Ancient Technology
Example: Model developed by least squares fitting on geodetic results depicting the geometry of the ancient theatre in Aetolian Makyneia
The 6th c. BC Eupalinus aqueduct in Samos:
A masterpiece of geological, geotechnical and geodetic engineering in antiquity
We also work on modeling of the geometric characteristics of ancient structures.
Laser Scanning of the Ancient Roman bridge at Patras, Greece
We are studying how ancient engineers were able to plan and construct aqueducts etc
which require high accuracies and understanding of the theory of errors.
Examples are: quanats in Iran and the Middle East, and especially the Samos tunnel (1040m long) excavated from both portals
