The Suez canal??? Do you mean that it was made not entirely by humans but also with steam shovels?
In 1858, Ferdinand de Lesseps formed the Suez Canal Company for the express purpose of building the canal. Construction of the canal lasted from 1859 to 1869. The canal officially opened on 17 November 1869.
