This exquisite dome is an example of spezzatura based on the way on how effortless it looked to build a great masterpiece.

The pharaohs were buried in the top most layer of the pyramids and their coffins were filled jewelry and many other items they would need in the afterlife. Unlike the Taj Mahal the pyramids were built up to 455 feet, though it may look taller and wider in t.v. documentaries and books. Since the pyramids took about 20 to 30 years to built it took about 100,000 people to make the buildings. The labor was very tiring as the slaves used to work for long hours in the sun for very little pay. So they used tools such as granite hammers, pickaxes, and they also used gigantic sleds to help carry the huge pyramid blocks over the desert.
Roman Colosseum The Roman Colosseum is in the center of Rome, Italy and located just east of the Roman Forum. It was paid for by the opulent soils that were taken during the Jewish Revolt in AD70. There were said to have been nearly 100,000 Jewish prisoners that made up the workforce that helped to build the massive Colosseum. There was no modern technology and vehicles like there are today, so they had to travel by foot transporting stones over 20 miles from Tivoli to Rome to use as supplies.

Olmec colossal heads have been found at La Venta, San Lorenzo, and Tres Zapotes. Despite they were each carved out of a basalt boulder and weigh 8 tons on average, they were hauled for miles through water and across land. No one knows for sure how they were transported, but some believe that the Olmec people used log rollers and balsa rafts to carry the giant heads. They are one of the most mysterious artifacts in the ancient world, but the most believed theory about the Olmec colossal heads is that because of their intricate features, and all the work that was put into making one, they represented Olmec rulers. Another theory is that the heads with helmets were the well-known ball players.

Our closest extinct cousins were proliferated in the science community as in superior beings who were primitive in nature, had no intellectual thought, art, culture, or language. Recently, archaeologists, palaeontologists, scientists, and anthropologists are re-examining the evidence and finding new clues that could help resolve the ongoing bitter disputes about Neandertals. Concealed deep in our
Therefore, there are many design of the pyramid can’t be explained. For example, all three pyramids – Khufu, Khafe, Menkaure – are precisely aligned and the sides of the pyramids are rise at specific angle of 51.2 degrees. Besides that, the pyramid was built in 1700BC which only labour force was available. The core of the pyramid is built by yellowish limestone blocks, granite, each weighing on 2.5 tonnes and rising 203 courses. This accuracy is beyond comprehension, not only it would be deemed in today’s modern construction world, but probably more than could now be achieved.
He built a house from logs cut from the surrounding pine trees and coral rock which he quarried on the premises. Thus began the strange and unusual project he set for himself, interrupted only by his moving to a larger plot of ground three miles north of Homestead, which after 25 years of continuous labor culminated in the completion of what can only be described as one of the strangest works of man in all history.

In 1962, John Allegro led an expedition to the places listed in the scroll, but when they excavated the area, they came back empty handed. If there is a treasure, it had either been found long ago, or it has been hidden well. The most plausible answer would be that the Romans uncovered the treasure when they destroyed the temple of Herod, searching for glory and
