@perezbrenna: While I work on a longer series, please enjoy ONE OF THE COOLEST THINGS IN THE WORLD: The Aqueduct of Segovia, built nearly 2000 years ago by the Romans. No matter how many times I’ve seen this thing, I’m still awestruck by the engineering marvel. #History #explained #spain #storytime #architecture
If they are not using it anymore, it should be taken down

In use until 1973! That means there was an unbroken lineage (until recently) of engineers maintaining and inspecting it. It would be wild to be responsible for a bit of roman design still in use.

I have no words because it just reinforced my idea that technology has made us less innovative

What did the Roman’s ever do for us? Clean water? Yeah but what else? Sanitation? Yeah but what else? Paved roads? Yeah but …..

I didn’t realize “rio” literally means “river.” The Rio Grande is literally named “Big River” in Spanish 😆

if humanity had progressed in a straight line here, we'd be living on other planets by now.

One of my favorite programs on PBS is Secrets of the Dead and they have an episode about Roman aqueducts. The genius of ancient civilizations is incredible.

for some reason, it being in use until 1973 seems crazier than no cement or mortar

We have one in Obidos in Portugal. Not quite as tall, and not quite as old (1500s) but still really impressive! The one in Lisbon is also impressive, built in the 1700s.
