Bridges have KEYS to standing up =O


This was a weird but interesting fining, I knew realised how important this bit of "ancient" design was. THE KEY TO A BRIDGE! Is the middle block =O

As explained on the website i found...

THE KEYSTONE

The keystone is the most important stone in an arch bridge, without this stone the arch would collapse. The keystone holds the arch together.


Heres the link I found this useful bit of information from^^
