Have you ever wondered how Venice, a city built on water, became one of the most powerful and wealthy cities in history?
In this video, we uncover the extraordinary story of Venice, from its humble beginnings as a refuge for Roman citizens fleeing the Huns, to its rise as a medieval engineering marvel. Discover how the Venetians transformed a muddy lagoon into a thriving metropolis with no roads, no land, and no fresh water. We'll explore the ingenious techniques they used to build stable foundations, construct iconic canals and bridges, and develop a unique system for fresh water and waste management.
Join me as we model Venice's complex infrastructure and reveal the secrets behind its lasting success. Be sure to stick around until the end of this video to learn more about our next giveaway.

What do you all think of Venice? It's definitely my favorite city 🙌 Shoutout to Displate for making this vid possible, check out their new Textra posters here: displate.com/primalspace

That water collection and waste management system was genius.
-
I can't believe that Venice designed so many things that are still around today from scratch; it's truly a marvel of engineering, even still today.
-
It’s crazy how creative people can get when there’s a need for it, as seen in this video.
-
The way Venice people solved their problems without creating any side effects is amazing. I liked the most their solution to get clean water. Thank you for the fascinating explanation and well-detailed graphics.
-
I've have always been fascinated with Venice because I see it in almost every movie. Hopefully, I will visit it soon!
-
This is the best explanation of how Venice is organized that I have heard. Thanks!
-
A place that has had such an impact on modern ingenuity as well as staying strong/sturdy after centuries of it being set-up. Quite a remarkable history and an important detail that tourists should know about to appreciate the true majestic beauty that is Venice.

Italians in the past:💪😎👌 Italians now:😭🤌
-
Damn, now I really wanna live there.
-
WTF mate. Wait. So the waste still flushes out into the canal today? Also. Amazing video.
-
primal space vid = good day
-
I'm always amazed at the engineering skills that people had so long ago. Here we are, nearly 1000 years later, and sometimes we still build bridges that don't meet in the middle...
-
Are they still dumping their waste directly into the ocean?
-
Наконец-то узнал как построили Винницу. Зачем отсюда было переезжать в какой-то Дубай?
-
This is really inspirational. The ammount of work and Patience the people needed to build attleast one house. And the ammount of material needed is Huge as well
-
Venice is absolutely breathtaking! I love exploring its intricate network of canals and historic architecture. The beautifully crafted bridges are a marvel, each one with its own unique charm, adding to the city's vibrant cultural heritage and timeless allure.
-
I LOVE these informational videos you have been uploading recently. Your channel is going to explode as you post new videos that aren’t space-related.
-
Venice is so beautiful and so engineered I hope it never dies
-
What a beautiful channel full of information it's worth waiting one whole month for a video I really enjoyed it.
