Why do Moroccans eat lentils?
Surprising as it may seem, Moroccans do not eat lintels, nor do they eat the doors whose frames the lintels support. Moroccans, like most humans, find wood and stone inedible and therefore do not try to consume them. If you meant "lentils" instead of "lintels", then the reason why Moroccans eat lentils is because of the protein value and relative inexpensiveness as compared with meat.

Why was the round arch better than the pillars and lintels?
The round arch was superior to pillars and lintels because it effectively distributed weight, allowing for larger and more stable structures. Unlike flat lintels, which can sag under pressure, the curved design of the arch directs forces downwards and outward, minimizing stress on any single point. This innovation enabled architects to create expansive interior spaces and taller buildings, facilitating the construction of iconic structures like aqueducts and cathedrals. Additionally, the round arch provided greater aesthetic versatility, enhancing architectural designs throughout history.
