Have you been to the Eiffel Tower? Do you know other interesting facts about it?😊👇
Well someone decided to jump off the first floor with wings, unfortunately he died just a little bit before the floor collision. The floor collision was really bad.
honesly i havent been there but thier has been people with rediculious ideas going there with crazy ideas.
I have been there
Yes, only once buy hoping to go back one day.
I believe the tower was sold as part of a scam a couple times.
Fun fact: Guy de Maupassant, a famous French writer, hated so much the Eiffel Tower he ate there every day and when some people asked him why does he do this his answer was: "it's the only place from where i can't see it" Just wanted to point that out cause i found that kind of funny Awesome video man!
Lmao 🤣🤣🤣
“我饿死也不会吃你的饭！”。。。。。。 “真好吃”😂
@@ferdnandowang2688 shut up bat virus
I mean, I guess he can't see it?
Haha even is true, great answer from Maupassant. ^^
The Eiffel tower is truly inspirational to look at.
Such a cool vid. You taught me a lot about the Eiffel Tower
I was skeptical about your content, but a lot of what you teac is very informative and really helps me to add story and history to ideas or storied I create. I'm still pretty new so only a select genre of your videos will be watched by me, but keep your story story man.
You make nice videos
During the construction time, because two pillars were too close to the Seine river, Eiffel used "caissons" (metal large boxes) with compressed air, allowing the worker to dig under the river level (while the caisson was sunk progressively ) to reach solid ground for the foundations. Also, during the erection of the first floor, Eiffel used hydraulic pistons to adjust precisely the position of each pillar before ther could be joined by this first floor.
i went to Paris last year summer, the ET really need some heavy maintenance I’m not kidding
I think they will for Olympic game
One detail of the tower that is gone today are the decorative scallops that stood on the roofline of the facade on the first level. They were very much a visual element of the 19th century and gave it a little bit of whimsy. Sadly they were removed in a shortsighted effort to "update" the tower in the 1930s when Modernist architecture was the new trendy fad. They are a useful visual clue for Eiffel Tower collectors when they are determining an age for things like souvenir models. In my opinion, removing those decorative scallops was akin to removing a lacy fringe that beautified a dress. The end result would be a dress that was still graceful, but lost some of its beauty.
You can thank Marconi's radio for saving the tower. It gave the tower a reason to exist. In 1985 I visited Paris on an American dependent tour. My sister was in Germany in the US Air Force. We got as close as the parking lot. I picked up a small rock from the parking lot and then we went on our river boat cruise. I was impressive to see even from the parking lot.
Such a beautiful monument, been seeing it since I was a kid as I tend to visit Paris quite often and in-fact just came back from Paris a week ago. I used to enjoy walking under it the most but unfortunately that's been ruined with the amount of security measures that has been installed since 2016.
If they got rid of the tower, Paris would probably not have as much tourists.
Probabil spui tu ,totuși Parisul rămîne Paris ,cu sau fără turn.
Here you have a *rock solid* piece of master engineering.
*0:18** i remembered the meme xD, nobody nose xD*
I love the Eiffel tower
Paris France is the best place on earth
Debatable
Without the french african of course It will be a beautiful place , hélas
@@Moles6910 the Paris Eiffel Tower was built by African slaves
That’s called a great country to live better. Any people has the right to have a better life.
so nice!! thank you💯
There really wouldn't be a Paris without the Eiffel Tower in my opinion .
the building looks cool
Thanks a lot
Great👍
I was there in '98 and only went to the second level. Had I known about the apartment, I would have gone all the way.
well done !
Thank you so very much.
Thank you
Thanks I learned something today!
Ty for posting this video like your videos ❤
ty for watching :D
@@MegaBuildsYT your welcome 😊
Cool information
I've watched your videos for a long time and am never un impressed.
In 1912 parachute inventer frans reikfeltfellt leaped to his death testing his design
Reichel I think is his last name
Back in the 1960's the Mayor of Montreal Canada, talked to de Gaulle about "Borrowing" the Eiffel Tower for Expo 67, the Worlds Fair, being held that year in Montreal!
She will always be with us...
I was waiting for you to say something about the 'lookalike' Eiffel towers around the world. Las Vegas and many other places.
There is a really cool Eiffel Tower Lego set with 10,000 pieces
It's actually 10,001 pieces.
@@TheRocco96 I know, I said 10,000, simpler for people who aren't Lego fans
@@TheRocco96 No, 10,000 actually, since the last one is a brick separator.
The elffel tower seems amazing tho tickets are very expensive i hope i get atleast got to paris one day
재미있어요
Your French pronunciation was spot on, keep up the great work
Not spot on but good for the average American
Happy Easter!

the eiffel towers antenna made it taller than the chrystler building in 1957
Fact: The Weight of the Air from the Cylinder surrounding the Tower is heavier than the tower itself.
cooles video. Bis gleichelkäse!
First!
Almost! 😅
one thing is false, we know today that Dietrich Von Choltitz did not have the means in material and men to carry out the destruction of Paris, moreover the French resistance already held many districts of Paris....the war being lost he did not want to put his responsibility at stake...it was more out of obligation than out of his will that he had to resolve to abandon this crazy project.
How long is it How do u feel when u are on it
Safe
Censorship is lame
I was up there last week. We had an amazing French Onion Soup in the restaraunt and did manage to get to the summit for a glass of wine. The views are amazing! Coming from construction I believe it’s is time for all the old paint to be stripped off down to the steel. The rust should be treated on the entire structure. The steel need to then be primed and painted. This will take time and money but that’s what needs to be done for it to last the test of time. The loss of income is what will hold this prices up but it is still what needs to be done ASAP !!!!!
Don’t worry about it. In terms of money everything is fine for the Eiffel Tower, being the most visited paid monument in the entire world it’s earning a lot. And about the structure rusting and the paint you don’t have to worry too, cause the engineers know well what they have to do to keep it in good shape. It’s just an esthetic problem, if they don’t repaint it every year there is a good reason about it, it’s because the ratio: cost on benefit isn’t interesting, so they calculated the time they can let the paint fade before it causes any structural damage and they need to change it. Believe it’s their work they know better than us what they are doing.
Watch the achievements that are about to be partially completed in the Red Sea Islands project and the Sandala Island project, and start completing the infrastructure for the Qiddiya project, the largest entertainment city in the world, and the Diriyah project, the largest cultural city in the world, which will bring pleasure to tourists if Saudi Arabia wins Expo 2030
Lower volume of music please. Or better; remove :)
13:15 Not the real one…
Happy Easter 🐣 To All
Happy easter🐣
I think the tower will collapse in a 1000 years
Gusto ko maka agto sa France pero dili ko kaagto kay wala koy kwarta para mag bayad sa ticket sa eroplano😩
Pyramids in 1900s: We exist.
What about a conman that sold it, twice?
Working non stop 10 hour days no lunch even if they started putting in rivets day 1 thats 5 rivets a minute. That alone is ridiculous, they are hiding something about the construction of this.
Well I have not but my nanny has she went to the top Flor and called us
I like the Eiffel tower but I prefer blackpool tower
You must be fu$&ing kidding me, there is no point of comparison.

Too bad the Lego Eiffel Tower isn’t very sturdy…
I mean your voice AI
Just like the story of the twin towers 😢
The only thing "shocking" about this is the clickbait title. 👎👎👎👎👎👎 Everyone has known about these for decades.
I have 80mil for whoever can build me this thing.
😂❤ 🎉😅😊❤❤❤🎉
There is something they are not telling us about this, there is no fucking way this was done in 2 years with horse drawn carriage
Never understood the fascination of spending thousands of dollars to go see a rusted metal tower
It's not rusted..,
@@annelliott3810 umm its still a metal tower
One of the most iconic structures in the world. On a par with anything anywhere.
@@mrelano65 Overrated
