The Catalogue has copies of the 1502 plans that Leonardo di ser Piero da Vinci produced for Ottoman Sultan Beyazid II of Constantinople as a civil engineering project for a single span 720-foot bridge intended to span an inlet at the mouth of the Bosporus known as the Golden Horn. Beyazid did not pursue the project because he believed that such a construction was impossible. Leonardo's vision was resurrected in 2001 when a smaller bridge based on his design was constructed in Norway (Wikipedia).
Time stays long enough for anyone who will use it.
