The major purpose of an aqueduct was to deliver water to the people in the towns. In the days before the aqueducts water was furnished by a local stream and/or wells. Sometimes rain water was collected in underground reservoirs (the so called cisterns). But streams and rivers got polluted, wells dried up because of too frequent use, and rain-water was not enough to lessen the thirst of everyone. So, if you wanted to be elected in the town council, you made a financial contribution to the construction of an aqueduct. It underlined the private wealth of the citizens and in this manner also contributed to the status of the city involved. Meaning it Influenced canals in America and transportation of water for crops.

This would include being able to be free of toxicity, and being with those you love in a calm, and unforgettable fashion. The author also states that they suffer a wholesome and joyful spirit of love and philosophy. A spirit that simply doesn't fit in the modern world, but to one of an ancient manner. The author can't feel true joy unless reviewing the sacred text or wonders of an ancient world. History holds the true world in which life is simple and joyful.

6: The author prefers other/ancient time periods because he is in the utter ignorance that haunted his era. He was also upset with the lack of quality literature of his time. He also believed that other time periods held wonders in the form of literature or land that the modern world couldn't offer him. These ancient eras held a joyful spirit, and taught you how to live a truly serene life.
