In simple terms, cable stayed use less cables then a suspension bridge. They are a combination of both beam and suspension. Suspension bridges hold the "deck" (where vehicles cross), via the cables, hence the term "suspension"; whereas, a cable stayed has the deck connected via the cables to anchorage points.
They were great engineers. They were the ones who made the construction of the first suspension bridges.
They built complex road systems with suspension bridges and kept accurate and detailed records
