Скачать или смотреть Why Roman Roads Lasted 2,000 Years (Explained Simply)

Roman roads weren’t just long, straight paths — they were some of the greatest engineering projects in ancient history, built so well that many still survive today.

In this short, discover how Roman engineers used smart planning, precise surveying, layered construction, drainage, and constant maintenance to build highways that connected an entire empire.
With adorable chibi engineers, legionaries, and merchants, we break down why these roads lasted for two millennia — long after the empire that built them disappeared.

What you’ll learn:

🛤️ Why muddy paths weren’t enough for a growing empire
📏 How Roman surveyors lined up roads with remarkable straightness
🪨 How multi-layer “stone sandwich” construction made roads incredibly strong
🌧️ Why curved surfaces and drainage ditches prevented water damage
🏺 How legions, merchants, and messengers relied on these highways
🔧 Why maintenance crews kept roads in top shape for centuries
🏰 Why medieval travelers still used the same stones after Rome fell

Simple. Clear. Ingenious.
Perfect for students, ancient-history fans, and anyone who loves clever engineering explained simply.
