Amidst the chaos of Libya today, one often forgets its 7000 year-long history of engineering and culture. Ghadames, known as the 'pearl of the desert', is one of the oldest cities in the Sahara, a UNESCO world heritage site, and the site of an ancient water distribution system. Beautiful cinematography captures the wonders of the early aqueducts, still admired by engineers today.
