The video doesn't show all the people doing all the work, likely from dawn till dusk. It was all man- and animal-powered. Construction, for example, is incredibly hard work even with modern tools, and they had none of those. That we can live comfortably with all the modern amenities on 40 hours a week, which for many is just sitting in a chair, typing text, is really good. I'm not bashing office workers here, btw. Could definitely work less, maybe the push for shorter work days will gain traction.
