Man. He crawls as a baby in the morning, walks on two legs at noon and walks with the aid of a cane in the evening, or old age. As to who answered first, since no one else has answered it, I must be the first!

Man is the answer to the riddle of the Sphinx, and the first person to answer it was Oedipus Rex.

Riddle of the Sphinx, simple answer. Man. Crawls on 4 legs when young, 2 legs when adult and 3 legs, with cane, when old.

I've been to Machu picchu, Petra, Giza pyramids, Karnak (at night ) Chihen itza, Masada and Mesa Verde. Was supposed to go to great wall of China and my passion - see the terracotta soldiers. But the virus happened and i haven't traveled outside US since.. its still at the top of my bucket list!!!

And to think we moan when there are roadworks on a stretch of motorway for a couple of years. Can you imagine the road sign saying “Time to completion, 2000 years” !

I'm surprised that Tikal wasn't on this list.

[piconano]

How did these ancient work with stone as if it was made of foam?!
All in the time before steel!

Bro, as a sri lankan, happy to see sigiriya . But what you show us as inside statues of budhdha, are not in the sigiriya rock, but dhambulla temple.

The answer is man, Oedipus Rex answered it.

[Leopez]

Many sculpture techniques they used w their hands “back in the day” we, even w machines, would find difficult to use. People do tend to think how could they do this and that- just like we always improving, inventing etc- they worked w what they had to create. And they created some amazing things

Would have been a huge benefit to the Video, if they told where in the world these places are.
