Discovering Ancient Technology (Paperback)

When people think of technology, they often think of robots, smartphones, electric cars, and other fairly modern inventions. However, the ancient world was filled with its own kind of technological wonders, too, some of which we still use today. From irrigation systems and farming techniques to calendars and pyramids, readers are introduced to a wide variety of scientific and engineering achievements made by ancient peoples such as the Egyptians, Aztecs, Chinese, and Greeks. Colorful photographs and illustrations with clear labels work together to help readers visualize the exciting world of ancient technology.
