Hi all , just been reading the the book, LUCRETIUS, ON THE NATURE OF THINGS. 100- 50 BC. There's mention of the colour purple, QUOTE:"The Orient's richest robes and gleaming silks of Meliboean purple, Dyed with the hues of shells of Thessaly ". A book translated by Sir Ronald Melville, Printed by Oxford World's Classics. 1999.
It was said by some here that that colour wasnt invented till much later, it's posted here for the record that it was around, BC, how much before ??
It's also mentioned that India as well as the Orient were traded with.
Atoms , were understood to exist, by postulation and observation . So too were sound waves. Interesting!
The four fundamental elements ,fire, air , water, earth as the basic building blocks has been rebuked , and Atoms with spaces between has been raised.
Interfering religous beliefs are blamed for the confusions amongst the scholars and the populace
There sure seems like a pendulum effect in the history of the species.
