Good morning freedom tech users! Much about the past has been lost, including information about ancient Rome which we know relatively a lot about. Have you ever thought how exactly they built such massive stone structures like those in the Roman Forum? The Pantheon or the Coliseum? Any building equipment they used would've been made of wood which would not survive across time. But we actually do know that they used a type of wooden crane with rope pulleys. This crane was depicted on an artifact found within the tomb of someone who may have been an engineer, discovered in the mid 1800s this is the only known example (that I know of at least) of a depiction of large Roman construction techniques and technology. History is fascinating. https://www.reddit.com/r/ArtefactPorn/comments/168yoid/a_2nd_century_ce_roman_marble_relief_from_the/ https://www.scirp.org/journal/paperinformation?paperid=104668 #ArtifactPorn #AncientRome #RomanEmpire #AncientArtifact https://m.primal.net/Mmoy.webp
