Ancient Inventions: II

The book, Ancient Inventions, has already been introduced and the first four chapters have been briefed. The book is a great archaeological as well as historical account of inventions and discoveries of the ancient time, which represents a different picture of our ancestors, from what we are used to. For a long, we have had a tendency to believe that technological knowledge has remained exclusively with our generation, and ancient people were some savages who did not progress to any level close to ours. This book proves this assumption incorrect, and claims  that many of our recent technological advances have roots in ancient times, and some high tech inventions, such as computers, may have been the result of innovations of people living some Melania before us. In analyzing some brilliant articles of this book, the next four chapters (chapters five through eight) are discussed here. Last four chapters (nine through twelve) will be introduced in a final article about this book.
