The engineer guy on YouTube did an episode the engineering method explaining how ancient and medieval Masons built stuff without math. https://youtu.be/_ivqWN4L3zU?si=2N_iyZiBD8eDpltR

Though I am sure the Romans used plenty of math during the construction of many of their projects.

That video shows that all of those ancient engineers relied heavy on math. What do think math is, if not all of the engineering principles laid out in that video?
