Note that nobody claimed that they were modern or high tech, but that they were engineered! The article claims how our society is modern and high tech because we are finally engineering stuff in the last few hundred years (where we instead just ran into mechanical and construction contraptions by accident previously?). I disagree by giving examples of engineering feats from a few thousand years ago. Btw, for "statues", I was thinking of things like the Great Sphinx of Giza or Colossus of Rhodes (Colossus was of comparable height to the Statue of Liberty).
