Ancient Romans built structures that still stand 2000 years later.

Modern buildings need major repairs after 20 years.

The secrets behind Roman engineering will blow your mind…🧵 Image
The Pantheon in Rome is nearly 2000 years old and it’s still the largest unreinforced concrete dome in the world.

Meanwhile, your local mall from the 1980s is probably falling apart.
