Fascinating video. I had no idea such a huge engineering project was undertaken to expand the canal. Thanks for posting.

The video is quite good, but I sure wish people could make history videos without the very annoying dramatic background “music.” It’s done in the History Channel fashion. It would be nice if they could tone it down and use the Ken Burns approach.

Interesting. I was wondering how much of the dredged up sand went to China for them to build their off shore military bases now being used as Airfarce and Naval Bases for their anticipated attack on Taiwan?

The Suez literally is just a big ditch. There are no locks because it's a sea-level canal.

The French hired a guy named Ferdinand de Lesseps to build it. And and he did such a great job that they also hired him to dig the Panama canal. The problem was, Panama didn't have the geology to support a sea level canal, which was all de Lesseps knew how to do. But what it did have were mosquitoes. And malaria. And yellow fever. And de Lesseps was out of his depth.

22,000 workers died from mosquito-borne diseases and construction accidents. So the French gave up.

The US took over, hiring Walter Reed to fix the mosquito problem and a series of engineers with solid track records on large projects to do the digging.

The French wasted 18 years in the attempt and the US finished the job in half that.
