I live not too far from Dujiangyan¹, a hydro-engineering project that's over 2200 years old *AND STILL IN USE TODAY*. (How many of our "great" technological achievements made this century will be able to say the same thing?)

Since the whole story of how it was conceived, how it was built, and how it was used is well-recorded it's really easy for me to remember that ancient peoples were no dumber than we are, and indeed possibly a bit smarter.
