          “Ancient Technology” is just that, an overview of the earliest inventions and innovations to improve mankind.. The author has delved into the classical age, an offers us a look at some of the earliest technological innovations from prehistory and those emanating out of early cultures in China, Ancient Egypt, Greece and Rome.

 

          The presentation is in itself a veritable potpourri of inventions from an archaeological discovery of a prehistoric flute, early agricultural implements. Rope manufacture in Ancient Egypt, The pyramids, early batteries, water clocks, archaic pumps, military siege equipment and the work of  Erastothenes and Vitruvius .

 

          Here is an opportunity for the history buff and those technologically inclined to view the earliest inventions, some which appear outstanding when one considers the era in which they evolved.
