So let's say you had to rebuild civilization from scratch...
November 29, 2011 9:37 PM
Looking for a t-shirt or poster about the history of technology...
So I've been trying, with no luck, to google a t-shirt/poster I remember seeing whose concept was "here is everything you need to rebuild human civilization from scratch." That sounds similar to the popular time traveler essentials shirt, but the one I'm thinking of is different.
The one I'm thinking of describes how to irrigate crops, how to make iron and bronze, how to figure out the value of pi, what the Pythagorean theorem is, etc. It's basically a brief history of every important technology. It also assumes that you're starting from literally nothing, like in the Stone Age, whereas the shirt linked above assumes you're starting from the Middle Ages.
Anybody know which t-shirt or poster I'm talking about?
