An animation of how bridges were built in Central Europe in the middle-ages.

Oh, it’s an actual structure. If you listen to progressives nowadays, building bridges is nothing but hugs and discussing feelings.
Interesting, being able to visualize the complete process.
My first question was “how did they drive the piles?”. Someone answered that as well with this link in the comments about the building of Venice (it also answers how wooden piles have lasted over 500 years!).
I wish there were an animation of how the Anji Bridge was built c. 600 A.D. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Anji_Bridge
It is consisted of a single span of 123 ft over a river with no central pier, rising to a height of only 24 ft, with a total length of 167 ft and a width of 31 ft. It is still in use today. It is built entirely of stones which are fitted perfectly to allow it to survive fourteen centuries of eight wars, and numerous floods an earthquakes. Besides being functional, it is aesthetically beautiful.
