Is this like a ship of Theseus situation, or is it the oldest unchanged road?
I believe it’s unchanged. The catch is that it hasn’t been in continuous use - only about ~500 of its years, the first years, was it in use (and probably well maintained). After a massive collapse of civilization in Crete, much of the infrastructure was abandoned, ruined, forgotten about, buried, etc.
It was buried for maybe 3000 years, and excavated only a century ago.
And the freshly paved road by my house seems to develop a pothole every February…
