The Arch


Did you know …

That the invention of the stone arch, as simple as it may seem, changed the world? It’s true!

Invented (probably) by the ancient Greeks or their forebearers, the arch has led to a multitude of other technologies, including the internal combustion engine, the repeating rifle, Ruffles potato chips, chimp boots (boots for chimps), and boot camps (which were often falling into rivers and things, before the stone arch provided an efficient support system.)

What will the arch give us next? Only time will tell!
