All over the world, people devoted mental activity to the comets and
stars. They were thinking that a shooting star was a message from the
God seemed to be confirmed by its noisiness- as well as its
incandescent brilliance- when it plugged to earth. The 20th century
those persons suffering from mental illness were called lunatics,
meaning that their sickness was influenced by the moon. The moon was
a symbol of life and death. The later religions were also greatly
affected by the moon.

The delta villages were known as "islands". Here lived scientists who
have the knowledge of the moon and stars and prepare the new
calendar dividing the year in to 365 days. As early as 2700 BC,
Egyptians invent the paper, prepared to receive markings from the pen.
A baking stove, with a fire box at the bottom and an oven at the top,
was their invention. The first pyramid was build about 2700 BC. The
arts of writing and reading arose in about 3400 BC. In about 2500 BC
Moen-Jo- Daro, possibly held 40 000 peoples and was therefore one of
the world's largest city.
The coast of the present Israel was fringed with sand dunes and not
welcoming to a strange ship. According to one version of their history,
preserved in scripture, they were almost attentive by their pursuers on
the western edge of the Red Sea. Around 1000 BC, the Hebrews under
King David had their years of glory, for he captured Jerusalem. His son
and successor, King Solomon, built the magnificent temple atop the city
hill. After the death of King Solomon, in about 935 BC, his kingdom was
divided into two states, Israel and Judah. The Jewish God was all-
powerful and everlasting. The first Ten Commandments proclaimed that
there was only one God in the whole world.
If Christ's message was to stay alive,it could do so only with the help of
the Jews. The political conditions deteriorated in Palestine, and as
more and more Jews decided to leave, the city of Babylon became home
of spirited Jewish theologians. In the first century after the crucifixion
of Christ his followers lived mostly in the towns rather than the villages
and countryside. Christianity became like a shoe in the hands of a
hundreds shoemakers, taking on many shapes by the year AD 300. The
present form of Christianity, the observances and holy days, emerged
slowly.

CHAPTER # 12: THE WILD GEESE CROSS THE MOUNTAINS:
Nearly 1000 years later an easterly group, the Mongols, conquered the
largest territory. The Mongols early homeland lay well to the north of
the silk route. In 1206 Genghis Khan the chieftain of the Mongol, united
nomads who were against each other, with an army of 130,000 men he
began to conquer. China had probably the most skilled farmers in the
world. The invention of writing was slowly beginning in China. Paper
was being manufactured. In designing waterways the Chinese were
masters. Several techniques for building and sailing almost came from
China. In medicine and health the Chinese were vigorous in trying new
remedies.
A warm period intervened during the middle Ages, which helped the

Greenland with some 400 settlers. The Black Death in 1348 was not
unique. A similar epidemic hit Roman Empire between AD 165 and
180.In European ports, the rats and fleas were the carriers of plaque,
which spread swiftly in 1348. All in all, perhaps 20 million European
died.
Far to the south, in the distant Andes Mountains, was a relatively new
empire that seemed more formidable, Ruled by an emperor known as
the Inca. In a short space of time, one superpower began to fight its
way to the fore. The Incas were stronglyreligious. The Incas Empire fell
when Spaniards arrived. Suddenly the dominance of the Incas was
endangered by civil war even before the real enemy arrived. In
November 1532 the Spaniards easily captured the Inca emperor
Atahualpa. Smallpox, that invisible ally, was already leaping ahead of
the Spanish soldiers and killing large numbers of Incas. Measles and
Typhus arrived soon after smallpox.

Which permitted the rich and the unworthy, on paying a prescribed fee,
to hope that they could slip safely into heaven. It's fundraisers of
today, and they sold indulgences. As the medieval church, far more
than most Christian groups today, believed in eternal punishment, the
selling of exemptions and reprieves was sabotaging a key tenet of its
theology. Luther can still be seen as in the flesh. The fine German
painter Lucas Cranach knew him and captured him on canvas.

In this chapter writer describe the life style of Europeans' and Asians in
1500 or 1800 writer write that how they spend their life farmers and
other people only use with meal at the different countries was making
different things (house hold) for business with the time people change
their life style. When the peoples of this world become more skilled
then they produced more and more food and other things and with the
time slandered had traditionally been for those standing on the upper

In this chapter writer describe the war history of USA America and
emerging of the USA the South American Nations South Africa, Canada

For Centuries, most of Africa was virtually beyond the reach of the
peoples and empires of Europe. A lot of evidence suggests that the
desert was such a formidable barrier; it prevented European and Asian
empires from entering most of Africa. This largest desert in the world
covered one-quarter of all the land of Africa. Perhaps it should be
likened more to see than to land. Here and there, rising from the
desert, were Rocky Mountains which caught the rain. The desert was
far from a complete barrier. Caravans of camel crisscrossed it. Century
after century Islamic traders crossed it and won a host of converts.
European merchants crossed the desert more than is realized. The
town was an inland depot for the northern third of Africa and it was
approach less frequently from the closer coast of western Africa. Most
were interrupted by waterfalls, rapids and cataracts. In the vastness of
tropical Africa, there is no river to match the Nile. In the moist
woodland, bloodsucking tsetse fly and malaria infective many people
with sleeping sickness, these diseases helped to build a wall around
tropical Africa. The Indian Ocean was the main gateway to eastern
Africa.

CHAPTER #26: NOBLE STEAM:
Science and technology, more than in any previous century, had leaped
ahead. Never had long-distance trade so increased. The world had
shrunk but even rich people did not travel far in search of knowledge or
pleasure. The most traveled people in the world were not scholars and
priests but ordinary European and Arab sailors. People were used to
stay in there own localities and were they nearly found food and the
material they used for clothing and footwear. People drank there
mineralised waters for the sake of there health. In 1815, an American
noted that about 50 girls and boys were at worked and eldest child was
not over 10 years of age. In 1698 Thomas Savory applied steam,
produced by coal, to work the pumps in a Cornish mine and first used in
England. In land transport this was probably the most important
invention since the Roman road. The first steam train ran between
Stockton and Darlington in England in 1828. In 1850s remote provinces
of the new world were building their first railways. Before the age of
steam it was difficult to imagine a sailing ship arriving on time. Many
rural folks, assuming that they would never possess enough money to
buy a ticket for a train but after some time they realised that the world
has changed for ever. The steamships were wooden paddle-steamers.
By 1840 fast steamships were regularly crossing the north Atlantic. A
crucial advantage of a steam ship was that it could sail in windless
weather. It joined the Mediterranean and the Indian Ocean in 1869. The
discovery of Oil in Iran four decades later was to increase its
importance. A telegraph was a single line of iron or copper wire and it
carried signals from one station to the next. Probably the first public
telegraphs line in the world ran, in 1843. In 1850 a telegraph line
crossed the seabed of the channel between England and France.

young lawyer Abraham Lincoln entered politics, his supporters called
him “The Rail Splitter”. In 1862 he supported the idea of creating a
separate nation in Africa for blacks, “for the good of mankind”. Lincoln

enlargement of human free-dom. The most deadly wars in the long
period of peace between 1815 and 1914 were fought inside nations
rather than between nations. The nutrition and housing of most
Chinese peasants were poorer than those of most slaves in the United
States. This thirst for equality was a hallmark of the era, but the
equality was labeled and sold in bottles of different shapes and sizes.
This was a 19th century when the search for the general laws about

slain and maimed did not include may be 5 million civilians who died as
a direct result of the war. The war began in 1939 with Hitler’s invasion
of Poland. In the year 1940 and 1941, Hitler captured nearly all of the
central and western Europe except for Italy and Romania. The Second
World War consisted of two distinct wars, one fought mainly in Europe
and the other fought mainly in eastern Asia. At once the two wars –the
European war and the Asian war-welded in to one, with Germany and
Japan fighting on one side and the United State, Britain, China and
most of the other nations of the world on the other. By the last months
of 1944, they simply launched the air craft that bombed the warship
and determine the victory, after more than five years of war, the end of
the fighting was in sight.
Early in the 20th century, physics was perhaps the most commanding of
the sciences. For long the atom had been proclaimed as the ultimate
building block and atom is so hard and so basic that it could never be
broken into pieces. As Germany was to the fore in physics, it could be
expected to be energetic in harnessing that science to war. The United
States belatedly became the spearhead of nuclear research but there
was still a long path of experiment and research to be followed.
Germany was finally conquered in May 1945, before America was ready
to test its first atomic bomb. Here was the most extraordinary weapon
in the history of warfare. Today many historians denounced the
American decision to drop atomic bombs on Japan as another step in
human infamy. On 6 august 1945 a heavy American bomber flew from
the Marianas to Japan and drops the bomb on Hiroshima and Nagasaki.
The first formal shots of Second World War had been fired on the
northern European plains. Deaths in the combined German and
Japanese forces reached almost five million. The Jews, whose prewar
population in all of Europe was small compared to the population of
Germany. The existence of nuclear weapons was also a shock to the
idea of human progress. The Second World War had spurred a need for
new ways of propulsion. On 10th July 1962, satellites soon spanned the
world. With the new rockets, outer space could be explored in October
1957 they launched their first space craft. In the expensive contest to
send the first person into space the Russians won by 23 days, sending
Yuri Gagarin and his space capsule. In 1976 an unmanned American
space craft landed on mars. The exploring of space was a triumph for
the Russians as well as the American. Meanwhile the nation of the

Eastern Europe broke away from the Soviet Union and from
communism. When the Soviet Union was riding high it seemed that
Russian would become the chief international language by the end of
the century, however, the Russian language had fallen far. The power of
the United States depended heavily on its pale empire of ideas,
attitude and innovation. Europe slowly had outgrown its home.
