Supposedly, Saddam Hussien advertized with an offer of reward to anyone
that could recreate the pump that lifted water up for the hanging gardens of
Babylon. Perhaps the easiest way would have been use catch basins at approx 16
ft change in elevation to catch the drip from cotton wicks.
Correct, the pyramids are a work of art and engineering. In the discussion,
I have yet to read an account of .. HOW the peak was located. The base
layout is one thing.. but calculating the center at the elevation of the point
is another.
Did I read recently that a ground glass lense was discovered in one of the
tombs?
The Incas had a sure fire method of building a " straight " highway. They
set up night flares and sharp eyes could detect when a staff was passed across
the flame at some incredible distances.
