Old London bridge


Living on a bridge would be awesome

Circle city iraq
This would be pretty awesome to see at the time it was being lived in, but the Mongols destroyed it

Bologna towers italy

Couldn't imagine walking around Italy in the middle ages and seeing this city

The Neue Elbbrücke Bridge, Hamburg

I feel like I can smell the Thames in the picture. It was probably so disgusting.

Have been to the top of the Bologna Towers still standing but I didn’t realize they had a bunch more in earlier times.

Yea I didn't think about that, I think I read somewhere that the river Thames was so polluted at one point it was pretty much just a brown sludge, still would be cool to see the old bridge

Maybe not on one that they wrote a song about it falling down, though.

Imagine......walking out on your porch and a bunch of bridge children are out in the neighbor's bridge yard holding hands, running in a circle, and talking about the bridge you live on falling down. That'd really work on the nerves.

These never existed and are just myths and artists renderings.

It’s a shame the old London bridge was demolished

It stood for 600 years

You screwed it up. Old buildings existed and are proof of a prior global civilization that they don't want you to know about. It's a giant mystery because we have no way of understanding how brick or two-story buildings could be erected without some mysterious, lost technology.

Ahh, but I didn't. He wants proof while posting pics of proof while saying pics of proof could be CGI/AI/Photoshop.

You know it’s true because there is a 2 hour YouTube video that is all over the place in its explanation.
