The Little Wild Goose pagoda was completed in 707 (about
the time Europeans learned how to pile rocks together to
make a hovel) and is now 13 stories tall. Originally 15
stories, it was split from top to bottom by a 6.25
magnituide earthquake in 1487, then slapped back together
again in a 8.0 quake in 1556 (knocked off the top two
stories though). You can climb to the top if you want.
