The seven hurdles: 1. Congo River 2. Strait of Gibraltar 3. Ferry in Siberia 4. Highways throughout eastern Siberia 5. 3 bridges over the Bering Strait, including roads over the Diomede islands 6. Even more highways throughout Alaska until Fairbanks 7. The Darien Gap
Ik they don't really count as separate hurdles (and seven is cooler for historical reasons) but you'd have to establish even more highway up to Nome before you could get to Fairbanks
Imagine going on foot from South Africa to Argentina. At 100 km every week, it would take 520 weeks or 10 years. The memories one would make on the way would be transformational!
Perhaps tunnels in some of these spots would be more feasible? Generally, tunnels are more expensive than bridges, but when talking about crossing open ocean where weather and waves need to be accounted for, perhaps Chunnel-like crossings would end up being safer and more practical.
Imagine a story where the protagonists have to take this roadtrip for whatever reason because the seas and the skies weren't safe anymore. Like a Lord of the Rings quest from one end of the world to the other. That would be badass.
From the harsh deserts, dangerous terrorist organizations, and wild animals of Africa, through the relatively peaceful lush scenery of Europe, into the terror-filled drylands of Isis, the cold desolate snowlands of Northeastern Russia, and Druglord/paramilitary infested marshlands of central America.... Yeah. That would make one hell of a story/movie.

@@EdmondLups Yes it would result in a small econimic rise in those very poor countries. But a road wouldnt result in a huge econimic rise. The main problem is that there is a big percentage of land not really suitable for agriculture and that there is not a strong country but a failed state which means large corporations profit from resources and not the local population etc.

English, Spanish, French, and Russian would actually probably cover you nearly everywhere on the route. Only other ones are Portuguese, Arabic, German, and Polish.

I met my wife in Vietnam in mid 1990's and I lived in the US. While we were waiting for the legal paperwork to be processed in order to bring her here, I would have to fly to Vietnam to visit her. But due to the air plane crashes going on during those years, I always had a fantasy of my own: I wished that there was a road long enough for me to drive from the US to Vietnam so I could visit my wife. I knew it was a crazy fantasy because I knew having a road to connect from the US all the way to Asia and ultimately to Vietnam, the destination I wanted to reach, could only be deemed possible in my dreams. So I kept it to myself the whole time. When I saw the title of this video I quickly remember of the 30 year old fantasy about driving all the way from the US to Vietnam just to visit my wife, I've got to see it. After watching it, it proves that I was actually crazy to think about driving from the US to Vietnam. Even today's technology cannot accomplish such crazy task let alone it was 30 years ago. I must admit that I was crazy. Thank you for making this video!
We could do it, but it wouldn't be profitable so nobody would do it. I'd love it if they built a magnetic vacuum train but currently that'd be very, very expensive.
UB3RFR3NZY yeah that would more likely get build if the technology gets better or something like hyperloop ;) hyperloop around the world would be really great, cause its so fast and is still expensive, so very useful for long distances
About time you went go all way across you need a set of new tires and don't forget oil changes will have to be done throughout the journey so bring you a couple of oil jugs and a couple oil filters in a few tools 😆🤣🤣🤣
Why do we have to cross Mediterrain Sea?? In my eyes driving around it over Suez Channel and Israel to Europe is also "around the world". And also cheaper ^^
Der KinoDreher nearly all highways going from South Africa tend to go west towards Europe, going east usually brings more problems, also, its harder to connect the rest of the world(I.e Europe). You should watch the channel 'Half as Interesting' he covers basically what's in this video
The only reason to go over the Mediterranean Sea would be to save money building roads across the Suez Canal route. This doesn't appear to be the case. I feel it is a bit disingenuous to say it would cost so much to build a bridge across the Strait of Gibraltar when it isn't really needed to complete the journey.
If you test it on Google Maps, the route from Spain is several thousand Km longer than the route from Suez, but several hours faster, because the fastest highways are mostly on the Atlantic Coast and Europe. Besides, the point is to connect the major world cities, so you can't do that without the major cities in Europe.
They should make all the roads atleast 15 lanes. And have strict traffic rules and also pull over people who are going to high or too slow from the speed limit. Also have a lot of cameras for fining people.
If we built a road around the world: Americans will be driving trucks all over it. Germans will treat it as Autobahn and exceed 400km/h. Koreans will shoot MVs on it. Chinese will sell sweet potatoes on the side.
I like how every other obstacle involved nature or the environment, then there's the Darien Gap which is an obstacle not only because of the environment but also because of humans.
Yeah, it was clear something was off when the horizontal Eurasian road took as long to travel as the vertical African one, but the Eurasian one was just stretched cause it was at the top.
I'm truly transformed by this material. A book discussing these topics was a milestone in my personal evolution. "A Life Unplugged: Reclaiming Reality in a Digital Age" by Theodore Blaze
Do we need the bridge across the Gibraltar strait and the Congo river? With just a few cheap roads across flat deserts in Egypt, you could complete a drive from Cape Town to Cairo and then cross the Suez into Asia all the way to Siberia without any expensive construction. The only real challenges are Russian roads in Siberia, bridge across Bering, roads in Alaska and roads across Darien Gap.
Punta Arenas is not the 'southernmost city in the world', but rather the southernmost city on the American continent. (The Chilean province furthest south of that city is 'Tierra del Fuego', and it is actually geographically an island with an official name: "Isla Grande de Tierra del Fuego") . The southernmost city in the world is Puerto Williams (Chile), and the southernmost towns and territories below that city are Cabo de Hornos and the Diego Ramirez Islands, also in Chile.
But what side of the road would we drive on?
Good question!
Left in left driving countries and switch to right in right driving countries. Or if you have to pick one then right because most of the world drives on the right side.
Why can't the entire world agree on one side of the road to drive on?
You will have to trade with cars at the border for Right/Left Driver to cross legally
Because America still uses the measuring system the brits left them, aka imperial, meaning british empire

And i think that going away from earth is not depressive. it's like a move, but at a bigger scale making us able to discover new things and understand better the universe. i talk from billion of years from now, but we will more probably all be dead and the natural selection will make better being. I can prove that we are not the best being already because you don't agree with me and i don't agree with you.
Earth would become uninhabitable in a billion years so... yeah, wait like 250 million years or so
The political challenges are probably far greater than the engineering challenges!
One of the politically most difficult ones would be africa to spain. Because of mass imigration over a bridge
GodMode Russia to America........
@@godmode8687 Actually a lot of those would be resolved as that road would see opportunities rise in those places those people are from and thus reduce economic migration...
@@EdmondLups Yes it would result in a small econimic rise in those very poor countries. But a road wouldnt result in a huge econimic rise. The main problem is that there is a big percentage of land not really suitable for agriculture and that there is not a strong country but a failed state which means large corporations profit from resources and not the local population etc.
and traffic laws will be a problem too
4:10 You can connect Indonesia via Malaysia with Sumatra, and then connect Java to Sumatra, then Bali, and continuing those strip of islands until Dili in East TImor.
I loved everytime he said, "But let's assume it is built"
What if Toyota Corolla Empire reunited today?
These Toyota Corolla jokes getting real old
no they arent, these jokes are amazing
Ringmaster it is still owning the world
And what will you drive in
A Toyota Corolla
Mohamed.S Khan land rover for the win
Nik But McLaren Hondas are not
I would like to drive in a widebody hyundai genesis coupe. IF I HAD ONE.
Yeah cuz RealLifeLore drives a Corolla
Mohamed.S Khan a Nissan Leaf.
RRL: Europe, Asia and Africa are already on single road system
Also RRL: Becasue the shortest route on google maps from cape town to western Europe goes through Kinshasa and the straight of Gibraltar we need to build bridges and tunnels there now, even though it's perfectly possible and within the task we named at the beginning of the video to drive arround them
Also them: let's mark the siberian ferry over 1000km away from it's actual location
I'm commenting before watching. As an Australian I will love to see what happens in my neighbourhood.
If this is possible then it wouldn't be surprising if you learnt 10 languages on your trip
English, Spanish, French, and Russian would actually probably cover you nearly everywhere on the route. Only other ones are Portuguese, Arabic, German, and Polish. But you could probably get by with one of the others in those places too. But there are lots of other smaller languages spoken as well especially in Africa.
@@Zakmmr In Africa you would be fine with English and French
@@realtwovo more like English and Arabic.
@@GGhost_ no There is a lot of French speakers than Arabic in Africa. That in Ghana you have to take French so you can understand you them. Also French in easier
Ok
I met my wife in Vietnam in mid 1990's and I lived in the US. While we were waiting for the legal paperwork to be processed in order to bring her here, I would have to fly to Vietnam to visit her. But due to the air plane crashes going on during those years, I always had a fantasy of my own: I wished that there was a road long enough for me to drive from the US to Vietnam so I could visit my wife.
I knew it was a crazy fantasy because I knew having a road to connect from the US all the way to Asia and ultimately to Vietnam, the destination I wanted to reach, could only be deemed possible in my dreams. So I kept it to myself the whole time. When I saw the title of this video I quickly remember of the 30 year old fantasy about driving all the way from the US to Vietnam just to visit my wife, I've got to see it. After watching it, it proves that I was actually crazy to think about driving from the US to Vietnam. Even today's technology cannot accomplish such crazy task let alone it was 30 years ago.
I must admit that I was crazy.
Thank you for making this video!
We could do it, but it wouldn't be profitable so nobody would do it. I'd love it if they built a magnetic vacuum train but currently that'd be very, very expensive.
UB3RFR3NZY yeah that would more likely get build if the technology gets better or something like hyperloop ;) hyperloop around the world would be really great, cause its so fast and is still expensive, so very useful for long distances
So many plane crashes that driving would be safer? Doubt it.
anticorncob6 It was just a thought of fantasy. I didn’t know if that would be even possible
Huỳnh Gia Tuyên You just got your hundredth like
Get this man to 4.69 subs!!
About time you went go all way across you need a set of new tires and don't forget oil changes will have to be done throughout the journey so bring you a couple of oil jugs and a couple oil filters in a few tools 😆🤣🤣🤣
Why do we have to cross Mediterrain Sea?? In my eyes driving around it over Suez Channel and Israel to Europe is also "around the world". And also cheaper ^^
Der KinoDreher nearly all highways going from South Africa tend to go west towards Europe, going east usually brings more problems, also, its harder to connect the rest of the world(I.e Europe). You should watch the channel 'Half as Interesting' he covers basically what's in this video
The only reason to go over the Mediterranean Sea would be to save money building roads across the Suez Canal route. This doesn't appear to be the case. I feel it is a bit disingenuous to say it would cost so much to build a bridge across the Strait of Gibraltar when it isn't really needed to complete the journey.
I guess they want to make it longer and include Europe? But yeah agreed they don't need to
If you test it on Google Maps, the route from Spain is several thousand Km longer than the route from Suez, but several hours faster, because the fastest highways are mostly on the Atlantic Coast and Europe. Besides, the point is to connect the major world cities, so you can't do that without the major cities in Europe.
yes, but then you will have to cross almost all war ridden middle eastern countries + ISIS territory...
Imagine the road rage and traffic on there
A lot of suka blyats.
Russian is the international insult language
They should make all the roads atleast 15 lanes. And have strict traffic rules and also pull over people who are going to high or too slow from the speed limit. Also have a lot of cameras for fining people.
Clorox Bleach UGH. 😑
Clorox Bleach then people would want to drink you. (Get it?)
If a road like this is ever built I will definitely try it
Wow that would be amazing😀

If we built a road around the world:
Americans will be driving trucks all over it.
Germans will treat it as Autobahn and exceed 400km/h.
Koreans will shoot MVs on it.
Chinese will sell sweet potatoes on the side.
all countries will argue about changing their part and one country complains about the others country driving laws
Colson Xu However China isn't
large agricultural country only

@@Bertox110 very true but the Europeans the Russians and the Africans would get the advantage due to numbers
Colson Xu you are not wrong
I like how every other obstacle involved nature or the environment, then there's the Darien Gap which is an obstacle not only because of the environment but also because of humans.
that would be a really nice road trip to do.
Roads: 233 billion
Roadtrip: about 2 months
Dangerous: yes
Hotel: Trivago
LOL🤣🤣🤣
Funny? Not
doodskie999 you mean 1 month
Your profile tho,🤦🏽♂️
It actually only takes 1 month. (It's only 28 days)
The Mercator Projection makes the russian part of the road seem longer than it really is, but yes it is indeed still quite lengthy.
Yeah, it was clear something was off when the horizontal Eurasian road took as long to travel as the vertical African one, but the Eurasian one was just stretched cause it was at the top.
gives u an iidea how large of a continent Africa really is.

Quite right.

Darien Forney i dont consider this a RLL video if he never mentions a Toyota Corolla, literally unwatchable *ugh*
Nanashi but they are driving a toyota corolla on this highway
See Ivan, why do you need a car when you can teleport?
30 days to travel across the world. That would be an epic road trip.
Do we need the bridge across the Gibraltar strait and the Congo river? With just a few cheap roads across flat deserts in Egypt, you could complete a drive from Cape Town to Cairo and then cross the Suez into Asia all the way to Siberia without any expensive construction.
The only real challenges are Russian roads in Siberia, bridge across Bering, roads in Alaska and roads across Darien Gap.

Punta Arenas is not the 'southernmost city in the world', but rather the southernmost city on the American continent. (The Chilean province furthest south of that city is 'Tierra del Fuego', and it is actually geographically an island with an official name: "Isla Grande de Tierra del Fuego")
.
The southernmost city in the world is Puerto Williams (Chile), and the southernmost towns and territories below that city are Cabo de Hornos and the Diego Ramirez Islands, also in Chile.
