We ought to reconstruct the 7 Wonders of the Ancient World

I thought we were done with this debate. I hoped we were. Now we gotta go through another round. Oh well. It's not sad that the 7 wonders all collapsed. I mean, it is sad, but they didn't collapse because of a volcano exploding or something, they collapsed because things change over the course of history, and sometimes we have to accept that. Everything will collapse at some point. the Empire state building will collapse, the Burj Khalifa will collapse, even the Rocky Mountains will collapse. But it doesn't really matter, because future generations will study, them, and we will have enjoyed them while they existed, and that's all that really matters. We don't need to rebuild them, we know a lot about them, but the little things we don't know prevent us from gaining a solid understanding of them, and that's fine, because their mystery is what intrigues us. They're amazing things from an amazing time. Your main argument here, it seems, is that rebuilding the 7 wonders will decrease the unemployment rate. But you must understand that Ancient Egyptian and Greek economics are very different from modern economics. First off, people will have jobs when the wonders are being built, but it will only take about three thousand or so people to build them, and there will still be a million or so people who aren't getting any jobs. Also, when the ancient wonders are completed, the workers won't have jobs anymore. That's a big drawback. They'll have worked for nothing, once the mausoleum is all finished, they'll have to go down to the unemployment office. You also have to understand that many of these ancient wonders were built by slaves, which was what made them so easily assembled, management didn't have to pay their labor anything. In modern society, we don't have slaves, so paying all these workers would empty the national treasury in a flash. Also, technology has improved so much that we could build these things in about a week. It won't even be that hard. The pyramids are much shorter than a modern skyscraper, you have to understand that we've advanced since ancient times and architectural styles and equipment have too. https://www.nps.gov... In the image, the pyramids are number one, the Empire State Building is number four, and the Burj Khalifa is number 7. As you can see, the pyramids are at the very bottom end of small buildings. We don't need to rebuild the 7 ancient wonders of the world to have people gain a deeper understanding of history, because there are plenty of documents and drawings of them, and there are museums nationwide with small, highly accurate scale depictions. Really, if everybody needs a visual representation of something to learn about it, then we're very moronic. We can read, we have eyes. Instead of focusing on the majestic structures of yesteryear, we could try to build cooler structures today. What about the chunnel, a train tunnel that runs beneath the English Channel? What about the bizarre geometric shape of the Denver Art Museum? What about tiny mountain shacks in remote forest areas? What about the Panama Canal, a man made river connecting two oceans? These are architectural wonders too, but we rarely think of them as such because we take them for granted. Instead of focusing on our past, we should look towards the future. The 7 wonders of the world, although being called that, are not the only artifacts from ancient civilizations. Many structures, just as old, just as large, just as fascinating, were never recorded as ancient wonders, and yet they remain perfectly intact. What about the Great Wall of China? What about the Colosseum? Or St. Peter's basilica? Or the Sistine chapel? Or Machu Picchu? Or Teotihuacan? they're all amazing representations of the ingenuity of mankind, and they should be regarded as equals to the ones known as the seven wonders of the world. I'm not dilly dallying, as you put it, sir. I'm giving you a solid argument. I suggest you do the same, instead of simply repeating yourself, or you're going to lose. Give me at least 6,000 characters next time and you could come out as victor. But I doubt it. You've said almost nothing. I await your next argument.
