It developed two types of armor, heavy and light. This era was also the most aggressive era known. There were wars to be the ruler of a land. So to protect the land, castles were created. These large pieces of technology provided shelter and protection from attacking forces.
This technology grew bigger. Soon it was a kingdom with a wall protecting it. It made the land more valuable creating more attacks and more technology to be developed. Catapults, large ladders and rams were made to storm the castle. The attacks grew and defense started shrinking, not much could be done. The world was in chaos.
This kept going on until the biggest war occurred. The fall of Rome. This event started with a change of religion that caused the emperor to be hated by more people. His next mistake was splitting his city into two sections. The two sections were different; the Eastern spoke Greek and worshipped under Christianity while the Western spoke Latin and was Roman Catholic.
Soon the western half was ignored and died out, then came the raids. Raids kept hitting Rome until in 476 C.E. the last Roman emperor fell to a German leader. It was one of the biggest wars in history due to the never ending raids. Now of course, things got worse as we used our technology against each other. But during that era, new techniques developed, such as writing.
It was an era of trade, no real currency has been established, and there were many languages that people couldn’t read. But one day, a trading group known as the Phoenicians acted upon the situation. They created a whole alphabet so that traders could speak to others easily. It seems weird, but it is a form of technology. It may be an idea, but you do use it to benefit your life.
Today, we use the same principle. Any language you take, there will be a way to write it so that you can understand what is being written. It helps us to connect with others around the world. So thanks to the Phoenicians (for sparking the idea of universal alphabet), we can do business with anyone. Along with writing, I should mention the history of the pencil or pen. It is one of the most used pieces of technology today.
It started with writing on the walls. The primitive humans would etch using a rock, remember how useful a rock is. Of course walls weren’t mobile. When pottery was big, the images would be painted on them for mobile messages. Soon traders used clay tokens to keep track of their supplies. The alphabet came around and made writing truly writing. Paper and pen came around in Greece with a stylus, either bone, metal or wax.
The Chinese made their own ink that was practically perfect. They also added dyes to get different colors when drawing. Along with the invention of ink, the paper came around. Papyrus and parchment were the most common use of paper being used by the Greeks, Romans, Egyptians and Hebrews. Papyrus was mostly famous in Egypt, commonly known as Prisse papyrus today. The Romans made a reed-pen that was perfect for the parchment and ink due to the hollow tubular body made from marsh grass, as well as the jointed bamboo plant.
