Part 2: The Hoover Dam
Throughout human history, mankind has built monuments to its ingenuity and skill. In Egypt it was
the Pyramids. Rome, built the Colosseum. The Greeks built the Acropolis. The great cathedrals of
Europe raised the skills of their builders to unequalled heights, creating awe inspiring structures.
In the Americas, the cliff dwellings of Mesa Verde and the high mountain city of Machu Pichu speak
to the skill and ingenuity of their builders. In the modern era, it's buildings that reach near half
a mile into the sky, bridges that stretch enormous distances in a single span, and machines that
extend mankind's reach far into space. One monument that must surely be counted among the great
achievements of mankind is Hoover Dam.
