ROMAN CONCRETE

bla bla bla (emoticon)

[Dipstikk]

The illustration physically illustrates the concept of economic stratification. AND THE MUSIC IS EPIC.

[Comment about Roman Concret inserted here.]

Fantastic song. Just lovely.

[hunch84ckTV]

roman cocrete is still stronger than our. and lets face it they were better at nearly everything that we do now

[RolaiEckolo]

I love it how, after reading all of these retarded comments, I realize that I didn't even hear the song.

[DeltaReconnaissance]

What a failure this race has been over the years...

[Ektherion00]

@DeltaReconnaissance And to think my friends don't understand why I'm so misanthropic...

[AAliasW]

The lost city of ATLANTA.

[WhatsHisFace042]

@AAliasW Nice Futurama reference.

[Kaleeb7]

Atlantis perhaps?

[RolaiEckolo]

Sounds like when the giant tree fell in Avatar

[ElementalEcho]

Thumbs up if you see Midgar from FFVII!

[lekoro1]

i seen them zepplins somewhere... either in a game or movie...

for somereason im thinking bionicle...

[A25J97M]

@lekoro1 You might have seen it in some of Hayao Miyazaki's movies. They have lots of flying machines.

[lekoro1]

@A25J97M

actualy im thinking more along the lines of le metru on the island of metru nui from that bionicle series :o

[MelodiaSeira]

I'd love to go exploring and find a rare ancient city no one discovered yet and meet a dragon and their ancient descendents and go on epic fantastical adventures to save it's very essence.

[jurimeyer]

all that is was

[EternaVY]

J'aime !

[TheBrittix]

This reminds me of from in the movie Avatar when their home tree gets burned down >.<

[Darkfire7881]

@TheBrittix that's exactly what i thought! maybe TFH did that music for the movie?

[FangMoonHowl]

Kinda looks like Midgar

[idontcaremovies]

The cities were rebuilt everyone called you a hero for defeating the demons but they did not know you were the cause for the devastation and billions of deaths people praised you with gifts but you knew that you did not deserve it the city people cheered for you to come out of the temple they built for but then a guard came in and saw your dead body. a bloody bullet shell and note on the desk.

[Johnny2142T]

@idontcaremovies what are you getting at.

[masonnewell18]

0:40 sounds like "Awww Sluuutyyy Hooooe" lol

[AprilOceanBlue]

Crystal Voice...

[pandafreakgirl]

prince of persia. oh and sinbad. those are the movies that pop into my head when i heard this. :]]

[XxValleyIndianXx]

i love music with this type of vocals

[RavenandSparrow13]

freaking sick picture! where'd u get it?

[obsidian408]

Good one, but only 1.31 mins :/

[ImmortalBlackFalcon]

I don't think ancient cities had zeppelins with jet engines :D

[OMGYOUWALLER]

@ImmortalBlackFalcon you never know

[KingHarkinian]

@ImmortalBlackFalcon you never know what technology we merely RE-invented ;)

A simple example is concrete, of which the formula was stronger and better in the days of the Roman Empire than it is now.

They just can't figure it out :D

[UberREDKitteh]

@KingHarkinian Just like greek fire.

[AAliasW]

@KingHarkinian Actually, certain recipes of German military and civillian concrete are far tougher than the slush the romans made.

[KingHarkinian]

@AAliasW Not the basic concrete though, that's basicaly a whole other material.

[AAliasW]

@KingHarkinian I'm talking about the basic concrete.

SUCK IT, ROMANS

[Xellos111]

@KingHarkinian False, concrete in Rome was better then concrete used at the end of the Dark Ages, now our concrete is superior (but yes that knowladge was lost for us for a time like many other, but nowaday concrete > Rome concrete)

[lmart16]

@KingHarkinian I think it also depends on what you want the concrete to do (absorb water/ radiation, or be a foundation that won't bend), but in any terms, the same concrete poured in ancient Rome would withstand longer than concrete aging in a coastal city with high humidity, along with ice, flooding, large oak trees, and hurricanes. (I'm comparing the Roman environment with the mouth of the Mississippi River where New Orleans sits). Thus, in that logic, no... all concrete here would suck.

[KingHarkinian]

@lmart16 Very good point, environmental aspects are very important :)

I love how you ended your reply btw xD

[falconmiragee]

@ImmortalBlackFalcon you see my friend, what we havent seen doesnt mean that it doesnt exist...

[daktyl0]

That is a masterpiece. One of my favourites from Two Steps From Hell
