Ever since man was able to design structures, he has built countless legendary monuments. For
today, the focus will be on three of the most iconic ancient buildings ever constructed, achievements
that are made even greater when one considers the technology at the time they were built.
Also, these three monuments have
withstood the test of time, and are still
standing for everyone to learn from
today. John Eilermann.
The Colosseum in Rome, Italy: No
other structure in the Roman Empire is
more iconic than the Colosseum,
found in Rome, Italy. It is the largest
amphitheater ever made, at the height
of 159 feet. The Colosseum has been
the site of endless tales of heroism
and tragedy throughout the years. At
its peak, it could hold as many as
80,000 spectators. John Eilermann.
The Great Pyramid, Giza, Egypt:
Around 2.3 million stone blocks were
used to build the Great Pyramid of
Giza, which is heralded as one of the
Seven Wonders of the World. Even
today, researchers, historians,
scientists, archaeologists, and
architects still learn new things as they
explore this ancient legend. John
Eilermann
The Great Wall, China: Built to repel the Yayun tribe during the time of Emperor Qin Shi Huang, the
Great Wall is so massive that it was completed eras later. It is the longest man-made structure ever
erected at more 50,000 kilometers. John Eilermann.
