3. There were like 4 ropes in total, two that will do the job of banisters that people can grab onto. The last two ropes make the main walkway which wooden planks are attached to. This bridge is very primative and was first used in 4000 to 2000 B.C.. 2.-Appeareance of early bridges The structure is simple, which makes it quick to build but not capable of supporting heavy loads, just people.

6. At first, men thought that making a ‘joint’ between two places was impossible, because when they saw the big cliffs and deep lakes they wanted to join, they thought it was impossible. They were so confused that they even tried to fill a cliff, so that people could pass through it, but obviously, this was impossible. A mistake is what made them discover the bridges. In their try to fill the cliff, a big rock fell from one side of the cliff to the other, the rock was holding from both sides, there’s where they thought about doing, instead of filling the cliff, putting something that crossed it. When they made the rope style bridge, they had lots of problems, the bridge was unstable, so they researched and found out that putting a support in the middle of the bridge was better, so that it is stable. They did that, changed the materials, the idea spread out all over the world, and in different countries they had different designs.
