This road was built with the african rocks slave ships used to weigh down their hulls. This stabilized their shipments and lighter voyages.

Actuall, this is a snap of a Roman road in Wales, one of the few that is still in use. It is near Dynevwr Castle, longtime center of the Rhys peerage.

Nope. I took it myself on River Street (The Riverwalk) in Savannah Georgia.

Sorry, you are mistaken. All roads lead to Rome.

It's true. Colonial roads were made with staggered cobblestones, staggered kind of like the bricks of a wall. This is certainly the Roman method of construction. OP must have gotten it at Flickr or something just to foment some discussion of race or something. Trolling, perhaps.

I wouldn't go so far as to accuse the op of that, but I agree it's definitly a roman road. Noone else made em like that. It's not in the US, that's for sure.

Hate to burst your bubbles, but I've walked that road in Savannah before, and yes, it does look like that.

Roman roads in England, Italy, and France... Immigrants from England, Italy, and France...
Why make roads like the ones you know? We all know that the best time for experimentation is when you've got an ocean between you and Europe.

Because it fucking doesn't look anything like OP's picture...

Why make things differently than back home? Different physical conditions, that's why.

Oh I know that annoying cobblestone road anywhere. that's defiantly Savannah. The main road isn't like that, but in b/t buildings you get this

OP Here, I most certainly did NOT get this picture from any other source than myself on river street.

>>228975
Yep, that's the one

Thank you


And as further proof, here's a picture of a road that runs parallel to River Street. Here you can see where the different types of roadwork intersect... Although I wasn't really thinking about that when I took the picture..

I'm FROM Savannah. And the ballast stones came from more than just slave ships. The tourism dept. just likes to ham it up because it sounds historically important and it gets people down to River street to buy $8 crap beer and pay $35 for a piece of driftwood with some crappy shells glued to it and a little sign that says, "Savannah! HURR!"

Also, that road does not run 'parallel', it is perpendicular. All of the exit streets that come off of River St. are really just glorified ramps they put street names on. Bay St. runs parallel to River St.

This is parallel. It is between Bay ST and River ST and exists just like it begins on the next adjacent ramp between the two streets.

>>229096
I don't know about all that, but I do know that Riverwalk isn't really all that big, it'd be a lot of work to go through for a small city block or two (tops) of tourism.

And none of the pics are from Rome. Dumbasses. They are all from Savannah. The round cobble stone pics are mostly the ramps that lead onto River St. The stones that make the street itself were rough-carved into bricks. Driving on River St., when they used to allow it, would shake the fuck out of your car.

Do you know what the fuck parallel means, dipshit? Get a fucking dictionary.
>> Anonymous
This is from the ramps perpendicular to River Street. They are access ramps for the back sides of the buildings on River Street. River Street itself has rails for trolleys, which you can see in the second pic. And you can still drive on it, BTW.

And holy fuck I didn't know there were this many channers in Savannah.

Yeah you can see some of the stone pattern repeating from the clone tool.
