Smelting

The World's First Cities In ancient Mesopotamia, a land of blazing sun and very little rainfall, irrigation was vital for farming. Centuries before the beginning of known history, the Sumerians undertook the stupendous task of building embankments to control the floodwaters of the Euphrates River. Gradually they drained the marshes and dug irrigation canals and ditches. Large-scale cooperation was needed to build the irrigation works, keep them in repair, and apportion the water. This need gave…

1881. The Ely Copper Mine produced between 30 and 40 million pounds of copper during its operation. “The Ely mine was the only copper mine in Vermont where all technological aspects of refined copper production, from the mining of raw ore to the smelting of refined ingot copper, were successfully integrated on a large scale.” The main shaft descends into the mine at a steep angle The main shaft reached over 3,000 feet. During the first 13 years of operation, ore mined at the Ely Mine…

Nietzsche argues that tragedy originated in the chorus of satyrs, a “fictitious state of nature on to which they placed fictitious creatures of nature.” To him, because this fictitious chorus birthed tragedy, tragedy was not held to the expectation of true everyday life. However, he claimed that the world of tragic art was just as real to the devoted Greek as the gods of Olympus. Reason being, the fact that within this Dionysian chorus lives a being whose existence is bound in myth and religion,…

For many long years humans lived in tribes where they had to hunt and gather for their next meals. Farming was a thing but not the same as we know it today. The agricultural revolution, also known as the Neolithic revolution, was a huge change in the way of life for everyone. This period was a full transition from a food gathering to a food producing society. The revolution took place about eight thousand years ago among various tribes in Asia and the Middle East. They began domesticating plants…

1200 B.C.E. and 300 B.C.E., bronze craftsmen experimented with iron and they eventually developed a long process of smelting iron from the raw ore found in the earth’s surface. Ore, the key ingredient for iron, was much more common than copper or tin which are used to form bronze. This allowed iron to be cheaper and more people could obtain and use the revolutionary metal. The smelting process and iron goods spread throughout the Mediterranean quickly, and soon every major, and most minor,…

Human activities like noxious emissions from the smelting and mining of various minerals also started at that time. These activities had limited impact at that time but they became difficult for future generations. During wars, weapons helped in protecting the empires but helped in emitting harmful metallic…

responsible for the wide array of flora and fauna throughout the nation. Caribou, wolverines, and sturgeons are examples of iconic Canadian animals- however they are all threatened by numerous human activities. These activities, not limited to metal smelting, coal-burning, and car emissions, are largely a result of the nation’s industrial nature- like many other modern countries. Canada is home to a total of 47 national parks and reserves, which serve…

raptures of black wine (Senghor, 34).” Both quotes work together to attempt to create a picture of this woman, but “beauty is in the eye of the beholder.” On a completely different topic, imagery illustrates professions. Specifically the dangers in gold smelting. There’s danger while pouring the gold into a mold “A thick smoke that caught in the throat and stung the eyes, leaving us all weeping and coughing (Laye, 64). Other than that, authors don’t always need detail to get a point…

steel campaign, the people did not have enough rest, and the production of food was hindered by exhausted workers. With everyone encouraged to help create steel, not everyone had the proper skills, and a lot of the confiscated items were not fit for smelting. After all of the commune’s food ran out, the people were forced to cook on their own, which was nearly impossible without pots or…
