Humans have sailed all the way to the Polynesian islands, they built monuments in the Andes, and they left us the pyramids. This work explains how a city could exist surrounded by water. This work concerns both history and architecture. Unlike many historical works that mentions the Roman Empire, Venice was born after its collapse and that political entity is not brought up here. The work says many of its inhabitants and invaders died of malaria. ...
