Historic roads
Historic roads are existing or once existent travel routes of historic significance. They typically cover great distances.
Eurasia
The Silk Road was a network of trade routes between China and the Mediterranean. It spanned the modern countries of Syria, Iran, Pakistan and India.
Europe
Except for Roman roads, European pathways were rarely in good shape and depended on the topology and geography of the region. In the early Middle Ages, people often preferred to travel along elevated drainage divides to lower down. This was due to thick forests and other natural obstacles in valleys.
Frankish Empire
Antsanvia (from the Latin antiana via, old road) was a trade road that ran from Mainz to Thuringia. Due to wide visibility from the Rhön mountains, places along the road became sites for hilltop castles in the Middle Ages. An example is Hauneck Castle (Burg Hauneck) on the Stoppelsberg, the ruins of which are still visible. It served to oversee and protect traffic on Antsanvia and protect the villages in the Haune Valley.

Forgotten Roads & Monuments in the Cajon Pass
The Cajon Pass is one of the most traveled corridors in the United States, with almost all the traffic between Southern California and Las Vegas traveling through it. Camp Cajon was built in 1919 on National Old Trails highway, the country’s first “ocean-to-ocean” highway. In 1926 that road became Route 66. Due to its location on the Cajon Pass, Camp Cajon quickly became known as the Gateway to Southern California. Camp Cajon disappeared in 1938, but a monument to this important early Route 66 stop sits in the Cajon Pass today next to a monument to early pioneers that is over a century old. Along with several monument, traces of the old roads that date back to the 1800s can still be found in the Cajon Pass, just a few hundred feet from the modern freeway. Interstate 15 and Highway 138 tra...

California's Historic Roads - Highway S-2
A highway through a remote desert valley was once home to the first form of transcontinental transportation, the Stagecoach. Highway S-2 follows the old Southern Immigrant Trail by which most of the miners came to California during the Goldrush of 1849. The route was later called, erroneously, "The Great Overland Stage Route of 1849." A Nick Adolfo Production. This video was submitted as Project 3 for the Cinema 2 class at Los Angeles City College (LACC).

Interstate 15 and Highway 138 travel through the Cajon Pass today, but before those roads there was Route 66, National Old Trails Highway, and the Cajon Pass Toll Road, a winding narrow road through Crowder Canyon.
In this video we visit the monuments to Camp Cajon, the 1917 Pioneers Monument, The 1800s Cajon Pass Toll Road, and track down the 1912 Pioneers Monument.

A highway through a remote desert valley was once home to the first form of transcontinental transportation, the Stagecoach. Highway S-2 follows the old Southern Immigrant Trail by which most of the miners came to California during the Goldrush of 1849. The route was later called, erroneously, "The Great Overland Stage Route of 1849." A Nick Adolfo Production. This video was submitted as Project 3 for the Cinema 2 class at Los Angeles City College (LACC).

The Cajon Pass is one of the most traveled corridors in the United States, with almost all the traffic between Southern California and Las Vegas traveling through it. Camp Cajon was built in 1919 on National Old Trails highway, the country’s first “ocean-to-ocean” highway. In 1926 that road became Route 66. Due to its location on the Cajon Pass, Camp Cajon quickly became known as the Gateway to Southern California. Camp Cajon disappeared in 1938, but a monument to this important early Route 66 stop sits in the Cajon Pass today next to a monument to early pioneers that is over a century old.
Along with several monument, traces of the old roads that date back to the 1800s can still be found in the Cajon Pass, just a few hundred feet from the modern freeway. Interstate 15 and Highway 138 travel through the Cajon Pass today, but before those roads there was Route 66, National Old Trails Highway, and the Cajon Pass Toll Road, a winding narrow road through Crowder Canyon.
In this video we visit the monuments to Camp Cajon, the 1917 Pioneers Monument, The 1800s Cajon Pass Toll Road, and track down the 1912 Pioneers Monument.

Historic roads
Historic roads are existing or once existent travel routes of historic significance. They typically cover great distances.
Eurasia
The Silk Road was a network of trade routes between China and the Mediterranean. It spanned the modern countries of Syria, Iran, Pakistan and India.
Europe
Except for Roman roads, European pathways were rarely in good shape and depended on the topology and geography of the region. In the early Middle Ages, people often preferred to travel along elevated drainage divides to lower down. This was due to thick forests and other natural obstacles in valleys.
Frankish Empire
Antsanvia (from the Latin antiana via, old road) was a trade road that ran from Mainz to Thuringia. Due to wide visibility from the Rhön mountains, places along the road became sites for hilltop castles in the Middle Ages. An example is Hauneck Castle (Burg Hauneck) on the Stoppelsberg, the ruins of which are still visible. It served to oversee and protect traffic on Antsanvia and protect the villages in the Haune Valley.

Thermopylae
by: Ancient RitesSons of Laconia, under Lycurgian law
300 noblemen, ancient world in awe
Facing Xerxes might, no hope for victory
Still Persian blood coloured the Aegian Sea
Go, tell the Spartans, stranger passing by,
That here, obedient to their laws, we lie.
Lacedaemon's mothers gave birth to men,
Withstanding thousends again and again
None will behold the Eurotas Valley no more
This sacrifice needed to silence Persia's roar
No matter how fierce the spirit or mind
Blades striking, the kings' heart declined
Round he spun, and down he fell
No scream, no word, no cowardice yell
Symbolic sacrifice, all for the Hellenic land
Spartan codes of honour and inspiring guiding hand
No Spartiate soul left alive to tell
How bravely they fought, by treason they fell
Not a stone on their turf, nor a bone in their graves
They live on in history that immortally saves
Go, tell the Spartans, stranger passing by,
Latest News for: ancient roads
Edit
Egypt stands as a testament to time
Every corner tells a story, from the vintage cars of the ‘90s, now well past their prime, to the quiet streets where brave vendors hawk trinkets right in the middle of the road ... scams of ancient times.
