Since floods occurred occasionally, the Sumerians had…

influenced by multiple significant geographical features. Possibly the most noticeable of these is that the civilizations there tended to develop the most and the quickest around major rivers: Egypt near the Nile River, and Mesopotamia around the Tigris and Euphrates Rivers, both of which supplied…

Hankin performed an interesting experiment to test if the antibacterial ‘substance’ in Ganges and Jamuna was volatile in nature. He heated the Ganges and Jamuna water in an open and a hermatically sealed tube (Hankin, 1896 and Hankin 2011- this is the English version of the original French paper translated by gangagen.com). He found that the antibacterial activity was retained when the water was heated in the sealed tube, but was lost in the open tube. Although the exact temperature and the…
