Ancient Chinese And South Asian Flights Of Fancy
It may not be surprising that early cultures pondered the wonder of flight: people in most parts of the world could see birds, bats, and insects flying about, and this likely inspired a great sense of curiosity.

Ancient Rainwater Harvesting: It Fell From The Sky and Became Worshiped by Every Civilization
Collecting and dispersing water has always been a matter of life and death for humans. In our informative years we must have cupped water from rivers, springs, and waterfalls while traversing wild landscapes following herding animals and meeting shoaling fish.
