Antiquity. An astrology

you are: Antiquity

The Astrology is the science asserting that the life of each person separately and a human society as a whole depends on a relative positioning of planets on the heavenly arch. Hence, on a relative positioning of heavenly bodies at the moment of a birth of the person it is possible to predict, what his life will be. Corresponding conclusions and for the whole states and the people became. Having arisen it Ancient Babylon, the astrology has passed further from vavilonjan to 1 other people and has rendered a great influence on science development.

The Numerical mysticism was expressed at vavilonjan in assignment to some numbers special, ' mysterious ' values. For example, when vavilonjane idolised three heavenly bodies (the Sun, the Moon and Venus), number 3 was considered ' happy '. Later, when seven heavenly bodies have been idolised already, ' happy ' number 7 began to be considered.

For thousand kilometres from Mesopotamia and the Mediterranean in an extreme antiquity have arisen and civilisations of China and India developed. The semilegendary scientist subsequently erected in sanbozhestva, Great Juj, has covered China with a network of the irrigational channels which have provided high and stable crops. A bit later systems of astronomical views of ancient Chineses were issued.

Many important opening and inventions have been made in China for some centuries earlier, than in other countries (a compass, sejsmoskop, a speedometer, a paper, later, in nach. Our era, - gunpowder, publishing, etc.). The mathematics has had development already at the first Hansky dynasty (XX century BC - 25 d.C.). In 1st floor. II century BC Chzhan Tsan has found and has described a method of the decision of the equations of 1st degree with two and three unknown persons. The jing of Chouchan has entered for the first time concept of negative numbers and has formulated rules of actions over them. Put-tszy (between II and VI centuries) were developed by an original way of the decision in integers of the uncertain equations of the first degree (in Europe this problem has been solved by K.Gaussom only in 1801).

About development of practical chemistry tells a level of production of medicines, basically from natural raw materials, dyes, papers (II century d.C.). In the second Hansky dynasty (25-220) doctor Zhun Fen has written first-ever ' Pharmacology ' (' to Ben tsao '). That fact can testify To width of used medicines that by their XIV century was about 62 thousand.
