ANCIENT INDIA

Another most important invention of the age was the wheel. The wheel was the crowing achievement of prehistoric carpentry, it is the precondition of modern machines, and applied to transport, it converts the sled in a basket of cars from the direct ancestor of the locomotive change in the field of Transport and Communications. Its use horizontal qualitatively transformed the pot in the industry. By adopting the potters wheel increased the efficiency of their performance and productivity. The use of wheels gave their symmetrical nature, the products for which it did not have before. With the invention of the wheel, man's progress rapidly and diversified.

The biggest contribution of the Copper-Bronze Age to the rise of science is the development of the idea of the quantity. The temple activities, which has become more extensive and complex than the simple worship. This forced the priests to save rather than to remember the quantities of goods received from various organizations and individuals. Apart from the temple activities, administrative affairs have become more comples and far-reaching that necessitated the use of the measure and its standardization. The issue of weight has been solved by the invention of the balance.

But the weight is only part of the problem of the measure. A more sophisticated system is needed to cope with the whole problem of the measure. For example, a beginning was made in the development of System Number Gradually symbols have been extended to cover objects and actions. Finally, they stood for words. In this way, the foundations were laid for writing.

Another important aspect of science whose foundations were further strengthened was astronomy. Astronomical knowledge is necessary not only for reasons of timing, as in the case of Paleolithic and Neolithic Age. Not only do the phases of the moon, but also the erratic movements of the stars and planets were recorded. Since these comments were related to religion, speculation on the cosmos followed on the religious and theological lines. Thus theorectical astronomy and cosmology insider

 



The development of medicine is another achievement of copper, the Bronze Age. The symptoms of the disease were observed and studied carefully and remedies were provided. The symptoms of the disease were observed and studied carefully and remedies were provided. The study of the anatomical and physiological system made during that age is really remarkable. As for medical purposes, doctors have had to make a study of different herbs and thus the foundations of botany were further strengthened.

The most notable is in the field of chemistry. This should be abvious because this age is characterized by the use of metals. The merger process minerals, metals and purify their coloring all need a complex chemical knowledge. The metallurgy of the time reveals the knowledge of at least nine elements, gold, silver, copper, tin lead, mercury, iron, sulfur and corbon. It also found the use of compounds of zinc, antimony and arsenic and alkalis such as potash and ammonia (in the form of termented unne) and alcohol. The manufacture of alloys involves knowledge of the chemical analysis vary from a high level. The use of the chemical analysis is one of the most crucial in the history of chemistry. Again, the realization of Egypt appears to be the most important with regard to the development of scientific theory and practice of the chemical analysis. The success of the chemistry gave the man in this age such a feeling of pride and just trust that he began to think that something could be made possible, in good health, who have expressed their optimism needed for progress.
