Description	Civil Engineering mural at Griffith Observatory, by Hugo Ballin. An Egyptian is holding the symbol of life over water pumped by two oxen onto a tree. In his left hand he holds a scepter in the form of a flail and measuring rod symbolic of driving men to work. Behind him is a pyramid illustrative of ancient engineering. The two powerful figures are the struggling internal earth's forces causing the earthquake above them. On the right a young surveyor stands holding a leveling rod. In front of him is an Altazimuth Theodolite. Behind him is the plan of Boulder Dam. Commercial photograph by Sam Little.
