Felipe II wanted to build an XXL channel from Madrid to Lisbon. Now the city has recovered it inspired by ancient Egypt

July 31, 2025 by usatoday24

When the workers are excavated in a city with the solera and patrimonial wealth of Madrid the ground can become a box of surprises. The team in charge of the expansion of Metro Line 11, which during its excavations at the future Madrid Rio station recently proved it. He found himself With a wall of the Real Canal del Manzanares, the Gran river path dreamed by Felipe II. The structure has value, that was clear from the beginning, but it was so delicate and was in such a complicated area that a doubt arose: how to rescue it? Simple: ‘Looking’ to Ancient Egypt. Underground Award. If Spanish architects know something, it is that when you hurt a shovel in a city and excavas enough it is not strange that archaeological remains begin to emerge. It has happened in the works of Expansion of line 11 of the Madrid Metro. A few months ago The operators who are responsible for horating the ground for the future underground network and the Madrid Rio station found more than rocks: they located remains of the Real Canal del Manzanares. Click on the image to go to Tweet. Curious yes, surprising no. The finding is interesting and will help us know better The old channeling who aspired to connect Madrid and Lisbon with barges, but did not catch off experts. “It has been no surprise to meet this section of the channel here,” I commented In spring a The country Archaeologist Esther Andreu. It is not the first finding in the environment and experts have been in charge of keeping tables and examining the area with laser scanners. What is the real channel? Maybe The craziest dream From Felipe II, that one day, back in the 16th century, he wondered why he could not have Madrid his own port with the Atlantic. Sounds macarronic, but what the monarch had in mind was to imitate the model of locks and channels he had seen In Flanders and create a river route that connected Madrid with Aranjuez and then continue through the Tagus to Lisbon … and America. The project, huge, required a 600 km navigable route capable of saving 650 m slope, as Pedro Gargantilla requires in ABC. With honey on the lips. The project advanced and In 1584 Felipe II himself came to travel from Madrid to Aranjuez to verify in situ the progress of the company. However, neither its real effort, nor that of the engineer behind the project, Juan Bautista AntonelliNor the implication of the monarchs that followed Felipe II on the throne (especially Carlos III) served to make the structure reach the size with which the Austria dreamed. Stayed in a channel of 22 kilometers of extension (far from the initial objective), 14 meters wide and three of draft, with ten locks, header, jetty and houses for workers. Against the project they played several factors, in addition to their considerable technical complexity. The first varapalo was the death of Antonelli in 1588, which happened complications with financing, the distancing Politician with Portugal and, already advanced time, in the 19th century, the growing competition of the railroad, which caused the infrastructure Stay in disuse. That did not prevent the Royal Channel from remembered as an emblematic project whose remains, as Metro has verified, continue to rest under the feet of Madrid. What to do with the remains? The million dollar question. The wall has a heritage and historical value, that is clear, so it would not be unreasonable to do the same as in other stations and expose the vestiges in Madrid Río itself. But one thing is to remove and handle wood remains, small stones or metal parts and a very different manipulate a structure of several tons. How to move it? How to get it out of its original site without destroying it? The questions are brought because, like Andreu explains in ABCin the unearthed section the Royal Channel was about nine meters wide and 1.5 deep. “It was not very deep, it passed parallel to the Manzanares channel. The water flowed because it was built at the same water table of the river,” he recalls. Before the Brete of having to move that huge structure without deteriorating it, those responsible for the project made a curious decision: ‘look’ to ancient Egypt. “A very complicated order”. The company perhaps scared other archaeologists, but not Miguel Ángel López Marcoswith extensive experience in the recovery of the colossi of Amenophis III in Luxor and that it has already been involved in the ‘rescue’ of other pieces of the Madrid heritage, such as The last vestiges from the San Gil barracks. That callus and previous knowledge have helped him to face the Real Canal project, a task that admits, it was not simple. “The commission was very complicated by the situation of the wall embedded in the tunnel and the characteristics of the fragile and mechanical resistance,” account. Metal cage and steel rollers. How did he solve it? The first conclusion reached by López Marcos is that “the extraction should be in block.” “Disassembly would cause the disintegration of the wall, which does not have the necessary consistency,” Clarify The expert before pointing out that conventional engineering lacks resources to “guarantee” the conservation of that kind of structures. It is nothing new. The same challenge has already been found in Egypt, where he can often resort to heavy machinery that facilitates the task. To solve it López Marcos and his companions had to pull ingenuity. The team designed a protective cage, a shield that allowed it to dig under the structure and dispose of a base with steel bars. Everything firm enough to endure a 14 tons structure. Hydraulic beams and cats allowed them to advance the operation and descend the remains of the wall at a sufficient height to move it to a crane truck. To facilitate the movement of the cage with the stones the team also handled steel rollers. Objective: … Read more

Two 19 -year -old kids put Spanish national security with a bot and a telegram channel. The reason: they bored themselves

July 4, 2025 by usatoday24

It happened a few days ago. The National Police had arrested two young people by the Data filtration of Pedro Sánchez and other high positions of the State. A massive filtration that, In police wordsis a “very serious threat to national security.” Behind all this there is no large group of perfectly coordinated hackers, only two 19 -year -old Canarian kids and a bot that they sold on Telegram. @Akkaspace and @pakito. They are the nicks of the two authors of the filtration. Yoel (Akkaspace), the main responsible, is a computer student and was arrested at his home on July 1. Next to him also stopped Pakito (Cristian), who was aware of his friend’s activities and would have participated in helping him promote them. Yesterday July 3 They were releasedalthough they are being investigated for an alleged crime of terrorism and will have to appear in the played twice a month. A bot. It is the tool they have used to extract the data. The bot was in charge of tracking previously compromised databases. That is, they have taken advantage of existing vulnerabilities in companies and institutions. In Declarations to Eldiariosecurity expert Rafael López, says they have used OSINT, OR INTELLIGENCE OF OPEN SOURCESand it has not been a hacking as such. Yoel himself said in an interview he gave on Twitch with his face covered: With a bot that I have, with which I have taken everything basically. I take databases, Indexo, and people, if you buy the bot, searching for a full name, a phone number or a ID, you can access all the information. This is how I have done politicians. Filtration. The investigation began weeks ago in Telegram. @Akkaspace and @pakito used a channel with more than 90,000 members to start spreading personal data from public figures, although later they were closed and used other more minority channels. In the beginning it only affected seven personalities, but little by little they were filtering more data, getting to involve the president of the Government himself. The data contained in the filtration includes birth dates, telephones, ID numbers and even homes, although some were apparently outdated. Motivation. “We are two boring kids,” said Yoel on Twitch, which denies that there is an ideological motivation behind the filtration. “And as the issue of corruption is being uncovered lately, why don’t we get the information from those politicians and publish it? It is a lesson,” he said. Although it is not clear what led him to filter the data, everything indicates that there would be an economic motivation. Yoel sold the databases and the bot itself with which it extracted the data, which it charged in Bitcoins. An undercover agent. This is how they hunt. The National Audience car includes that an undercover agent “has managed to buy from the investigated access to the database that sold for 60 euros that have been paid in Bitcoins. “The second investigated, Cristian or @Pakito would be in charge of managing the cryptocurrency portfolio where they received the payments, although it has not transcended how much they won.

Navigating from Madrid to Lisbon, the pharaonic real dream that gave rise to the failed Channel del Manzanares

March 22, 2025 by usatoday24

The Manzanares river in Madrid has become one of the protagonists of recent days. March is being an extremely rainy month, so much that it has caused Solar energy ceases to grow in Spainbut has also caused the River overflow throughout the country. One of those rivers is Manzanares, which is usually a thread of water and Now it’s a torrent. But the river has not only become news for the increase in flow, but because during the works of Metro line 11 they have found a section of the real historical channel of Manzanares, an ambitious project that It was centuries on the table and that had a target target: join Madrid, Lisbon and Seville by boat. Felipe II’s dream Felipe II It is not just one of the most remembered kings in Spain: it may also be from Europe. Under his reign, The Spanish Empire reached its peak And it was a monarch interested in finance projects of several sciences. He also liked the sea, starting maritime engineering projects, stimulating the creation of large warships and the most ambitious of all: the idea of making The main rivers of the peninsula were navigable. Another detail for which Felipe II is remembered is for the move of the capital of the country: he decided that Madrid would be the ideal location, so he transferred the court in full. But of course, Madrid did not have direct access to the sea and this was something important, especially for trade and those expansionist ambitionsso the project To open Madrid to the sea, he made eyes to the king. And the task fell into the hands of the Italian engineer Juan Bautista Antonelli. Nothing, something simple: Tajo, Duero, Guadalquivir and Ebro, among other rivers, would become navigable, with channels among them that would allow Madrid to have a way out of the sea and a river connection with some of the main cities of the country. For commerce, this was an extremely juicy idea between cities and between Madrid and European, Chinese, African and Indian cities. Fourth Lock of the Real Canal del Manzanares Felipe supported the project And he released funds to be carried out, but it was not going to be simple: a slope of more than 600 meters had to be saved and the necessary adjustments first to open Madrid and, later, that the 600 kilometers that separates the capital from the Atlantic coast were completely navigable. HE I would continue The route of the river and They would create 10 locks between the Toledo bridge and the Vaciamadrid jetty, many for a distance of just 20 kilometers. The capital would join with Aranjuez and, through the Tagus, it would have an exit to the Atlantic by Lisbon. A road was also projected to Seville. He did not set. Although the works are They started Among the Madrid and Alcantara Madrid nuclei, the money was not unlimited and the cocktail of technical difficulties, issues with private properties and, above all, The financing of the invincible Navycaused the money to be redistributed and the interior navigation project was saved in the drawer. He also influenced that, in 1588 Antonelli died and, in 1598, Felipe would. Madrid with double exit to the sea Later it was tried to recover, but the decisive moment came under the reign of Carlos III. Businessman Pedro Martinengo took the witness and presented In 1769 the project to recover the ambitious plan of Felipe II. The construction began in 1770 when Carlos III approved the proposal and the initial funds were in charge of Martinengo himself and private investors he had gathered. Under the direction of the businessman, the project advanced completing eight of the ten planned locks, but the costs were being tremendous and ran out of funds to continue. Martinengo had ruined, but Carlos III liked the projectso bought and thus officially became the Real Canal del Manzanares. The tenth lock Nor do we think that the monarch invested too much: he maintained what there was. Nor is it that he caught the economy at its most buoyant time and the river itself was not the most appropriate for navigation, since it needed water transvases to be able to operate correctly. Some companies were established, such as furnaces, but the channel was being underutilized. With Carlos IV, the thing didn’t improve either. Again, invested just as to maintain it, But in 1799 the disaster arrived: strong rains took part of the Gasco dam, a new construction on the Guadarraman that was the one that was taking the money. Another lock This set of misfortunes, and seeing that the Manzanares channel had been stagnant decades without contributing what was promised, caused the abandonment of the project until the arrival of a Fernando VII who tried to recover it, building the ninth and tenth lock and carrying the work until the vicinity of Vaciamadrid. But the work was not finished. Progress arrived Upon stopping, the channel was degrading, but the last nail in the coffin was the passage of time. In the time of Felipe II, the project could make sense. With Carlos III too, but already entered the 19th, things had changed a lot. The development of roads and, above all, the arrival of the railroad made the priorities change. Why keep investing a fortune to open Madrid to the sea when there were faster than the ship to transport goods? Apart from what The Manzanares channel looked like a money background wellin 1851 the Aranjuez train was inaugurated and, although with Isabel II some boats had sailed through the channel, in the second half of the 19th century it was decided to cut the tap of the funds. When not staying and being water is for a long time, health problems began to appear. The channel became a danger and, although maintenance work began again, around 1860 it was decided Cancel Definitely the pharaonic project. The irony: the railway bridge over the Manzanares … Read more

Issue ‘The Simpsons’ during the 24 hours 365 days a year on an exclusive channel

March 19, 2025 by usatoday24

Disney has announced the launch of a stream In Disney+ of ‘The Simpsons‘: 24 hours, seven days a week of broadcasting of the 35 seasons that so far the series has completed. It will be almost 300 hours, 767 episodes of the most popular series in the history of television, although for now it does not seem that the thing will leave the United States. It doesn’t matter: the important thing is that, above celebrations of the enormous of the legacy of the Fox series, it makes clear in which mirror, apparently outdated, the industry of the streaming. An idea as simple as symbolic. Who may want to sit down to see the episodes of ‘The Simpsons‘In chronological order? Since 2020 the episodes are released in Disney+ a few hours after their broadcast in Fox, and of course, the 36 -year historical of the series is available on the platform. But more with ‘The Simpsons’ than with any other series, the nostalgia effect works perfectly. Or do we not remember all those views at noon in Antena 3 of the golden age of the animation series? Visted in which, until the last Mommto, it was not very clear what episode we were going to see. It is not the only stream. Since September of last yearDisney+ is experiencing in the United States (although at no time they close completely to an export to other countries) with the continuous issuance of different types of stream. It is, on the one hand of selections of content of the platform, plus some live programming: they opened the experiment with ABC News Live, a preschool content playlist, Playlists Seasonal that have been rotating in times such as Christmas or Halloween, selections from the company’s success franchises (Marvel, Star Wars, Disney), a Playlist of classic and nostalgic content and another dedicated to documentaries, biopics and realities. The Xanadú of Linear Television. This Disney+ experiment is not complete Its inauguration in 2020: Netflix Direct. Behind all this, and from this new proposal of Disney+, a clear objective: escape from the saturation sensation That the immense catalog of the platforms place before us. Before the infinite choice syndrome, not choose at all. Nostalgia when TV was good. And as we said above, there is also some nostalgia for the times when our favorite weekly series was an event. Or that we always see the same series, as happened with ‘The Simpsons’, ‘The Prince of Bel-Air’ or other midday sitcom imposed some routines where we were very far from feeling saturated because there was too much to do. What was there, without more, and the nostalgia of those simpler times is also behind these decisions. The resilience of the usual TV. A recent study He claimed that more than half of the Europeans still had traditional television as a primary destination for their television hours, partly because of the customs acquired after years in front of the device. It is just another example of how old customs remain, or at least they transform: the Amazing growth of fast channels (To which this Simpson stream could belong if it were independent of Disney+), with 1900 linear channels in the US in 2024 compared to only 1,000 in 2023 it is good proof: we are not yet prepared to abandon the old customs, and ‘The Simpsons’ will try to benefit from it.
