Megaproject idea: the rise of Simon's YouTube empire

[jackgibsxxx]

Rome was not built in a day. I think that makes it a Megaproject.

[jeast]

The Roman empire is remembered so well bc no other empire has had such a lasting influence on modern culture, government, and everyday life. It truly was one of the greatest empire to ever exist

"All right, but apart from the sanitation, the medicine, education, wine, public order, irrigation, roads, a fresh water system, and public health, what have the Romans ever done for us?"

I was impressed by the pace and clearness. Very often if people trying to explain too much to quickly it becomes "information out of a fire hose", but I was actually able to follow all this. Well done. I was smiling when you got to the beached Carthaginian ship, I knew that story and it's an impressive one. Not only does this prove that mass production existed, but that the work force were literate.

[kevinquist]

amazing to hear ~600 years worth of history boiled down to 20 min. for a insanely difficult task, you did a very impressive job.

[donaldkelly]

All that in 20 mins! Possible future imperial profiles: Ancient China, England, and America.

[portaltwo]

The rise and fall of the Roman Empire in 20 minutes? I'm just starting the video and already I'm impressed!

[MirZZi]

Ironically been playing a lot of Total War: Rome Remastered lately... Good timing

Tip/request: a graphical timeline on the lower margin would really help provide a sense of time scale… especially with “mega projects” spanning multiple centuries 😅

[gollum]

Have a few German Mega Projects Idea:
1. The "Elbphilharmonie" ist a big opera house built in the Hamburg old Harbour ontop of antique buildings which aren't allowed to be altered.
2. The Big Upgrade to the Munich subway network currently, with digging of a second main track, to ease the pressure on the old and overused central tunnel. That one is actually the most used two-way rail track in the world. Also the whole Munich "S-Bahn" drives more track km a year than the whole German long distance Network.
3. Maybe in a Megaprojects Video we can finally get behind the million of delays to the new Berlin Airport, which finally opened last year. The Year no-one could fly due to covid :D

Just a few Ideas that i thought could be interesting.

Small correction: "Res Publica" actually means "Public thing" or "Thing of the public". So it's not "for the people" but more "of the people". Government (the thing) of the people (the public).
