The Greeks did a lot and that cannot be denied, but the Romans did more.  But, there is a reason that the 'classicists' of history study the Greek and Roman times.

If I had to make a comparison, I would be inclined to say that the Greeks were scientists and the Romans were engineers.

The aqueducts first appeared between 690- 1000 B.C. commissioned by King Sennacherib of Assyria to supply Nineveh, actually.

Many of the Roman aqueducts are still around to look at today.  How many of these others can say they stood the test of time?

He must not have done a very good job.

You're right. I confused God with the Marines.

I believe parts of the city have been reconstructed (including that gate).  It looks like they are fixing the stone road in that pic as well.

Cosmetic surgery, Double pane glass, plumbing, stadiums, apartments.... the list goes on.


Watched the whole documentary on Discovery a while back. Very informative.

Corruption, obviously.
