The Binks: An Ancient Greek Civilization

These roads and other means of infrastructure were utilized by Muslims to spread Islamic civilization. Roads used were past Silk and Roman roads, that had untapped potential due to the fall of the Western Roman Empire. Document 8 shows the growth of the muslim empire in 632 to 750, where it can be seen that Muslims stayed close to previous Roman and Silk routes. These routes provided safer and easier means of transportation for troops, in addition to a steady way to spread the word of Islam. In conquests up to the year 750, the Islamic empire had spread in the west up to modern day northern Spain (Document 8).

The Ancient people used this very often according to all of the documents they all state that they transport goods and they all had to do this. They all had to do this for more than one day so this would be a everyday

During the time of the ancient Greeks we read about their remarkable achievements; whether it be social, political, or cultural, we would not understand their accomplishments if it weren’t for their precise interpretation of text and the development of a lasting language. When looking at our lives today, the lack of credit which goes to our ancient descendants is beyond decent; for the lives in which they established for themselves, only furthered our capability and our potential of exceeding what was never imagined. A civilization where individuals look to the text, the mathematical equations, and the records from that of the ancient Greeks and learn from it. Between their development of the written word, the idea of the recorded time, as

Walking, that’s the original mode of transportation. The only things that could be moved are the things that can be carried and the furthest part of the world was the furthest part a human could walk to. Then came sailboats and wheels and the world was drastically changed forever. Everything changed. No one could walk on water so sailboats were the first things used to travel the rest of the world. There was more land and more water than anyone man could walk to. Sailboats helped with that. When someone arrives in those places how is he or she supposed to carry everything? That is when the wheel became so important. People had carriages and wagons and animals to pull those things which are on wheels. The entire world changed as transportation

The roads ended up reaching all the way to Modern Day Egypt and Northwestern Europe. Document 4a explains Rome’s need for good roads. “Roads meant that orders, troops, and supplies could be sent quickly throughout the empire.” Rome was able to be quick and efficient in war because they chose to develop their geography to their advantage. Document 4b shows the intelligent way. Romans built their roads. They made three layers: large stones, small stones, and cobble, making it curved, with ditches on either side for drainage, to prevent

They were paved through the country, made by quarried stone and packed tightly with sand. It was all level, and the whole road was measured and marked by stones and stone columns as distance indicators. By doing these things, these leaders helped their people to not have to do as much work, and without technology it would not have been

While expanding their empires, the Han and Rome each created thousands of miles of roads. These roads helped move armies and connect

One of the things the Romans were famous for was their road system. There is a reason for the quote “All roads lead to Rome” (Doc.3) because it is definitely true. For example the Romans had over 85,000 km. of roads across their empire (Doc.3). There were three main uses of the Roman roads.

The romans had the Sea Lanes, that were roads that connected ports, making possible the transportation of grain from city to city, for example. They also had the Tiber River, which made the city grow a lot. It was the natural highway for traffic in Latium, and provided an early defense against neighbors. And the Roman Roads, that linked all the
