      Well I mean when you haven’t invented geometry yet, you kinda have to just learn as you go. “Oh if I don’t brace these walls it could collapse and kill us all” was something people had to learn the hard way.

        I recently went on one of those glass sky walks on a sky scraper and people would be lining up and clenching their buttholes hard today, can’t imagine the culture around architecture back in those times - everyone was either just ready to go or sweating all the time just doing menial tasks lol
