So much of the architure of the ancient world is quite marvelous. They did things by hand that we could not even imagine doing without the help of computer calculation and massive machinery. It makes you think just how much knowledge was lost during the opening years of the Dark Ages, how much further our societies achievements might be at this point if not for barbarians invasions destroying the civilized world. How much did the Romans and Greeks know before the ruthless and brutal Huns and Germans arrived at the gates. I fully intend to explore this topic at a later date.
