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!

Atomic Frontier, this is wonderful and interesting. I tweeted this to share and posted your video to FB. Huzzah!

YouTube recommends me 10 year old 10-second videos instead of quality content like this. Way to go, algorithm.

[ivanpoparic]

Very interesting, and, above all, well made and presented.

[dustyp]

This video is such high quality, how does it only have 8 thousand views?

[MkandaGnarlyyy]

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.

400 year old? Wow. Can't even imagine how immensely intelligent these people were.

Back when people have no electricity and use their potential source of power with only water, it's truly an inspiration

"It is going to be an awesome episode", as if any of his episodes weren't awesome.

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.

[unvergebeneid]

Wow, human labour must've been so cheap in those days if you could use people with buckets in place of a pump.

[Zoggbarr]

That introduction must be one of the driest things I've ever heard.

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!
