Parts of the old city in Jerusalem built by the Romans had stones that weighed hundreds of thousands of pounds, cut and positioned so precisely you can't squeeze a business card between them. The Byzantine empire built stuff on top of which was incredibly crude in comparison. <br /><br />Yet despite the civilization advancements there, they also devoted "energy and innovation to perfecting ... more brutal ways to inflict pain and murder." (as you put it) <br /><br />Happy Easter to you and yours. <br />SiGraybeardhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00280583031339062059noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1592992209402300549.post-17722132128774932402017-04-15T14:22:05.292-04:002017-04-15T14:22:05.292-04:00Thank you for the reminder.
