    This quest is an ambitious journey to answer questions of existence: Who are we? What is the world made of? How did we get here?

    This story is part of that quest to show how history made science and how science made history, and how the ideas which emerged made the modern world.

    • ]]>     Following the assassination of Julius Ceasar, subsequent Roman emperors spearheaded the construction of many technological feats. These feats allowed Rome to expand its empire and improve the quality of life for all Romans. The Aqueducts were most responsible for the latter in that they made available a much needed commodity ensuring that Romans had a consistent supply of water for their daily use.
    The Aqueducts typically consisted of a series of tunnels and masonry structures which brought fresh water to the many Roman cities and towns from a water source.  Great skill was needed to ensure a regular grade, so that the water would flow smoothly from its source without the flow damaging the walls of the channel.
    This informative video provides an interesting historical account of the construction.

    • ]]>     The Oresund Bridge provides a convenient connection for travelers between Denmark and Sweden.  Oresund Bridge has a total length of over 10 miles and carries more than 60,000 travelers daily. This impressive bridge was opened in 2000 after nine years of construction.

    What is most remarkable about this bridge is that it boasts as having the longest cable-stayed main span of all bridges in the world.  As if that feat was not already impressive, the bridge connects to the world’s longest underwater tube tunnel, which is used for both vehicle and train traffic.

    This video provides and interesting narrative on the construction and design of this project.

What was initially a modest population of hunters and gatherers expanded into more than 40 flourishing city-states who engineered sky-high temple-pyramids, ornate palaces and advanced hydraulic systems.
    This video answers the question about where this civilization came from and what catastrophes caused the collapse of this innovative civilization?

    From the Temple-Pyramids at Tikal, to the royal tomb at Palenque, to the star observatory at Chichen Itza, this episode will examine the architecture and infrastructure that enabled the rise and fall of the ancient Maya civilization.
