HOW EUROPEAN INDUSTRIAL REVOLUTION AND RENAISSANCE IS LINKED TO COLONISAITON OF INDIA AND THE TRNASLATION OF SCIENTIFIC BOOKS BY THE PERSIANS OF THE ABASSID CALIFAT IN THE HOUSE OF WISDOM OF BAGDAD ??? The colonisation of India fuelled accumulation of wealth which in turn became the capital which in turn allowed the BRITISHVto launch cotton industries IN MANCHESTER based on Indian cotton weaving looms (Indian technology) then they exported this trend to whole of Europe, then with these indistries they discovered that the profit from sales of industrial produce can be reinvested and the cycle went on till only few persons began to control the rest of the population , with the booming industires they felt that industires should be centralised and this led to transportation between the place of residence and that of working areas, this in turn led to urbanisation and now to globalisation and now from colonial punder all this has started and we should look at the truth if we want to really progress so let us admit that with the colonial loot in INDIA , the "Euroepan industral revolution" has started...Now WE will see how Indian invention of zero as a sign and also a place holder began to reach the jesuits of cordoba via BAGDAD WHEN CALIFAT was ruling SPAIN !!! THOUSANDS OF BOOKS FROM 600 BCE TO 1800 CE WAS EXPORTED TO EUROPE VIA THE ARABS, the GREEKS WHO STUDIED IN NALANDA TAKSHILA UNIVERSITY OF INDIA (then PAKISTAN was part of INDIA) all these INDIAN KNOWLEDGE of the UPANISHAD INSPIRED SHOPENHAUER AND OTHER GERMANS TO WRITE PHILOSOPHY for their renaissance AND the indian mathematical books written by ARYABHATTA, BASKARACHARYA, BRAHMAGUPTA that the ARABS LIKE al buruni, al kwrezmi etc TRANSLATED in their "HOUSE OF WISDOM" in bagdad helped a lot to disperse knowledge to EUROPEANS so Indian scientific books contributed largely to launch "Euroepan renaissance" Even litterary or fictions was exported to EUROPE : even lafontaine who wrote the "les fables de la Fontaine" was inspired from "panchatantra" of india and he had the rare magnanimity to admit that ; so also ANQUETIL DU PERRON who had admitted that he translated 200 books to take home that he gifted to "BIBLIOTHEQUE ROYALE" We can conclude safely that INDIA yet again gave the impeteus for the Euroepan renaissance.. TRUTH ALONE SHOULD THRIVE AND NO EUROCENTRIC LENS SHOULD ALLOW IT TO BE CORRUPTED

Interestingly enough, the Romans were the first civilization to develop a concrete similar to modern concrete... and after the fall of the roman empire, concrete became a lost technology/ innovation until the late 18th century. Even more hilarious is that many triumphal arches, for example, are believed to be made of basic molds of concrete which were then faced with elaborate marble relief sculpture. So basically they took the lazy route... by working smarter rather than harder. I'm not 100% on these facts, but that's pretty much what I remember from an art history class a couple years ago. EDIT: Romans were technically not the first ones to use concrete. Dating back around 6,500 BC, Nabatean traders used a form concrete as a type of mortar to reinforce their structures. Furthermore, both ancient Egypt and China discovered a form of concrete before the Romans. However, many ancient civilizations that utilized concrete only used it to supplement their structures rather than using it as a main building component. The Romans simply utilized previous findings about concrete to manufacture the most technologically advanced iteration. Not only this, but they were the first to utilize it so extensively: It was now being used as a main building component rather than supplementary means. The way that Romans used concrete was revolutionary. It allowed them to go beyond traditional stone and brick architecture, and it enabled them to build highly complex structures.

@@andreamarino6010 I was in Rome for two weeks last September. They were building a new subway line while I was there, just in front of the Roman forum. I never used the buses (because I basically walked everywhere however I did hear they are not very good) but I was fine with the subway which I felt, for such a small city centre, more or less pretty much covered everything. I think it's because it's easier to walk everywhere in Rome. I live in London, which is substantially larger than Rome, and if we didn't have all the underground trains we have, we'd be screwed though I get that if you live in the suburbs, it will be difficult for you to get to the city centre if the transport sucks. In London, there are new buildings being built all the time just to make money, namely fancy apartment buildings for the rich. London is a great city but it's also not without its faults, to use just one example. It's true that in Rome they're limited in how many subway lines they can create for fear of ruining any ruins that may still be existing underground but I would much rather the ruins be preserved. Besides, they are trying to get around this, they are attempting to create new subway lines as already stated. The garbage did stink but I didn't think the streets were dirty per say; in London, the bins don't stink but there is rubbish strewn everywhere on the streets and it gets worse on Friday nights and Saturday mornings (and nights also) after everyone gets drunk and you see vomit on the ground regularly. People also pee everywhere so that's something else to content with. Still, it's a real shame such a beautiful city like Rome is not treated with better care. I also never saw any boars while I was there but I personally would have absolutely loved it if I had. London is filled to the brim with rats, pigeons and foxes, they are absolutely everywhere so I'm not sure that it's much different in that respect. Besides, I love the foxes, I love seeing them hunt around the city. However, the foxes will often go through our bins during the night and in the morning, depending on where you live and how you put the garbage out, so you might find rubbish strewn everywhere in front of your house because the foxes will rip the plastic bin bags open to scavenge for food. Overall, I loved Rome, it was beautiful, it wasn't that dirty (at least, not by capital city standards), it was hot and I made a lot of friends there. I would happily live there even with all the issues. No city is perfect and I think Rome is definitely worth a try. PS. There were also around 4 subway lines while I was there, if I remember correctly.

But God is not willing that any should perish. Sinners broke God’s Law and Jesus paid their fine. This means that God can legally dismiss their case: “For God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son, that whoever believes in Him should not perish but have everlasting life.” Then Jesus rose from the dead, defeating death. Today, repent [turn away from your sins and don’t practice them] trust Jesus, and God will give you eternal life as a free gift. Then read the Bible daily and obey it. God will never fail you.

It’s a great attraction and i think, made in sort of the same manner in Rome, it would be magnificent.

@@fase1doughnut No, they were not very advanced. When the most remarkable and central piece of architecture is devoted to an arena where people gather to see beasts and people being tortured, there must have been a problem. They had very good soldiers who knew how to build roads fast, that must be conceded to them, but beyond that ... Their temples were treasuries, banks essentially : you deposited your valuables, like what you had succeeded in taking as a prize, and in return you had various pensions.

Wonderful as usual!

Please look up ancient sites in India before making such a ridiculous statement. It's funny how individuals just learn one part of history and claim it as the best without even learning about more impressive sites that exist in other ancient countries and to say this type of architectural sites didn't exist anywhere else shows narrow mindedness, like Rome alot, dont take me wrong, although they can't even hold a candle next to Ancient India.

Roman Architecture and Civil Engineering was significantly influenced by the Etruscans and even the actual concept of Aqueducts for freshwater was something the romans borrowed from Etruscan Civilization. And Etruscan city inhabitants lived in decent houses and small apartment buildings when Romans were still using mud bricks and thatch (around 750, 700 BC).

@Hatypus

Other than perhaps the far reaches of Russia and Scandinavia, most of Europe did not live in huts and this time, and certainly not caves. The other Italic peoples, the Celts, Greeks, Germanics and such all had varying degrees of towns, the Greeks being especially spread across the mediterranean and black seas as far afield as the mouth of the Don river or Kalathoussa, west of the straits of Gibraltar. Just because the Germanic and Celtic peoples did not have large stone towns and cities does not mean they were backwards.

there is no feeling quite like walking into the Pantheon, past the forest of columns and into the massive interior, with the vibrant marble floor preserved ever since the Roman times and the concrete roman dome and walls still standing, knowing that, 2000 years ago, a roman would have seen very much the same thing and experienced the same awe

@@drpepper3838 That's not exactly correct!It is obvious that some of the Greek architecture was relevant, because cronologically speaking it arrived before the Roman one, but Romans took inspirations from the Etruscans first. Secondly, the Roman engineering was way more advanced and efficient than the Greek one. Roman engineering: Acqueducts, Anfiteathers, Cloaca Maxima (sewer), Roads, concrete, the famous insulae, and so many other inventions and innovations. Without forgetting that the Etruscans used the arch, which it was developed by the Romans, whereas the Greeks didn't use the arch at all. Just in one or two cases, and in a very elementary way. So, Romans were way more advanced than Greeks. Last but not least: Roman buildings and constructions are still here and several of them are still working, whereas Greek ones mostly disappeared.
