The Romans built the best roads ever.. I read that somewhere in the "History of the World" or watched a documentary on the "History Channel" if I remember correctly..

Yes, I've seen them. I meant between Nazareth and Bethlehem.

"Joseph and Mary's hardships would have begun more than a week before the birth of their son, when the couple left their home in Nazareth in northern Galilee to register for a Roman census," according to James Strange, a New Testament and biblical archaeology professor at the University of South Florida in Tampa.

"For their 90-mile trip, they probably would have traveled the usual route to the city of Joseph's ancestors: south along the flatlands of the Jordan River, then west over the hills surrounding Jerusalem, and on into Bethlehem.

''It was a fairly grueling trip,'' said Strange, who annually leads an excavation team at the ancient city of Sepphoris, near Nazareth. ''In antiquity, the most we find people traveling is 20 miles a day. And this trip was very much uphill and downhill. It was not simple.''¹

Yeah, but where does that leave Hyundai then, considering they own a large part of Kia. Are they they good guys or the bad guys?!

"Good" and "Bad/Evil" are relative terms. Besides, I was just pointing out that comparing building an Ark to building roads was a poor analogy. Like VV vs VW.
