Would you be ok with doing a top 5 biggest Green mega projects or green citys projects 🤔.
I think it would be nice and important later on for how the world is changing.
Thoughts.
Hey Simon, can you do a video about the ruins of Baalbek? It has multiple stones, whom are considered the biggest building blocks ever used! Some of them weigh as much as a 1000 ton.
Hello, just wanted to point out at 8:39 there is a error with the graphic. It displays the wrong height information. You state 60ft in height, but the graphic shows 450ft.
I love the fact that Simon can, whilst occasionally being a bit of a bell, have someone correct or educate him and him then basically go “oh, well fair enough then” and actually learn something and then just move on, like an actual adult, rather than behaving like a child. Not many people can do so these days
Keep up the legendary work Fact Boy
All about those facts, person.
I'm sure he is a very curious sort who feels being corrected leads him further on the road to knowledge. If only we could all be like that.
You failed to mention that of all the 7 wonders, the Temple of Artemis is the only one mentioned in the Bible. Paul visited it in the Book of Acts.
Be glad he at least didn't sellout to the BCE/CE nonsense. It still means BC/AD, Our Western Gregorian Calendar is centered around the Life and Death of a Palestinian Jewish Man. Whether One likes or is "offended" by it or not. Sorry for your feelings, however, the Western Calender is centered around the Birth and Death of a Palestinian Jew. Please stop your anti Semetism Revisionists...
@@halicarnassus8235 he didn’t do it in THIS video, but he has done it in most other of his videos. In some vids he’ll use the B.C/A.D for one date, then a few minutes later, use the B.C/B.C.E for another date.
@@doomy_mcdoomerson I do not blame you, my sarcasm is way off apologies.
@@halicarnassus8235 I agreed with what you said. I was just saying he does use those date descriptors in other videos.
@@doomy_mcdoomerson Can we agree on one thing? Thank you stranger for being so awesome. Gn. It was a pleasure to aqauint. Gn Awesome.
When I started here, all there was was swamp. Other priests said I was daft to build a temple on a swamp, but I built it all the same, just to show 'em. It sank into the swamp. So, I built a second one. That sank into the swamp. So, I built a third one. That burned down, fell over, then sank into the swamp, but the fourth one... stayed up!
Sounds very phyonesk.
"What, the curtains?"
🤣🤣🤣🤣👍👍👍
But mother, I don't want to marry Princess Lookie. I'd rather... I'd rather sing, sing! 🎶🎵

The temple to Artemis at Sardis (not Ephesus/modern day Selcuk) appears in the video at 12:33 - the mountain in the background that looks like Half Dome gives it away.
agreed. was in selcuk recently and sadly, there was only one lone pillar standing at the site. the clip shown wasnt the one in selcuk. i was told by the locals i met there that most significant pieces of the temple are now housed in the british museum. various sources say some of the marble of from it were also repurposed to build other buildings in the area. ah well.
Of all the 7 Wonders of the World, i would appreciate it greatly if someone could go back in time, travel to the Library of Alexandria, and scan all the books to file, before the building burned down.
this going back in time thing happens very frequently on tv and in the movies, but on this occasion, we need some real work done! Thank you!
Do you mean just before the christians took offence at someone else holding knowledge?
@ExplosiveMonkey One theory that I heard was that romans ( post christian conversion ) burnt down the library.
@@alanhilder1883 That's a popular myth, but the reality is much more believable -- and mundane.
Continued support for such a large library and its vast collection costs a *lot* of money, and the governments of Ptolomey's Egypt -- and then Roman Egypt -- were expected to pay for it in a time when very few people could read, at all, and everything had to be copied, laboriously (and thus, expensively) by hand.
So, yeah. The Great LIbrary of Alexandria wasn't destroyed in a spectacular fire (although it certainly experienced its share of blazes).
It was destroyed by *budget cuts*.
Just to get an idea of the scale, the U.S. Library of Congress has an annual budget that tops $800 million.
Now, the U.S. enjoys an advanced, post-industrial economy, so nearly a billion dollars may not seem like all that much -- especially compared to the nation's grotesquely huge annual military expenditures.
However, given that so few people perceive it as directly beneficial to their own lives -- and, in fact, a significant fraction of the U.S. population has demonstrated unceasing hostility to factual historical records, scientific discovery and any sort of rational world-views -- one could easily see how a big, expensive library could become the victim of budget cuts.
And that's in the most advanced nation of the modern world.
Compared to the modern U.S., Egypt during the decline and fall of the Roman Empire was increasingly filled with fearful, desperate people.
Small wonder the governments of Egypt just let the place go.
@@thomashiggins9320 As My comment was "based" on Jay's comment about the burning down, I stuck to that for my comment, so you are in fact "correcting" Jay.
@@thomashiggins9320 Proofreading, is, a -- thing.
Few things make my nerdy heart happier than leaving work knowing I have videos from multiple factboi channels to look forward to watching. Thank you, Simon!
You're welcome. Thanks for watching.
Had to make a play list
Sorry Simon. Inaccuracies galore and shudders every time you say E- FEE SUS
EFF-E-SUSS
Good to know that I'm not the only one whose skin crawled every time he mispronounced Ephesus.
100 years to finish! Could you imagine trying to get something built today when you tell folks it won't be finished for 100 years?
The Sagrada Familia of Barcelona has been under construction since the 1880s and it won't be finished until 2027 if I remember correctly
Sagrada Familia in Barcelona.
Sounds like most political promises to me, these usually go over budget and are abandoned as soon as the media can be distracted to something else.
@@nadwanrosetta2942 It won't be finished in 2027... Before that it will be postponed to 2032. And then 2037. And then... you get the idea by now. Several portions/sections have been rebuilt numerous times by now simply because the teeth of time keeps biting it at about the same rate as progress is made. By now it would be devastating to the tourism if it actually finished. The entire attraction is that it is NOT finished yet.....
yeah, the country isn't yours so why invest. an international economic zone doesn't belong to anyone. it will always be given away to the next wave of invasions.
So, hey, we want to build this thing, it won’t be finished in your lifetime, your child’s lifetime, possibly even your grandchildren won’t see it finished, but your great-grandchildren might see it done. Money now please…
Imagine trying to get any modern politician to sign off on such a Mega-Project.
Ha, you can't even get them to sign off on what they want for lunch hardly.
Topic Idea: the Houston Medical Center - the most concentrated healthcare hub in world, with a skyline of all hospitals (MD Anderson, TX Childrens) rivaling Houston's own. Has its own power grid and generation. Road signs in metric (in TX!) due to number of international patients. Adjacent to museum district, a passenger rail (in TX!) and the Houston Zoo with dedicated entrance from TX Children's . The whole area and landscaping was meant to cater to patients and families. I had the 'pleasure' of having my brain surgery operation from one of the top floors!
It would be really interesting to see statistics of how much of the population are patients, how many go into that Medical Center to never come out, and how many lives are saved.
As a Houston native, I second this suggestion!
I live in Houston and yeah I can attest to this.
Episode suggestion: the Little Big Inch Pipeline. A pipeline that stretches from Texas to the north east. Was built in less than 1 year during WWII to prevent u boats sinking American tankers n the Gulf of Mexico. The pipeline is still in use today. Also other pipeline/infrastructure wonders would be appreciated.
Would love to see a mega projects on that
He better do it quick before Biden shuts that one down aswell 🙄
Cleopatra's sister was sent to Ephesus to live at the temple because she kept trying to overthrow Cleopatra. Cleopatra eventually asked Mark Antony to kill her because Arsinoe kept referring to herself as queen and was a threat. So he sent someone to do the job, who reportedly killed Arsinoe on the steps of the Temple of Artemis.
You can see in his eyes on the thumbnail that he's thinking "HELP ME ITS ANOTHER ROMAN/GREEK THING"
Episode suggestion, the rebuild of west germany after ww2 or how the Americans took reconnaissance in east Germany
Ah, this was a good one Factboi :D Keep 'em coming! The ancient world was fascinating, yet so very brutal...
Keep the ancient wonders coming! Love these!
I love these historical/mythological videos. Big fan
Absolutely love the content! Just wanted to say thank you for being so dedicated to it!! Also have a great day!!!
Thank you :)
@@megaprojects9649 Maybe one day you can do a "Megaprojects" episode about the creation of the "Megaprojects" channel.
Megaprojects about the pyramids of Teotihuacan!
Everyone: "oh cool temple"
Me: "the third iteration was 69 meters wide, nice"
Episode Suggestion: ITER (International Thermonuclear Experimental Reactor), hopefully the future!
Just found your channels and quite far down the rabbit hole…love what I’ve seen so far….sorry if you’ve already covered but would love to hear your thoughts on the Kailasa Temple, Ellora. When seeing this temple that is carved directly out of the side of a mountain, with all structures and statues part of the same mountainside. I just can’t understand why this isn’t one of the Wonders of the World and would love to hear you opinions on this amazing feat of construction….Thank you again for the great content, love the delivery and great to hear a a voice from the homeland even if I left Wicklow Eire 24 years ago…
All of your channels are great. Thanks!
Actually there is no contradiction between the hunt and wildlife. I was raised in a family of hunters all of whom are conservationists, including my brother who is a fisheries biologist.
Makes sense. A hunter would have a vested interest in making sure that they have something to hunt.
Back then hunting was for food and the animal was respected enough to dispatch as quickly and humanely as possible. Not like hunts now.......
@@craigstoner2632 you clearly have no knowledge of modern hunting. Little has changed, as the primary focus (would venture to say about 80-90%) of hunting is to provide food for themselves and their family.
People tends to confuse hunters with idiots. Hunters tend to have respect for nature. Idiots hunt to feel like they are in control. I've met both groups. They need to be seen as different types of people.
@@movingforward3030 I guess it's all the 30 packs of natural light that I see hunters pack with their guns that make me think they aren't the brightest bulbs in the box.
Been there!
Also, that I am a reason people can no longer bathe on the terraces at nearby Pammukale is something I feel a bit proud of.
Awesome video. I have a suggestion for a topic, the escape from Stalag Luft III or the great escape. The work that went into this escape, and the reasons for it, is truly a mega project. All the work being done by hand without machinery in a prisoner of war camp was astounding. Even if the aftermath left a tarnish that stills lingers to this day.
Love all your channels; I was hoping lethal weapon would have mad it to the last Blaze. I mean there must have been law suits after idiots tried to dislocate their shoulders and putting them back into place lol. Keep them coming Simon and crew.
Could perhaps also have videos like this of each of the other 6 wonders of the ancient world.
Maybe even excluding the pyramids, with them being the only one still standing, and more and more being learnt and uncovered about them now.
found this episode fascinating.
I would love to see videos on the other 6 wonders of the ancient world.
Some day we’ll need a video on how Simon manages his channels
He'd have to start a new channel to do dat
Episode suggestion: DeLorean Motor Company
Very interesting! But we're probably too few who know that it's an interesting tale to get the upvotes needed for Factboi to notice....
@@andersjjensen then keep requesting
ooh! Gorgeous ancient building! 😍😍👍👍
I remember seeing that as refence made in an old PC game - Rome Total War in 2005, I was only 13 BUT having seen this I remember where and when I first herd of it!
1 depicted in Rome Total War was bang on 100% accuracy! based in South West Turkey on the map!
Hello, just wanted to point out at 8:39 there is a error with the graphic. It displays the wrong height information. You state 60ft in height, but the graphic shows 450ft.
Had me confused for a second like, "no way it's as tall as it is long."
Great video! Love this type of content.
Not Epheeesus,but Ephesus,emphasis on 1st syllable.It was St Paul not John who went to Ephesus and wrote a letter to the Ephesians.
You should do a video on the gliwice radio tower. Its 118 meters tall and thus the tallest wodden Tower as of today. (If im not mistaken) it also has a lot of history. It was ambushed by Germany the day before the 2nd WW started.
If you haven't already, would there be a story in the history of the Parthenon? As I understand it, there is a full size 'replica' in Nashville, Tennessee. I don't think it was as big as the Temple of Artemis. I've seen the Elgin Marbles. Very inspiring.
Episode suggestion:
We want more space megastructures.
Dyson Sphere/Swarm
O'Neil Cylinder
Shell World
Ring World
Stanford Taurus
Space Elevator
Shkadov Thruster/Stellar Engine
Bernal Sphere
Sky Hook
Many of these will be mega projects for growing and expanding a space fairing civilizations.
Temple of Baalbek and The Stone of the Pregnant Woman
Restauration of the Acropolis in Athens.
The Serapeum of Saqqara
You can see most of these on Isaac Arthur's SIA channel.
@@thomashiggins9320Great recommendation. I have already lready watched all his stuff. One of my top 5 channels easily.
This channel reaches a very different veiwer group. Would be awsome to spread the knowlage that we are nowhere near civilizations potential.
@@alanweiman1521 Good answer, and I support the request. :)
You've given Simon enough material for the first two months of a new channel: "Space Blaze."
Love your work bro Simon. Could should or can you do a bit on Snowy River Mountain Scheme in Australia? Give me more great content FACT BOI OGBB
It’s a very interesting site, enjoyed the tour when I was there
Imagine 20 Billion years from now, people quoting Symon say "According to Symon Whistler, probably the greatest historian of the first 14 Billion Years... KKKKK

@@Thusal99 oh yes
Good video 👍
Great show.
Hey Simon, how about doing either (or both) the excavator Bagger 288/293 or the world's biggest mine, Bingham Canyon Copper mine?
Parthenon would be a good choice. The Greeks used optical illusions to make it look perfect.
Thats been debunked
it would make a great Megaproject
Do a video on the Chicago ship and sanitary canal/lockport lock. Please.
There is a detailed first-hand and fascinating reference to Artemis and the Temple in the 1st Century AD by the Apostles Paul, found in Acts 19:33-41.
Without wildlife there wouldn't be any hunts would there, ey Simon? Lol
Guess fact boy doesn't know that hunters do more for conservation than the granola humping hippies lol
@@kingjellybean9795 I think this is centuries before duck stamps fund conservation.
Thats what those atrocious Cadbury eggs are for.
@@seanbrazell6147 don't bash on the Cadbury eggs XD. they're like Ladas, so bad that they're awesome XD
That was exactly his point, hence the use of the the word irony and his laughter.
Love your videos.would love you to carry out the history eg CucjulN and the history of the tain on ulster's rich history in Ireland
Cuchullchubby belly.
I have a couple of suggestions. I can't remember if you covered Sky lab yet or the making of the first zeppelin.
Odd one, but the 401 Highway here in Ontario Canada. Busiest highway in the world, excessive construction and rehab jobs, and I will tell you from personal experience... WE F*CKING HATE IT.
East of Cobourg it really needs a third lane. Like seriously, it’s almost bumper to bumper half the time
@@Kyle-qd2sy I can't comment on that but I know that area and north is just a mess. I live about an hour south of TO and to get from here to anywhere north on the line, bank 2 more hours. You aren't going anywhere.
"They wanted a piece of that hot Mediterranean pie."
Thanks for this!
What seems very interesting to me is architecture and aesthetics of buildings throughout several different time periods and eras look practically identical; and some of the things built thousands of years ago would be incredibly difficult to construct today, even with modern technology. Thank you for the video.
Those things that you think would be "incredibly difficult" to construct today would be very easy. Don't exaggerate.
@@bobfg3130 How would you know?
@@HalfWarrior
Because we know how build stuff now that the ancients wouldn't even dare to imagine. 😆
The only reason that it would be difficult to build today is that slaves are too expensive to risk killing off unlike in those days. Now days it is just removing some of those lazy, peasant employees from the gene pool. ( the way big corporations see the "under classes" )
@@alanhilder1883
No need for slaves. You have technology and engineering that they wouldn't dream of in the past.
Thank you.
Topic idea:
holy crap for your next video do one on SOSUS - its a crazy sonar array created by the US to track soviet subs. Its insane sounding
I don't know if you have done one on China's HSR yet but if not I would really like to watch your perspective, I think the fact that 70% of the worlds HSR is in China is amazing and considering it's all been built since 2008 to be even more astounding.
Simon do a video of Cathédrale Notre-Dame de Paris please would love to see it.
Can you do one on the Green rush of the united states, which is now the 5th biggest agriculture crop.
Make something about the British museum.
What about doing a video on American Dream Meadowlands / Meadowlands project
Simon please do a video on the Pantheon in Rome it is truly a Magaproject ! apogees if you already have
Idea for a Megaprojects: Whatever is 6 meters below me. 😕😏🤔
Could you please do the battle between the YF-23 vs the YF-22. Thank you.
Simon, how about a "Megaprojects" on the TSR2?
Love how the square space comment came out 2 hours before the video was posted😂😂
Did Whistle boy just say "hot Mediterranean pie?
Simon, please do a video on the A-10 Thunderbolt II (aka Warthog). Its a Cold War plane that the USAF thought was too ugly to fly.
Imagine if we never destroyed the Library of Alexanderia
I thought it was flooding and earthquake that destroyed the library. Humans are scum, but nature fixes everything.
We'd have a few more religious texts and lots of ancient poetry. That was largely copied elsewhere yet still vanished because people were concerned about different things and lost interest in recopying them.
We lose countless books every year as they go out of print and eventually private collections and public libraries purge their collections of old and low circulation books.
@@nonnayerbusiness7704 And would also be able to fill in a lot of blanks in our historical knowledge and understanding today, just as we would know more about the Founding of Rome had it not been for the Gallic sacking.
@@ajstevens1652 And we would know a lot more about Gaul and Iberia cultures (whose Celtic and Iberian designs the Romans gained their famed equipment from) if it wasn't for the fact that Rome deliberately obliterated Celtic settlements and overbuilt them with Roman ones.
@@nonnayerbusiness7704 Absolutely. The Romans themselves did the same thing.

After watching this video from start to finish I only have one questions. What's up with the two tone beard? Is it dye growing out? Really awkward lighting? Are each of your hair folicals only going half grey?
i would expect it's just the light glistening of the innumerable amount of beard balm he applies for us the viewers.
if we use knowledge to know it will no be forgotten
I've been to Ephesus and walked in this temple (or what is left of it).
the next Episode about the F104 Starfighter?
Of COURSE they're on display at the British Museum lol that's where most of the ancient world's archaeologically and historically significant cultural artifacts belonging primarily to someone else can now be located, innit?!?
...at the end of the day... etc. etc. ...obviously. 😅
Would love to see something on the Sears Tower! (I'll be damned if I ever call it by it's current name! 🤣)
I just realized this is Megaprojects and not Geographics. Huh. Then again, I'm surprised it's not on Sideprojects. Factboy can be delightfully unpredictable...
My cat named Artemis approves of this video :)
The fact you said Hercules not Heracles when talking about a Greek temple is offensive.
Ah Simon. How long's it been? Seems a hundred centuries ago...

Would the Vitruvius in this have any connection to the "Vitruvian Man" sketch by Da Vinci?
The city the Vitruvian Man came from might be named after Vitruvius... But I'm just speculating here.
Oh no! The Temple of Artemis has been crushed!

Wildlife hunt each other. That's not really ironic there Big Brain.
Because they have to to survive, humans don’t have to. We choose to. He was just pointing out the amusement of two seemingly initially contradictory things that are actually very connected. No wildlife = nothing for humans to hunt but especially in today’s society people who love and are activists for wildlife typically don’t hunt or eat meat. Someone i.e. a god being the advocate of both is a bit ironic on the surface level.
You forgot about the exploits of Biggus Dickus
the picture of a temple ruin at 0:55 is not the remains of the temple of Artemis
13:26 is it just me or does this quote back up that theory that the hanging gardens were not at Babylon? seams like he mentions Babylon by name but then there is another "wonder" between it and the mention of the gardens, seeing as the others homelands aren't called out by name why would the gardens not be mentions 2nd? "I seen Babylon's walls, went to Dave's house it's cool, the gardens are cool to ( the ones back in Babylon, not Dave's) then I went other places"
