A2: The oldest Engineering Marvel I have visited? What better than the world's VERY oldest - the Step Pyramid in sunny #Egypt - with even more of a #Heatwave - though the adjacent attractions were more wow @RTWBarefoot #TRLT @TheTravelCamel

replying to @findinganeish @findinganeish @TheTravelCamel B.C.'s Othello Tunnels, named after Shakespeare, are valued for the metaphoric bedrock geology, railway history & engineering feats. After the railway was decommissioned, the route was turned into a hiking trail. #TRLT

A2 A2. The Stones of Stenness on Orkney. Built around 5,400 years ago, they are believed to be the oldest henge monument in the British Isles. #TRLT

replying to @TheTravelCamel @TheTravelCamel @RTWBarefoot A2: I actually don't know. Maybe the bridge between Zimbabwe and Zambia? #TRLT But I think the Hagia Sophia is much, much older :-)

A3 #TRLT Probably the UFO Bridge in Bratislava, Slovakia. Built 50 years ago, was another attempt by the communists to show great things you could build in their society.

A2: Montezuma Castle, built between 1100 and 1425 AD, Camp Verde #Arizona. The ingenuity of the Singua people, living 27m up a limestone cliff, it's placement protecting it from exposure to the elements & enemies, beside Beaver Creek's fertile soil, is admirable. #TRLT

A2 - Not sure if it's the oldest I've been to bc I've been to several ruins but I was just at Chichen Itza and it's so impressive what that did there. All the time they are discovering just how large a site it is. It's one of the largest sites in the Yucatan. #TRLT

replying to @TheTravelCamel @TheTravelCamel @findinganeish The Othello Tunnels were named after a close by railway station on the Kettle Valley Railway station; all the tunnels were named after characters in Shakespeare plays. The engineer, Andrew McCulloch was a big Shakespeare fan, hence the names. #TRLT
