Architecture

 Historic Architecture Visual Portraits | Misterious by Eduardo Barbosa
 Tunisia, Kerkouane Archaeological Site, Phoenician Ruins, Mediterranean Sea

Historic Artifact. An Ancient Greek tombstone dated between 200 BC and 100 AD, it contains the world's oldest piece of music that survives complete.
The Taos Pueblo in northern New Mexico is the oldest continuously occupied structure on the continent. Dating back to a.d. 1000, its adobe walls today house about 150 Taos Native Americans who maintain the ancient traditions of their ancestors. The Pueblo is not a historical artifact or a re-creation; it is an actual town that offers a fascinating introduction to Native American life.
Tomb of Darius the Great Darius I (the Great), ruled 521-486 BCE. The empire of Darius the Great extended from Egypt in the west to the Indus River in the east thus earning the title Darius the Great. The major satrapies or provinces of his Empire were connected to the center at Persepolis, in the Fars Province of present-day Iran. The Royal Road connected 111 stations to each other.
Gallo Campground, Chaco Culture National Historic Site, New Mexico - The Site: This artifact-filled historic area is known for its intact Pueblo Indian ruins, but the sights don’t end when you enter the campground. Many campsites back right up to a large butte that features ancient petroglyphs and the remains of a cliff dwelling.
