Roads are a relatively ancient invention for the modern human. The first mention of road building came was over 6000 years ago when the people of Mesopotamia built roads in the cities of Ur & Babylon. The Sumerians formed mud bricks and after drying, these would be laid in bitumen. Bitumen is the natural sticky black substance in asphalt (1). The first roads in Europe however were built of timber and stone. Centuries would pass before asphalt was used in Europe and America.
