replying to @lonelyplanet @lonelyplanet #LPChat A3 unless architecture is stunning, definitely ancient -- there's something about that tangible connection to the past

A3 Ancient for me. How on earth they managed to build such masterpieces with limited tools and zero technology still astounds me! #LPChat

A3 Modern man-made sights are incredible feats (the Shard?!) But the ancient ones seem so full of history + life, even if empty #LPChat *ES

replying to @lonelyplanet A3. #LPchat @lonelyplanet BOTH. Ancient sites recreated in 3D graphics helps fill gaps. Did amazing 'tour' of Angkor Wat reconstructed.

replying to @lonelyplanet @lonelyplanet A3: A mix. Loved the treasury at Petra just as much as the Burj Khalifa in Dubai. Both are a testament to creativity. #LPChat

A3 Ancient always impresses me because of the lack of technology, but modern innovations can also be mind-boggling in their own way. #LPChat

A3. Both. For various reasons. If it's modern man-made sights, it's more about the architecture & details

A3 #LPChat both, but old art drives me. the Vatican, for instance. maybe because we don't have the sort in Brazil.
