But like… how did they even do the first step of ramming the wood piles into a deep ass river without big machinery of some kind?

Sledgehammers (or similar) and lots and lots of manpower I'd guess. It's how they made it watertight before they drained it I'm interested in

It doesn't need to be fully watertight. The rate of water passing into the dry area only needs to be lower than the rate you can pump it out.
