Roman Republic and Roman Empire until the fall of the western empire.

3. Sumerian

The Sumerians were the people of southern Mesopotamia whose civilization flourished between c.
4100-1750 BCE. Their name comes from the region which is frequently – and incorrectly – referred to as
a “country”. Sumer was never a cohesive political entity, however, but a region of city-states each with its
own king. Sumer was the southern counterpart to the northern region of Akkad whose people gave
Sumer its name, meaning “land of the civilized kings”. The Sumerians themselves referred to their region
simply as “the land” or “the land of the black-headed people”.

state of social development.

5. Chinese

languages are spoken by the ethnic Chinese majority and many minority ethnic groups in China. About
1.2 billion people speak some form of Chinese as their first language.

6. Hieroglyphic

The name hieroglyphic (from the Greek word for “sacred carving”) is first encountered in the writings of
Diodorus Siculus (1st century BCE). Earlier, other Greeks had spoken of sacred signs when referring to
Egyptian writing. Among the Egyptian scripts, the Greeks labeled as hieroglyphic the script that they
found on temple walls and public monuments, in which the characters were pictures sculpted in stone.
The Greeks distinguished this script from two other forms of Egyptian writing that were written with ink
on papyrus or on other smooth surfaces. These were known as the hieratic, which was still employed
during the time of the ancient Greeks for religious texts, and the demotic, the cursive script used for
ordinary documents.

7. Medieval period
The Middle Ages, or Medieval Times, in Europe was a long period of history from 500 AD to 1500 AD.
That's 1000 years! It covers the time from the fall of the Roman Empire to the rise of the Ottoman
Empire. This was a time of castles and peasants, guilds and monasteries, cathedrals and crusade. the
period in European history from the collapse of Roman civilization in the 5th century ce to the period of
the Renaissance (variously interpreted as beginning in the 13th, 14th, or 15th century, depending on the
region of Europe and other factors).

9. Roman Numerals

Roman numerals are a method of writing numbers that date back as far as 800 B.C. A method was
required for counting quantities larger than, say, what we can count on our hands. Roman numbers take
seven letters and work them into a multitude of combinations to create small and large numbers. You'll
notice that the letters can be written as capital letters (XVI) or lower-case letters (xvi).

10. Water mill

water mills were a revolutionary invention used all over the world for the purpose of shaping metal,
agriculture, and most importantly, milling. To mill meant to grind, and that invariably meant to grind
grain. This in turn led to the production of edible staples like beaten rice, cereals, pulses, flour and so on.
Ever since its origination, the water mill has seen a number of subsequent variations. These mills are still
used in many parts of the rural world to serve similar purposes.

11. Great wall of China

The Great Wall of China is an ancient series of walls and fortifications located in northern China, built
around 500 years ago. Estimates of its length vary from 1,500 to 5,000 miles, but an archaeological
survey carried out in 2012 by China’s State Administration of Cultural Heritage suggested the wall is
more than double than that length: some 13,000 miles – or 21,000km – long

12. Microscope

A microscope is an instrument that can be used to observe small objects, even cells. The image of an
object is magnified through at least one lens in the microscope. This lens bends light toward the eye and
makes an object appear larger than it actually is.

In the late 16th century several Dutch lens makers designed devices that magnified objects, but in 1609
Galileo Galilei perfected the first device known as a microscope. Dutch spectacle makers Zaccharias
Janssen and Hans Lipperhey are noted as the first men to develop the concept of the compound
microscope.

13. Telescope

A device used to form magnified images of distant objects. The telescope is undoubtedly the most
important investigative tool in astronomy. It provides a means of collecting and analyzing radiation from
celestial objects, even those in the far reaches of the universe.

Many people believe that Galileo Galilei was the first astronomer to invent and build the telescope;
however, the first telescope was made by Hans Lippershey in the early 1600s. Lipperhey was a German-
Dutch glass maker, and he managed to reduce the amount of light in his telescope while focusing it.
