Carthage in 3D!

[tls5669]

The Carthaginians were the first to create apartments. I'm really surprised that the Romans didn't copy that aspect of Carthaginian culture, the way that Rome had gotten so overcrowded later on in history.

rome had the 1st shoping mall copyed from those designs

the ground level was for food and one of the upper one´s was for cloths so they did copyed it

as for who made them for the 1st time i don´t think there´s evidence for who originally made it but there´s story´s os siege´s in sicily against poeni setlements where the greeks had to use siege towers and fight in the roofs of such "appartments" and those stories date back to the 5th or 6th century bc

we think the old where all savages but there´s more to the human ingenuity then we give it credit for (actually a baby from 100k years ago if transported to our time would fair just as well as any other child the problem is that they had no instituted education (or we assume they didn´t))

Wow, that's cool about the shopping mall and apartment ideas. Didn't know that. Didn't Carthage also invent glass too?

And I agree about our modern perception of the ancients' intelligence. They were just as accomplished and in some ways more innovative than modern engineers. There's some things they did that we can't figure out how they did even today and can't be replicated exactly.

Thanks for this Jeb!

Also in an airplane, I suggest you just sit in the middle, then you dont have to view out of the window.

Don't let something that little block you from seeing such marvels.

MAN those 3D models look good. does anyone here know by any chance what program was used to create them?

Very very cool stuff! The Port of Cathage looks absolutely stunning, I wish I could've seen it back in the day when it was in full operation
