Don't be so sure.

lol
Yeah, yeah, and Columbus discovered America, even though there were people already here.
Indians? He didn't even know where he was.
Columbus was lost bafoon, not a discoverer.
There are Kilns in Africa that used arches long before the Romans ever built one.
Most of Rome's technological advances were 'borrowed' from the peoples they conquered.
History seems to always be influenced by those in charge, so it's difficult to know the truth about things so long ago.
As world powers attain dominance form their victories, history is re-written to suit those telling the story or those who want their stories told.
Anyway, nice detail on your texturing, especially on particular buildings.
I was sold on the theme before I ever saw your great images and videos.
Thanks Steve & TGC
