Venice Floats on a Hidden Forest

Описание: Venice shouldn't exist. Massive stone palaces floating on water, it defies logic. Whether you look at the 10 million tree trunks hiding underground or the 1500 years of survival against the odds, this city is an engineering miracle.

How do you build a heavy marble city on soft mud? The secret isn't in the gold above, but in the wood below. We dive into the year 452 AD to reveal how refugees escaping Attila the Hun turned a swamp into the richest city on Earth using a forgotten engineering trick. Discover the physics of "petrification" that stops the wood from rotting and learn why Venice was the original engineering marvel of the ancient world.

Plus, we test the best modern gear to help you survive the crowds and pickpockets in today's Venice.
