This video, the first time I watched it, caught my attention because of two main things, the history and the music. I love history and ancient civilization with the ancient Greeks and the Egyptians being my favorite. This video shows the massive structures that were built in the ancient times and show how current technology and ancient practices are still in use today to preserve or beautify these great structures. The one scene that caught my eye as well was the old man carving designs in the stone using a hammer and a chisel. This brought me back to the time that the buildings were being created. It gave me a glimpse on how all the symbols and pictures were placed on the stone.
One thing that amazes me as well is the power that the leaders had back then. Many monuments were built for ancient rulers and gods, many of them with pure man labor. The dedication people had to their rulers, even if through fear, was astounding and through the structures, one can see the awesome power they had. One structure that come to mind when thinking of this is the Taj Mahal. It’s solid white marble structure was built for the rulers wife. Here is a brief video on the Taj Mahal. http://video.yahoo.com/video/play?vid=1079152391&fr=yfp-t-501
