Man's earliest inventions are here described, explained, visualized, and related to social developments. The authoritative and lively narrative is by a scholar widely recognized as the outstanding specialist on prehistoric and ancient technology, Henry Hodges, Senior Lecturer in Archaeology at the University of London. To illustrate his text, he specially commissioned a remarkable series of drawings that reconstruct from ancient writings and from archaeological evidence objects never before seen by modern man. These drawings show in many cases, how these objects were made and how they worked. The inventions of agriculture, of navigation, and overland transportation, the inventions of city construction, of water works, of war, of domestic life and luxury are all examined in fascinating detail. From the sickle and the plow, the lamp, the loom and the clock, to the massive and the delicate implements of monument building and the ancient techniques of metallurgy and glass making, here are the works of the great anonymous and semi~legendary inventors, engineers, and experimenters~Mesopotamian, Egyptian, Greek, and Roman. The story of their innovations is rounded out with accounts of ancient China, India, and pre~Colombian America, as well as a glimpse of the mechanical curiosities of the museum at Alexandria, and of such oddities as the Roman "vacuum" flask and a Chinese seismograph. Beyond its intrinsic fascination for everyone who is interested in the way things work, this is a book whose revelation of early technological ingenuity will disturb many preconceptions about ancient societies. This is above all, a book that illuminates all other archaeological writings by its clear and concrete presentation of Technology in the Ancient World. …
