It is amazing, the intricate details that they were able to achieve so long ago. We visited Ephesus in Turkey and were amazed at the fact that they actually had indoor air conditioning and heating...as well as indoor plumbing...and even today we use the concept of indoor plumbing and sewage in the same manner that they did over 2000 years ago.
