60 mile road?

Rome could build that in a day.

(Well, maybe 30 days, depends on the width and how many bridges...)

Actually, a unique aspect of Roman road building wasn’t just the engineering, it was the deep legal code that guided it, its uses, its repair and its interchange w/ private property.

I’m guessing the Mayan kings just pointed and the road was built that direction.

True -- as long as it wasn't inside city limits, because, y'know, Rome wasn't built in a day.
