Something to think about !

[Archaeo - Histories @archeohistories]

When people think of Ronda, Spain 🇪🇸, they usually imagine a great magnificent bridge overlooking everything else. The legendary construction which pops up in their minds is named Puente Nuevo or Ronda bridge. It is not surprising that the locals and tourists are so fascinated by its incredible design....

Puente Nuevo Bridge in Ronda town or Ronda bridge, a bridge that was built in 18th Century. It is located over the Guadalevin River, in town of Ronda in the Andalusian province of Malaga, Spain. Ronda bridge survived numerous historical events and names of some famous people are associated with its creation.

Puente Nuevo is the Spanish equivalent of “New Bridge”, but it can be called “new” only symbolically. The building of the bridge started in 1759 and finished in 1793. In 1735, “old” bridge with one arch was constructed at the same place. The work was carried out according to a completely different project and lasted only eight months. The bridge broke down after five years, so after that the new one had to be built.

Puente Nuevo in Ronda is a great bridge, which is recognized as the eternal symbol of Ronda, Spain. It is always depicted on postcards and in travel guide books. Puente Nuevo is not a simple engineering structure. It looks like a fortress carved into cliffs. Its foundation stands on the bottom of the abyss, Ronda bridge is built of carved stone. The stone for construction was mined right at the bottom of the ravine.

The author of the project, José Martin de Aldehuela, planned to weave the building into the natural landscape, organically combining it with the architecture of ancient place. The construction equipment was the pinnacle of technical thought in those years. The new bridge connected the old and the new quarters, one of which was known for its trade and was called the Little Market, and the other part was called the City.

The bridge provided transport links and changed the life of the city, initiating the development of trading industry in Ronda. Right after the bridge had been built, merchants from other cities began to come in an effort to develop their business. Soon there were a lot of them, and the government had to take some measures. First, the merchants coming from other cities had to pay taxes. Because of this, many people sold their goods outside the gates of bridge, and since then there have been several shopping areas outside Puente Nuevo in Ronda, Spain.

In 1542, was a landmark for Ronda town, Spain. Market areas began to form, number of citizens increased and there was a need for a crossing that could link La Ciudad with other side across the narrow gorge. Being large and plain, the terrain was great for expanding Ronda’s territory.

In 1700s, Ronda finally received an opportunity to build a bridge over the Guadalevin River. The purpose of this bridge was to transport more people and vehicles and provide a link between El Mercadillo and La Ciudad. It became necessary because of the inability to use the driveway through Padre Jesus. In 1734, architects first tried to build the bridge. It was Jose Garcia and Juan Camacho. They used only one arch to create the crossing via the ravine.

Ronda bridge was erected very quickly, so it was not safe enough. The old Puente did not endure the tension and all the transportation that the residents carried. It collapsed, and 50 people tragically lost their lives falling into ravine. Then they started to build the present-day bridge in Ronda in 1759 and completed the project in 1793. All in all, it took 34 years.

The construction is 98m high and 66m long. Domingo Lois de Monteagudo was the creator of its authentic styling. He was a well-known builder, and it is also considered that he guided building of lower part of bridge, but since 1778 he ceased taking part in this project.

But it's literally the same thing.

We CANNOT allow these Psychopaths to install the ‘WHO Pandemic Treaty’.

It should be obvious by now that they’re CAUSING the ‘PANDEMICS’.

[Steve Milloy @JunkScience]

It's official... April 2024 was 1.35°F cooler than April 1981 in the US, despite 43 years of global emissions.

If every emission warms the planet, WTF?

[Liz Churchill @liz_churchill10]

Bill Gates is the definition of Treason, Satanism, Biological Warfare and Genocide.

This Sinister Bastard is requesting the WHO Treaty be implemented because he states their ‘response’ to ‘Covid’ was ‘Gold Standard Medical Care’.

FUCK OFF BILL.
EVERYONE HATES YOU.

[Simon Ateba @simonateba]

People woke up this morning in America and asked, 'You mean it will soon be a crime to criticize Israel in the United States of America, and there is now a bill for it?" Unfortunately, yes, and many are mad. You mean, you can say 'fuck Joe Biden,' but you're forbidden to say 'fuck Benjamin Netanyahu,' a corrupt Prime Minister of Israel? Unfortunately, yes. What about the First Amendment? Does it still protect Americans? Yes, but not for hate speech. But who defines hate speech? Hate speech is antisemitism and antisemitism, according to the bill, is criticism of Israel. Are we now a dictatorship? Not yet, but very close. That's the level of insanity that often leads to blowback. A corrupt and extremely incompetent PM who should have resigned following the October 7 attack is still pretending to be a great leader. People buy his nonsense, and criticism of his response to the attack is now described as antisemitism.
