Kênh Đào Suez - Công Trình Vỹ Đại Nhất Thế Kỷ 19

#nnkt #ngoinokienthuc #SuezCanal The Suez Canal - The Greatest Engineering Project of the 19th Century This is the southernmost point of Africa, known today as the Cape of Good Hope, and the sea route through it was discovered by Bartolomeo Dias during his eastward voyage in 1488. A strait about 6000 km to the west is called the Magellanic Strait – named after its discoverer in 1520. These two locations may seem unrelated at first glance, even thousands of kilometers apart. However, they share one thing in common: they were vital sea routes for travel between Europe and Asia during the modern era. If you go around the Cape of Good Hope, the shortest route from Europe to East Asia would be around 25,000 km. Going through the Strait of Magellan would be even longer, by as much as 5,000 km. Therefore, research has begun to find a shorter, more time-saving, and risk-reducing route.
