FYI Roman's didn't exist 4000 years ago 😄😜
So yeah, timing off by errrrr quite a lot but have you seen the research on cement mix and how Roman cement was effectively self healing and we can’t do as well now? That’s pretty cool shit
I didn't know that but for sure Roman's were great engineers. A lot of knowledge from those times and before is lost. Library of Alexandria for eg. Whatever the fuck is beneath the vatican also.
Look it up (I’d try to find but late, beer and whisky are quite frankly impaired to say the least), it’s fascinating. They used certain mortar ingredients which essentially self heal. Maybe it’s cause am geologist that I find it interesting but something to do with the type of calcium based compounds they used means that any cracks self healed and got actually stronger over time. Then have fun with the rabbit hole of steel reinforced concrete and rust and 70 year lifespan etc etc etc and oh err yeah…. Progress!!
I can always use a good rabbit hole:P
