Watercrafts In Ancient China

1.In 1820, the first steamboat sailed on the Great Lakes, as well as on the Detroit River. What was this vessel called?

According to Table 1.1, water vessel type W1 popularity increased over time, while water vessel type W2 decreased (refer to Chart #1). With this information, we may include the remaining archaeological data of water vessels in sites “D” and “GM” into the table with correct chronological order that pre-dates 2200 B.C. In essence, we now know the chronological flow of the sites from recent to oldest, which are “PGU”, “B”, “PGL”, “D” and “GM” respectively.

The innovation of maritime technology has revolutionized travel throughout history. Prior to ships and sea travel, humans were separated by vast oceans and confined to their homeland for life. Because of these large boundaries, discoveries and inventions were only shared within land masses and trade as a whole was very limited. This uncharted, inaccessible territory caused a major separation of mankind. However, these oceans sparked curiosity and desire for explorers to venture beyond their native land. This curiosity was the driving force to the invention of naval travel, a highly important and massive step for all growing communities during the Age of Exploration. Maritime technology’s advancements through history greatly aided in the Age of Exploration, allowing provinces to break their land boundaries and make monumental steps towards the advanced world humans populate today.

The trade and economy of the Egyptians were influenced by the invaders. The Hyksos brought with them the knowledge of metals, weapons, and a horse drawn cart know as and a chariot. These developments increased trade, economic expansion and the growth of cities. The trading of Bronze and Copper contributed to a major part the of the development and enlargement of Egyptian cities. Bronze and copper were used to made tools and weapons. The new technology spread by trading, traveling, conquest, and migration. The introduction of the crossbow to the Egyptians created a new revolution in

Some ancient civilization depend on rivers for their agriculture like Mesopotamian, Egypt, India, and China. Neolithic Mesopotamian and Chinese civilization learned to adjust to climate by using a systematic agriculture of farming and herding, living sedentary and developing a pottery, allowing the preparation and storing food and water. Over time other civilization such Indus Valley from India learned to predict a flooding of the river and use it to their benefit. Unlike the Canaanites society from Egypt in which believed to sacrifice an infant and child in the name of the earth god(Baalim)and goddess(Baalot) to ensure a prosperous harvest.

The Raft of the Medusa was created by Theodore Gericault in the years 1818 and 1819 during the French Romantic period. This oil painting, which stands at a massive 491x716cm, was created to capture the tragedy of the Medusa.This essay discusses what the Raft of the Medusa was, the reasons behind why Theodore Gericault made this painting and the political impacts it had at the time it was made. The ‘Medusa’ was a french frigate that set sail in 1816 from Rochefort heading to Senegalese. Harris (2011) states that Gericault read an account by survivors about the tragedy of the shipwreck and was intrigued to learn more. He learnt that the

According to Document 4 it shows a painting where the figures are wearing clothing made from one of the world’s most important agricultural products. The clothing that they are wearing is made out of flax in other words cotton. This is a very important invention, and the people from Ancient Egypt made the crop Flax in a surplus because in clothing made of this, you deflect heat. Because it tends to be very hot in Ancient Egypt this invention of clothing benefitted them a lot. This invention also led to cultural diffusion because with a surplus of this invention you can trade with other countries and spread your traditions and culture. According to Document 5 it shows a drawing of a ziggurat located in Iran and was built around 1250 B.C. The Ziggurat is a very majestic and beautiful piece of architecture made for the Sumerians to worship their gods. An invention that the Sumerians might have invented that we can tell from the drawing is the arch and ramp. The invention of the ramp is very important because that way heavy things can be moved from the bottom to the top easier. The arch is also important because it can support huge amounts of weight in buildings and other architecture. Document 4 and Document 5 are similar because both of them show incredible inventions that have changed the world for the better. Document 4 did this by showing the creation of clothes that can be worn in heat. Document 5 did this by showing incredible invention of the ramp and arch which makes building easier and more

It's the 1800s and industrialization is thriving throughout America. People are moving away from an agricultural way of life, moving into cities, developing arts and trades and trying to expand their boundaries of who, where and how they can trade marketable items. In trying to reach more and more customers at further and further distances the ability to travel further in less time creates a demand. In this time period most of the trade routes revolved around rivers as this was the easiest method of transportation and the mighty Mississippi being the largest trade route.  However, the problem with traveling the Mississippi or any riverway at this time is that you are at the mercy of the wind and currents. At this time you travelled by boat with full sail and could not maneuver against tides or a poor wind.  There was a need to create something that could deal with this dilemma.  More and more inventions and machines are being created. With these inventions it becomes effortless to complete painstaking tasks. The effect of this is tade becoming more

In 1982, the Ulu Burun shipwreck was discovered off the coast of Ulu Burun, near the modern city of Kas, Turkey. This fifty-foot long trading vessel was sank under the Mediterranean Sea. The discovery of preserved raw materials and finished goods in the wreck ship revealed the vast trade routes among seven different ancient civilizations and the significance of network and distribution of commodities during the Late Bronze Age by deciphering the clues of preserved artifacts; therefore, archaeologists should explore more of the ocean in order to accurately answer the questions about the past.

The civilization of ancient China was the most successful civilization with their inventions,food,and religion. They had the best inventions like fireworks these were amazing because some inventions they’ve made are fireworks. Fireworks were used for many things in China, and now in many countries. reason we use them is for celebrations or 4th of July. China made fireworks around 2,000 years ago. people say that a chinese cook created it in a field kitchen and accidentally mixed, charcoal, sulphur, and saltpeter. Which he found in his kitchen all so commonly to make something so amazing that we use today.

The Chumash didn’t just have one type of Tomol; they had three boats they would make. There were tule balsas, dugout canoes, and the more famous plank canoe. The tule balsa canoe was a boat that was made of bundles of tule and was assembled in only three days. This was a canoe they would build when the area was running low on supplies and wood for the other canoes. To build this boat, they would first need to cut down some tule, then let it dry while. Tule is a plant that would grow in water areas and would be found off the coasts of areas. When the tule is dry, the Chumash would put them into bundles and tie them together; each bundle would depend on how big the Chumash would want the canoe. Unlike the other canoes, this canoe was never made with boards or planks; however, this boat was slow compared to the

If I were lived in ancient China and I have to choose one weapon for hunting, combat and martial art training, I will choose Halberd for weapon of my choice. The reason why I choose the halberd is that they are two handed weapon and two handed weapon has great attack power because of its sharp and heavy edge. Moreover, the length of the stick attached to the sword give advantage in combat to attack the enemies from distance. Also the Halberd are known for choice of both cavalry and infantry weapon. The halberd user can easily cut down its prey from the house back and the powerful swing of the halberd can cut down leathers and metal armors. During the ancient China a lot of martial artist use halberd in their combat training, for example Guan

iii. He called it the Solar Sailor, which has an electric motor they can power to drive the propeller properly, meaning the boat will be more efficient and easy to move and back up without stalling them.

Using their geometry, they were able to survey and preserve the layout and ownership of farmland, which was flooded annually by the Nile River. Through the use of ancient irrigation techniques and technology the Egyptians were able to water the growing fields? They invented a tooled called the “shaduf” and used it, along with canals, to move the water to where it was required. The shaduf is a bucket, bag or basket at the end of a pole. It balanced on a frame and has a heavy weight attached at the other end.

A propeller that was commonly used on the boats was the simplest two appendaged dorsal placed in the above the water. This propeller’s was long in height and shorter in width. Another frequent dorsal was the propeller placed under water with some sort of “cage” to keep it stable. This propeller had a very short diameter and a larger width compared to the first propeller. Also, the appendages were curved in order for the water to be caught and thrust through the propeller.
