    INVENTIONS OF

    DIFFERENT
    ANCIENT
    CIVILIZATIONS
    Pantheon
    The pantheon was completed
    around 126-128 A.D. during the
    reign of Emperor Hadrian. It
    features a rotunda with massive
    domed ceiling that was the largest
    of its kind when it was built.

    Stone chariot
    Shrine built in the form of a chariot is among the three
    famous stone chariots in India. The structure is
    dedicated to Garuda who is the carrier of Lord Vishnu.
    The carvings and sheer beauty of this structure make it
    a 'must-visit' attraction of Hampi.

    The Great Pyramid of Giza


    The Great Pyramid of Giza is the oldest and largest
    of the Seven Wonders of the Ancient World. It is
    estimated to weigh approximately 6 million tons
    and consists of 2.3 million blocks of limestone and
    granite, some weighing as much as 80 tons. It was
    originally covered by limestone casing stones that
    formed a smooth outer surface.

    Papyrus
    As early as 3000 B.C., Egyptians developed a
    technique for making paper from the pith of the
    papyrus plant. Long strips were woven together
    and weighted down to bind them into a strong, thin
    sheet. The Egyptians also invented pens made of
    cut reeds and mixed soot with beeswax and
    vegetable gum to make ink.

    Sphinx of Thutmose III


    The Bronze Sphinx of Thutmose III is a statuette of a
    sphinx made during the 18th Dynasty of Egypt. It was
    purchased by the Louvre in 1826, and is part of the
    permanent collections.

    Stone tools
    A stone tool is, in the most general
    sense, any tool made either partially or
    entirely out of stone. Most stone tools
    are associated with prehistoric
    (particularly Stone Age) cultures that
    have become extinct.
