Download or read book Wagon Chariot and Carriage written by Stuart Piggott and published by Thames & Hudson. This book was released on 1992 with total page 184 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book presents the technological and social history of early land transport -- horses, wagons, chariots and wheeled conveyances of all kinds -- including the history of vehicles and mounts as symbols of status and eminence, fit to be presented to potentates, or buried with them. The author assembles evidence from texts and archaeology in the form of a grand chronological narrative that touches on matters as diverse as the fodder of King Solomon's horses, the military significance of the cavalry stirrup and the role of women on horseback. It begins with the ox-wagon: humble enough to us but, over 4000 years ago, the very first luxury transport. During the second millennium BC it was supplanted -- in lands as far apart as Egypt, India and China -- by the horse-drawn chariot, not merely as an engine of war, but as a parade car for public display and hunting in royal parks. Yet the chariot itself was gradually displaced by the ridden horse, which became the cardinal attribute of monarchy and nobility. The image of the heroic ruler on horseback remained constant from Marcus Aurelius until the eve of the modern era, by which time the covered carriage and coach had long since assumed the mantle of prestige vehicles.

For Promoting Christian Knowledge and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2018-01-25 with total page 228 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Book of Carriages, or a Short Account of Modes of Conveyance, From the Earliest Periods to the Present Time The earliest records of wheel carriages are to be found in the Old Testament, though as their use only is mentioned, without any description as to their structure, we have no very clear idea on the subject of their form. The chariot and the wagon are both named in Genesis; Joseph rode in the second chariot of Pharaoh, which was doubtless a state carriage of the same form as the war chariots, but differing from them, in having less complete military accoutrements, although even in these the case of arrows is not wanting. Wagons are also mentioned in Genesis as being despatched from the court of Egypt to convey thither the wives and little ones of the family of Jacob, and when Jacob saw the wagons which Joseph had sent to carry him, the spirit of Jacob their father revived.

Book excerpt: Insights from the history of numerical notation suggest that how humans write numbers is an active choice involving cognitive and social factors. Over the past 5,000 years, more than 100 methods of numerical notation--distinct ways of writing numbers--have been developed and used by specific communities. Most of these are barely known today; where they are known, they are often derided as cognitively cumbersome and outdated. In Reckonings, Stephen Chrisomalis considers how humans past and present use numerals, reinterpreting historical and archaeological representations of numerical notation and exploring the implications of why we write numbers with figures rather than words.
