    This is amazing. We could have conquered the stars by now, or at least colonized the Moon and Mars. Instead, we have niggers and the third world inside our borders and support them with our space race $$$.

        So why do ancient concrete structures exposed to salt water or excavations of their ancient buildings still show like they were just built with very little wear? Look at the brick wall in the link provided by Sanders. Their solution versus modern construction? Simply add volcanic ash. Ancient engineers found adding ash to the concrete makes their builds last literally forever.

              I had no idea the Romans knew how to weld. They also had to understand the pressure that builds in a water heater and design one that would not blow up. I also did not know that they had complex valves. Amazing!

                Romans were so advanced, they even made taking a shit a social event. No, but seriously, they were pretty good at solving problems just look at some of the stuff still standing after 2,000 years. Take a walk in Rome and you freak out at the stuff they had.
                Sometimes I wish I had a Harry Potter's wand and make people go up into smoke.

                  Like the aqueducts still standing in good shape bringing clean water into the cities. Their amphitheaters not just thrown together but planned well so sound is conveyed well through the entire theater.
                  Then sadly along came greed and corruption and those damn barbarians started closing in. The coliseums built for entertainment and to keep the citizens occupied so they did not notice the govt. falling apart around them. Sound familiar? 😉
