"...a good starting place...to learn about humanities most primitive
survival skills." -NATURAL HISTORY
MAGAZINE, Oct.1999
Welcome to The History and Primitive Technology Page.
Primitive is defined as "of or pertaining to an earliest
or original stage or state." It does not mean less intelligent, or less
creative, or less inventive. On the contrary, the things you will read
about at this site will show how wonderfully creative, and extremely patient
these early people were. You will be impressed with an amazing machine
that was used as a fire-starter. It uses a principle that will be familiar
to those who know about diesel engines. You will learn about how extraordinarily
beautiful tools can be made from stone, many with edges that are sharper
than our finest surgical steel blades.
This is the place to explore, discuss, and exchange information
on matters pertaining to history from the stone-age to the turn of the
century. It is also intended to be a place that will inspire people who
come here to connect again with the world in a purer sense, by experiencing
this ancient inventiveness and creativity for themselves.
So step inside...you may find out what those Nazca lines
really are. Or find out what it would take to tan a piece of leather, or
to be an Aztec who can pierce conquestador armor with a powerful stone-age
dart thrower. Included also will be a section on more recent historical
mysteries and discussions.
I will be updating here periodically so check back once
in a while to see if something new has come up. Also if you want to respond
to something you find, feel free to e-mail me. It may be good enough to
end up on this page.
