“Construction of Cologne Cathedral began in 1248 but was halted in the years around 1560, unfinished. Attempts to complete the construction began around 1814 but the project was not properly funded until the 1840s.”
If a building took one year to build, but they didn't work on the weekends, would you object and say no, it only took 260 days?
So would you say it took 200 years to build Analytical Engine, or would you consider the Babbages original attempt and the current day attempt two separate projects?
> If the emperor demands, it will be built.
The emperor rules for 50 years at best. His descendants may have different demands.
and you can clearly see which part was done by which architect, as it's style, and structure shifts. Is the same vision of Gaudi still present in more modern parts of it?
(personally i think no, after seeing on vacation)
