  • Before Roman Bridges – History of Inventions – Lesson 26

    Going across terrain is hard, but it is even harder for the Romans because they would build straight roads across the landscape. They would run into a lot of streams, rivers, canyons, etc. and therefore needed to build bridges. With bridges, it is a lot easier to cross over obstacles. Bridges would mean that Rome wouldn’t have to build a longer road to the side until they found an easier way to go across a river, for example.

    But the problem of building a bridge is that it would have to be able to support the weight of a full squad of armed Romans and support the weight of chests and wagons. It would also have to be able to withstand earthquakes and thunderstorms. In the beginning, Rome built wooden bridges, but it wouldn’t be able to withstand significant weather conditions. Then they started building bridges made out of stone, there was better, but the arches couldn’t withstand the weight of Roman traffic over time the arch could collapse. So Rome kept working on the engineering problem of the arches until the bridges were able to withstand the weight and traffic of Rome. 

  • Done!

    I have finished fixing my blog. If there is a bug or something doesn’t look right comment below about it. Hope you like the new theme!

  • Duolingo

    Sometime this spring, I, Simeon, and my Dad are going to take a trip to France to visit my Grandpa and Grandma who live in Lamanon France. We will probably fly first to Paris and then from Paris, we will go to Lamanon. Nicholas, Noelle, Gideon, and a friend of Noelle’s all flew to France last February, and now it was our turn to fly to France. So Simeon and I are starting to learn French on an app called Duolingo. Duolingo is an app for teaching different languages. I like the app a lot because I can learn new French words so quickly. the app has me first learn the word it then tells me to translate it into English and it makes me say the word in French. it has me type it out into a full sentence! I have already learned a couple of words. Like “au revoir” means “Goodbye”, and “chat” means “cat” .it has a point system where you can compete against other people on duolingo if you use duolingo you can level up higher but if you don’t use duolingo often then you will start moving down on the leaderboard.

  • New Omega Theme

    Posthaven is a blog hosting service that our family uses for our various blogs, and it only costs 5$ per month our family has a total of 8 blogs. Yesterday the support team for posthaven asked their customer base if we could try out their new theme called Omega that they are still working on. A theme is a format for the way your blog will look, and it won’t change the content. So I responded to them asking if I could try it out on my Ezra Codes blog. About 1 hour or so later they responded back saying that they put the theme on the Ezra Codes blog. I went to check it out, I actually think it looks good! So when they officially release it I might use it for this blog. I love the theme because when you click on a post, it tells you the details of the post like the date and how many people have viewed it, and you can see the bio at the bottom, and you can add links to social media links in the bio.
