Pride can be a real killer and was.


Frontinus' was justly proud of the Roman aqueduct system which made possible the growth of cities such as Rome, Ephesos, and yes...finally....even that little shithole Jerusalem. Water is vital for human life. If the Egyptologists are right the pyramids were a tomb for a single man. Talk about vanity!
