Ancient technology

During the growth of the ancient civilizations, ancient technology was the result from advances in engineering in ancient times. These advances in the history of technology stimulated societies to adopt new ways of living and governance.

For technologies developed in medieval societies, see Medieval technology and Inventions in medieval Islam.

Many of these inventions had direct implications for Fiqh related issues.
