Thx for sharing

I love history

@sandrajordan483, hope you enjoyed the history.

Interesting story. Thanks for sharing.

@eagleye, glad you found it interesting. Your welcome.

Truly amazing how such beautiful and well built structures were completed with hand tools only. What modern structures built today will still be standing in 900 years... zero

Nice history, very interesting, I love your picture.
