Biometric supertrees in Singapore.
Amazing rehabilitation programme to bring wildlife back into the cities.
If you planted 9 redwoods in an octagonal pattern with each point being cca 10m apart from another, and one in the center. would they fuse into a supertree?
>>726844018
they would kill each other
>>726844119
How
>>726844018
It might, due to inosculation, but to what extent I don't know
>>726844150
their roots would be so close that there is not enough space to support all trees

>>726839548
Tutankhamun may have had some Hyksos ancestry, which would not be surprising, but the Hyksos were from western Asia, not northern Europe. More to the point, the Hyksos rule didn't begin until the fifteenth dynasty, ca. 1674 B.C. However, the great pyramid of Giza was built in the fourth dynasty, ca. 2580 B.C., nine centuries earlier.
King Tut has absolutely nothing to do with the pyramids. It's the equivalent of arguing that the Maya did not build the Great Pyramid of Cholula because CortƩs was Spanish.

I understand the function of a castle but what's the point of replicating moats and the like for these estates that are basically the equivalent of a single house.
It's not like they're meant to withstand a siege. I can't imagine the nobility holing up in one of these from their enemies or from angry peasants. I assume it's just for the aesthetics?

In the classical period all architecture was built for few reasons, government and religion
Nowadays a city is better off building a park than a museum.
Europe has old architecture everywhere... then something like that Earthquake that happened to Italy last autumn DESTROY these CLASSIC buildings with people INSIDE!
>>726850126
ikr. I went there thinking it was just gonna be some fancy stuff on the outside but then you go in and see the ceilings and stained glass.

They were for a time.
>>726850747

I think those are a way to traverse the city without needing to stop at a stoplight every 10 seconds. Also it's probably over-engineering to show off too

How the fuck would that road system work? I see 0 ways to get a vehichle from one level to another, also the perspective of the two horizontal roads in the middle is fucked.
The back road seems to be the same level as the two vertical roads based off of where they meet on each side, but in reference to the buildings the back road is at the same level as the horizontal road in the front
