WATER MILL
Commonly used in agricultural processes like
milling/grinding grains, a necessary form of food processing.
Thru this, mass production was made possible for the rice,
cereals, flours, and etc.
It requires access to rivers or with flowing water enough to
turn the water mill.
ROMAN CIVILIZATION

NEWSPAPER
The first newspaper contained the announcements
of the Roman Empire to the people. These gazettes were
engraved in metal or stone tablets and the publicly

BOUND BOOKS OR CODEX

The codex was the historical ancestor of the
modern book. Instead of being composed of sheets of paper, it
used sheets of vellum, papyrus, or other materials. The
term codex is often used for ancient manuscript books, with
handwritten contents.
ROMAN CIVILIZATION
ROMAN NUMERALS
The history of Roman numerals began back in the 8th to 9th
century BC, approximately the same time as the founding of
ancient Rome around Palantine Hill. The number system prevailed
longer than the empire itself, remaining in common use until the
14th century when they were superseded by the Arabic system,
which was introduced to Europe in the 11th century .
ROMAN CIVILIZATION
ROMAN ARCHITECTURE
The Roman Architecture began to achieve significant
originality in architecture during the Imperial Period.
It used new materials particularly Roman Concrete
and innovations in designs such as arch and dome to make
buildings typically strong and well engineered.
CHINESE CIVILIZATION

SILK
Chinese developed the technology to harvest silk and
process it to produce paper and clothing. This connected
China to the World in the way of trading.

TEA PRODUCTION
Chinese developed the technology to harvest silk and
process it to produce paper and clothing. This connected
China to the World in the way of trading.
CHINESE CIVILIZATION

GREAT WALL OF CHINA

It is known to be the largest and most extensive
infrastructure that the nation built.
It was constructed to keep out foreign invaders and control
the borders of China. Made with stone, brick, wood, earth and
other materials, it showcased the extent of Chinese engineering
technology at that time.
CHINESE CIVILIZATION
GUNPOWDER
The gunpowder is one of the most interesting
invention of Chinese Civilization. The Alchemists in China
aimed to achieve immortality by producing the elixir of life.
However, they accidentally invented black powder that
generated large amount of heat and gas in an instant.
Ironically, instead of prolonging life, gunpowder is
widely used to propel bullets from guns and cannon which
cause countless deaths

PRINTING PRESS

Johann Guttenberg invented the printing press by utilizing

wooden machines extracted juices from fruits, attached to them
a metal impression of the letters and pressed the cast metal into
a piece of paper.
This general invention soon evolved to be the mechanical
printing press which was eventually used all over the world.
 MICROSCOPE
With this device, people were able to observe
organisms that cannot be seen by the naked eye. This
discovery lead to the new means of preventing and
curing illnesses.
 TELESCOPE
Since the Middle Ages, also known as the Age of
Exploration, the need for nautical inventions was high.

Considering the vast and empty oceans that

separated lands, shop captains needed to see far and
wide for them to navigate or to avoid dangers at sea.

PASTEURIZATION

It is the process of heating dairy products to kill

harmful bacteria. Through this process, milk could be
stored and consumed for a longer period. It also
prevented illnesses caused by harmful bacteria.
 PETROLEUM REFINERY
Samuel M. Keir- inventor of kerosene by
refining petroleum
Kerosene- referred as “illuminating oil” because
it was used to provide lighting at homes.
 TELEPHONE
Alexander Graham Bell- developed the
telephone and considered as the most important
inventions
CALCULATOR

The creation of modern calculators did not only pave

the way for easier arithmetic calculations, but also resulted
in the development of more complex processing machines
like the computer
