These advances during the ancient period allowed civilizations to flourish by finding better ways of communication, transportation, self-organization, and living in general. Intended Learning Outcomes At the end of the discussion, you are expected to 1. identify some inventions during ancient times; 2. discuss the significance of the inventions today; 3. demonstrate cooperation during the presentation; and 4. design a PowerPoint presentation suitable to your topics. Discussion GUhttps:/hwww. 152541982) ideshare.net/imemijecruz/historic: |-antecedents-of-science-and-technology- Some Inventions During Ancient Times 1. Ancient Wheel- People from ancient civilizations used animals for transportation long before the invention of the wheel. No one knows who exactly invented the wheel and when. There is, however, a general agreement that the ancient wheel grew out of a mechanical device called the potter's wheel- a heavy flat disk made up of hardened clay that was spun horizontally on an axis The invention of the wheel is often credited to the Sumerians since no other ancient civilization used a similar device at the time. Today, cars, carts, bicycles, and trucks are just some of the many offshoots of the wheels invented by the Sumerians. itpstpinstructure.com/courses/96118ipages/-dot-2-1-anciont@module_ttem_=3613950 4snit7i22, 10:2 AM 412.1 Ancient: GEC O07-ARCHE182 - Science, Technology and Society 2. Paper- Roughly around 3000 B.C., the ancient Egyptians began writing on papyrus, a material similar to thick paper. Papyrus is made from the pith of the papyrus plant cyperus papyrus. It is lightweight, strong, durable, and portable. Before the Egyptians invented the papyrus, writing was done on stone. With the advent of the papyrus, documentation, and record-keeping become efficient, widespread, and vast. Through its use, information dissemination became exponentially faster. records were kept and stood the test of time. bitlpby byontorn’s 4 As. fhadunde' log , Ua aif 2 Fees of-/ 1% re sa 3. Shadoof- The shadoof was an early tool invented and used by Egyptians to irrigate the land. It is a hand-operated device used for lifting water. Its invention introduced the idea of lifting things using counterweights. Because of this invention, irrigation and farming became much more efficient, The shadoof is also believed to be an ancient precursor of more sophisticated irrigation tools.

Antikythera Mechanism- Even before the invention of the antecedents of the modern computer, the Greeks had already invented the ancient world's analog computer orrery. Discovered in 1902 and retrieved from the waters of Antikythera, Greece. Antikythera mechanism is similar to a mantel clock and it is known as the antecedent of modem clockwork. 5. Aeolipile- Also known as the Hero's engine, the aeolipile is widely believed to be the ancient precursor of the steam engine. It is a steam-powered turbine that spun when the water container at its center was heated, thus making it practically the first rudimentary steam engine. itpstpinstructure.com/courses/96118ipages/-dot-2-1-anciont@module_ttem_=3613950 5snit7i22, 10:2 AM 412.1 Ancient : GEC O07-ARCH182 - Science, Technology and Society Summary In summary, we have mentioned that ancient people were concerned with transportation, navigation, communication, record-keeping, mass production, security, and protection, as well as health, and architecture. They continuously invented new things because of their desire to raise the quality of life and because of their inventions, people of today are enjoying the offshoots of their discoveries and inventions such as the wheel, paper, shadoof, Antikythera, and an aeolipile Sources Nieva, A. and Quinto E.
