Ancient Tenochtitlan (before it became Mexico) was more developed than many countries in Europe when the Spaniards conquistadors first visited the place. Too bad that we don't have any videos from that era. Only accounts from the conquistadors themselves such as this one: "It was like the enchantments in the book of Amadis, because of high towers, rues [pyramids] and other buildings, all of masonry, which rose from the water. Some of the soldiers asked if what they saw was not a dream". The city had aqueducts and its more than 200,000 inhabitants bathed daily. Which was one small detail that impressed the Spaniards since apparently they didn't take a shower very often. LOL

And many places were far more advanced too

As India the significant remaining. I am not surprised in Bali 2012 I had a bizarre experience meeting one of my Ancestors from another realm, out of common people logic spiritual understanding. As surrounding of Bali's 4 mountains, is Gate 7 of Earth's Chakra 7th which is Mount Kailash Tibet. Called Hindia, Indus, Indo (also Indo Europe and Indo Persia), Indonesia means Indo Nesos, Indo Islands, exactly on center of Equator line. Richest nature on entire world. Most humid yet stable weather all year around, alway sunrise at 6 AM to sunset 6 PM. Sumatra means Sumer/Summer/Sun/Gold + Tera/Terre/Earth/Land = Mother of Sumeria. The highest humidity and with so many volcanoes than anywhere in the world made the things decaying easily, worldwide still don't know about our oldest ancient civilization before the massive eruption of Toba 74000 years ago resulted today world's larget crater lake, volcanic Toba lake with width around 100 kilometers. As our Ancestors were even much more advanced than us today and flee towards today Europe, Middle East, America escaped the eruption larger than Yellowstone USA. #Indonesia #Atlantis Minangkabau, Batak, Sumatra, Indonesia Minangkabau Sumatra = Minoan Europe Batak Sumatra = Batak Bulgaria Egypt isn't oldest civilization. But Indonesia. Bit by bit the veils are uplifted, limited knowledge of present world is incomplete and inaccurate. Including how they west and middle east has been drawing Indonesia too small on world map especially since Mercator 1569 while should be almost as wide as Russia. Majority of people don't even know that our Ancestors technology was much more advanced than us now. They don't know anything about human civilization before 74,000 years ago the massive eruption of supervolcano Toba on Sumatra shaped today world's largest crater lake on earth. Toba is bigger than Yellowstone USA. Again, present education worldwide has very limited knowledge, based on their limited nature. Our Ancestors knew about the eruption before it happened and migrated towards West; Middle East, Europe and America. The fact is Indonesia center of the world, richest nature in whole world on center of earth's Equator line, is the root not the other way round. Biblical/Alquran/Koran stories including about Adam and Eve are just metaphorical fairytales in fact all those religious stuff are just fairytales. Religion = Region rely on legion and legislation.

This train system is still the backbone of public transport in Wuppertal today, although they are out of service for a massive overhaul at present due to problems with the latest train model they had put in service.

@@ayapotato7429 Yes, the Schwebebahn ist still there and it is still working.

@@ayapotato7429 There was and is only one line there, but the network is extremely prone to failure due to the new technical equipment. The new vehicles are very unreliable in operation. In addition, the conventional railway signal system was replaced by a new GPS system, which very often does not work. The new vehicles, which are only five years old, are already showing extremely heavy wear. The maximum speed of the network therefore had to be greatly reduced, which is why the vehicles are incredibly loud when driving slowly. Due to these technical problems, the line is currently only operated on weekends. A rail replacement bus service is offered on all other days of the week. Interesting fact: In almost 120 years of operation, there was only one severe accident that resulted in serious injuries and deaths. On April 12 1999, a track construction company forgot to dismantle a derailer (a component for track maintenence work) on the tracks. The first train in the morning hit the steel component at a speed of 50 km/h (~31 mph) and fell from a height of almost 10 meters. Five people died and 47 people were seriously injured. Incidentally, that was the only time so far that such a train has derailed.

People used to draw on paper a lot. Paper, pencil and logarithmic ruler is just enough for the huge steam machine, first jet engine or Eiffel tower. Who needs computers?

Finding the Route was pretty simple. Most of the Track is just above the River. Wuppertal badly needed a Rapid Transit System in the late 19th Century but didn't have Space for a normal Train or Tram. So they chose the only available Place which is over the River. That's also the Reason they built a suspended Monorail which would be a pretty crappy System anywhere else.

Because it was before the socialist/fascist influenced movement called "modernism" (Bauhaus, Le Corbusier etc). A set of dogmas that rule over most architects and city planners to this day.

@Wil Sain Not on Mussolini or the Italian fascists per se, but on a similar totalitatian mentality as the fascists, communists and national socialists all had. Bauhaus was a totally leftist school, and Le Corbusier showed appreciation and admiration for these non democratic movements.

But only on the main streets, once you go into the alleyways it becomes a completely different story. Then again, that's the same today but even our main streets are trashy

Fascinating.

That has always been the story, but the car was full of reporters and nobody took a picture. There is only photographic evidence of a damaged car and later of a young elephant on the banks of the Wupper. The river is extremely shallow at that time of year and runs over stony ground. Wikipedia give the depth of the water as some 50cm, which sounds about right, but describes the location as muddy, which I doubt, though I don't remember it well enough to be able to swear to it, having last seen it 40 years ago. So I believe, as I have believed since my Wuppertal relatives told me the story over half a century ago, that this is a lot of hype, that Tuffi damaged the car while trying to get out before the train had even left the platform and that the attempted journey was then abandoned. Sensationalism is the business of the real circus and the media circus, so I think that Althoff and the reporters embellished the story. Think about it: Even a cat will rarely escape serious injury in a fall from such a height. (Though, knowing the location, I reckon that 12 meters are an exaggeration, too - the German version of the Wikipedia article gives the height as ca. 10m, which appears more accurate.) It is beyond belief, that an elephant should survive such a fall. Would a car dropped from that height just need a new bumper? Many years ago, I urged Mythbusters to check the story experimentally, but unfortunately the series ended without the subject being investigated.

Same elephant was brought to the city hall of my hometown Oberhausen and got so upset there that she pissed all over the floor in front of the mayor. I suppose you can’t hold that against her.

Tuffi rocks the house.

Germans were very good at restoring bombed cities to their old glory. I've been to Rothenburg ob der Tauber last year and it was hard to believe that a large part of the city had been destroyed in an air raid in 1945. The restored part looked just like the part that that was spared.

Depends on what one considers as beautiful. You mean the landscape and architecture ? Sure that was nice. At least from our perspective. Life was certainly a lot quieter and slower paced as today but also a lot harder. An outdated monarchical system deeply embedded in a bubble of neo-imperialism and militarism with an ever increasing social class division slowly eroding its pillars. Pretty much the same as in most european countries at that time.

@Daan Schlüter Russia before 1917 was a country where 95% of the population were in villages. Villages in the bad meaning. Peasants were slaves till 1861 and then they were enslaved again by terrifying obligatory loans by the government. And after 1991 it's still the richest country in the world with the highest poverty level in Europe, with a kleptocratic dictatorship. And the communism isn't the reason. The reason is lack of the democratic principles in heads.

Schwebebahn never had month lasting technical issues that caused a complete stop of traffic, but since they had to check the whole track a few years ago because of the first accident (part of the steel beams fell on a nearby road) in many years, there are problems constantly, now they pretty much overhaul the whole track, which is taking itse time.

@@timrohrbach1801 its down for about a year

Sad to hear that the Schwebebahn will be out of service for as long as a year (I was going to write 'traffic will be suspended for a year" but it was too much of a pun. :) ).

Oh awesome, thanks for the fact, so is it still in use till today? Is it efficient?

@@adzamkaulana9343 Sure, they have to use it. There is no much space in this town in narrow walley. So they need to use city transport just above the river.

Meine Oma ist 1900 in einer der zerstörten Straßen geboren, sie erzählte oft von ihrer Kindheit in Elberfeld, und natürlich von der Schwebebahn. Ich kann es kaum fassen, daß der elende KZfaq-Algorithmus mir gerade diesen einen Blick in ihre Kindheit serviert hat...

mickimicki ,Hey, ich bin auch zufällig darauf gestoßen... Ich habe in Elberfeld in meiner frühen Kindheit gelebt.

That's amazing and very sad at the same time.

This is such a nice comment. 😊 Stopping and appreciating the present is so important in this hectic world.

That’s because as Tom Scott explained, they are unnecessary and only add extra cost when you can just have a normal train

@@noritos7648 Because the USA has been decreasing it, The usa had better public transit at the time

@Hasanal Fzl K

Früher gab es auch die Kaiserbahn kann man Heut zu Tage noch fahren.

@Clinical Depression ... Reminds me of the Schwerer Gustav. Impressive but had high cost, took 5 man to load a cannon and was a sitting target for bomber planes.
