  • 00:01:16
    so uh if you noticed
  • 00:01:19
    uh in the previous discussions when we
  • 00:01:21
    started
  • 00:01:22
    entering uh intellectual and scientific
  • 00:01:25
    revolutions
  • 00:01:27
    society not involved
  • 00:01:31
    clip video clip
  • 00:01:34
    by shakira uh dawn's
  • 00:01:37
    african intellectual revolution
  • 00:01:44
    2012
  • 00:01:48
    chapter where we discuss about
  • 00:01:52
    mesoamerica
  • 00:01:54
    and then last episode or last a
  • 00:01:58
    video before this i showed a clip
  • 00:02:01
    on the uh prince of persia the movie
  • 00:02:05
    prince of persia
  • 00:02:06
    for the um middle eastern intellectual
  • 00:02:10
    revolutions
  • 00:02:12
    now you know
  • 00:02:17
    an unclip now moving a sleeping giant
  • 00:02:21
    and the great wall and 2016 to show the
  • 00:02:24
    asian intellectual revolution
  • 00:02:26
    now what is the reason behind that the
  • 00:02:29
    reason behind that is because
  • 00:02:34
    i want to show you that the music we
  • 00:02:36
    have
  • 00:02:37
    the music that we have the culture that
  • 00:02:39
    we have
  • 00:02:40
    today the movies that we have are all
  • 00:02:44
    influenced by
  • 00:02:46
    uh historical or ancient scientific
  • 00:02:50
    and uh technological practices or
  • 00:02:53
    beliefs
  • 00:02:54
    by the ancient people okay so that's the
  • 00:02:57
    reason why
  • 00:02:58
    sodito is a sleeping giant no
  • 00:03:01
    uh the great they said that they were
  • 00:03:05
    searching for a weapon
  • 00:03:07
    they were actually actually referring to
  • 00:03:09
    the gun powder
  • 00:03:11
    because gunpowder was discovered or was
  • 00:03:14
    developed by the ancient
  • 00:03:16
    chinese civilization so asia is a very
  • 00:03:20
    large continent
  • 00:03:45
    and technology i discuss
  • 00:03:48
    middle eastern civilization separate to
  • 00:03:52
    asian civilization because the middle
  • 00:03:54
    eastern civilization
  • 00:03:55
    has a very large contribution to science
  • 00:03:58
    and technology
  • 00:03:59
    but
  • 00:04:02
    uh this was very concentrated to their
  • 00:04:06
    belief also no specific kusilandinis
  • 00:04:11
    now asia is a big continent
  • 00:04:14
    filled with rich culture and science
  • 00:04:21
    [Music]
  • 00:04:26
    practices
  • 00:05:06
    as you can see there are a lot of rivers
  • 00:05:09
    this actually shows that
  • 00:05:21
    discussions african intellectual
  • 00:05:24
    revolution
  • 00:05:24
    that the ancient africa started near the
  • 00:05:27
    nile river or
  • 00:05:28
    along the nile river because cultures
  • 00:05:31
    know
  • 00:05:32
    we also believe that many people believe
  • 00:05:35
    that rivers represent the flow of life
  • 00:05:38
    because reverse supported
  • 00:05:40
    life no but this also shows the
  • 00:05:44
    hydraulic civilization of china if you
  • 00:05:47
    remember our previous discussion that
  • 00:05:49
    the uh that asian china has
  • 00:05:53
    a similarity with that
  • 00:05:56
    of the engineering discussion
  • 00:06:00
    discussions uh engineering
  • 00:06:03
    engineers chapter one wherein we discuss
  • 00:06:07
    about uh the
  • 00:06:10
    hydraulic engineering
  • 00:06:13
    aqueducts aroma as a roman empire in
  • 00:06:16
    order to channel
  • 00:06:18
    water across the civilization
  • 00:06:22
    ancient china so they just have to
  • 00:06:24
    manage
  • 00:06:25
    or to understand on manipulating
  • 00:06:29
    what manipulating the uh hydraulics of
  • 00:06:32
    water
  • 00:06:35
    okay so the shia dynasty supported the
  • 00:06:39
    different astronomical researches to
  • 00:06:41
    create more accurate calendars
  • 00:06:44
    so that's from 402 to bce 400 bce to the
  • 00:06:49
    to zero bce
  • 00:06:50
    or along the year
  • 00:06:53
    no they measured the length of the solar
  • 00:06:56
    year
  • 00:06:57
    they came up with 365.25 days
  • 00:07:01
    almost similar to that of the egyptian
  • 00:07:03
    civilization
  • 00:07:04
    they also predicted eclipses recorded
  • 00:07:07
    supernovas and sunspots and even
  • 00:07:09
    founded the bureau of astronomy they
  • 00:07:12
    also
  • 00:07:13
    determined 26 thousand year cycle of
  • 00:07:16
    precision of equinoxes
  • 00:07:18
    now if you remember our uh i mentioned
  • 00:07:21
    during the
  • 00:07:22
    discussion on the uh natural
  • 00:07:25
    philosophers
  • 00:07:26
    nelson wherein i stated that
  • 00:07:30
    the moon of the sun dayal was actually
  • 00:07:34
    being used
  • 00:07:35
    of use by the uh ancient
  • 00:07:38
    asian civilization even before the
  • 00:07:42
    greeks
  • 00:07:42
    started to use it the shah dynasty was a
  • 00:07:46
    peak
  • 00:07:47
    of astronomy during this time
  • 00:07:50
    so i don't know is a picture no
  • 00:07:54
    what do you see in the map um
  • 00:07:58
    the ancient chinese civilization believe
  • 00:08:00
    that the cosmological
  • 00:08:02
    cosmos or the cosmos the universe no
  • 00:08:05
    rotates uh around
  • 00:08:10
    the middle earth or the
  • 00:08:13
    central kingdom or the middle kingdom
  • 00:08:16
    and they believe that the middle kingdom
  • 00:08:18
    is china itself they believe that the
  • 00:08:20
    world revolves around china
  • 00:08:38
    egyptians believes that pharaohs are
  • 00:08:40
    representations or liasons to the gods
  • 00:08:43
    and they also believe that here in
  • 00:08:45
    ancient chinese civilization that the
  • 00:08:47
    emperors
  • 00:08:48
    are representations of their deities
  • 00:08:52
    so they believe that their emperors are
  • 00:08:54
    uh gods
  • 00:08:55
    the dragon throne no
  • 00:08:59
    now one of the most known chinese
  • 00:09:03
    philosopher
  • 00:09:04
    is confucius so second view
  • 00:09:14
    first is importance of tradition
  • 00:09:16
    etiquette
  • 00:09:17
    respect to elders patriarchs and he also
  • 00:09:20
    focuses on
  • 00:09:22
    orderly human or world now because
  • 00:09:25
    he believes in the orderly human world
  • 00:09:27
    or orderly human
  • 00:09:28
    system
  • 00:09:33
    state exams
  • 00:09:37
    examinations but before a certain person
  • 00:09:40
    not be part of an office have an office
  • 00:09:44
    position
  • 00:09:47
    he or she
  • 00:09:51
    he must have the qualifications
  • 00:09:54
    he or she can have must have these
  • 00:09:57
    qualifications
  • 00:09:59
    because they want he wants or he
  • 00:10:00
    promotes order
  • 00:10:02
    but then again uh during this time this
  • 00:10:05
    was
  • 00:10:06
    during the time of confucius it was not
  • 00:10:08
    the time
  • 00:10:09
    of the height of science and technology
  • 00:10:11
    this was the time of the height of
  • 00:10:13
    philosophy
  • 00:10:14
    of arts but the height of science and
  • 00:10:16
    technology actually start during the
  • 00:10:19
    song dynasty
  • 00:10:26
    okay in the 8th century chinese started
  • 00:10:29
    cultivating
  • 00:10:30
    rice or canaan do you say the biopsy be
  • 00:10:33
    nothing rice
  • 00:10:34
    all asians know knows how to cook
  • 00:10:38
    rice or in all asians how to uh to cook
  • 00:10:42
    to eat rice also no but in the 8th
  • 00:10:46
    century
  • 00:10:47
    uh the ancient chinese civilization
  • 00:10:49
    already started cultivating rice
  • 00:10:54
    1012 during the time of song dynasty
  • 00:10:58
    introduced
  • 00:11:11
    and agricultural techniques on
  • 00:11:13
    preservations no
  • 00:11:14
    agricultural techniques on preservation
  • 00:11:25
    techniques
  • 00:11:39
    they are very known in rice cultivation
  • 00:11:42
    and we have different techniques on how
  • 00:11:45
    we cultivate
  • 00:11:46
    rice as well but somehow
  • 00:11:52
    technique is cultivating rice with
  • 00:11:55
    faster production and with less water
  • 00:12:01
    inventions ancient chinese civilizations
  • 00:12:15
    and contributions of the asian
  • 00:12:17
    civilization or the mesoamerican
  • 00:12:19
    civilization
  • 00:12:20
    or the african civilization so i'm just
  • 00:12:23
    discussing the historical aspects okay
  • 00:12:27
    first one is the rice plow or the water
  • 00:12:30
    lifting devices
  • 00:12:49
    civilization korea japan they have
  • 00:12:53
    high regard on clothing because
  • 00:12:56
    what you wear what type of textile you
  • 00:13:00
    wear represents your
  • 00:13:01
    social stratification pina pakistan
  • 00:13:10
    hunting umbrella gun powder which was
  • 00:13:15
    being seeked a while ago as a weapon
  • 00:13:18
    that
  • 00:13:18
    is not
  • 00:13:22
    that is indifferent from other weapons
  • 00:13:25
    explosive devices
  • 00:13:27
    explosive invention powder
  • 00:13:30
    porcelain a porcelain or
  • 00:13:34
    pottery pottery uh ancient chinese
  • 00:13:36
    civilization
  • 00:13:38
    influence then uh
  • 00:13:42
    [Music]
  • 00:13:45
    earthquake monitor paper
  • 00:13:49
    money suspension bridges because they
  • 00:13:52
    have a lot of rivers so they have
  • 00:13:54
    they need to have a lot of bridges also
  • 00:13:58
    and at this time the urbanization
  • 00:14:00
    skyrocketed because science and
  • 00:14:02
    technology is supported during this time
  • 00:14:04
    but then again there is no specific
  • 00:14:06
    person who ever
  • 00:14:08
    invented these stuffs walang specific
  • 00:14:11
    person but
  • 00:14:12
    the uh it is credited to the song
  • 00:14:15
    dynasty
  • 00:14:16
    because urbanization skyrocketed it was
  • 00:14:19
    the height
  • 00:14:19
    of science and technology the ancient
  • 00:14:22
    chinese civilization and the state
  • 00:14:24
    supported
  • 00:14:25
    arts and sciences this allowed them to
  • 00:14:28
    have
  • 00:14:28
    rich accounts of science and arts they
  • 00:14:31
    made clocks mechanical models and
  • 00:14:33
    heavenly bodies
  • 00:14:35
    giant machine replicated the heavenly
  • 00:14:38
    bodies and in 9th century they
  • 00:14:40
    invented the gun powder but later
  • 00:14:43
    harness
  • 00:14:44
    it to its potential sodium
  • 00:14:47
    they even made a large scale
  • 00:14:50
    cosmos
  • 00:14:56
    cosmological models okay
  • 00:15:00
    pero ang flagship nila is actually not
  • 00:15:05
    a flagship pillar is not their small
  • 00:15:08
    scale inventions
  • 00:15:10
    their flagship is their infrastructure
  • 00:15:14
    infrastructure now before we proceed to
  • 00:15:17
    discussing the infrastructure
  • 00:15:19
    let's try to understand where it came
  • 00:15:21
    from
  • 00:15:22
    among ancient chinese civilization
  • 00:15:25
    ventured on iron products in
  • 00:15:27
    117 bce but during the time of song
  • 00:15:31
    dynasty during 1078
  • 00:15:34
    they produced a 125 tons of iron
  • 00:15:44
    because they understood the science and
  • 00:15:47
    chemical properties of iron and coal
  • 00:15:50
    they did not rely only on its production
  • 00:15:54
    they increased its production by
  • 00:15:56
    understanding the science
  • 00:15:58
    and chemical properties behind iron
  • 00:16:02
    and coal so if you actually know this
  • 00:16:05
    chinese actually influenced japanese and
  • 00:16:07
    korean culture
  • 00:16:09
    and we know that samurai swords are
  • 00:16:12
    are hard swords than
  • 00:16:16
    uh strong swords rather than other
  • 00:16:19
    swords because of
  • 00:16:20
    understanding the science behind it
  • 00:16:23
    in addition to metallurgy
  • 00:16:26
    no the ancient chinese civilization also
  • 00:16:29
    ventured on hydraulic engineering
  • 00:16:32
    because
  • 00:16:34
    they have a lot of rivers so i have a
  • 00:16:37
    question
  • 00:16:39
    what is the greatest infrastructure of
  • 00:16:41
    china
  • 00:16:47
    great wall of china a great wall of
  • 00:16:49
    china's innocent
  • 00:16:50
    greatest infrastructure well
  • 00:16:54
    maybe because it was really long it's a
  • 00:16:56
    very long wall
  • 00:16:58
    and a wide wall also and its purpose is
  • 00:17:02
    for protection
  • 00:17:07
    greatest infrastructure of ancient china
  • 00:17:10
    that is most mechanical and has social
  • 00:17:13
    uh relevance alain
  • 00:17:45
    dynasty it stretched
  • 00:17:48
    all across china allowing the production
  • 00:17:52
    of trading faster
  • 00:17:59
    this was considered to be the most
  • 00:18:01
    economical infrastructure because
  • 00:18:04
    they deliver goods nicaraguan mode of
  • 00:18:08
    transportation
  • 00:18:13
    exchange of knowledge exchange of
  • 00:18:15
    trading across
  • 00:18:16
    china this actually also showed
  • 00:18:19
    no that china the ancient china is
  • 00:18:22
    united and powerful
  • 00:18:25
    because of the links made by the
  • 00:18:28
    [Music]
  • 00:18:30
    grand canals
  • 00:18:34
    yeah this is a picture a painting which
  • 00:18:37
    i actually got from one of the textbooks
  • 00:18:39
    on
  • 00:18:40
    ancient chinese civilization
  • 00:18:43
    as you can see now river river
  • 00:18:48
    river river river
  • 00:18:53
    river and
  • 00:18:57
    hydraulic engineering because they have
  • 00:18:59
    to lift water
  • 00:19:01
    they have to reduce the height of water
  • 00:19:05
    as you can see merenting river saloon
  • 00:19:09
    no city just like during the time of the
  • 00:19:12
    roman empire they have to channel
  • 00:19:14
    water across the city because water is
  • 00:19:17
    very relevant
  • 00:19:21
    water okay
  • 00:19:25
    so during this time was also the time
  • 00:19:29
    when during the chinese ancient chinese
  • 00:19:31
    civilization
  • 00:19:32
    hindi language advancement technology
  • 00:19:35
    advancement
  • 00:19:37
    methodology or hydraulic system but of
  • 00:19:40
    course
  • 00:19:41
    this was also the height of
  • 00:19:42
    understanding the
  • 00:19:45
    chinese medicine and there's a unified
  • 00:19:48
    term when it comes to eastern
  • 00:19:51
    medicine and that is called oriental
  • 00:19:53
    medicine
  • 00:19:54
    vaccinating asian medicine or eastern
  • 00:19:57
    medicine that could be
  • 00:19:58
    associated to oriental medicines okay
  • 00:20:02
    oriental medicines are influenced by
  • 00:20:22
    is influenced by the imbalances
  • 00:20:26
    imbalance uh imbalances
  • 00:20:31
    during the ancient chinese civilization
  • 00:20:33
    that can only be cured
  • 00:20:35
    by moving your chi yong uh
  • 00:20:38
    chakra morgan or something like that now
  • 00:20:41
    using
  • 00:20:42
    certain oriental techniques like
  • 00:20:44
    acupuncture acupressure
  • 00:20:46
    herbal therapies exercise and
  • 00:20:48
    prescription diets now
  • 00:20:50
    acupuncture and acupressure do not
  • 00:20:53
    actually have a scientific evidence you
  • 00:20:55
    do not have a very strong scientific
  • 00:20:57
    evidence
  • 00:20:58
    there's a study in 2014 and 2013.
  • 00:21:01
    that's attempting to explain a western
  • 00:21:04
    scientific
  • 00:21:05
    explanation i mean western scientific
  • 00:21:08
    explanation
  • 00:21:08
    trying to explain acupuncture and
  • 00:21:10
    acupressure but they cannot explain
  • 00:21:13
    how it works but it works
  • 00:21:19
    example they're going to prick
  • 00:21:23
    to put a needle in your tip of finger
  • 00:21:26
    tip of your finger
  • 00:21:27
    again acupuncture needle
  • 00:21:30
    and it would affect a certain part of
  • 00:21:32
    your body that do not have a direct
  • 00:21:34
    vein connection now how does that happen
  • 00:21:40
    now even if there's no scientific black
  • 00:21:42
    scientific explanation
  • 00:21:44
    using the western science it works
  • 00:21:50
    every culture has its own science even
  • 00:21:53
    philippines has its own science
  • 00:21:55
    different cultures all across the world
  • 00:21:57
    all across the globe
  • 00:21:58
    has different scientific and
  • 00:22:00
    technological practices
  • 00:22:02
    though it cannot be explained by western
  • 00:22:05
    civilization again
  • 00:22:06
    the western science is not the only
  • 00:22:08
    science
  • 00:22:09
    okay there's also science in asia
  • 00:22:14
    although even if it's it cannot be
  • 00:22:16
    explained it works
  • 00:22:18
    herbal therapies uh like the ginseng tea
  • 00:22:23
    no uh exercise and of course
  • 00:22:26
    prescription diets what you eat is
  • 00:22:29
    actually uh uh
  • 00:22:32
    tells more about your health okay
  • 00:22:36
    that was his ancient time i don't know
  • 00:22:38
    now
  • 00:22:40
    another ancient chinese ancient asian
  • 00:22:43
    civilization that i want to talk about
  • 00:22:45
    is the ancient india
  • 00:22:48
    they also have a very complicated
  • 00:22:51
    metaphysical understanding
  • 00:22:53
    on the inseparable knowledge and
  • 00:22:56
    religious traditions
  • 00:22:57
    and focus on applications now they are
  • 00:23:00
    like the middle eastern civilization
  • 00:23:04
    yonkanilang science mathematics and
  • 00:23:06
    technology
  • 00:23:08
    are highly associated to their belief
  • 00:23:10
    system
  • 00:23:15
    highly associated to their belief system
  • 00:23:18
    and that is
  • 00:23:19
    functional that's why one of the best
  • 00:23:21
    engineering institutions can also be
  • 00:23:23
    found in
  • 00:23:24
    india
  • 00:23:28
    indians have a very high regard on veda
  • 00:23:30
    when you say veda this means
  • 00:23:32
    knowledge they were concerned on math
  • 00:23:36
    and astronomy but mostly concerned on
  • 00:23:39
    rituals
  • 00:23:40
    because again it's associated in their
  • 00:23:43
    faith and in their belief system
  • 00:23:47
    as well um
  • 00:23:51
    yeah if if you visit youtube
  • 00:23:54
    no you can actually see a lot of
  • 00:23:58
    uh tutorials created by our fellow
  • 00:24:01
    indians
  • 00:24:02
    because they value knowledge a lot and i
  • 00:24:05
    thank them because i was
  • 00:24:06
    i'm actually one of the students uh when
  • 00:24:09
    i was in college who visits their
  • 00:24:11
    science
  • 00:24:14
    indian civilization also has large
  • 00:24:16
    contribution to
  • 00:24:18
    understanding medicine during the gupta
  • 00:24:21
    dynasties
  • 00:24:22
    india they studied the science of life
  • 00:24:25
    now pakistan science of life this is
  • 00:24:28
    called
  • 00:24:29
    ayurveda ayurveda this also
  • 00:24:32
    included some of the principles of the
  • 00:24:35
    ancient chinese civilization
  • 00:24:37
    now one of the most regarded records
  • 00:24:41
    is the sharaka samita
  • 00:24:44
    sarakasamita or one of the
  • 00:24:48
    other sashmita or collections uh
  • 00:24:51
    that could help you memorize hundreds of
  • 00:24:54
    named
  • 00:24:55
    body parts so this samita
  • 00:24:58
    is actually uh an ayurvedic book
  • 00:25:02
    okay it's a book on science of life so
  • 00:25:05
    when you hear
  • 00:25:06
    ayurvedic practice ayurvedic
  • 00:25:09
    book these are related to the
  • 00:25:12
    ancient uh medicinal uh science of life
  • 00:25:16
    practices
  • 00:25:16
    during the ancient indian civilization
  • 00:25:19
    that are still being practiced today
  • 00:25:21
    some are still being practiced today
  • 00:25:23
    no because they work okay they work
  • 00:25:28
    and if you're familiar with chi such as
  • 00:25:31
    ancient chinese they also use chakra
  • 00:25:35
    no like in naruto they studied anatomy
  • 00:25:39
    and etiology what causes different
  • 00:25:42
    diseases they also focus
  • 00:25:44
    for children early or elderly diseases
  • 00:25:48
    mental illnesses organ diseases surgery
  • 00:25:53
    poison and antidotes and aphrodisiacs so
  • 00:25:57
    they have this different
  • 00:25:59
    uh
  • 00:26:03
    what they call this oriental medicines
  • 00:26:04
    also
  • 00:26:06
    and develop understanding of five karmas
  • 00:26:09
    or actions to remove toxins
  • 00:26:12
    if you're familiar with the five karmas
  • 00:26:14
    and
  • 00:26:15
    the ayurveda of science of life has also
  • 00:26:18
    largely
  • 00:26:19
    concerns on healthful living
  • 00:26:22
    in
  • 00:26:26
    ancient chinese civilization it's all
  • 00:26:28
    about hygiene
  • 00:26:29
    it's all about diet okay it's still
  • 00:26:31
    about hygiene and diet what you eat
  • 00:26:34
    and what you do no because what
  • 00:26:38
    we do every day actually reflects our
  • 00:26:40
    health
  • 00:26:42
    now generally asian intellectual
  • 00:26:45
    revolution has made a margin
  • 00:26:47
    on the large contribution of ancient
  • 00:26:50
    asian civilization
  • 00:26:52
    the large continents has contributed a
  • 00:26:54
    lot in the field of science and
  • 00:26:55
    technology
  • 00:26:56
    engineering culture arts and religion
  • 00:27:00
    so the ancient asian ancient asian
  • 00:27:03
    civilization did not only focus on
  • 00:27:06
    uh religion no but or culture or
  • 00:27:10
    arts but ancient asian civilization
  • 00:27:14
    has a very big contribution when it
  • 00:27:19
    comes to science
  • 00:27:20
    and technology now if you're wondering
  • 00:27:24
    i only limited again my discussion on
  • 00:27:27
    ancient
  • 00:27:27
    asian civilization asia is a very large
  • 00:27:30
    continent if we're going to discuss
  • 00:27:33
    each country it will take a lot
  • 00:27:36
    of years to discuss that
  • 00:27:39
    i only chose uh china and
  • 00:27:42
    in india because these are the countries
  • 00:27:45
    that has actually also
  • 00:27:46
    influence and has exchanged culture
  • 00:27:49
    evident exchange
  • 00:27:50
    culture with other neighboring asian
  • 00:27:52
    countries like
  • 00:27:54
    uh china's influence japan and
  • 00:27:57
    south japan japan and korea and has also
  • 00:28:01
    direct uh trading with other
  • 00:28:04
    southeast asian countries which we have
  • 00:28:06
    these certain cultures as well
  • 00:28:09
    and india has also done uh trading
  • 00:28:13
    of knowledge with the middle eastern
  • 00:28:14
    civilization with other neighboring
  • 00:28:16
    countries
  • 00:28:17
    around it also now if you also notice i
  • 00:28:20
    did not discuss
  • 00:28:22
    modern scientific revolutions
  • 00:28:26
    i only discuss ancient scientific
  • 00:28:29
    revolution because if we're going to
  • 00:28:31
    discuss
  • 00:28:32
    modern modern scientific revolutions
  • 00:28:37
    it will take us a lot of years to
  • 00:28:39
    discuss that
  • 00:28:40
    asian intellectual revolution has
  • 00:28:42
    revolutionized the world
  • 00:28:44
    by its inventions rich culture and
  • 00:28:46
    tradition
  • 00:28:47
    mathematical contributions and largely
  • 00:28:51
    an oriental medicine
  • 00:28:52
    which until now not even the modern
  • 00:28:54
    western medicine can explain
  • 00:28:56
    its effectivity madaming ancient
  • 00:28:59
    scientific practices
  • 00:29:01
    and ancient practices
  • 00:29:04
    uh scientific and technological
  • 00:29:06
    practices
  • 00:29:10
    until today that worked before
  • 00:29:13
    that still works today okay
  • 00:29:17
    so that's all of it
  • 00:29:20
    that's the end of my discussion on the
  • 00:29:23
    chapter two
  • 00:29:24
    of uh chapter two of science technology
  • 00:29:29
    and society and that is
  • 00:29:31
    intellectual and scientific revolution
  • 00:29:34
    so
  • 00:29:37
    um we already done discuss we're already
  • 00:29:39
    done discussing about the copernican
  • 00:29:42
    intellectual revolution
  • 00:29:43
    where it actually changed the way how we
  • 00:29:46
    view the world
  • 00:29:47
    the universe rather uh and the darwinian
  • 00:29:50
    intellectual revolution
  • 00:29:52
    where it actually tinkled our
  • 00:29:55
    uh triggered our mind on the thoughts
  • 00:29:57
    about life
  • 00:29:59
    and then the freudian intellectual
  • 00:30:00
    revolution where we discussed
  • 00:30:02
    about um where we discuss
  • 00:30:05
    about uh humans
  • 00:30:08
    about understanding the human behavior
  • 00:30:12
    and human attitude or human personality
  • 00:30:24
    and then after discussing these specific
  • 00:30:27
    scientific revolutions and intellectual
  • 00:30:29
    revolutions
  • 00:30:30
    we went to discussing society again
  • 00:30:34
    the the reason why i showed you i made
  • 00:30:37
    i showed you uh clips of a movie
  • 00:30:41
    i showed you clips of songs because
  • 00:30:44
    these songs and movies that we have now
  • 00:30:48
    are influenced by the culture and
  • 00:30:50
    society
  • 00:30:51
    that was before no like some ancient
  • 00:30:54
    african civilization
  • 00:30:57
    by shakira apart from doing the zumba
  • 00:31:00
    you realize that we're all african
  • 00:31:02
    because the
  • 00:31:02
    oldest ancient civilization started
  • 00:31:05
    along the nile river
  • 00:31:07
    and then we also discussed about the
  • 00:31:09
    mesoamerican intellectual revolution the
  • 00:31:12
    um 2012 song by jason
  • 00:31:17
    uh talking about the end or the
  • 00:31:20
    importance of time
  • 00:31:22
    or the importance or relevance of time
  • 00:31:24
    and then
  • 00:31:26
    we also discuss thirdly discuss about
  • 00:31:29
    the uh middle eastern civilization
  • 00:31:32
    the middle middle eastern civilization
  • 00:31:35
    is about
  • 00:31:36
    um i showed to you the clip of the
  • 00:31:39
    prince of persia okay
  • 00:31:41
    so the prince of persia actually depicts
  • 00:31:44
    a portion of understanding on the
  • 00:31:47
    middle eastern civilization and then
  • 00:31:50
    lastly is the great wall
  • 00:31:52
    uh which is a fantasy also
  • 00:31:56
    no but i want you to realize that
  • 00:31:59
    technology
  • 00:32:00
    that asia has actually if you're also
  • 00:32:02
    going to watch
  • 00:32:03
    the movie mortal engine engines this
  • 00:32:06
    zhang guo no that's that's a sci-fi
  • 00:32:10
    uh film talking about the ancient
  • 00:32:14
    uh uh talking about the futuristic sorry
  • 00:32:17
    futuristic
  • 00:32:18
    civilization where the a uh asian
  • 00:32:20
    civilization
  • 00:32:22
    flourished so just to
  • 00:32:25
    clarify something though yumanda
  • 00:32:33
