    Roads That Changed the World
    The Great Wall of China

  • Exploring how ancient Egyptian engineers built the monumental Great Pyramid at Giza, the only survivor of the Seven Wonders of the Ancient World.

  • In the Middle Ages, the technology of the castle evolved by leaps and bounds.

  • Building for God reached a high point in the Middle Ages when a new engineering movement emerged in Europe.

  • Temples, designed to honor the Gods, have been at the heart of cities since earliest times; often they have been the biggest and most impressive buildings of their age.

  • Without water, civilization is simply not possible; Romans took control of their water supplies very, very seriously; in order to keep the taps on, Roman engineers constructed vast networks of aqueducts, tunnels, sewers, and drains.

  • As far back as the Bronze Age, humans were building ships capable of crossing oceans and trading between continents; perhaps the greatest surviving vessel from the Ancient world, is The Mary Rose, Henry VIII's mighty warship.
