SUMMARY:
If you think plastic surgery is a modern convenience, you’re up for a big surprise. India had it covered more than 2,500 years ago, way back in the 6th century B.C.E.!
Up until the early 18th century, India was the only source of diamonds in the world. According to the Gemological Institute of America, these precious stones were first discovered and traded in the 4th century B.C.E.
Civilized urban life as we know it dates back about 5,000 years in India. The Ancient History Encyclopedia says that, by 2600 B.C.E., dozens of towns and cities belonged to that civilization.
Speaking of better social conditions, during the Vedic period, which lasted from about 1500 to 500 B.C.E., the Indian society was probably the most equal in the known world at that time.
The concept of “zero” and the rules of its use were first invented in India at around the 7th century C.E. Before that, the idea of “nothing” hadn’t even been treated as a number.
“Shampoo” is derived from the Hindi word “champo,” which means “to massage” or “knead.” And the first mention of this “head kneading” was by Greek historian Strabo back in the 4th century B.C.E.
One of India’s greatest minds lived in the 5th century C.E. His name was Aryabhata, and he wrote a treatise on astronomy that became a foundation for many later studies.
Do you play chess? Even if you don’t, you know what it is. But did you know that its ancestor was born in India too? The ancient game was called chaturanga, and it appeared at around the 6th century C.E.
India wasn’t always a “subcontinent.” In the era of dinosaurs, over 100 million years ago, it was actually an island! It had broken off from a supercontinent and slowly but steadily traveled north, arriving to its present-day location in just about 50 million years.
