Geez!
Posted by: sternman on Sep-22-12 6:58 AM (EST)

It's 6:50 in the morning. I just read this whole thread and now I'm ready for a beer.

The ancients made stuff with the materials they had. It was usually conservative and practical by design. If we have examples to study them someone obviously went through the trouble.
