Imhotep's successors - Egyptians, Persians, Greeks and Romans - civil engineering led to remarkableheights, based on empirical methods aided by arithmetic, geometry and some emerging knowledge of physics.
It is noteworthy Egyptian engineering, based on the strength of armies of men undergoing a pharaoh and thelarge amount of stone available in the valley of the Nile This allowed the construction of huge temples and pyramids.
Although built impressive structures, only produced few significant innovations in building with stone fort washis brute strength and size.
They also built dams and canals, and had complex irrigation systems. When irrigated land was higher than thewater level, using a device called cigoñal "shaduf" to raise the water to a level from which the earth was heading.
I love this blog, because it tells the history of engineering and shows how without the advances of the great geniuses of history present in the development would not be possible today to consider to Leonardo Da Vinci the personage more integral story he is my idol . What is your favorite the personage in the history of engineering?

EliminarThis is a passion, I love all seasons of engineering, but stressed the Renaissance, which the humanity was separated from religious beliefs, it bringing humanity to new limits. Carlos Suarez.
EliminarMe like much theme and i wish i could learn about Engineering in the Modern Age.(Camilo Diaz)
ResponderEliminarI agree with that engineers should support the use of clean technologies and environmental care, but it is not just the engineers, the whole community must be aware that their actions can affect negatively the planet so all as citizens we should stop abusing the planet

The contributions of these personalities were reflected in many fields of knowledge, because they were really incanzables scientists who developed ideas and postulates that paved the way for today's engineering.

The Egyptians were a culture too important in the world due to their great strides in that time and the legacy they left us.
