A1: Ancient engineering feats are always so impressive because of their age and scale. Wonders like the Great Mosque of Samarra in Iraq, which at the time of construction in 848CE was the largest mosque in the world, are truly mindblowing! #TRLT
DrNeilMatthews
A1: Ancient, because it was achieved without modern technology. For example, just getting all those monoliths from Wales to Salisbury Plain. #Stonehenge @postcardsplaces #TRLT

Give me a bit of both. I love history, but I also love modern art/architecture. #trlt https://t.co/Cfl3CURKtX

A1 #TRLT I tend to like modern structures over the ancient ones, although there have been some ancient ones I’ve liked a lot. This is the Old Bridge in Mostar, Bosnia & the Golden Bridge in Vietnam.
BradtGuides
A1: Ancient marvels also give you an incredible sense of history – at places like Great Zimbabwe, for example. Has anyone here visited? #TRLT

A1: Some modern engineering marvels feel like works of art in their own right. Take the National Library in Prishtina for instance – love it or hate it, there's no denying its architectural prowess! #TRLT
TheTravelCamel
replying to @BradtGuides @BradtGuides It's been nice - can take my daughter for walks along the tree lined roads again. A lovely way to have some daddy-daughter time. #TRLT

A1. As a tech geek, there is something to be said for both! I love asking: "how did they do that!" #TRLT photos: Amphitheatre of Pompeii & Disney Concert Hall

replying to @travelhistory1 @travelhistory1 And this is one of the finest examples of ancient engineering. #TRLT

replying to @TheTravelCamel @TheTravelCamel For sure...or engineering of any age I would argue. #TRLT

A1: We love modern engineering marvels that defy the laws of physics, and Baku's Heydar Aliyev Center is certainly one of those. It looks like it's melting! #TRLT
RCMtalks
replying to @TheTravelCamel @TheTravelCamel @postcardsplaces A1: I'm more impressed by ancient marvels as I always think "how" when they didn't have the technology and science we do now, like this burial chamber in Wales dating back to 3,500BC. How is it still upright? #TRLT
