Living Bridge - email forwarded by Gallege De Silva.

Very interesting & fascinating
 

MEHGALAYA
 is a tribal kingdom in Assam .
It is jammed between Bangladesh and Bhutan .
It is near SHILLONG, the capital.
See the photos of the area under Shillong on the
internet - very beautiful.
Cheerapunji is a town near by that gets the highest
rainfall in the world!


The most successful execution / construction of

living Bridges with a life span of many centuries
in one of the most remote parts of the World.
Man making nature work for him.

I couldn't comprehend what they meant by a

living bridge until I watched this.

Quite a unique concept for folks who have limited

technical education, but seemingly have sufficient
common sense to survive. No civil engineering is
involved at all.
