For of all gainful professions, nothing is better, nothing more pleasing, nothing more delightful, nothing better becomes a well-bred [person] than agriculture.--Marcus Tullius Cicero, ancient Roman orator, ca. 44 BCE
There is the place where his fruit trees are grown tall and flourish, pear trees and pomegranate trees and the flourishing olive.--Homer, Odyssey, eighth century BCE
Around 10,000 years ago, humans began settling down and growing food in one place. This practice is called agriculture, and it made building large cities and complex societies possible. Throughout our history, humans have developed technologies to grow, process, and store food.
Agriculture led to further developments in civilizations. Ancient peoples developed math techniques to count crops, created writing systems to record food stores, and invented machines to move water and harvest their fields. Whether developing new growing techniques or improving past technologies, ancient civilizations found creative ways to feed their people.
From growing plants and raising animals side-by-side to building complex harvesting machines, discover the ancient agricultural techniques that led to the many delicious cuisines of the modern world.
Reading texts or direct messages, communicating through speech or sign language, and viewing artwork are all among the many ways people share news, ideas, and feelings with one another. Communication and its technologies are what allow us to do that.
As ancient civilizations formed, people developed spoken and written languages and communication tools. They designed and improved alphabets and writing systems to record information, created paper from plants or animal skins, and invented tools such as block printing and the printing press to help copy books and other long texts faster. Whether coming up with new technologies or innovating existing ones, ancient peoples were always finding ways to better communicate with one another.
From finger painting to postal systems, find out how early societies created and innovated the technologies that led to modern communication tools.
Ancient societies built massive monuments, many of which still stand. How did ancient engineers and builders raise up the Great Wall of China or the Great Pyramids of Egypt? They often needed new materials and building techniques, both of which required studying construction technology.
Around 10,000 years ago, humans began to settle in permanent cities. They needed new technologies to raise bigger houses and monuments. Many of the discoveries made by ancient engineers are still used today. From building materials such as concrete, bricks, and glass to construction machines such as ramps, archways, and sloped camber roadways, many of the buildings we walk in everyday use designs first invented in the ancient world.
Learn about the ancient construction methods that laid the foundation for modern monuments, plumbing, and skyscrapers.
Since the first human civilizations appeared 10,000 years ago, people have fought over land and resources. Over time, these conflicts led to the development of many technologies that would improve human life or end it.
Ancient Persians bred larger, stronger horses to ride on in war and help pull carts. In China, ancient warriors developed martial arts and engineers built one of the biggest military building projects in history, the Great Wall. Ancient Americans created improved spear throwers used by hunters and warriors. The ancient Romans and Greeks built speedy ships based off the ships of the ancient Phoenician navy.
From the first spear throwers to the dreaded Claws of Archimedes, discover the ancient technologies that changed the course of human history.
The ancient world saw many empires rise and fall. But how did massive empires such as Babylon or Rome move information and resources across continents? They relied on one of the oldest technologies in human history: transportation.
Ever since humans first began migrating within and outside of Africa, they have needed transportation technology to help move themselves and their possessions. Beginning with shoes to support feet over rough ground and boats to traverse water, humans quickly created a wide range of inventions to help them move faster and carry more over long distances.
From prehistoric hunting paths to the widespread highways of Rome, learn about the ancient transportation methods that shaped human history and paved the way for planes, trains, and superhighways.
. . . with the lighter catapults, which had a long range, he drove back those who were constructing the wall along the harbour, and with the ballistae he shook or destroyed the engines of the enemy.--Diodorus Siculus, Greek historian, first century BCE
Round their circumference are fixed paddles, which, when acted upon by the force of the current, drive the wheel round, receive the water in the buckets, and carry it to the top.--Marcus Vitruvius, On Architecture, first century BCE
Using only six simple machines, ancient civilizations around the world made complex devices to tell time, change the landscape, and move heavy loads. Many of these ancient machines have stood the test of time and remain in use today.
The Ancient Egyptians utilized wedges to break apart heavy stones for pyramids that have lasted thousands of years. The Ancient Chinese invented the wooden ox, now known as the wheelbarrow, by combining a lever and a wheel and axle. The Ancient Inca used inclined planes to move the stone blocks that built Machu Picchu. Around the world, humans have used machines to improve their lives and change the world around them.
From the potter's wheel to the deadly Claws of Archimedes, discover the secrets of ancient machines and how they have improved life throughout history.
In medical knowledge the Egyptian leaves the rest of the world behind. -Homer, Greek poet
I swear by Apollo the physician . . . and all the gods and goddesses, and call them to witness that . . . I will prescribe treatments to the best of my ability and judgement for the good of the sick, and never for a harmful or illicit purpose.--Hippocratic oath excerpt, ca. 500s BCE
Modern humans have been around for about 300,000 years, and medical technology grew alongside them. Ancient civilizations developed advanced medical techniques and devices that helped improve and extend people's lives. Early people learned which plants could help with issues such as pain and anxiety and developed ways to treat injuries such as bone fractures.
The first written records of medical technology come from Egypt, but ancient people around the world recorded medical treatments and theories. Over centuries, doctors developed different surgeries, remedies, early forms of vaccination, and even hospitals. Even though not every treatment worked, each attempt helped advance medical knowledge and practice.
From chew sticks to plastic surgery, discover ancient medical technology and find out how early medical innovation shaped modern medicine.
The discovery both of [geometry] and of the other sciences proceeded from utility.--Proclus Lycius, Greek philosopher, fifth century CE
Geometry is the knowledge of the eternally existent.--Plato, Republic, ca. 380 BCE
Ancient peoples around the world navigated the seas, built wonders of engineering, and measured time with amazing precision. How were they able to do all of this without calculators or digital computers? One technology made it all possible: computing.
The earliest evidence of counting is tally sticks from around 35000 BCE. Since then, societies worldwide developed complex mathematics to achieve difficult feats of calculation and engineering. Math fields like arithmetic, algebra, and geometry were used for surveying land, measuring the weight of gold, and even building the pyramids. Some ancient creations--such as the mysterious Antikythera device--are so complex archeologists are still fascinated by them.
From base-10 to the abacus, learn about the ancient computation methods that formed the basis for smartphones and digital computers.
