We look back to the original construction of the Suez Canal, back in 1859, to show how it first came to be built, and how now, they are planning to widen it.
It’s a major construction project, aimed at doubling the width of the Suez Canal 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.
This documentary was produced by Eclectic and directed by Johanna Gauterie, Richard Poisson. It was first released in 2017.

Canals into the #African #desert and building islands with extra #sand, possible bridge of islands from #Africa to #Brazil ? #China
Building another #Panama canal not connected to mountain lake with one lock ? #China
Storyline made by a dysfunctional brain
Idiotic editing – why not just tell the story in its correct timeline. Ridiculous jumping back and forth in time.
It did not separate africa and asia
It separated africa from africa
All this money for production and you get that basic facts incorrect
Egyptians did not build the pyramids they inherited them and take credit for them. The Egyptian board of tourism is coming to kill me now
Why is it when you google original construction photos of the Suez Canal all images are drawings or paintings and not photos? I'll tell you why. Because the original Suez canal was old world construction which happened well before 1859. Yes there were cameras in 1859. The first camera was invented in 1816 by Joseph Nicephore Niepce. Question the time line narrative folks. We've been lied to on a grand scale.

Splendid documentary. Good primer on dredging, fascinating engineering history, political history. Should be compulsory viewing for marine engineers and naval architects everywhere.
Are there sharks in the waterway?
So you say they dug the 89 km long canal with shovels. 89 km and No locks. Yes Earth is a Plane and HIS-STORY IS NOT OUR STORY.
Japan created wonder❤❤❤❤❤
Its the Japan created Technology wonder❤❤❤
❤ interesting to know ❤
The fish must freak the fuck out
Incredible. An hour long explanation that conveniently skips the questions I wanted answered. How was the water held back while building it? And how was the water released safely once finished?
what tense is this documentary presented in ??? are you mentally impaired??????? i quit after 4 mins
It’s the Mediterranean Sea, not the Mediterranean Ocean!
Mediterranean ocean?
Woops sorry can't go that way anymore!!!
Staggering feat of ingenious engineering from mid 1900s to today 2024. Excellent history of Suez Canal. A shame the documentary didn't talk about the people of mid 1900s who excavated the Suez, like where they come from, how they died and photos, and what if any their descendants if if they work on the canal today. Thoroughly enjoyable history doc.
Thank god the era of these global catastrophes is nearly over…
Colonizers. They tried to split mother Afrika up and call it the “Middle East” when they’re is no Middle West. That’s North East Afrika😢😢😢😢
A very interesting vid!
Why do folks force people to listen AND read to obtain the full understanding of a video? How stupid!
Egypt: we need 8 billion euros to reconstruct the canal
The people: 💸 💰
Ugh ai voiceover. Gone.
How does the water not seep thru the sand.?
Hi there and thanks for the video. Btw it's the "Mediterranean Sea" not the "Mediterranean Ocean"
My ship was part of the first United States Navy nuclear task force to transit the Suez. There were three ships. Two cruisers and an aircraft carrier.
I only know of 3 ship canals in rhe world this one Panama and Manchester ship canal wonder if there is any more
👍
It's Ibn Batuta…not I.B.N Batuta!!
I first went through the canal on the BP Tanker British Loyalty in the November of 1977..
Those steam dredgers were still in operation then.. I can never forget the noise of them.. squealing and screeching like something from the pits of hell..
So the Egyptian government sold shares to the general population to finance the extensions?

Waarom kunnen die fransen niet gewoon in het Engels spreken
Western people is the brain of the new civillization of technology dont hate them
So I imagine during the construction and dredging they discovered oil on the banks of these countries and now they’re trying to hide it and take it over.
This documentary says that thousands of manual workers died during the construction of the Suez Canal, but its focus is not the humanitarian tragedy. All the attention of those who watch the documentary is drawn to the success of the technologies created to accelerate the construction of the original channel and used to expand it recently. In the "business as usual" world, machines have life and are revered as if they were living beings. But the poor workers who died have no right to be humanized. No one needs to know their names, how old they were and what the details of the deadly accidents were? Did their families suffer? Are there any descendants of theirs who could give testimony? These questions were considered irrelevant, because as if it were a Pyramid, the Suez Canal devoured the lives of thousands of manual workers and their stories as well.
