Around 10,000 years ago, humans began to settle in permanent cities. They needed new technologies to raise bigger houses and monuments. Many of the discoveries made by ancient engineers are still used today. From building materials such as concrete, bricks, and glass to construction machines such as ramps, archways, and sloped camber roadways, many of the buildings we walk in everyday use designs first invented in the ancient world.
Learn about the ancient construction methods that laid the foundation for modern monuments, plumbing, and skyscrapers.
