The Compass
In the ancient times mariners used to orientate themselves at the stars, but they could not really rely on that method, because during the day and on cloudy nights there were simply no stars visible.
The Screw
Have you ever thought who has the idea of invented the screw? … and more important!!...Have you ever thought how would be our lives without this invention? How we will build our furniture? Our machines? How we would hang the stuff in our homes?
Shower
It is almost impossible for the people in the western world to imagine a life without a shower. We shower almost every day to clean our bodies and our hair, and to relax under the soothing stream of warm water. But a very long time ago people lived without this luxury good which has become so ordinary for us.
The Marathon
You can watch this sport in every country, almost every city and in front of your TV. Yes, I am talking about the marathon. The Marathon is a long-distance running event over 42,159 km. But was it a greek invention? Read and try to figure it out.
Comedy
What suits better for an entertaining cheerful evening than a comedy which offers a bit action, tense, love and of course a lot of amusing scenes? Probably, a comedy pleases everybody and creates a positive atmosphere. But who invented this type of entertainment?
