Origin of Science and the Crusade
Science and technology was, is and will be a lethal tool to rule the world. Science has been the key to the power. The nation which owns the latest technology can rule the world, it is proved from the
Cavalry archer of Genghis Khan to the modern day nuclear war head. But when we look at the history of the world Egyptian, Greeks, Roman, Persian, Mongolian, Saracen, British, Dutch,
Portuguese, Chinese, Indian and many others had been the super power in different periods of the history. Yet when we talk anybody about a scientific inventions and discoveries or major leap in the scientific development most tent to point their fingers towards the Europe if it is before 18th century and towards the USA if it is after 19th century. This sort of behaviour is deep down in our minds. But is this correct? If so, why the non-European nations were super power? For this I think we have to take a journey in the history of Science from the early Egyptians. In this short article I would like to take an excursion about the origins of science, where there the history had been littered with many manipulation and misconception.
According to many in the world the science was begun by Greeks and was developed by the post renaissance Europe. As the same time all the great cultures like Persian, Egyptian, Chinese and
Indian had no clue regarding the science. But when we look at the history of these civilizations we can understand how developed they were in the history.
Egyptians were one of the early races before Greeks who were developed in the Science. They were well versed in anatomy (for art), astronomy and astrology, which were inseparably linked in ancient
Egypt,

biology
