Rules for Posting Guides on Our Community

1. Defining a Guide Guides are comprehensive reference materials, how-tos, or comparison tables. A guide must be well-organized both in content and layout. Information should be easily accessible without unnecessary navigation. Guides can include flowcharts, step-by-step instructions, or visual references that compare different elements side by side.

2. Infographic Guidelines Infographics are permitted if they are educational and informative. They should aim to convey complex information visually and clearly. However, infographics that primarily serve as visual essays without structured guidance will be subject to removal.

3. Grey Area Moderators may use discretion when deciding to remove posts. If in doubt, message us or use downvotes for content you find inappropriate.

4. Source Attribution If you know the original source of a guide, share it in the comments to credit the creators.

5. Diverse Content To keep our community engaging, avoid saturating the feed with similar topics. Excessive posts on a single topic may be moderated to maintain diversity.

6. Verify in Comments Always check the comments for additional insights or corrections. Moderators rely on community expertise for accuracy.

Yes, the squids of antiquity traveled by way of chalk!

It very gentle to walk on with their tentacles.

Modern road isn't just asphalt and rock, there are layers of different rock and dirt packed down to provide a solid structure for it to sit on. Asphalt doesn't have bend strength, it's really just holding everything together.

Where is the layer of nougat?

I went and saw the remains of George Washingtons house and it was buried like 10-15 feet underground. All the signs were talking about wars and stuff but not where the tons and tons of dirt came from.

The medieval road looks like concrete, but I would have expected it to be just a mud track.

Concrete itself is roman era, tons of it in Roman ruins if you know where to look.

I think a mud track with occasional bits of gravel is basically what the display is suggesting, it's just that the mud is dry.
