Just a pretty bridge with an interesting name:

lisab

Yes. Sputnik 1 launched from there on this date (October 4 where I am) in 1957.

Sakha

Don't make me look here.

It is on that list. Sort of. But I agree, the list is too long.

Here's a hint. There was a bridge in that location long before Russians got there. Who built it?

Bridge of the Gods just about 40 mi east of Portland Oregon.

Interesting read on the history of the ancient bridge.

That appears to be the right bridge so here is another landmark.

Just to clarify. The landmark is not in the desert southwest.

Hint, The mechanisms at the landmark depend on a lot of this.

I just edited the hint above to add the word mechanisms.

Nashtifan, the ancient city of windmills

Incredible, most excellent landmark, Edward, really great.

Also most incredible that even when the concept is fully clear that it's still amazingly hard to find. Such an eminent archeologic heritage, so unknown.

A very worthy 1000th Landmark
