NAVIGATION assisted them in their journeys to unfamiliar and strange areas in the world. ANCIENT TIMES COMMUNICATION & RECORD-KEEPING COMMUNICATION – essential in their endeavors to discover and occupy new places. RECORD-KEEPING – they needed to remember the places they had been to and document the trades they made with each other. 7  30/08/2023 ANCIENT TIMES MASS PRODUCTION INCREASED DEMAND FOR FOOD AND OTHER BASIC NECESSITIES due to the increase in size and number of nations.

ANCIENT TIMES ENGINEERING In order to integrate their needs- for better transportation, establishment of structures for protection from human attacks and natural disasters, and construction of bigger and stronger infrastructures. Some of the structures built during ancient times still exist today and continually awe people! The development of Engineering ushered in the development of Architecture…… 9  30/08/2023 ANCIENT TIMES ARCHITECTURE Elaborated architectural designs were signs of technological advancement of a particular civilization. It may also establish the identity of a nation. LET’S PLAY! Pantheon, Rome (Italy) 10  30/08/2023 LET’S PLAY! Great Wall (China) LET’S PLAY! St. Peter Basilica (Italy) 11  30/08/2023 LET’S PLAY!
