		Unlike in the case of Mesopotamia, where there are readable written inscriptions dating as far back as the Sumerian period in 3100 BC, there are no written records from the Indian subcontinent before the third century BC except the Indus Valley seals, which remain by general academic consensus unreadable despite occasional claims to the contrary.
		The modern history of Indo-European studies and indeed of linguistics begins with William Jones, writing in the 1790s, who was the first to relate the kinship of Sanskrit with classical European languages.
		Müller also believed that the gods of the Vedic pantheon were related to the gods of Greek, Roman and of Norse mythology, so he argued that the pagan culture of Europe could be traced back to the Aryans, who must have expanded both eastwards and westwards from their homeland.

	Historical Notes: Teleology
		By 400 BC, following ideas of Anaxagoras, Socrates and Plato discussed the notion that things in nature might in effect be optimally designed for coherent purposes by a single mind.
		Around 350 BC Aristotle claimed that a full explanation of anything should include its purpose (or so-called final cause, or telos) - but said that for systems in nature this is often just to make the final forms of these systems (their so-called formal cause).
		The rise of monotheistic religions led to the widespread belief that the universe and everything in it was created for definite purposes by a single god.

		The major increases in public works beginning in 183 BC he attributes to an increase in imperial revenues, which also eradicated the heavy debt of the Second Punic War.
		His return to public life in 1796 (and Ellis says Jefferson's retirement in the early 1790s was sincerely meant to be permanent) was motivated by a genuine fear that the Federalists intended to rollback the American Revolution.
		In that vein, his whole life was dedicated to promoting and protecting a utopian vision of a country of small, yeoman farmers (Jefferson lived on an inherited plantation), with little debt (Jefferson died bankrupt) and no slavery (Jefferson owned hundreds, relied on them for his livelihood and didn't set them free on his death).

	Overview of Liberty (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-01)
		This epic rebellion, which probably occurred around 1250 BC, was the earliest successful slave rebellion in recorded history.
		The French thinker Baron de Montesquieu (1689-1755) was the perhaps first to focus on this issue, and the American James Madison (1751-1836) did more than anyone else to achieve a written constitution for maintaining a separation of powers.
		A separation of powers didn't develop in France, which why, during the 1790s, the Revolution turned into the Reign of Terror and led to the dictatorship of Napoleon.

	The International Canal Monuments List - Part IIa - Individual Structures
		Single (or "flash") lock-gates were in use by the 1st century BC (Chien-Lu Dam and canals near Nanyang) but may have been used earlier (in the valley of the Euphrates, or the port of Sidon) for irrigation and sluicing purposes.
		In Europe, the lock was developed initially to overcome two specific problems: a desire to allow boats to enter a drainage and navigable water system which was protected by dykes, and the need to increase the depth of water available for the navigation of rivers.
		An important non-canal site in the evolution of the single-gate lock is the port of Sidon (2nd century BC or earlier); there are still extant Phoenician harbour works there, where rock-cut grooves (one still remaining) indicate the former existence of four sluice-gates, probably for flushing the harbour.

	Miles -"Introduction: Gothic Romance as Visual Technology"- Volume Title - Praxis Series - Romantic Circles
		Cagliostro was eventually to attract the attention of the Roman Inquisition who were sufficiently startled by the gravity of the Great Cophta's revolutionary threat to arrest him, torture him, and extract his confession, before burying him alive in the turret of a remote mountain fortress, despite his European-wide celebrity.
		Cagliostro's Gothic sufferings at the hands of the Inquisition prompted two of the genre's most accomplished romances from the late 1790s, Radcliffe's The Italian (Miles, 2000, xvi-xviii) and Godwin's St Leon.
		Critics attacked the novel because they perceived it to be a dangerous technology, a menace especially prominent in the Gothic romance, the dominant shape of the 1790s.

		Canning is the newest of the food preservations methods being pioneered in the 1790s when a French confectioner, Nicolas Appert, discovered that the application of heat to food in sealed glass bottles preserved the food from deterioration.
		He theorized “if it works for wine, why not foods?” In about 1806 Appert's principles were successfully trialed by the French Navy on a wide range of foods including meat, vegetables, fruit and even milk.

	The Mysteries of Myths of Heat
		unearthed this ancient background of atomic and pre-atomic theory: Greek philosopher Anaximander (610-546 BC) imagined “a formless mass that was both the source and destination of all material things.” His name for this unobservable substance was apeiron, translation: infinite.
		Another Greek philosopher, Leucippus (born 490 BC), is generally regarded as the primary authorof “atomism.” Greek philosopher Democritus (440-371 BC), a student of Leucippus, put forth the idea of a void in which atoms moved and interacted.
		Atomism continued to play a role in scientific thinking into the Second Millennium, but since no one had seen atoms or knew their nature, it was possible even for some leading scientists, e.g.
