There are many ``movies that build a house in a primitive way without using heavy machinery'' on the Internet, but the movie that can be said to be the origin of those movies is `` Bare Hands'' released by the YouTube channel `` Primitive Technology '' in 2015. A movie that prepares tools and builds a splendid roofed house . The contents of the movie are summarized in detail in the following article.

The above movie released by Primitive Technology has received a lot of attention, and at the time of writing the article, it has been played more than 80 million times. Also, Primitive Technology has reached 10.7 million subscribers.

After the great success of Primitive Technology, many movies with the content of 'building a house in a primitive way' have been posted on YouTube. However, it is said that there are many buildings that are clearly created by methods other than 'primitive methods' in the posted movies.

Some of the posted architectural movies build 'houses with pools' as follows.

However, the water in the pools that appear in those movies often has a deep blue color that does not seem to spring out in the natural world, and Primitive Technology complains, ``Why is the color of the water blue?'' is presenting.

Also, most of the `` movies that build houses in a primitive way '' are structured to appeal that they were built by a small number of people, but this point also contains a lie.

For example, the picture below shows a worker in white clothes.

In addition, in the video taken from the sky of the shooting site of 'a movie that builds a house in a primitive way', the appearance of workers working on the site is recorded.

SunnyV2 succeeded in contacting the former filming staff of 'a movie that builds a house in a primitive way'.

As a result of sending questions to the former film crew, it became clear that most buildings were built in a short period of 3 to 10 days.

On the other hand, Primitive Technology replied that it was built in about 100 days. From this, it can be seen that the construction period of the trailing force is too short.

The reason why the construction period of the trailing force is very short is that the construction is done using equipment that does not appear in the movie. The use of equipment that does not appear in the movie is remarkable in the digging scene below.

In the movie, it is expressed as 'a man is digging with a stick', but on the right side of the screen there are traces that do not match the width of the stick held by the man.

There are also traces of large tires or endless tracks on the ground.

In addition, SunnyV2 also focuses on the scene of 'starting fire'. In the case of Primitive Technology, small pieces of wood and large branches are lined up and carefully lit.

However, in the trailing movie, the fire was caused by a doubtful method of `` striking the stones to ignite them and bringing them closer to the branches of the tree ''.

Also, in the chasing movie, a scene of 'making something like concrete to fix the pillar to the ground' appears.

However, SunnyV2 asserts that ``it looks like just muddy water''.

There is also the problem that the cut surfaces of the wood and bamboo used for the pillars are too clean.

In the case of Primitive Technology, it is cut down by the method of `` knocking down a tree cut with a stone tool '' as follows. In other words, if you do not rely on metal instruments, it is unnatural for the cut surfaces to be neatly aligned.

In addition, the evidence that determines the lie of the trailing force is as follows. This movie shows how bamboo is used to draw water into the pool of the built house.

However, viewers who visited the site sent evidence photos that ``a plastic pipe was left behind.''

After the above accusation movie was released, Primitive Technology left a comment, 'Thank you for telling me, SunnyV2.'
