The water distribution system at the Alhambra in Granada, Spain, built between the 13th and 15th centuries, was revolutionary. The system relied on gravity-fed channels, aqueducts, and cisterns to bring water from the Darro River. The ingenious use of pressure and elevation allowed fountains to operate without pumps.

Another remarkable footage from that court is when he appeared for the first time before an investigative judge in July 2004, not in a public trial but a preliminary legal procedure. It wasn't meant to be videotaped, but somehow it was. He was equally defiant. He refused to recognize the authority of the court, challenged the legality of the U.S. occupation, and asked the judge to identify himself. When the judge said the court was established based on a coalition power decree, he replied, "I don't recognise the coalition; it's an occupation force."
