  It's "maybe in some ways". But roman concrete benefitted from sheer massive size to maintain compression. But we have modern methods that could potentially last 2000 years as well but we'll be dead before we find out.

Brilliant - In just a few words you have summed up what I'm sure took 9 minutes to explain in that video. Thanks Dave!
