Mankind has a long history in construction and engineering.

The New Stone Age was the period when the first primitive tools were used.

The basic functions like cutting, scraping and pounding were discovered.

With the Copper and the Bronze ages, the wheel was introduced and this allowed construction to advance.

Tools became more precise and durable as well.

Iron was largely used during the Iron age and the newly-developed tools were used to improve woodworking.

It is believed that rollers and sledges were first used by the Egyptians.

    Yu' know, I'd have liked and watched the entire video if you'd have picked a picture of what you're currently talking about and stuck with it instead of cycling through a bunch of different ones.
  • @Sohave
    I would wish you used pictures of the inovations and particular machines you were describing instead of just random images.
  • The pictures have almost no connection to the narration. It’s very distracting.

    I'm sure glad Cat and Hyundai were around in the 1830's
  • I heard, Joseph Cyril Bamford, watched a child relative, digging sand, on the beach, using their arm. As excavators/shovels were too big and heavy. He then thought about mounting it on an existing tractor,with loader. It was such a success,in clearing bombsites in the 1940's. He started a company, using his initials. Every manufacturer has copied, and developed it since.

    You are correct on the fact of the shovel being invented by William Otis but the Hydraulic Excavator was invented by W.G. Armstrong & Company in 1882 in England. There is a major difference between a shovel and a excavator.
  • Your timelines in history are all mixed up and don't match the pictures being shown!
  • Need to coordinate film with equipment description. This video was extremely difficult to follow.
  • @sequoyah59
    Never saw someone put such effort into the history and narration while being so lazy about the video composition and synchronizing it with the history.

    Definition of the word 'Insane', or 'Crazy': British English:- 'Exhibiting a severely disordered state of mind' American English:- 'Mildly interesting'.

    Cycle as many possible different pictures of random excavators. Great work loosing everybody within the first 2 minutes
  • @MitzvosGolem1
    Otis then Poclain . Two Italian brothers built first hydraulic excavator Poclain bought idea.
  • @rewardboy1
    Good job reading an article while cycling through random stock images. You could have been showing examples of the subject you were talking about.. drum clutches, shivs, blocks. But no just a random order of random pictures with no actual context to to what you were talking about other than them being industrial equipment
  • @itspart
    Please! The audio doesn't match the excavators your showing! It's all over the place... total crap!
  • My dad and uncle had a Koehring466. Now I have several Cat excavators
  • @rodc2678
    Random pictures, could not make it half way through
