    Two interesting facts I learned when in Venice:
    One major factor in Venice's sinking is that early in the 20th Century, industry around the lagoon began pumping groundwater. The fresh water aquifer extended below the sea and under Venice. Venice was supported partially by hydrostatic pressure in that aquifer.
    Second: The wood pylons under the city were not only protected from rot in the anaerobic mud, but over the thousands of years have mineralized -- basically, they are turning to stone.

      Also many of your many claims are either false or imprecise (Bulgarian empire had been already defeated at that time), and the Empire still had huge swathes of territories in Europe and Anatolia as well.
      Among the events which led to the end of Eastern Roman Empire, this was a huge event, since there was a before and after.
      Before the IV crusade, Constantinople was still one of the most populated and richest city in the world.
      After the 4th Crusade, it was a ghost town.
      We could say, the IV crusade has been the final hit to the power of Constantinople.

      Maybe. It's extremely likely that another city in the Mediterranean would have controlled the Spice Trade if it wasn't Venice as the trade had to go through that area to get to Europe. And all it would take is a ruler wealthy enough to fund a mad expedition further west than anyone had ever safely sailed before (that they knew of).

    Okay I get it. Only people with extensive experience in construction could have possibly built and settled in such an area. The ancient Roman influence is clearly evident in Venice from it's city planning layout to it's aesthetics. So Rome too must have been water logged and it too had it's foundations in trade so the Romans became more ingenious because of the viability of it's location for economy, just like Venice. I'm sure Venice will continue to rise above it's affliction. It's so beautiful. That history needs to be saved at all cost. Inspiration happens spontaneously and Venice inspires. The fact that Murano glass is founded in Venice, is a clue for the fact that Romans used glass. Murus in Latin means Wall. Perhaps the Romans utilised plate glass walls and partitions in their architecture, just as we do today.

    European cities are truly the man-made most beautiful spots in the world. I'm in love with their vibrant architecture, the cities look like those from storybooks. Plus most european cities were built around rivers and canals. That makes them so different from the big, noisy and contaminated metropolis of today. It's so calm and beautiful and such a place full of cultural heritage. Modern architecture will never resemble that of the ancient european cultures.

    Venice is build on German Oaks, which is a very hard and solid wood, known for withstanding all weather conditions for a very long time and preserving itself expecially in mud. Since some of them are rotting now or are instable, you can see everywhere on the side of German forest paths many big straight old oak stems which will be transported to Venice soon 😊

    "Giving refugees a safe place to live..." these were native people displaced by foreign refugees (the Visigoths, the Lombard's and numerous other Germanic tribes fled from the Huns) and as a result were forced to find a way to protect themselves.

    5:20 the lombards were not an unified population, but a patchwork of populations pushed by huns.
    They then founded a common culture by creating myths to create a common origin story. That's called ethnogenesis :)

    People hate on Venice but honestly was one of the best citieis I visited in Europe even over Rome and Florence. The issue is the waters could be better, but even if you hate the large crowds, if you just walk around the city you will get why it is so revered. The structure of the city is super impressive and the way it looks is so unique. Hopefully they can preserve this city as much as possible.
