Star forts are really effective. People build what is effective.

No blind spots, overlapping fire on every side. Not a small hat thing, just a tactically sound design that has been used for centuries.

I guess the ancients of the world shouldn’t have known about the star shape?

It’s roughly a “fort vauban”

After Millenia being ruled by warlords you eventually design a fort that’s better than all forts before it.

Good news, it actually does make sense 😄 I looked up every fort in this clip. Each one has a documented builder and construction date, and the star shape was just the best military design of the cannon era. Breakdown below 👇 Goryōkaku, Hakodate, Japan. The Tokugawa shogunate built it to plans by the scholar Takeda Ayasaburō, who based them on European fort designs. Work ran from 1857 to 1864. Citadel of Jaca, Spain. King Philip II ordered it built near the French border. The Italian engineer Tiburcio Spannocchi designed it, and work began in 1592. Fort Morgan, Gulf Shores, Alabama. The video shows its coordinates (30°13'43.8"N 88°01'24.8"W) instead of a name. The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers built it between 1819 and 1834, and much of the work was done by enslaved laborers. It guarded the entrance to Mobile Bay and is famous from the 1864 Battle of Mobile Bay ("Damn the torpedoes!"). Castillo de San Marcos, St. Augustine, Florida. The Spanish built it from 1672 to 1695, designed by engineer Ignacio Daza. It was built from coquina, a local shell stone, largely by Native American laborers. The video only shows its map pin for a moment before moving on. Karlsvärd Fortress, on Enholmen island near Slite, Gotland, Sweden. Again only coordinates are shown (57°41'43.2"N 18°49'17.5"E). Governor Anders Sparrfelt started building it in 1711. The red star at the end was drawn on by whoever made the video, not something visible in the satellite image.
