The eccentric engineer

WE HAVEN´T talked about ancient engineering for a while now, having been up to our knees in molasses and malfunctioning toilets, so this month I??d like to take you back to every child??s favourite piece of engineering - the secret tomb. If you haven??t ever imagined yourself as a latter-day Indiana Jones, dashing down concealed corridors and dodging ancient booby-traps to discover a priceless treasure, then you really should, not least because there??s actually a grain of truth to the movie legend.
