PART 1: THE ROOTS OF MATHEMATICS
PART II: THE ROOTS OF ASTRONOMY AND COSMOLOGY
Laboratory Distillation (Yantra) – Separating the Essences
The Concept Distillation is the separation of liquids through boiling and condensation. It is used to make alcohol, fragrances, [...]
Crystallised Sugar (Khanda) – The Reed That Produces Honey
The Concept Sugarcane juice is chemically refined to form stable, transportable crystals. This process includes boiling, clarifying, and crystallising. [...]
Indigo Dye (The Colour of India) – Weaving the Blue Gold
The Concept Natural dyes usually fade or wash off. Indigo (Neela) is a unique organic compound that requires a [...]
Rust-Proof Iron (The Delhi Pillar) – The Masterpiece of Corrosion Science
The Concept Iron rusts. Iron degrades when it comes in contact with air and moisture. To prevent this from [...]
Wootz Steel (The Legendary Metal) – The Ancient Nanotechnology
The Concept Steel is iron with a small amount of carbon added. If there is insufficient carbon, it is [...]
Zinc Distillation (The Metal that Evaporates) – Catching the Trickster Metal
The Concept Zinc is a tricky metal. When you heat zinc ore to melt it, the metal turns into [...]
