Kristal... this is interesting. Thanks for sharing this. I have always been amazed at construction and how buildings are built. Just the other day I was watching something on the History channel and it talked about the old pulleys that were built to help build certain types of buildings. Sorry, I can't remember in what era or who they were talking about. But what was interesting is that some of the scientists on this project still couldn't figure out how some of these bldgs or gizmo's were built.

2 nd... I was just in NYC this weekend and I loved looking at the buildings, the bridges, and just how everything was built. I'll be doing a blog on this tomorrow, after taking some pics.

Last..,... one of the most fascinating classes that I ever had was a class in college. It was the history of Landscape Architecture. Extremely interesting on how some of the cities were built way back then. 

Kristal....  my pleasure. You have shown a flair at capturing some awesome pictures, so I enjoy those posts. Mitchell Hall?  I like reading some of his, since he lives in Manhattan and does a lot of local posts with buildings and the architecture.  I like some of the posts that Carole Cohen and Teresa Boardman have done, because of their local content about the bridges and transportation issues. And last, reading Ines Hegedus-Garcia's posts because she was an Architect.

Overall... yes, I am amazed as you stated, with the things that were built by the ancient people...  not just the Romans and Egyptians....  I have learned so much from the History channel.
