CZcams recommends me 10 year old 10-second videos instead of quality content like this. Way to go, algorithm.
You have no clue, because while watching this I stumble in my recommedation feed over a playlist of all 150 Ducktales 2017 videos. Go figure - I have no idea where that comes from, why it is there when the last time was I even watched something remotely related to DuckTales
use Not Interested/ Dont recommend option
Then how did you find this video
I love the internet. As a fellow Aussie, I find you through a Brit, and find a video on a palace I went to as a young child and never remembered its name. Thank you for reminding me :D
Video is amazing, please keep these up!
Thanks mate! Loved visiting this place, glad you could find it again
Atomic Frontier, this is wonderful and interesting. I tweeted this to share and posted your video to FB. Huzzah!
Thank you, thats fantastic!
This video is such high quality, how does it only have 8 thousand views?
400 year old? Wow. Can't even imagine how immensely intelligent these people were.
as intelligent as today tbh
@@cavemann_ nah. I have seen so many dumb people that this can't even remotely be true. Obviously there are intelligent people but probably not as intelligent as these guys. And as a whole we have become immensely dumber.
@@SahilP2648 I disagree. People didn't get more or less intelligent. They merely gained some convenient tools for exchanging information, beliefs, etc... Although I AM willing to say that the world as a whole is more educated these days, only problem is the education system doesn't teach you how to filter information so that job is left for parents (if they exist).
Just my opinion
@@SahilP2648 Just because we hear a ton about the idiots doesn't mean that that's all there is nowadays. Dumb people have existed back then as well, you simply have not yet heard of them yourself. Lots of funny stories you could find on the internet about the past
Consider the insane things we nowadays have managed, tiny computers, great medical advancements, being able to explore space or the deep seas
It's not about being more or less intelligent in general, it's about having knowledge available as the other person has said.
Although the average education rate nowadays is not even comparable to how low it was back then.
Very interesting, and, above all, well made and presented.
Back when people have no electricity and use their potential source of power with only water, it's truly an inspiration
This video is
exiting interesting amazing informative unbelievable breathtaking
Hope the algorithm likes it
Haha, great mix of keywords you're got there. Thanks for the support!
If anything, my bucket list have been filling up nicely during COVID. I just hope I can get to see just a small subset of it all.
This channel is great! Saw your vid on the Vassa ship. Looking forward to episodes of Engineering Europe! Cheers from Boston, Ma 🥂
Impressive series man!
Pretty cool stuff indeed
I live 20km from Hellbrunn was there twice its quite cool!
keep it up!
so impressive!
thx
Nice

Comment for the algorythm
When Louis IV was building the palace of versailles it had so many fountains they were never able to power them all at once. Different servants would run around turning them on and off as he walked within view lol. They diverted Different water sources and even started to build a Roman style auquaduct. All futile efforts.
:)
"It is going to be an awesome episode", as if any of his episodes weren't awesome.
You're channel is criminally undderated
That introduction must be one of the driest things I've ever heard.
Wow, human labour must've been so cheap in those days if you could use people with buckets in place of a pump.
I think it's less that labor was cheap and more that the owners of the palace were fantastically rich.
@@MSpacer But not rich enough to afford a pump?
@@unvergebeneid More on account of the fact that electricity and steam power hadn't been invented yet. There were some wind or animal powered water lifting devices but they were quite large and probably not practical for this purpose.
@@MSpacer even with an Archimedes' screw type pump using human muscle it would've been more effective than carrying buckets. And I forgot what period exactly this was but Louis XIV had huge pumps for his gardens in Versailles.
@@unvergebeneid That's fair. I guess I'm not sure why they decided to go with human labor without any mechanical assistance. Maybe the distance between the different water features or some constraint of the palace's design would have made a screw, bucket lift, whatever impractical. Also, I doubt the fountains ran 24/7 in the palace's early days. It's perhaps better to get the servants to fill up the tank before a big party rather than have a pump that runs only 1% of the time.
we have Religion Rom. KaTh
like ThaT Arch Bishop who
was The owner of ThaT Palace
Sorry, great concept, but I dont like this video. Why?
You are in too much of a hurry, you talk too fast and there is way, way too many cuts, its like watching an annoying music video rather than a calming film about fountains. Even ignoring the cuts you are barely allowing your viewers time to take in what is happening or the beauty of the setup before you hurry to explain it. Please calm down!
