If we moderns sat around thinking all day every day about how to
make things out of rocks, I am quite confident we could come up
with some really impressive feats. The ancients had little else to
work with, and no video games to distract them. I think various
commentators are correct: the ancient stone arches were approximated
and the bad ones have fallen long since. spike
