Ancient Science Direction for New Technology

• Advances in ancient science and technology are
  somewhat difficult to study because they are
  almost always documented only indirectly through
  historical records and through discussions of
  modern historians who write about these
  societies. The study of ancient science is known
  as scientific historiography.

Innovation Technology

• The problem of the transmission of technology has
  important consequences in understanding the
  processes of historical change. It has often been
  pointed out that the study of technological
  innovation is essential to any comprehensive
  analysis of civilization and to help understand
  the differences between ancient science vs modern
  science.
