The bridge, the man, the amazement!
It is said that in the Sahara village of Amran Province, far away in Yemen, there is such a bridge, and it is not an ordinary bridge.
When you first see a picture of the bridge, you're guaranteed to have your eyes almost fall out and your mouth open enough to swallow an egg. The bridge hangs between two mountains, with a bottomless canyon below, and steep cliffs on either side of the bridge.
This is simply the ancient version of the "Sky Road", and one can't help but ask: How was this bridge built? Could it be that the ancients also played the game of "flying over the canyon"?
Don't worry, let's unveil the mystery of this "Bridge of Sighs" today and see how the ancients played it.

Legends: The Origin of the Bridge and Those Who "Heard"
If you want to understand the Bridge of Sighs, of course, you have to start with its origins. However, the local villagers' accounts about the origin of the bridge are really varied, and they are even more lively than the gossip of the aunts in the vegetable market.
Some people say that this bridge was built by young people from two villages in ancient times for a date. Every full moon night, they will meet on this bridge to share their hearts.
Although this statement is romantic, it doesn't feel very reliable no matter how you think about it. After all, the cost of building such a difficult bridge for dating is too great, right?
Others say that the bridge was actually built by aliens. They came to Earth in ancient times and thought that this place was beautiful, so they built this bridge as a sightseeing spot.
It's quite creative, but we still have to believe in science, and we can't just blame aliens for all the credit.
In fact, the most reliable theory is this: in ancient times, people living on two peaks wanted to communicate with each other and hang out with each other. But what if there's a canyon in between?
So they decided to build a bridge. They don't have modern technology? It doesn't matter! They have wisdom and courage. In this way, a small bridge was built little by little next to the steep peak.
Then work together to move the construction materials back and forth on both sides. Over time, the Bridge of Sighs has been formed. Although this statement still needs to be verified, no matter how you listen to it, it feels much more reliable than the previous two.

Exploration: The crystallization of wisdom and courage
Speaking of which, we really have to talk about the "black technology" of the ancients. In an era when there were no cranes, excavators, or even a seat belt, they were able to build such a bridge!
It's like playing a game of "Minecraft", only using your hands to pick up trees and dig stones, but in the end you create the feeling of a Forbidden City!
Think about us modern people, there are all kinds of high-tech equipment during construction, and it is nothing to build a bridge or a building. But what about the ancients?
It's like they're "naked" into battle, with nothing but wisdom in their hands and heads. They have to figure out the principles of mechanics, study the properties of materials, and always have a reverence for nature.
This feeling is like cooking for the first time, there are no recipes, no tutorials, you can only try little by little, add more salt and water, add more water, and finally be able to make a decent meal.
To be honest, the hardships and difficulties involved are really hard for us modern people to imagine. But the ancients did just that! Not only did they do it, but they did it so well! This is simply a "divine operation" that amazes the whole world!
So, this Bridge of Sighs is more than just a bridge. It is also a symbol of the wisdom and courage of the ancients, and it is a miracle created by them with their hands and wisdom.

Revelation: The Power of Inheritance
Standing on this ancient building, known as the "Bridge of Sighs", it seems that a low sigh rings in my ears.
Don't get me wrong, this is not that the bridge is "complaining" about his age, but that we seem to be able to travel through time and space and hear the true voices of the ancients - it is their helpless sigh for life, but also their deep hope for a better future.
Those ancients, who did not have so many "high-tech assistants" as we do now, relied on their own hands and full of wisdom to put together stones and logs into this bridge across the canyon.
As they built it, they may still be muttering, "If this bridge collapses, I will be sinners for thousands of years!" But in the end, not only did they not become sinners, but they also became heroes! Because they not only communicated the people at both ends, but also left a strong mark in the long river of history.
This bridge is like a "living fossil", witnessing the wisdom and courage of the ancients.
Every time I walk on it, I can feel the power of inheritance, which seems to tell us: "No matter how the times change and how technology develops, we must have the courage to resist nature and the belief in pursuing a better life." ”
That's right, it is this spirit that enabled the ancients to persevere and forge ahead in the face of difficulties and challenges. It is precisely because of this spirit that they can leave their mark in the torrent of history and become the "great gods" admired by future generations.
