    I am from Brazil. It is NOT a mystery why the Amazon River has no bridges.
    The Amazon has no bridges, because the Amazon Basin has no roads. There is a single dirt road with the grandiose name Rodovia Trans-Amazônica, which runs east to west, i.e. parallel to the river. During the rainy season, it turns into a mud quagmire.
    Again: no bridges, because there are NO roads.

    never expected this channel to talk about the city I lived in my Childhood, Macapá, like Santarem it is also only accessible by water or air, there are no roads out, it is like living in a really giant island, without the natural disasters, it rains contantly and it is pretty windy, but because of the difficulty of access, some places seem to be frozen in time, I still visit the city and it is interesting to see really old buildings that I used to see when I were a kid close to brand new ones.

      ​@@pollypockets508 ty, another thing I would like to add, is that it is possible to reach the city via roads, at some points, the roads intersect with the river and car ferry boats transport all types of automobiles to the the other side, this process can occur 2 to 3 times depending where u are going, and altough u have to pay a toll to cross, some of these checkpoints can also be used as a resting place since the area around the river have places to park ur car, eat and sometimes sleep because the ferry service is not 24hrs, so if u arrive late u have to either return from where u came or wait until it opens again, so some checkpoints also have something akin to a motel in the USA, where u pay to spend just the night

    Last year, during the election period in Brazil the current president Lula tried to say the former president Bolsonaro had polluted the river near Santarém city and because of that the water was brown. Strangely enough, many people actually believed him, except for anyone who had studied about different densities and people that, like me, were born in that city and have been seeing with what we call "Encontro das águas" ever since they were toddlers, the polluted river is actually the place where the Tapajós river and the Amazon river meet, because they have different densities you can always see where one ends and the other begins

    Most of the arguments I'm hearing are valid in the lower end of the river - the upper part likely has less water flow, less width, less swimming islands, no tidal bores, etc. (There are also no bridges over the lower ~100 km of the river Elbe in Germany, north-west of Hamburg.)
    You don't necessarily _need_ a road for constructing a bridge (you can bring the construction material and crew by ship), but there is _no point_ in a bridge when there is no road on both sides of it.

    7:44 what they should do for BR 319 is build one of the floating roads so during the wet season, it just fucking float. It would be a lot cheaper than just building a low lying bridge across the whole damn span and easier to maintain if it gets damaged, you just replace the part.

    15:44 Those are manta rays, not stingrays. Difference is, mantas live in open water, they're much larger, and they don't sting.

    The Nile is the longest river in the world. Just double checked your intro fact and the article claiming the Amazon as the longest River in the world is from 2014 and other older reports. As of the second decade of the 20th Century the Nile River in Africa tops number one in many charts

    • @markphillips3186
      @markphillips3186 ปีที่แล้ว

      I think the title of longest river will be subject to dispute for some time. Problems are determining source from the various tributaries. Also, how you measure the length. In metres or kilometres?

    The amazon and nile may have a similar length, but they are not similar in size(volume). The Amazon is by far the largest river in the world. The Nile just makes top 100.

    1:33 Everything I see says it delivers 55-58 million gallons per second into the Atlantic, not 44,000. That's nearly 17 billion metric tons per day, the same amount of freshwater used by New York City every 9 years. Nearly 100 miles out into the Atlantic you can still drink the water.
