Ancient technology

2013-03-11 18:17:31.941536+01 by Dan Lyke 0 comments

There's this general feeling that human technology is on an increasing curve, but we have a long history of civilizations rising and falling, technologies being developed and used, but then lost as the underlying civilization collapsed because it overran its natural resources and population limits.

Today's evidence: Metropolitan Museum of Art has a D20 die from the Ptolemaic Period in Egypt.
