  I can&apos;t believe that Venice designed so many things that are still around today from scratch; it&apos;s truly a marvel of engineering, even still today.

  That water collection and waste management system was genius.

  It&apos;s also important to note that the Venetians were <b>masters</b> of Engineering when it came to shipbuilding as well. Their &quot;Arsenal&quot; was capable of producing a warship every day, and was one of the first places to use standardized parts- being one of the largest scale pre-industrial construction sites

  This is amazing. No one will ever convince me that the people of old were less intelligent than today.

  I was in venice twice, and it feels like walking on, not in, a museum. As soon as you leave the main shopping street, you get into tiny streets, tiny spaces, tiny places, find hidden restaurants and beautiful places. It feels old and smells old, but in a wild kind of way. It&apos;s an experience for sure. You can&apos;t possibly see all of it in a few days. So many hidden corners, so many islands. Very much to explore :)

  This is the first time why the existence of Venice has been explained to me in a way I understand. Thank you. It&apos;s so incredible!

  I still think it&apos;s incredible that most of the original logs from 452 are still there holding up after over 1000 years

  They built a city over 1500 years ago on literal mud, and it&apos;s still better designed and built than a lot of cities here in North America

  I visited Venice as a 15 year old and I will always tell people that it is the most beautiful city I have ever visited. You can literally sit down in any part of the city and just stare all day (and it&apos;ll be a day well spent) because you are too afraid that you will forget the beauty of the view if you stop looking.

  I am originally from the surrounding area of Venice, but no one has ever explained those concepts in this straight way before. Truly an engineered city, love the scalability.
