in marble and built on top of the hills, how did they even conceptualize it. They are incredibly stunning to be standing till today ! 👍
There is no end of the fascination in Ancient Roman engineering. Rome was not only a cradle of western civilization, but also a cradle of modern engineering.
The original structure was built under the direction of Marcus Agrippa, in Augustus' time. The present building was erected in Hadrian's reign, over a century later. The original, and possibly an early revision were destroyed in a fire in Domitian's reign. The Hadrianic temple was built on the foundations of the earlier buildings. How did they fit together?
3rd to like! Im very suprised that this absolutely astonishing documentary has only 3 likes. People don't appreciate history anymore it seems. But with that being said, this channel has to have one of the best documentaries on this subject that I could find. Well done my friend
I find Roman architecture to be very beautiful. Many of my fellow Americans have as well, which is why we copy it so widely, for everything from local banks and libraries to the halls of Congress.
Romans copied the Greeks first. What you see in the USA could be a mixture of both. The columns that this Constuction is known for it inherently Greek while the dome style were very Roman even though the Romans also included Greek styled columns in such construction. It is timeless so building in this style is always going to look good while some of the "modern" buildings now will appear awfully dated in the future. The glass abominations for the 80's comes to mind.
@@Bonzi_Buddyomg yeah we know that Greeks started it and Rome added their own unique additions . That is why it’s called Greco-Roman classical architecture
the newest trend in skyscraper is to be able to use water that hits the structure so it has to draw and lift less water from water systems but the Romans were doing this in ancient times.
I wonder how we would live today in Europe, probably the world if the Roman Empire never had fallen. I think we would live in a civilisation which was much more evolved. Love how this video is made with all the beautiful facts about the Roman Empire! It has such a massive influence on the world we live in today
Less technologically advanced, probably. The Roman Empire was pretty conservative with technological advancement as compared to the Middle Ages which followed. Indeed, much of the knowledge lost from the Ancient times to the Modern can be blamed on the Rapid Depopulation of the Crisis of the Second Century and the late empire burning books for heresy.
It’s incredible how much human biology has regressed from those times physically. Unfortunately, functional adaptivity has become scarce these days. Imagine how much less depression, mental and economic, would have existed back then without chemical runoff polluting the entire global ecosystem….
Thank you! What a wonderful presentation! I especially liked your coverage of the Coliseum! That one picture of the lion entering the arena on the ramp, and your description of ENTIRE mountains rising up "out of no where", made me feel like I was right there!! I too, just like Ancient Romans, felt my blood pressure rise, along with great expectations of what I was going to see in the Coliseum!! You were the first, to make Ancient Rome come alive for me! I was THERE, and living the EXPERIENCE!!
It would be nice to see a documentary on the economy of Rome. What made the city function? I think a lot of people didn't have jobs and just relied on a monthly allowance (food and cash) from the government. The gov't relied on conquest to gain revenue and food sources (like Egypt). Anyhow, I've watched a lot of Rome related documentaries but have yet to see one that covers how the economy made things function from the activities of the ordinary citizen to the merchants, craftsperson, politicians, soldier and all strata of society.
Love this French film of the visual reconstruction of these ancient sites. Feel I traveled back in time. Saw Alexandria film yesterday.. amazing. Thank you
Absolutely love the animations and recreations! --- Best use of CGI for illustration and education, rather than mere entertainment, absent any of the former. --- But combined, educational-illustration becomes most-interesting and enlightening entertainment!
Before Alexander the Great or the Roman Empire, the Persian Empire existed as one of the most powerful and complex empires of the ancient world.May 19, 2022
When you see it in person you will shake your head and say there is no way the Pantheon was constructed 2000 years ago. It had to be erected sometime after the 1920's because construction on the Empire State Building began in 1930. It just doesn't seem possible with ancient tools that a structure such as this could have been built.
Amazing yes, now look at your modern builds that are going up around you and those built within your life time, do you see the truth staring you in the face? Glass and steel blandness rising higher and higher, big deal, it means nothing if the streets below are cluttered unorganised and falling apart.
Excellent! I've traveled...Taiwan, Japan, all of Europe--Netherlands, Germany, Switzerland, Italy, France, and Russia. As an Art student I loved visiting all museums in these countries and seeing the architecture they have created. Again excellent! I loved standing on the inside and outside of the Pantheon.
Thank you, It was literally at the one second point, that I saw The Forum from this unique visual perspective. NOW, I can better comprehend the importance of The Forum. Not only was it possible to better see the main road through The Forum, but you realize that pretty much every "above" it is modern day block Italian construction. So The Forum sort of fills in a valley of Ancient Roman architecture (dismantled as it may be) from the modern city of Rome today. Too bad that this is not the overall encompassing view that you receive as a tourist on the ground.
I would've been amazed and blown away if I time travel back during the pinnacle of Roman civilization, but I would also be overwhelmed with the smell of people and the streets.
Just remember that since Egyptian and Chinese civilization are 1000's of years older, the architectural designs and/or ideas began with them and not Rome. Too often too many have this insane notion that Europe is society's birthplace when it's not. It made contributions but that's it.
That spinning open room with a balcony with a 360 degree view, again wow, these graphics are so LIFE LIKE, PS5 Needs a open world game with these graphic's please please
Paldies, This was a very interesting story for me to hear, I've discovered that my father's grandfather was included in the deportees from 14 June 1941, it's important to educate ourselves about our families our history to really understand who we are and the people we came from, Thank you for allowing me to learn and connect to my family story through this video.

@Liberty Garage Septimius Severus?

Me too
❤❤🎉
I agree. I am addicted to ancient Roman history
As they say…..”All Roads Lead To Rome.” The world’s capital. Absolutely magnificent. Completely breathtaking. The Italians are something incredible.
The Romans... Italians is a bit broad
@@sterlingcampbell2116 The Romans are an original Italic tribe. They’re as Italian as it gets. Same goes for the other original Italic tribes.
@@sterlingcampbell2116 Italy is the heart and soul of the Roman Empire. The Romans were an Italic tribe that did absorb other tribes and populations.
@@euAndrei The Renaissance and the Baroque and Neo-Classicism all begun in Italy with all of the art, architecture, and sculptures.

It's crazy how even back then the Romans were using an Airbus as a measurement
“and wieghs as much as an A320 Airbus” 💀
silly comparison to use as planes a pretty light for their volume.
Right? When they could've just Googled it. No wonder their empire fell. 🙄
😂😂
Trying to convert cubits into airbus’s is hard
I have visited Rome as an architect and artist so many times I have lost count. But this astonishing documentary made me see it as if for the first time. Brilliant - Thank you
I can relate.
I finally moved there in the mid nineties and every moment was a revelation! Amo Roma!
Rome is one of my favourite ancient cities.... now I'm waiting on that Ancient Egypt documentary too.
Proposed to my wife in Rome this summer 2022. ❤️ a dream come true to come to Rome.
Congratulations to the both of you!👍
May your commitment last like Rome
Congrats
This city is truly majestic. It was a pleasure to visit Rome and see history.
Lucky!
As oppose to those who paid for its buildings , being raped by Rome
That’s the exact word I use to describe Rome to people…….Majestic 🤌🏾

i have never seen or heard of the roof on the colosseum. that is so freaking cool
Thanks for this presentation. I visited Rome in November this year and visited all the sites presented here. Amazing experience. Loved it!
I cannot wait. Visiting this magnificent country in less than 4 weeks from now. Watching this documentary put me in awe already.
Went to Rome this past summer. It simply is mesmerizing.
❤❤The Romans are my favorite people from ancient times. I'm awestruck at their skills in construction and engineering.

You're fortunate to have been able to go and see. Actually putting your hands on some of the ancient historical structures must have been indescribable.

That's it. I have to visit this city before I die.
As someone from a country with more than 5000 years history, i still find it fascinating, i will visit Roma one day
Damn. Now THIS is a proper documentary on Ancient Rome. I’ve been searching for something and am so glad I came across this channel. Subscribed!
There is no end of the fascination in Ancient Roman engineering. Rome was not only a cradle of western civilization, but also a cradle of modern engineering.
man I'm loving these new AR recreations of ancient cities 😳🤯🤩🥰😎👍
SECOND TO LIKE! ☺ your documentaries playlist is astounding! THANK YOU! 🙏
Imagine being able to walk the streets of Rome in its prime!
Try Pompeii for a similar experience!
This is legendary.
Please make more videos on ancient architecture. Its too interesting🙂

The Rome episode is still unlisted hence the low number of likes. Official release is next week. But thank you and so glad you love the series too!
The algorithm to busy trynna bury Andrew Tate to be bothered to push anything else
Now that's what you called hard work not like most people today who complain when they get tired after 20 min and complain
Yes don’t they especially the younger ones done want to work but still want top money .. god help the future
Romans really has the advantage in economy and architecture that time.
I find Roman architecture to be very beautiful. Many of my fellow Americans have as well, which is why we copy it so widely, for everything from local banks and libraries to the halls of Congress.
Minus the colour
That is not why the architecture has been copied in the United States.

Amazing Rome Love from India ❤,my dreams for visiting one day in future,
That was great. Very clearly presented. Was glad that you described the pressure, temperature and RPM changes.
the newest trend in skyscraper is to be able to use water that hits the structure so it has to draw and lift less water from water systems but the Romans were doing this in ancient times.
YESS! Rome got my vote, so I'm very exited.

Love how this video is made with all the beautiful facts about the Roman Empire! It has such a massive influence on the world we live in today
At some point it would have collapsed the main reason the empire was way too big

Indeed, much of the knowledge lost from the Ancient times to the Modern can be blamed on the Rapid Depopulation of the Crisis of the Second Century and the late empire burning books for heresy.
Having been to the Rome i can say its worth a visit you can see and feel the history its an extraordinary world
Fantastic documentary!
So informative. The best I’ve seen - and I watch everything Roman! Thank you!
One of the best documentary's of Rome , very professional
I would love to go to Rome,
Great Video !!!.
Odd that they didn't mention the bronze doors of the Parthenon. They are a technological marvel in themselves.
Did you mean the Pantheon?
Pantheon !
The world is reàlly beautiful I tell you. Love what I seen in this video. Grand history revealed. Want to see in person, more than likely I will.
ROME The Eternal City!
It’s incredible how much human biology has regressed from those times physically. Unfortunately, functional adaptivity has become scarce these days. Imagine how much less depression, mental and economic, would have existed back then without chemical runoff polluting the entire global ecosystem….

Mary Beards meet the Roman's touches on this aspects.
Love this French film of the visual reconstruction of these ancient sites. Feel I traveled back in time. Saw Alexandria film yesterday.. amazing. Thank you
Ancient architecture is far more impressive than anything modern. Lasts much longer too.
No doubt!
Very good documentary.
Italy should recreate those gladiator fights, that would be awesome!
not for the gladiators! Besides, we got movies
MMA is modern Galdiator fights.
3000 years later we will become just Like Rome. People will wonder how on earth did we Built sky scraper Buildings, Condoms, Smart phones, and more 😂
Let's mention that the Architect of this masterpiece was a GREEK 🇬🇷
Great documentary, although Pantheon as it stands isn't over two thousand years old. It was rebuilt during Hadrians reign c126 AD
actually we've changed what year it is since then, i think its supposed to be 1781 or some odd number.
Absolutely love the animations and recreations! ---
Best use of CGI for illustration and education,
rather than mere entertainment, absent any of

I agree! Love this one especially
Simply marvelous
Amazing video!!!! Learned so much before my trip to an extraordinary Rome!
That was a great video
Very intresting how they at that point of time had the capability to engineer and construct these magnificent buildings and structures.
Amazing yes, now look at your modern builds that are going up around you and those built within your life time, do you see the truth staring you in the face? Glass and steel blandness rising higher and higher, big deal, it means nothing if the streets below are cluttered unorganised and falling apart.
Crazy Roman concrete can outlast modern concrete 😂

I would not consider any of the activities at the coliseum as a "grand spectacle." It was barbaric and horrific! Fascinating documentary, nonetheless.
Rita Volpe, Superintendent of the cultural heritage of Rome (interviewed in the program): what a job that must be!
Phenomenal engineering feat indeed
Very informative…
A love watching stuff about history it's a ever seen to do now is watch all thus
Nice movie, lovely. Though the low tune music makes me head-ache.
I suppose they can please all of the people all of the time
Me just come back from Rome. Amazing city
Great doc thanks
Wonderful
Also, initially, the columns were supposed to be even higher. What happened to them?
Fascinating. On your ancient maps and models, what is that very large almost rectangular pool of water right in the middle of Trastevere?
Unbelievable but true. A tourist in Rome with a guide...many times, but never taken to see the Pantheon😊
Rings of chains were cast into the base of the dome to prevent spreading. This is a major omission in this film.
Amazing what you can do with a computer.
Imagine what the Romans could have done with one. 🤠
They would’ve been to Mars years ago and back.
