Summary
[edit]DescriptionCONTRAPTION (3125776042).jpg |
A first century AD way of transporting goods from one level to another. Transporting goods was always a problem as the Implements were still rudimentary. The same could be said for the transportation of water from one level to another. One method was very similar to this contraption, a simple way of bringing water from one level to another and it was called a shadoof. Another method was the use of the Archimedes Screw. This picture here might also be showing the basic way of dropping of goods to the lepers. It was shown in the epic film Ben Hur. A simplistic description might be of equipment used in building when it came to pulling up material or stone to a higher level. Live Crib Exhibition - Valletta 2008 |
