Which country invented bridges?
The ancient civilisations of Assyria and Egypt could have been the first to introduce bridge building. Stone arches can be found over the entrance of the great pyramid of Ghizeh, Egypt (3200 to 4200 BC) but they were not true arches as they were made of single sloping stones meeting over an opening.The earliest bridges were likely made with fallen trees and stepping stones. The Neolithic people built boardwalk bridges across marshland. The Arkadiko Bridge, dating from the 13th century BC, in the Peloponnese is one of the oldest arch bridges still in existence and use.Arkadiko Bridge

Who invented suspension bridges : John A. Roebling

German immigrant John A. Roebling invented wire rope in 1840, which allowed construction of suspension bridges, such as The George Washington Bridge.

Did the Chinese invent bridges

According to Robert Temple's highly-regarded history of Chinese inventions, The Genius of China, the Han Dynasty saw the development of the suspension bridge, a flat roadway suspended from cables, which probably evolved from simple rope bridges developed to span small gorges.

Did the Greeks invent bridges : However, bridges were actually Greek inventions; they were the first to develop the art of bridge-building and constructed the first arched stone bridges. So strong were these structures that several are still in existence (and use!)

The first traceable evidence of bridge-building can be traced back to Babylon in 4000 BC, with a large reservoir that controlled overflow from the Euphrates river. But, although there is no traceable evidence, Assyria and Egypt very well could have been the first societies to build bridges.

the Kazarma Bridge

The oldest known bridge is the Kazarma Bridge or Arkadiko Bridge, located in Argolida, in the Peloponnese, Greece, whose construction dates back to the Mycenaean period, around 1300 BC.

It is a stone bridge with five arches, built (as was the custom) of stone blocks fitted together without mortar.

What did the Greeks first invent : And they used some of their new knowledge to make inventions like the water wheel, the alarm clock, the catapult and even, the vending machine! Finally, our language has roots in ancient Greece, from the individual letters through to complete words like dinosaur and helicopter!
