The Founding Of Venice Was Weirder Than You Think

Venice shouldn't exist. It looks like a floating paradise. But underneath the heavy stone palaces lies one of the craziest engineering secrets in history. To escape brutal invaders, a group of regular people fled into a muddy swamp—and built a global superpower on top of the water. In this video, we uncover the exact secrets of how they did it: The Wood: Why millions of wooden poles didn't rot, but turned into solid rock. The Snowshoe: The giant underground platform that stops massive marble buildings from sinking into the mud. The Water Machine: How they turned the entire city into a giant hidden filter to catch clean drinking water from the rain.
