    Better even. They made the movable pool quite long. So while the horses dragged the pool the ships could still sail in it. That way the horses didn’t need to drag the pool the whole way!

      I dont think so. Not in this case at least. They gave up digging in the hard rock and instead made a limestone road to drive them on dry surface.

      This is the Corinth canal but before it was made the paved road for transporting ships was called Diolkos

        You are a good person for being this patient and sharing your knowledge.
