This was such a unique and cool way to film this. So many people pollute videos like this with commentary, music or lengthy intros. I wish I could tour the world with videos shot just like this. Thanks for the upload.
Thank you very much for praising my video in the way you did. You are obviously someone with an acute sense of what a good video should entail. Unfortunately there are too many who view a video primarily as a means of showcasing themselves.
Your other vids on European Mummies in China and Buddha art discovery. There is Buddha art with people having red hair too correct? I was wondering how the Romans calculated a curvature of a global earth if they did not know the size of earth. Also, Roman’s thought the earth was flat. So how could they build aqueducts for many miles with Precision through mountains if earth was not flat? Short distances I can understand, but not many miles of slight gradient down.
@@delta7155 Naaaaaa, they claimed the site..Just like sooo many cultures did around the world.. I'm not a sheep, do you want to be one? ASK THEM IF THEY CAN REPEAT THIS WORK TODAY.Do it.Ask them, they're gonna say this tech is obsolete and bla bla bla....Just like the f.... Pyramids in ''Giza''
The old town of Segovia is a beautiful,tranquil plsce. There sre msny. Interesting churches and buildings to see, winding picturesque streets to stroll along,and the locals sre so welc oming and friendly 5:27
Great example of ancient geopolymer polygonal masonry. Not sure if it is roman or even older than the romans, but it certainly is ancient geopolymer tech. Modern historians have attributed pretty much every structure that has arches, vaults and domes to the Roman empire even though they could be from a previous cycle of humans. Great footage. TY for posting!
I was there in person actually right there looking at this amazing aquaduct. The story going around in the entire city when people ask how did they build that..everyone says it was built by the Devil. From looking at it, that is totally believable. For real...no joke.
What an incredible empire it must of been , there must of been a feeling of never ending permanence to build structures like this at that time and you can see the same sort of attitude to construction from the British in the Victorian era world wide in the Empire at the time .
Thanks for posting this - it is an absolutely amazing sight, almost 2000 years old and still in perfect condition. Is this the best preserved Roman monument of all?
@@ns7353 the opposite is true. These aqueducts were structurally over-designed to hell because of a lack of knowledge of optimization and mathematics back in the day. The reason this aqueduct lasted so long is because of its over-design. The reason they were able to build something this over-designed is through the used of slave labor. A project of this scope would ironically be more expensive to construct today that is was back then even though it could probably be done in a tenth of the time. A weight-optimized form of this could be built today with probably half of the stone that is used in this aqueduct. Labor laws and the environmental impact of material use weren't things that were considered back then.
Its amazing that the Germans hadn't destroyed it in their 1600 years of rampaging through Europe since they destroyed the Roman Empire and sacked Rome , and the rampage only ended in 1945 .
It seems you are a worshipper of power. ALL empires are built on the suppression and exploitation of people of another race. I suspect that what you have against the Germans is their success since 1945 in building a strong democratic state, and in company with France has built a united Europe.

@@dbrown9495 Take a better look at the picture..Can you re-make that today???No. and why? because the knowledge is gone.This is a megalithic structure and not some f..... roman aqueduct

+Kurt Schwochow You're very welcome.
An amazing example of Roman civil engineering!
it's not ''Roman'' it precedes the Romans

Awesome, thanks for the share🎉
I am very pleased that you licked it.
Really amazing
The stones are stacked on top of each other without nothing keeping them toguether except gravity.
Thanks for this. Going to see it tomorrow
Well worth seeing: it's enormous.

You are very welcome.
The acqueduct is of 15 km extension.
Awesome footage. Based and Princeps Senatus pilled
Whether it's a Roman aqueduct, a Mayan temple, or the Great Wall of China, you just have to marvel at what simple human hands can do.
And people think we're getting smarter.

You are very welcome. As to your question, I don't know. It's certainly the biggest one I've ever seen.
The Pantheon from Rome is also in a very good condition.
@@MrAchile13 Yes but the deference is the pantheon has been restored in many occasions through history and this acueduct never was touched.
Magnifique
Merci!
This happened 2000 years ago and 60% of Africa still has no indoor plumbing
How long ,in miles ,please was this?😄😎👀👁👁
Just over half a mile.
Remarkable
Are these regular things in Spain? I get the impression they are.
Yes, I would say they are. I think the reason is that Spain was slow to develop because it is such a mountainous country.
What is useful if you want your civilization to last 1200 years
Does water still run through it?
The spanish government shut it off, in the 1880's, or 1890's, and use the water source elsewhere.
When your infrastructure outlives your civilization for 2000 years you know you are going a little bit over budget.
Funny thing: its was supposed to be temporary lol. And only rocks on top of each other. No concrete or anything between them.

@@AlbanianThrash and it wouldn't last hundreds of years.
Great video thanks for sharing it. I wonder if the entire larger columns are made with dressed stone or the middle is filled with rubble?
Each stone is real, no mortar, just fit together perfectly with precise measurement
It doesn’t look Roman. Romans used mortar and brick
In Brazil that wouldn’t have lasted at least 50y
The Romans were no joke. Hard to believe it's all held together by gravity.. Theyre lucky there's no crazy Americans, with bulldozers around.
This looks like fantasy, not real life.
Seems like the whole world was thrown back 1000 years after the fall of the Roman empire.
Too true!
Good, but this video could do with some commentary. :-(

The Germans are a bit rough though, and their architecture is pretty crap.
