"Historical" modernity
The greatest creations of human hands on earth are not so few. Remember the Great Wall of China, in the construction of which more than 20 percent of the population of ancient China was involved, or St. Patrick’s Cathedral, located in Melbourne, which is one of the most perfect examples of the Neo-Gothic style.
The construction of these buildings took not only years, people gave their lives only for the idea of the architect to be embodied and preserved in history.
The famous Himeji Castle in Japan, characterized by elegant outlines that have survived almost untouched to this day, or the modern hotel Bourj al-Arab, built on an artificially built island created specifically for this project - all these are unique marks on the globe, so different, but such beautiful in their own embodiment.
We must not forget about the great monuments of the world that are next door to us, which, for example, is the Moscow Kremlin or the Cathedral, which has become a symbol of the Russian Orthodox Church. The Kremlin, for example, was rebuilt several times until it reached the greatness that has been famous for more than a century. Ivan the Third Great began its reconstruction, but the turning point was the construction of the Assumption Cathedral, after which the Kremlin walls and towers appeared.
Giants of history
The great Incas left little evidence of their existence, however, Machu Picchu, a city surrounded by dense tropics, is one of the brightest evidence of the grandiose scale of an extinct civilization.
The magnificent Taj Mahal is an architectural dedication to a beloved woman, or the Acropolis, filled with many magnificent temples built of white marble - a sacred place located in Athens. They are truly masterpieces of ancient art.
