And if anyone doubts this, a visit to Segovia in Spain to see the 2000 year old magnificent Roman aqueduct made from stones simply balanced one on top of the other, without any mortar whatsoever, that will bring an end to any argument.

The beauty of this construction method to me is that it's close to everlasting compared to human lifespans. It will still stand and delight the eyes of future generations long after the people who built it have passed away.

@@lostpony4885 it would take a lot to ruin this thing. The reason so many Roman arches survived so long was because they weighed so much, people couldn’t figure out how to safely dismantle them so they could use the stone for other things. You would need a small backhoe to even make a dent on it.
