#22 Big Projects

This week we're looking into some huge undertakings through history in a category we're calling: BIG PROJECTS. How did ancient Rome manage to feed a population of 1 million people? How did Alexander the Great feed his army as it marched some 3,000 miles? How were the pyramids constructed? And in a 4th part for OWAT: FULL TIMERS, how did electricity make its way to the rural areas of the UK? Big questions to which we're happy to provide some big answers.There's all the usual nonsense too. If you could use our time machine to revolutionise a sport or change the world completely, how would you do it?
