ايجادون

[سنواريو]
Computer-aided reconstruction of Harappan coastal settlement in Pakistan on the westernmost outreaches of the civilisation
An ancient well, and the city drainage canals, in Lothal, Gujarat, India
  • Button, ornamental: Buttons—made from seashell—were used in the Indus Valley Civilisation for ornamental purposes by 2000 BCE.[1] Some buttons were carved into geometric shapes and had holes pierced into them so that they could be attached to clothing by using a thread.[1] Ian McNeil (1990) holds that: "The button, in fact, was originally used more as an ornament than as a fastening, the earliest known being found at Mohenjo-daro in the Indus Valley. It is made of a curved shell and about 5000 years old."[2]
  • Shipyard: The world's oldest shipyard has been found in Lothal. It is situated 80 km south of Ahmedabad in Gujarat.[3][4]
  • Cockfighting: Cockfighting was a pastime in the Indus Valley Civilisation in what today is Pakistan by 2000 BCE[5] and one of the uses of the fighting cock. The Encyclopædia Britannica (2008)—on the origins of cockfighting—holds: "The game fowl is probably the nearest to the Indian red jungle fowl (Gallus gallus), from which all domestic chickens are believed to be descended...The sport was popular in ancient times in the Indian subcontinent, China, the Persian Empire, and other Eastern countries and was introduced into Greece in the time of Themistocles (c. 524–460 BCE). The sport spread throughout Asia Minor and Sicily. For a long time the Romans affected to despise this "Greek diversion," but they ended up adopting it so enthusiastically that the agricultural writer Columella (1st century CE) complained that its devotees often spent their whole patrimony in betting at the side of the pit."[6]
  • Stepwell: Earliest clear evidence of the origins of the stepwell is found in the Indus Valley Civilisation's archaeological site at Mohenjo Daro in Pakistan and Dholavira, India.[7][8][9] The three features of stepwells in the subcontinent are evident from one particular site, abandoned by 2500 BCE, which combines a bathing pool, steps leading down to water, and figures of some religious importance into one structure.[7] The early centuries immediately before the common era saw the Buddhists and the Jains of India adapt the stepwells into their architecture.[7] Both the wells and the form of ritual bathing reached other parts of the world with Buddhism.[7] Rock-cut step wells in the subcontinent date from 200-400 CE.[10] Subsequently, the wells at Dhank (550-625 CE) and stepped ponds at Bhinmal (850-950 CE) were constructed.[10]
  • Circular saw: Excavated in Lothal.[11][12]
  • Bow Drill: Bow drills were used in Mehrgarh between the 4th and 5th millennium BC.[13] This bow drill—used to drill holes into lapis lazuli and carnelian—was made of green jasper.[13] Similar drills were found in other parts of the Indus Valley Civilisation and Iran one millennium later.[13]
  • Public Baths: The earliest public baths are found in the ruins in of the Indus Valley Civilisation. According to John Keay, the "Great Bath" of Mohenjo Daro in present-day Pakistan was the size of 'a modest municipal swimming pool', complete with stairs leading down to the water at each one of its ends.[14]
  • Grid Plan: Rehman Dheri contains the earliest evidence of a grid-planned city in south Asia dated c. 3300 BCE.[15][16] By 2600 BC, Mohenjo-daro and Harappa, and other major cities of the Indus Valley Civilisation, were built with blocks divided by a grid of straight streets, running north–south and east–west. Each block was subdivided by small lanes.[17]
  • Flush Toilet: Mohenjo-Daro circa 2800 BC is cited as having some of the most advanced, with toilets built into outer walls of homes. These toilets were Western-style, albeit a primitive form, with vertical chutes, via which waste was disposed of into cesspits or street drains.[18][19]
  • Drainage System: The Indus Valley Civilisation had advanced sewerage and drainage systems. All houses in the major cities of Harappa and Mohenjo-daro had access to water and drainage facilities. Waste water was directed to covered gravity sewers, which lined the major streets.[20]
  • Distillation: A terracota distillation apparatus in the Indus Valley in West Pakistan dates from around 3000 BCE.[21]
  • Cotton industry: The Indus cotton industry was well-developed and some methods used in cotton spinning and fabrication continued to be used until the industrialization of India.[22]
  • Public Litter bins: Archaeologists have found several brick containers that were strategically located along the street junctions of Mohenjo-Daro specifically for garbage disposal.[23][24]
  • Dentistry: The evidence of dentistry being practised as far back as 7000 BCE.[25] An IVC site in Mehrgarh indicates that this form of dentistry involved curing tooth related disorders with bow drills operated, perhaps, by skilled bead crafters. The reconstruction of this ancient form of dentistry showed that the methods used were reliable and effective.[26]
  • Touchstone: Found in excavations from Banawali, Haryana.[27][28]
  • Signboard: One of the most significant discoveries at Dholavira was made in one of the side rooms of the northern gateway of the city, and is generally known as the Dholavira Signboard. The Harappans had arranged and set pieces of the mineral gypsum to form ten large symbols or letters on a big wooden board.[29] At some point, the board fell flat on its face. The wood decayed, but the arrangement of the letters survived. The letters of the signboard are comparable to large bricks that were used in nearby walls. Each sign is about 37 cm (15 in) high and the board on which the letters were inscribed was about 3 m (9.8 ft) long.[30] The inscription is one of the longest in the Indus script, with one symbol appearing four times, and this and its large size and public nature make it a key piece of evidence cited by scholars arguing that the Indus script represents full literacy. A four-sign inscription with large letters on a sand stone is also found at this site, considered the first of such inscriptions on sand stone at any of the Harappan sites.[31]
  • هائيڊرولڪ انجنيئرنگ

"اپانيما" (Ipanema)، قديم مواد جي مطالعي لاءِ يورپي مرڪز، پاران ڪيل هي مطالعو يقين رکي ٿو ته هي "گم ٿيل موم" کاسٽنگ ٽيڪنڪ جو سڀ کان پراڻو سڃاتل مثال آهي، ڌات جي تاريخ ۾ سڀ کان اهم جدت مان هڪ آهي.[47] [48]
  • شيمپو: "بناوالي"، هريانا (2750-2500 BCE) جي اڳ-هڙپائي سطح ۾ شيڪاڪائي جي صابن ۽ آملا (هندستاني بيري) سان مليل شيمپو جا نشان ظاهر ڪيا ويا آهن، جيڪي هربل شيمپو ٺاهيندا هئا، ڏکڻ ايشيا جي حفظان صحت جي قديم جڙ کي ظاهر ڪرڻ ٿا.[49]
  • مورڊنٽ (ڊائي فڪسنگ): رنگن کي پڪو ڪرڻ لاءِ مورڊنٽ سنڌو ماٿري جي تهذيب کان وٺي استعمال ڪيا ويا، ان ۾ ڪپڙي جي رنگن تي هندستاني مهارت جو مظاهرو ڪيو ويو، جيڪو مغربي ڪيميائي رنگن جي ايجاد تائين بي مثال هو.[50]
  • پٿر جا سامان: قديم ترين پٿر جا سامان، چيني مٽيءَ جا اڳوڻا، سنڌو ماٿريءَ جي تهذيبي ماڳن هڙپا ۽ موهن جي دڙي تي درج ٿيل آهن، اهي پٿر جون چوڙيون ٺاهڻ ۾ استعمال ٿيندا هئا.[51][52][53]
  • پٺو (ست پٿر): هڪ هندستاني برصغير ​​جي راند جنهن کي "پٺو" پڻ سڏيو ويندو آهي، ڳوٺاڻن علائقن ۾ کيڏيو ويندو آهي ۽ ان جي شروعات سنڌو ماٿري جي تهذيب مان آهي.[54]
  • انگريزي بانڊ: هن بانڊ ۾ متبادل اسٽريچنگ ۽ هيڊنگ ڪورسز آهن، جن ۾ هيڊر اسٽريچرز جي وچ واري نقطي تي مرڪز هوندا آهن ۽ هر متبادل ڪورس ۾ ترتيب ڏنل هوندا آهن. ڏکڻ ايشيا ۽ دنيا ۾ ڪٿي به، نام نهاد انگريزي بانڊ سرن سان تعمير ڪرڻ ۾، هڙپائي فن تعمير جو پهريون استعمال هو.
  • آري، جديد: جديد ڏندن سان سچي آري هڪ هڙپائي ايجاد هئي.[55]
  • سُئيءَ جي اک: سُئيءَ جي اک هڪ ٻي هڙپائي ايجاد هئي.[56]
