Did you know England had the world's tallest building, Lincolnshire Cathedral. This was the first building in 4000 years to be higher than the great pyramid of Giza.
4000 years is insane, why did it take so long to build anything bigger?

Its between Baker and Benteke I think Yubby. Senderos Vlaar and Cissokho are just a bit shorter. I wonder if crouch was our tallest building?

Interesting stats Yubby. Looks like we only have a hand full of players under 6 foot.
No one has explained why the pyramids were the biggest buildings in the world for 4000 years. You would have thought technology would have improved and not got worse until the last few centuries.
