Classical Antiquity- Rome - Athens - Hadrian's Wall in Great Britain - Roman historical sites in Xanten, Germany
DocumentsKöhlerhof (charcoal burning farm)Since humanity discovered its need for metal, charcoal has been used as a means to gain these sought-after materials. As early as 4000 b.C. charcoal has been produced by letting wood burn while covered with turf or other materials, to attain an incomplete oxidation of the wood to produce charcoal. At the Köhlerhof, you can experience how the charcoal burning took place long ago. Chemistry and history! Audio courseI took this course, because history fascinates me. I used these free materials: - history of the world to 1500 BC from Richard Bulliet from Columbia University - world civilization 1500 to present from Thomas O'Brien from the University of Houston
