Blog 41 - Culture

I have always been fascinated by ancient cultures that lived long before us.  It seems odd how people lived with absolutely no electronics and with limited tools.  One of these cultures that are interesting to me is the ancient Egyptians.  It seems almost impossible that these people could build these giant structures without any advanced tools or equipment.  It took them several years and countless hours to move these giant stones and build the pyramids.  These people had to have a lot of dedication in order to make these structures and it is odd to think that they made them just for their pharaoh.  I am also fascinated by the ancient Greeks and Romans.  I studied Latin in high school and I thought that their cultures were interesting.  It was interesting to learn what they did for entertainment and what their society was like.  I enjoyed learning about the coliseum and the gladiator fights that were held inside of them.  Sometime I would like to visit these different places and see all the ancient structures that are still around.  I would like to visit the pyramids in Egypt and see the Roman city.  Other than Washington DC, I have not been to many places that contain famous and important events of our history.  I think it is interesting to study how people lived in our past and how people will live in the future.  I always wonder what the world will be like in a few hundred years from now.  Will the Pyramids or Coliseum still exist?  I also wonder what structures we have now will be famous in a few years.
