Ancient Inventions by Peter James
Many inventions which seem relatively recent in fact date back thousands of years. This encyclopaedia focuses on the applied science of the Ancient World. Those ancient inventions with a modern sound include: plastic surgery performed in India in the 1st century BC; an early form of the computer used by the ancient Greeks; the postal service of Ancient Baghdad; calendars used in France as early as 13,000 BC; steam engines in Ancient Greece; and Aztec chewing gum.| SKU | Unavailable |
