- Join us as we journey along 15 Ancient Roads That Still Exist Today, pathways steeped in history that once connected mighty civilizations. Built for trade, military conquests, and cultural exchanges, these roads were the lifelines of empires, facilitating the movement of goods, armies, and ideas. Remarkably, many of these routes are still visible and, in some cases, still in use.

I was a technical writer for 17 years. Besides the technical material I was responsible for, I also wrote many scripts for speeches, videos, and presentations. As a result, I am often extremely critical of the scripts that accompany the videos I see on TH-cam. It is truly a pleasure for me to say that this was one of the best scripts that I have ever seen on this platform. I applaud not only the writer(s) but also the narrator and the video editor(s). This was one of the best videos I have seen and I enjoyed it immensely. Congratulations to all involved.

@@JamesWoodring-mu2iz That sh* t don't hurt a mf thing. I actually thought it was quite well said. I just also found the next comment extremely amusing.
Was no need to call attention to it. But it was still funny. Don't hate when " YOU " don't know the context sweetie pie. 💯🤗
Either way it's " all " perception.
@@AprilReignsHere78 all good darling ! its easy to spot a narcissist! like you dumpling! as a military vet from a military family ive seen clowns like come and go! better luck next time!
This is a very interesting video. Thank you very much.
Lots of modern features for as old as the roads are. Very impressive! 😊😊😊😊❤❤❤❤
You totally missed the "The Grand Trunk Road" .
Existed before 322 BCE-present with a distance of 2300 miles .
what do you expect? this guy thinks roads in America and Australia are "ancient".
@@bvbxiong5791 Exactly what I thought
This might be my favourite episode of all ROADS videos presented in this channel.
lol dont get out much do you jr!
The "K" in Knossos is not silent, and stress is on second "o"...
What an amazing and interesting video. Thank you for sharing this.
Number 1 road must be Grand Trunk Road constructed in 16th century by a Muslim ruler Sher Shah Suri and joins kabul in Afghanistan to Colkata in India, running through Peshawar, Rawalpindi Lahore in Pakistan , Amratser, Dehli and so on to kolcata in in India. Still existing and optimally operational.
Sher Shah realigned it ,did not build ,it existed 322 BC and was called Uttarapatha (Northern road) , Improvements on the road started from Ashoka to British to todays respected countries.
Uttarapath and Dakshinapath existed thousands of years prior to Sher Shah Suri. They are Mahajanapada era highways which were later renovated by various empires like the Mauryans, Guptas, Suris, and Mughals. Sher Shah did not construct them, only renovated and realigned the route.
I grew up in a locality located on GT Road :)
"ancient roads" but has an American road. seems like we have different definitions of "ancient".
well presented - thank you
I had expected Via Appia ...
When you find that the video includes roads in the US and Australia, you know it has nothing to do with "ancient"!
One that I liked, and have hiked myself, is the old salt road. Between Schnakenbek and Lütau it is very well preserved (www.google.com/maps/@53.4086461,10.5222888,3a,90y,36.65h,81.99t/data=!3m7!1e1!3m5!1sgjtGZlf7VwT_bV5TN7wGNQ!2e0!6shttps:%2F%2Fstreetviewpixels-pa.googleapis.com%2Fv1%2Fthumbnail%3Fpanoid%3DgjtGZlf7VwT_bV5TN7wGNQ%26cb_client%3Dmaps_sv.share%26w%3D900%26h%3D600%26yaw%3D36.65400193014911%26pitch%3D8.00561588239053%26thumbfov%3D90!7i16384!8i8192?coh=205410&entry=ttu). The road is still open to traffic, I watched cars on it though they had to drive slowly due to the uneven surface.
EL CAMINO REAL The royal road that connected the string of Catholic missions starting in Mexico and extending north to the San Francisco Bay region.
There is a similar mission trail in western Texas.
Thanks for your video, it was a very much interesting l my self didn't know it existed,❤😊
What happened to the Apian way? I think much of it still exists.
Egnatia is the main road artery in Thessaloniki's City center. The same name is used and it's above the ancient one.
You forgot the Appalachian Trail in America that begins in Maine to down to Georgia going through the Smokey, Shenandoah, Blue Ridge mountains and as far north as the Notre Dame mountains in Quebec. Many people take time off and hike the whole trail 2,198 miles - 3537 kilometers. its stunning
I find this video incomprehensible in parts. First off, it would be useful to know how you came up with your ranking. Is it agewise? Because I was very confused when some regional road in the UK was classed higher than the silk road, which is one of the most influential road networks in European history. Also, you reference some roads made by convicts in Australia relatively recently with footage which clearly features someone else, and you don't mention the Via Appia? Then there's that ancient road in Jordan, where the towns you mention are not noted on the map you've shown, and for someone unfamiliar with the region it's hard to orient oneself when even modern day borders are missing. Which is something of a theme throughout the video. I would prefer that each road was introduced by a map which clearly marks beginning and end of the road and references the landmarks mentioned.
Greetings from the BIG SKY.
Love Montana, spent a great summer in(2 spoons) aka Three Forks, 😂😂😂love the Gallatin Valley....love Montana, just down the road, further south, Colorado....close to Wyoming ❤
@@bethewalt7385 Greetings from the BIG SKY.I like 2 spoons. The only goose I ever shot at was near there. I fished the Jefferson and East Gallatin a lot. Good trout.
Grand Trunk Road. The greatest of them all. Missing from your list.
16:55 ... The map shown doesn't seem to show the route from Cadiz to Narbonne ... ??
Fareed ud Deen Sher Shah Suri, Sultan of Delhi (1538-1540), had built a road from Peshawar (now in Pakistan) to Bengal (now Bangladesh) with rest areas and a postal relay system. Part of it is preserved and can be seen in Islamabad.
Uttarapath and Dakshinapath existed thousands of years prior to Sher Shah Suri. They are Mahajanapada era (before 322 bce) highways which were later renovated by various empires like the Mauryans, Guptas, Suris, and Mughals. Sher Shah did not construct them, only renovated and realigned the route.
They don’t make them like they used to. There’s more money in disposable junk.
I'm sure those were not the original materials anymore. They’ve been restored many many times.
@@Crazy-Clown-In-Town But my statement still stands.
@@iteerrex8166no it dosent. The ancient roads didn’t have 80,000 lb trucks rolling over them constantly. Or cars for that matter, mostly foot and horse/buggies
@@Kopalchuck It was a general statement.
So, no Portuguese Roads that date back to Roman times, but American and Australian that seem to be less than 400 years?
You missed the Alliance Way ....🤔🤔
Grand Funk RR is my favorite road.
In Canada as well has brick streets but not ancient and is nice to see!I believe gas town in Vancouver BC Canada is at least one place!Some humour in BC as it does not have to be or maybe stand for British Columbia but can also stand for and/or be explained as (B)RING (C)ASH because it is quite possibly the most expensive province in Canada???Some believe BC is the most beautiful province but in Canada as whole it might be the Yukon territory,far north which is like gods country!
There are streets in Temple, Bell County, Texas that still has brick streets
Are you a lady with stunningly long hair? I adore women who grow theirs that way, describe it please?
Not ancient.
There are streets in Temple Texas, Bell County that still have brick paved streets, grammatically that flows better, there are other ways it can be stated that will still flow nicely, the comment I read, was grammatically painful, a handful of word garbage😂😂😂😂kids these days! The decline and decay of language is abhorrent...😢😢
My hair is down to my waist, it's been longer, additionally it's thick, tough to deal with but I prefer long hair and it grows sooooo fast it's hard to keep on top of, I got the good hair gene, realize I'm not the person you questioned but I saw your comment...😅
@@bethewalt7385 I admire women that grow their hair luxurious lengths and find it beautiful.
Your hair sounds absolutely fabulous and that is Rapunzel length for sure. How do you usually like to wear all that hair and do you like people to touch or play in it all? Speaking of that, do you like roleplays, I have one in mind if you're interested and maybe talk more about all your glorious hair?
Carolina / Massachusetts: with Viennese Fiaker! 😂
Would be nice to hear how old those roads are when you make video from ancient roads 🤷 thats why i ended tgis videos here 3:10
🙏🙏
The convicts shown were actually American prisoners. Please it’s not hard to google Australian convicts.
Actually, they were actors including Mickey Rooney and Paul Muni. 9:43
Why bring up any roads just a few 100 years old? No mention of any north European roads?! Sweden have still used roads dating back and used since the stone age, for example. Karleby which is apr 4000 years old.
I'm sure “ancient”roads in Sweden is a hoax. Everything in Europe that claims “ancient” is fake.
Via is actually pronounced as "Wee-a". The V in Latin is pronounced like the W in English.
I usually like your videos, but I don't think you can call any roads in the US for ancient LOL (if they weren't made by the original americans, that is.)
The Ancient Silk Road!! You have it as a sea route around the south of Greece when, in actuality, it went from Turkey OVERLAND to Thessaloniki in Northern Greece, through Albania, Croatia Italy the road STILL EXISTS...... Who does your research ???
I miss the UK so very much. I am now quite handicz[[ed and cannot roam the world as I did before. No more biking through diffeerent countries now.
I do so miss the UK.
The Japan road looks awfully bumpy. Horses hurt a great deal?
VIA pronounced when using adjacent to a road is said VEE-AH not VIE-AH.......
Just ignorant of rocky road photos…how were they usable?
Via Appia?
Herotodus? or is it Herodotus?
You missed Interstate 49 between Shreveport and Lafayette, Louisiana. It saves you from having to go through Shreveport, and travelers going north/south from having to take highways 1 or 71.
Not all of them ancient.
Yes, you pronounced Hong Kong correctly.
Was he being sarcastic? Cuz Hong Kong is perhaps the only place in China that's easy to pronounce.
if you know nothing about ancient mighty Grand Trunk Road of india-Pakistan-Afghanistan.... then you should go to wikipedia.....
Some are not "ancient" roads.
Is Charlie Sheen narrating this?
Roads? Check out their PLUMBING that still works!
the drawing of a Roman road has been made by someone who has no idea of how these roads look lie and were built: it would be idiotic to line uo the flat stones in such a way that wheels could easily get stuck between them, even if larger that the original crack. Pictures of real Roman roads show that, as a matter of fact
Ummm… The Appian Way, my guy.
DON'T FORGET ABOUT THE VIA DOLOROSA IN ISRAEL, THE PATH OF JESUS TO THE CROSS!!
If it’s from the 17 hundreds it is not ancient😂
Call me silly but, is this narrated by Charlie Sheen?
more of history channel history than archeological history... so a lot of fallacies and assumption are involved
im not going to sugar coat anything i don't like the narrator voice so i gave this a thumbs down n no subscribe
Everyone needs salvation here are the words of salvation please forgive me jesus im a sinner come into my heart and save me from my sin I no that you are the savior and I no that you died for me on calvary and I no that God raise you from the dead and you are alive and I thankyou for your salvation in Jesus holy name amen and its important to always ask for forgiveness every night
Buddha bless😊
