History of the Road

Sorry about the SUPER late video. I've been really busy with Questions for Science, plus the research on this took FOREVER.

Hope to upload more frequently in the future. Until I get a system down, uploads will be sporadic. Thanks for sticking around!

Truly fascinating how something as "simple" as a road has such a complex history.

Hey, YouTube algorithm, you did your job bad. Here's an amazing creator, yet this video is not on my "recommend" page for some reason

Never did I think I’d be so interested in the history of the development of the road

[eltiobry]

I just love how much depth the things we take for granted have...

1:30 no doubt animal paths would have been somewhat utilized by early nomadic peoples. So saying there weren’t any dirt paths would be incorrect.

Your Back!
Love both channels. Keep up the great work

Hey this is a really awesome video. Can I ask for a list of your sources? Specifically the ones before the Egypt section?

I am researchig this concept for school. Thank you

[christiancounihan]

Thanks for the information, i am planning a history essay on roads and this helps start up and understand where to start looking for sources, my apreciations again.

i understand it has been exactly 7 months since you posted this, but can you details some sources that helped you make this video?

[MrJimmyMcGill]

Please upload more these videos are very well made and are entertaining!

I know that alot of roads in America came about from old Native American trails. Those trails were eventually made wider for horse and wagons. Then eventually became paved roads. So if you ever wonder why so many rural back roads are like they are. Its probably due to it originally being a hiking path.

I can't wait until they take construction one step further in the evolution of the road. Driving around Austin, Texas is like driving on one of those early Roman roads. Horrible!!!

The next iterations of roads may be comprised of hexagonal solar panels capable of lighting up to remove the need of paint and heating up to remove the need to salt in the winter. Any faulty panels could be quickly replaced without needing to shut down a road for a day like we do to let fresh pavement dry.

Best video about road history I’ve seen 👏
Please make one about the history of civil engineering 🙏

Trésaguet is pronounced treh (a bit of a nasal eh) zah geh (with a hard G, not a "J" one)
Very interesting stuff, it's crazy how advanced the Romans were compared to the Dark Ages stuff we had...

[WaffleKlaambe]

I thought it was pronounced Greek-o, not Grecko. Isn't it referring to Greece? If not, why?

[BeastlyKings]

Awesome video! Thanks!

Also, on your science channel, can you remake/reupload your video on black salve? Someone I know has fallen for the trap of using this stuff, and I'm having a hard time convincing them how terrible of an idea it is. I tried finding your video, but then remembered it had to come down.

Thanks!

The road started as a dirt track and it was a gravel in 6, 000 BC and it became asphalt in 1830 🪨🪨🪨➡🛣

[loamingx]

at the end you actually described man made asphalt.
man made asphalt is a mixture of petroleum and gravel
natural asphalt is limestone rock impregnated with bitumen
