    The Empire

    The pyramids of Egypt where such a architectural wonder that even till this day they are still being study for their concepts, the oldest pyramid was thought to have been built in 2630 BC at saqqara. the pyramids are the final resting places of the three kings that ruled in Egypt. the designing of the great pyramids was so accurate that in some parts of the pyramid the gap tolerances are so tight that you can't even fit a playing card in between the slabs.

    Geocentrism

    Geocentrism
    This theory states that earth is the center of the universe and that everything revolves around the earth. this theory was derived from greek philosopher Eudoxus. His thinking was that if god created the heavens and the earth and humans then the earth has to be the most important part of the universe.

    Roman Aqueducts

    Roman Aqueducts
    The Aqueducts were used to transport water and sewage in and out of the Roman city. They used natural slopes and gravity to move water from freshwater ponds. these ducts at the time were marvels of carful planning and engineering. Appleton, S. (2022, September 29). Roman aqueducts.

    The number Zero

    The number Zero
    until 650 AD the number Zero was only used as a "fill in the blank", it was never used as a number or never had a value, until 650 AD in India. The Indians were the first to not only but a value to the number zero, but also show how to use it and that it could be used in math as well.

    The Viturvivian Man
    In the painting, Da Vinci gives his best work to try and connect the human antatonmy with nature, as they are one of each other.
  • Earths Magnetic Field

    Earths Magnetic Field
    William Gilbert discovered that our planet has two magnetic poles. He defined these poles correctly and established that the earth behaves like a giant magnet.
    He correctly figured that magnetism is caused by an organized form of the material the magnet is made of.
  • The Three Laws

    The Three Laws
    in 1609, Johnnes kepler, a German astronomer published three laws that forever calculated and predicted the moment of celestial bodies. 1) that planets move in a elliptical or oval pattern. 2) that a planet in its orbit sweeps out equal areas in equal times. 3) T2 is proportional to a3. being that T is the orbital period of the planet, and the a is the semi major of half of the major which is the long axis of the planets elliptical orbit
  • Bending Light

    Bending Light
    Snell found a characteristic ratio between the angle of incidence and the angle of refraction. Snell's law demonstrates that every substance has a specific bending ratio "refractive index". The greater the angle of refraction, the higher the refractive index for a substance .
  • Geometrie

    Geometrie
    Geometrie published in 1637, in it, Descartes introduces analytic geometry, in which the book links geometry and algebra.
  • The Life Blood of the Body

    The Life Blood of the Body
    the Dutch naturalist, Jan Swammerdam was the first person to observe red blood cells under the microscope.
  • Color Spectrum

    Color Spectrum
    Sir Issac Newton conducted an experiment with a clear prism and light where he would observe that light rays carried color but had to be separated by being passed through a medium which was the prism to which he also created the color wheel with the help of artist and painter of his time.
  • Light speed

    Light speed
    Danish astronomer succsefully observes the speed of light through the study of Jupiter satellite Lo, he observed that the time for the moon to be seen differed as the plant (earth) continued through its orbit around the sun.
  • The Great Attractor

    The Great Attractor
    Isaac Newton proposed "Universal Gravitation" in 1687, when the Principia Mathematica was published. The notion that stars, planets and apples followed the same rules everywhere was, and remains, a novel idea.
  • The Chemists

    The Chemists
    Marie Anne Paulze Lavoisier was a frence chemist, she and her husband Antoine Lavoisier were both known for their advancements in chemistry. Marie mainly served as her husbands lab assistant but never the less aided in almost of of his lab activites. they are both know for "rebuilding" the field of chemistry.
  • The Cotten Gin

    The Cotten Gin
    American inventor Eli Whitney, while living on a plantation with Catherine Greene, he was introduced to cotton a high yield crop. and with the help of himself, Greene and Phineas Miller the cotton gin was invented, made to make the picking of cotton a more effective practice by allowing slaves to separate cotton from its seeds.
