Golden Age of India

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The period between 350 and 550 B.C is known as the Golden Age of India because of the large achievements Indians made in the fields of mathematics, astronomy, science, religion and philosophy. The decimal numeral system, including the concept of zero, was invented in India during this period. The peace and prosperity created under leadership of Guptas enabled the pursuit of scientific and artistic endeavors in India. The Golden Age in India came to an end when the barbaric Hunas invaded and captured most of northern India in 500 B.C. An Advancement was inoculations or otherwise known as vaccinations. It helped destroy many horrible diseases such as smallpox, influenza, malaria, cholera, hay fever, chickenpox, polio and many others. Another inovation was skin grafts. If you have a large amount of skin peeled off a part of your body, you may take small amounts from other parts of your body and stitch them into the place with very little or no skin. Many of the advancements that were invented back then, are still used today. Without them, life as we know it might not be the same.
