“types of construction types”, come on, you’re a better writer than that 😉
Hey, people say things like that in casual conversation at times. It’s not supposed to be polished perfectly. It’s supposed to feel real…bumbled phrases and all.
Have you ever read L. Sprague De Camp’s book, “Ancient Engineers”?
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Ancient_Engineers
Between Egypt and China and around the Mediteranean Sea the early trade routes and water basin empires were established and the earliest inventions/engineering spread from end to the other by way of these trade routes from one end to the other. Sometimes it took just hearing about something new for someone in another culture to implement the same invention.
Another good book on this subject is “Flushed: How the Plumber Saved Civilization” by W. Hodding Carter http://books.google.com/books/about/Flushed.html?id=QiGdMafoOUkC
