Pont du Gard (Roman Aqueduct)

The Pont Du Gard was made to flow fresh water for the people of the soceity. I find it interesting that the people still use it today. The bottom level can be traveled on. The aqueduct looked very thin and frail, esp. seen from a distance in the video. I wonder when it will tumble down. They said it has been moving a little every year. When it does I hope the people will restore it. The video said it only took five years to build it, because they had used the stones own pressure to hold all in place. Maybe if they restore it they might use the same method.
