The Suez Canal transformed the world forever. Now, again, widening it is a major construction project, aimed at doubling the width and deepening its main waterway. 500 million cubic meters of sand and soil have already been transported from all over the world. Using unprecedented 3D images, we reveal how the canal will be widened. We also look back to the original construction, back in 1859, to show how it first came to be built.
As for the problem of crossing the ever evolving Suez Canal I can see the solution as being a large ferry suitable for vehicles with the outer docks for the ferry being recessed into the banks to avoid causing canal traffic obstuction. Any bridge built would become too short as the canal is widened and any tunnel underneath the Suez Canal would eventualy hinder the deepening of the canal.
When do you think Egypt will repay those who built the canal in the first place. With interest and adjusted for inflation plus an amount for damages i.e. loss of income due to Nasser Nationalising the canal? Just thought I’d mention it lol
Wait are you saying that 500 million cubic meters of sand and soil was brought to the Suez from all over the world? Or do you mean to say what was said in the video which is that dredges were brought in from all over the world to move the 500 million cubic meters of sand and soil from the new canal section?

As an Egyptian im stunned by the amount of engineering genius put into this project throughout its history and after ive watched this exceptional documentary….i feel extremely proud of every free “unknown” Egyptian that participated and lost their lives for this world changing project to come to life those are the true unsung heroes that deserve honoring …
What about the original builders of the canal? I would say that everyone who was involved with the canal from the design engineers to the lowest peasant with a shovel to those who secured financing for it to be built to all of the families (wives and children) who went long periods without seeing their husband/father while they were away working on it. There were so many people involved it’s difficult to name them all I would even include the very first person to dream of this canal. But definitely a big thank you to all of the nameless labourers who toiled for long endless days doing back breaking work moving what must have seemed like never ending piles of earth. All throughout history on many many large projects there were always the lowly labourers doing 90% of the work usually for low wages if they were even paid, quite a few were slaves. Thank goodness for mechanical engineers who designed and built all of the fantastic machines we have now. Cheers
Obviously ? They bought shares or bonds which made / make huge profits. An ideal semi socialist idea ?. Ferdinand de Lesseps's replication in France for Panama (folie ?) bankrupted the entire country (Gvt, banks, investors alike)
@@eugenio1542 It's not socialist, it's capitalism done on a massive scale. The people are investing money in government bonds that will go towards building the canal, which will pay them back in the long term when everyone around the world uses that canal. Each ship 800,000$ like said in the documentary. It would be socialist if everyone got paid, but in this case it's only people that bought bonds getting paid. So I guess it's right of you to call it semi socialist. Definitely better than bankrupting the whole country that's for sure.

A totally brilliant documentary. A story very well and comprehensively told. How disappointing that the adverts eat into its integrity with the sheer quantity and frequency of these ads. I suspect somebody is being greedy at the expense of the viewer.
Digging a straight canal doesn't require a genius engineer! As a matter of fact thousands of years ago Egyptians dug a canal between the red Sea and the Nile so it wasn't something new
Damm!! It was brutal how people were forced in Egypt to provide Hard Labour for the construction of the Canal in the 80s without Advanced Machinery but still they found a way !!
From 23:54, you have a great example of the way biology anticipates technology. The device essentially is an artificial mouth and gullet, complete with teeth and saliva. From 25:09 and from 26:12, also from 26:55 you then can see how the digestive system of an animal is imitated also at its other end, after the sand has been stored in the stomach of a ship. So altogether you have a huge artificial animal eating its way through the ground.
How about interviewing some working folks who actually are building. This is such a pet peeve . You always show the bosses who stand around and point then take glory for building things. 👷♂️ the workers are the ones who should receive the credit
@@tomgunn8004 okay and then who would build it ? Teamwork makes the dream work that's my point but they neglect to showcase the builders who are intrical to the completion of any project .

The French success with the Suez Canal was the cause of the French failure with the Panama Canal. The French thought they could make a sea-level Panama Canal. They were wrong.

Panama took 30 yrs to build, Suez took 10 yrs to build, the harsh environment of the Panama made that one alot harder to make!~

What an amazing documentary. Wonder if they found any archeological remnants during the digs?

It interesting
The Suez and Panama canals are the 2 biggest manmade "shortcuts" when it comes to naval travle.
I heard that the difference in elevation of the Lake within if encountered will give way a Flooding Compartment of the Suez Canal...
Difficult to follow as it jumps around between the original project and a recent expansion. Needs more maps
and what is a jettison ? I didn't understand that part at all.
Mantap
We should build a ship as big as the planet so we wouldn't have to build a bigger canal.
