Are high rise buildings and skyscrapers development or innovation that started only during the twentieth century? Definitely not. Here's the proof :
Below are pictures of the still existing high-rise (skyscrapers?) building of Shibam in Yemen. These high-rise buildings are made of mud and rise as high as 100 feet (30 meters). The city of Shibam is said to be in existence for 1,700 years and its high-rise buildings were built in the 16th century.
