King Hammurabi was the first king of the Babylonian civilization of Mesopotamia. He reigned for forty-three years during the time of 1792-1750 BC. He was active in building, restoring temples, city walls, and public buildings along with building canals for irrigation and fighting wars. Throughout his reign his main concern was to assure Babylonia’s control over the Euphrates. Although he controlled all of Mesopotamia during the time he was known greatly for his code of law.
Mesopotamians wrote down what event happened in cuneiform and wrote the date so they know when it happened. Some extraordinary inventions were the ones the Mesopotamian invented. According to Document 1and 2, both a secondary source, the first document states that Mesopotamia “contributed immensely to industrial technology” by inventing useful objects like the wheel. The second document talks about the ziggurat, a temple built to the gods that looked like huge squares of different size placed on top of each other starting from the largest to the smallest.
A man from Germany named Johannes Gutenberg invented the printing press, which made it possible for people to have copies of books and letters in much lesser time than they were used to. Also, their way of communicating (like writing letters to each other or expressing knowledge through books) improved because of it. The invention of the printing press was one of most notable inventions from the last millennium because it brought important changes and accomplishments. The first support of how the printing press improved in communication is how Martin Luther took advantage of the printing press to spread around his ideas of the Church and indulgences. He was the creator of the 95 Theses in 1517.
ttusa Research Assignment – Hattusha The historical site of Hattusha (Turkish: Hattuşa), near modern day Boğazkale (which is a member of the Norwich-based European Association of Historic Towns and Regions), Turkey, is located 82 km to the southwest of Çorum and 208 km east from Ankara. During the 2nd Millennium BCE, the city of Hattusha was the capital of the Hittite empire which at its height of power spread across much of the Anatolian peninsular and some of the Levant coastal region. Hattusha is located between two deeply-cut streams which converged on the plain (at an elevation of about 945 metres). This forms the north-most point of the city. The city then rises about 304 metres high stretching south for 2 kilometres.
Why was Isambard Brunel important in the Industrial Revolution? Brunel (1806-1859)is famous for his technological achievements in the field of engineering. However, as well as having very broad interests, his most outstanding feature was his all round ability within each of the endeavours he undertook. If we consider his Great Western Railway, he designed the track layout, the track itself, the rolling stock, the tunnels, the bridges, and the ship to take passengers to the United States from Bristol at the end of the line (the Great Western). He even designed the lamp-posts for the stations, was a director of the station hotel at Paddington, and when the going got tough, was not above getting down to doing some actual digging on the line himself.
Roman and Han dynasties had different attitudes of technology even if they were both self glorifying. The Han focused more on the technology for the good of its people meanwhile Romans focused more on scientific and mathematic advancements, looking down upon the laboring tools-related inventions that were appreciated by the Hans. Overall they had different perspectives. The Han people had a respectful appreciation for technology and it's "benefits" (Doc 3) and "efficiency" (Doc 3). The Hans had discovered the benefits of technology from as early as “early second century B.C.E” (Doc 1), understanding that it could help later develop their own nation.
But, this does very little in protecting you against some other guys writing a spreadsheet which is more user friendly, calculates faster, and provides more functions, even though you were the inventor of the spreadsheet. There are only so many general purpose software programs. The rest of computer software is specialized, developed for a particular purpose, to solve a specific problem. These specific software solutions may rely on the general purpose solutions, but refine them. By refining them they become specific applications targeting a specific set of users with a specific set of problems.
David Dwight Eisenhower, otherwise known as Dwight Eisenhower or Ike, was born in October 14, 1890, in Denison, Texas. He his parents were David Jacob Eisenhower and Ida Elizabeth Stover, of German, English and Swiss ancestry. David Jacob Eisenhower was an american engineer born on September 23, 1863, in Elizabethtown, Pennsylvania. His mother Ida Elizabeth Stover was a lifelong pacificist born on May 1, 1862, in Mt. Sideny, VA. Eisenhower’s ancestors can be traced back to Hans Nicolas Eisenhauer, whose surname is German for “iron worker.” In 1741 Hans and his family emigrated from Karlsbrunn, Germany to Lancaster, Pennsylvania.
The differences between the 1800s and now is remarkable where in today’s society almost every machine is all programmed to do it itself. In one way it is a great advancement but
The formative role of this voyage d'Orient for Le Corbusier is evident in his theoretical work and practice thereafter.2References to Islamic architecture and urban forms appear in his writings as early as 1915 and span his numerous publications, among them L'Art de'coratif d'aujourd'hui (1925),La Ville radieuse (1933), Quand les cathddrales dtaient blanches (1937),and Le Modulor (1949). )A number of his early villas, such as the Villa Jeanneret-Perret (1912), Villa Favre-Jacot (1912),and Villa Schwob (1916), are inspired by the Ottoman houses in terms of their interior organization around a central hall, their simple spaces, massing, and blank street fagades. The Mediterranean vernacular with an Islamic touch surfaces sporadically in his built work - for example, in the Weekend House (1935),the Roq and Rob project (1949), and the Maison Jaoul (1956) - recording its most memorable moment with the Notre Dame de Ronchamp (195055), inspired by the sculptural mass of the Sidi Ibrahim Mosque near El Ateuf in the Algerian countryside. 1.
