Re: An attitude based on unfounded snobbery

the ancients were masters of their arts. The Pyramids, Colosseum, Tenochtitlan, and others are still here, after centuries of earthquakes and vandalism. How many "modern" constructions will survive 3000 years of natural and human assaults?

Not necessarily a safe argument. Build 10 things and have them all still standing in 3000 years, you're a master. Build 10,000 and have 10 still standing in 3000 years, you just got lucky sometimes.
