| Video Discription | One of the best legacies of the ancient world is the Roman aqueducts. Ancient Rome's main waterways were called aqueducts. They brought fresh water from the mountains into the cities to make fountains, baths, and drinking water. Before the Romans, aqueducts had been used by the Egyptians and the Indians. But the Romans were the first people to make them so significant. Across the whole Roman Empire, the Romans built over 200 aqueducts to bring fresh running water to their many cities. Having a water supply became a status symbol for the empire, showing how advanced and well-off it was. Now the question is, how did Roman aqueducts work? The Romans achieved a regular and shallow slope over the area by installing underground pipes and creating siphons. This allowed them to transport water in a constant flow. Workers dug winding tunnels and constructed networks of water pipes to carry water from the lake or basin that served as the source to the city of Rome. This was accomplished by transporting the water deep into the ground. However, when the government provided adequate cash, lead pipes were utilized instead of concrete pipes to create the pipelines. In most situations, the channels were constructed out of concrete. The valley had to be crossed by the lines. Therefore the construction team buried a siphon beneath the surface of the ground. This siphon was built into the ground in the form of a large depression, and it was designed in such a way that it allowed water to descend at such a rapid rate that it gained enough momentum to proceed uphill. Siphons are an integral part of the system that is responsible for the flushing action of toilets. secrets, rome, ancient rome, forbidden, monuments, horrifying, terrifying, horrible discovery, dangerous, Emperors, conquests, expansion, rome war, ancient kingdom, roman empire, collapse, caeser, the colosseum, Republic, Nero, geese, plebeians, legions, incredible civilizations, rich empire, architecture, art, science, roman military, bloody punishments, pompeiian, roman slaves, ottoman, harems of ottoman sultans, Julius Caesar, 65 million inhabitants, latin, roman law, king of Pontus, Vespasian, Bathhouses, history, warrior, gladiator, Naked Statues, Fat Gladiators, War Elephants, ancient greek, aqueducts, amazing aqueducts, fresh water, practical engineering, transport water, Qc9FRYOuxBE |
