Votes:0 Ancient Galleys Until about 800 B.C. a variety of ships were used in the Aegean
sea. However, they had not yet developed the basic forms of the
classical age. Most ships were more or less symmetrical in design
(similar to Viking ships, though much more primitive and less
seaworthy), and the standard fighting technique was to board the enemy
vessel. Then, around 800 B.C., the ram was developed as a ship-to-ship
weapon. Suddenly, speed and maneuverability became prime concerns. The result of this development was the penteconter ("50-oared"), a fast galley propelled by 50 oars-men, 25 to a side,
working in a single row. This was a pure warship, not a
merchant-man. The length of a big penteconter was probably somewhere
around 38 meters, which is quite near to the maximum one can achieve

Votes:0 Ancient Calendars Early Clocks A Revolution in Timekeeping The "Atomic" Age World Time Scales and Time Zones NIST Time Services Bibliography Ancient Calendars C elestial bodies — the Sun, Moon, planets, and stars — have provided us a reference for measuring the passage of time throughout our existence. Ancient civilizations relied upon the apparent motion of these bodies through the sky to determine seasons, months, and years. We know little about the details of timekeeping in prehistoric eras, but wherever we turn up records and artifacts, we usually discover that in every culture, some people were preoccupied with measuring and recording the passage of time. Ice-age hunters in Europe over 20,000 years ago scratched lines and gouged holes in sticks and bones, possibly counting t Read More Go to Site

Votes:0 Welcome to my pages of Ancient World Battles! I'm building this site to further knowledge of battles (and events around them) of the ancient western world before 650 AD. Specifically, they are Greek and Roman battles. I have seperate sections for the Greek civilization and for the Roman Empire. The Grecian section starts with the battle of Marathon, fought on September 10, 490 BC. The Roman section starts with the battle of the Allia River, fought on July 18, 386 BC. So far I have 30 major battles listed. The first 5 Greek battles are completed with extensive background info. The Roman section I have just started but I'll list the battles. I'd like a place that explains the battles of antiquity in better detail. Since I could not find one when I needed it, I promised to make it myself one Read More Go to Site

Votes:0 Check out these videos: an over-the-shoulder
view (about 211k) and a profile view (about 700k)of a dart being thrown with an atlatl. The Bow and Arrow is not the novel invention people today believe
it to be, but rather a progression of existing technology. The
existing technology, for thousands of years, was that of the Atlatl
and Dart. Like the Bow, the Atlatl accelerates a flexible shaft from the rear. For the Bow the flexible shaft is called an Arrow. For the
Atlatl the flexible shaft is called a Dart. Research by BPS
Engineering has proven that the only difference between these two
weapons - and a minor one at that - is the type of acceleration
imparted to the rear of the flexible shaft. The Bow is a linear
accelerator, accelerating the Arrow from the rear in a straight
line. The Atla Read More Go to Site
Votes:0 Exactly when beer was first brewed cannot be determined. Two slate tablets are displayed in the British Museum in London, which were, in the year 1926, scientifically estimated to be about 9000 years old. The scientist, a Mr. E. Huber, was of the opinion that the inscriptions on these tablets showed the coarse milling of emmer (A prehistoric grain type, similar to spelt, used for the brewing of beer). He concluded that this was possibly the oldest evidence of the brewing of beer. More recent research has indicated that the tablets are probably not so old as Mr. Huber thought and that even the connection with the brewing process may be doubtful. The oldest proven records of brewing are about 6000 years old and refer to the Sumarians Sumaria lay between the Tigris and Euphrates rivers, encom Read More Go to Site

Votes:0 Over One Hundred Million Pages Served Thank You for Visiting EAWC Why Study Ancient World Cultures? An Essay by Bill Hemminger The question that initiates this program is a broad one: Why study
ancient cultures? You might feel that the question is moot: students do study and will study ancient cultures; such study is an
expected part of a tradition of intellectual development. The response to
the why of the initial question is a matter of tradition, if not
fact. A study of the ROMAN
EMPIRE , a reading of Greek philosophy and literature, a look at
the PYRAMIDS OF
EGYPT -- these are all accepted parts of a Western education,
aren't they? Probably so: even today, in the plurality of approaches to the study
of history and to the study of cultures, people talk about PLATO or DANTE or Krishna

Votes:0 EPHESUS A ccording to tradition, Efes (Ephesus) , one of the most important cities of antiquity, was founded by Androclos, although it has been established that the Lelegians and Carians inhabited the place earlier. The city must have been colonized no later than the 10th century B.C., by the lonians . Then Persian invasion in the 6th century B.C. took place. As you can see Ephesus History goes way back. This was followed by Ionian uprising against the Persians during the 5th century B.C. The ruins remaining are of the city established by Lyssimachos, one of the generals of Alexander the Great in the 3rd century B.C. The best remains of the city ramparts today are from this era. During its Golden Age (2nd century B.C.), the city had a population of around 300,000; it monopolized the wealth Read More Go to Site

This means that if the sunspot cycle maximum coincides with Jupiter's perihelion, the maximum is either delayed, making that cycle long, or it is very low, as in 1810's.
