It's hard to believe that structures built 2,000 years ago play a big role in today's world.

During my time in Europe, I loved to visit sites where I could see Roman Ruins and things still standing and being used. Baths still being enjoyed today. One doesn't have to be a history buff to enjoy them.

Roman roads are great because they just go in a straight line up and down hills without really caring too much.

Their ability to build roads is what made them the roman empire! Their ability to move troops and supplies at a speed unparralled by any military on the planet made them what they were. They could build bridges like no bodies buisness also! They had some hydro mining techniques that rival todays mining practices!

Of course, they stepped up to another level.

Like the US has done.

And their downfall? Similar things to what are happening in the US today.

Selfishness, corruption etc.
 
To truly understand what the Romans did, just visit The Limes in Germany. I spent a lot of hours in awe there.

For me it was in Turkey, I went to Ephesus and then Pergamon stuck on a hill. Both places are truly amazing.

It is like we read the check list and are ensuring that it happens! That does not mean we can not change course! There were several times the Romans came close to falling but steared away from the rocks! Maybe we can do the same.
