When the Titanic began its fateful voyage, it weighed about 52,000 tons. Now, how did they even get it into the water in the first place? Step 1, find tons of soap and natural fat. Step 2, dump it all over the ramp in front of the Titanic. They even put grease all over the outside of the ship, to make sure it didn’t get scratched, dented, or even rip open. Just like that, the Titanic plopped softly into the water and the workers and owners breathed a sigh of relief. When they built the Aswan Dam in Egypt, they needed to clear out a huge area for the new artificial lake. Almost 100,000 people had to move out of their homes! That was the easy part. But engineers also had to try to move 2 huge ancient Egyptian temples, or they’d be lost underwater forever. So what did they do? Let's find out! Today, we'll tell you about the most epic transport operations in history and the biggest things ever to be transported by sea or moved on the road. #brightside TIMESTAMPS:
