Welling Mathematics Ancient technology

 

·         A major portion of my research has come directly from ancient cultures archaeological findings. The findings point to philosophies, languages, mathematics, sciences, engineering, technology, and equal to modern or in most cases far beyond anything we can imagine even in the year 2011. Part of the reason is large religious movements which point strongly too “knowledge is evil”, while other parts of the society have no interest what so ever in having anything to do with advanced technology.

·         There are times when the population does not want the best and brightest, they want “someone I can feel comfortable having a beer with.” Some of the other common phrases are “I want to be able to have a conversation with my leader, without feeling stupid.” The population, when those societal swings occur feel intimidated. The leaders who are the smartest, best, brightest, most intelligent, etc. are only tolerated during very specific social swings. Other than those specific swings, the population wants to feel comfortable and be friends with their leaders.

·         I am reminded of “Black Jack” Pershing; once he was freed of the bounds holding him back, he rose to the highest rank possible in the American Military. Equal only to the Posthumous rank given to George Washington in circa 1900s. Both were given the equivalent of a sixed star. Rising up through the ranks, for Pershing was close to impossible. The structure of the military at the time was seniority not skills or talent. So incredibly capable and skilled leader of men was denied promotion for almost the entire first part of his career due to the societal structure. But freeing from the bonds of the society and army was not possible. Same goes with advancing technology in the societal polarity swings.

·         The same people who have no interest in advanced technology are profoundly interested in the fun and achievements they can obtain from the use of the tools which come from advanced technology.

·         Societal swings nothing new;

o   Another monstrous point to make about the subject of advanced technology be that advanced technology part and parcel with something ancient we have no idea about or something bran new; there are times when a society gets conservative and wants nothing to do with anything new. That new being anything outside their comfort zone.

·         Societal swings nothing old; on the flip side of the a societal swing. When the society swings back the other way, the society wants nothing old. Everything old is not wanted, useless, and is usually thrown away. New is wanted, needed and desired with the old being so “passé”.

·         Societal swings are not good in either aspect. Something is left behind in both cases. The nothing new; the society does not invest in the future. The negative side to a society not wanting to invest in the future is; the society which does not invest in technology will be passed by. The negative side of nothing old is; “those who forget the past or destroy the past. Are doomed to repeat the time investment, sacrifice, and money involved with the old. Having to rebuild, reinvent, recreate, etc. the old after it has been destroyed.

·          

·         Most technology the western world has been developing for the last 100 years has been at least generationally on the drawing board since the early 1820s. Computers, interactive hand held computers, phones, portable music, etc. was all started on the drawing board when the last bit of the Roman Empire collapsed in 1806 and the collected knowledge of the entire roman, Greek, Aegean, Canaanite, Indus Harappa, Egyptian, UK, and Kaern library was opened to scholars.

§  “This vase is made of hard stone, yet is round and smooth like it has been turned on a lathe, while this is impossible for our modern technology, especially to make the interior, due to the narrow opening.” This vase is not possible to be crafted today. No modern technlogy can recreate this vase. We can come up with semi-approximates but our semi-approximates would take far longer than it took to create this fine vase. Long enough that the cost effectiveness of this vase is prohibative; and we would use modern machines. Even with modern machines the cost is still prohibative.
