Ahh … the Empire State Building. Symbol of NYC, of ingenuity, of giant monkey’s who capture young girls and swat airplanes. Once the tallest building in the world, the Empire State Building has a storied past and an exciting construction history.
The year was 2630 B.C. and while it would make sense for our story, the B.C. does NOT stand for before computers. We would have to wait a few thousand more years before that modern miracle to arrive. The place was Saqqara, Egypt. The ruler on the throne was King Djoser. Back in those days, when a King took the throne, the building of his tomb was to begin almost immediately. Talk about working yourself to death! Therefore, unlike our expedited turnaround times today, our ancient construction ancestors would take 20 – 3o years to construct a building. This was 20 – 30 years with no safety plan, no technological help, no customer management software, and no modern construction luxury’s. So, how did they do it!? How did they build such a massive structure that withstood the sands of time?
We all know the story. We’ve heard it from the time we were little tykes to … well … I am sure you’ve heard it this year. Here is OUR take on the classic Twas the Night Before Christmas.
Presents:
“Twas the Night Before Christmas – Construction Edition”
Twas the night before Christmas, when all through the site,
not a worker was working, well, because it was night.
