Knowing trees, I understand the meaning of patience. Knowing grass, I can appreciate persistence.

In this modern day and age, an age of mass production and prefabricated products, it would be of great importance to step back and take a look at various man-made structures from man’s ancestors that have sustained over thousands of years.
Taking a spot are the Giza Pyramids who not only stand out because of their huge size but also because they have stood against time and extreme climatic conditions through the years. Not only are they majestically beautiful, they have also proved to be resilient and durable existing for about 4,570 years.
Taking years and years to build, the Taj Mahal was constructed to honor a ruler and serve as a monument of great love. Completed in 1653, the beautiful white marble structure still stands majestically up to now.
On the most uninhabited island in Chile are beautiful statues carved out of the stones of extinct volcanoes in the island. These “Mois” weigh about 270 tons and are said to exist even from the year 1250 and 1500.
Built thousands of years ago, the majestic Sphinx still finds a spot on the list. Though it may be in ruins now, the remnants have shown that during the time when it was at its peak, it must have been an exquisite wonder. Looking at it now, it is a clear example of how it has been able to stand the test of time.
Dating back to almost 5,000 years ago, New Grange was built to serve as an Irish passage tomb. Taking into account the date of its completion, it is older than the Egyptian Pyramids. Constructed by overlapping large rocks, it was found to be waterproof even after thousands of years.
One of the world’s most famous sports arenas, the Coliseum bags a spot on the list. Started in AD 70, Roman Civilization has proven that even without technology, their structures have stood the test of time and withstood the elements.
Aging 2,710 years old, the Great Wall of China is one of the oldest and largest achievements of mankind. Though building the wall itself may have taken a long time too, 1800 years to be exact, has proudly remained intact in its position— designed to ward off Mongol invaders but have attracted millions of visitors instead. The Great Wall is not only one of the strongest structures ever built, but is by far, one of the most impressive structures too.
