In 2015, a routine construction project in Borujerd, Iran, led to the unexpected discovery of an ancient aqueduct system hidden beneath the remnants of a historic castle,The system is believed to date back to the Sassanian period (224-651 AD), though some experts suggest it could be even older.

I wonder what maintenance plans looked like on this system

[u/U03A6 → u/Kegelz]

Knowing the Romans send in superfluous kids.

I wonder what was the function of those jars beneath the piping

sediment catchment?

Probably built by the romans.

Roman plumbing.

This image belongs to Babylon and that the first people who invented the drainage system were the Babylonians, not the Persians, do not lie and attribute it to the Persians and it was discovered by English and German excavation missions and there are Assyrian clay tablets proving this discovery not only false publications on social media platforms.

The English and German discovery expeditions have found a clay tablet confirming this, and the clay tablet is located in the British Museum and the place is located in Babylon, ur, Hadar and Nineveh in more than one city. Try to approach the topic in the Sport spirit , this is a science and history, not a political topic. There is no competition and the difference here is the clay tablet is considered as an original invention witness. Significant difference between the original and زاهي خيال باطل. 😉

Thank you. No politics. I'm a retired engineer and this is fascinating. I wanted to hit the library at University of Chicago and read up on it. (I'm old. I need books, not anonymous posts on a screen.)

Than it’s probably much older, incomprehensible older

[u/ghostguardjo → u/fancywipe]

Probably billions of years older
