If I could travel anywhere‚ I would go to... Egypt. The reason I would choose Egypt is to get a first-hand experience on the ancient method the Egyptians used to engineer structures. Their work was so exquisite and astonishing that it is crazy to think modern engineers find it nearly impossible to replicate them.
