The Castle Builders: Construction in the Middle Ages | Complete Series | FD Engineering
Megastructures - Modern Architectural Marvels: • Massive Engineering: M...
How did engineers long ago organize armies of machines and men to create the great castles of the world. How did they cut, assemble, and raise the giant stoneworks that made up these colossal fortifications? This extraordinary series explores the architectural visions behind the building of the iconic Medieval Castles of Europe and unearths the human stories of those who labored to construct them.

    @@resqfreedom9308 Lot of labor and weekends were not a thing. The craftsmen of those times had perfected their craft that has been passed down in their family for centuries. It would be the only profession they would know since a young age. They were extremely talented and efficient. Never underestimate the skill of people of the past. Modern mechanization merely replaced laborers and had 1 worker do far more jobs, often with little training. There was no such thing as turnover. If you were born into the family of carpenters, then a carpenter you would be until you die or your carpenter children could support you in old age, disabling injury or dismemberment. In many ways the women were even more talented. They would have to know skills such as candle making, tailoring, simple pottery, basic carpentry and furniture making, gardening, to raising and butchering farm animals as well as cooking. Only the wealthy could afford to buy everything they needed from craftsmen. A typical family had to be self-sufficient. As for these large castle projects, the workers would bring their families with them. They absolutely relied on them. Where there was a large construction project, would've been a large village of its workers and families.

    the way they built those castles with such straight walls and edges is bananas stacking odd shaped bits and chunks of brick and stone together perfectly rather than working with more uniform blocks 1:04 :48 and sometimes they DO work with more uniform blocks like on the pillars, and the capstones of the arches, but the walls are a hobbled together mess it's a miracle they are straight. they must have used miracle mortar too! they've lasted this long! 1:05 :53 and they couldn't come close to replicating the craftsmanship when they tried to repair the remaining uniform blocks HMMMMMM 1:15 :25 this castle that use to belong to the Cathars/Tartarians 1:17 :35 use of mixed brick and stone design 1:30 :55 1/2 brick 1/2 stone block upper left corner 2:08 :58 the strange deformed arch way on the bottom right, fascinating

I can't tell if the footage has been redubbed, which would be totally possible, to give it a veneer of project management. It might possibly be the very same documentary but retitled. You'll want to check out the documentary on the French castle Geudelon. It has on-site experts in design, engineering and construction of a 12th century castle.

    I suppose that depends on your definition of middle ages, there, doesn't it? For sure, castles as we know them didn't exist in Britain until the mid 10 hundreds, at the earliest. Castles of one form or another begin showing up as early as 800 in France and a few other places on the continent. The east had some very castle like buildings much earlier, but they were also very NOT like the castles we know and love, either.

    Fact of the matter is they have found evidence to show that they were perfected in the middle ages and have found artifacts that prove it. So if you want to be ignorant and ignore scientific facts that have been verified time and time again then that's your choice but I highly suggest you do your research before spouting off your pseudo facts. Archeological evidence as well as documentation such as Mason marks that can be coralated with records from the time more then prove the time lines of these amazing buildings.
