Silver Gemstone Jewelry History In Neolithic India
In the majority of Neolithic India, as in most parts of the world at that time, people fashioned jewelry out of seeds, feathers, berries, flowers, bones and shells. But in the north of India, in the Indus valley cities of Mohenjo ndash daro and Harappan, men and women were already wearing jewelry made of gold, silver, copper and set with precious and semi ndash precious gemstones. The Indus valley civilization, preceding the Vedic, existed from 3000 B.C. to 1500 B.C., and was built in and amongst the fertile lands of what is known today as Pakistan. The Neolithic Indus valley people like others, domesticated animals and harvested crops of cotton, sesame and barley. Contrary to the belief that India only possessed an agricultural economy in this period, evidence has been found at the Indus cities of Mohenjo ndash daro and Harappan, showing the people as having been sophisticated urbanites whose cities were bastions to art and culture.

What is Chemistry
Chemistry is the science of substances, or materials, their composition and characteristics, and the reactions which take place between those substances. It is concerned with chemical elements in their pure state and when they are combined, that is, reactions of these elements and the compounds which they form. The scientist who wants to do chemistry must first be able to understand its building blocks, substances in their pure state. Only then can the chemist use that knowledge to comprehend more complicated phenomena, and begin to perform his own experiments. Every chemical reaction can be represented with the help of atoms and molecules. It was necessary, therefore, to develop a special system of chemical symbols. Substances in their pure state, called elements, were sometimes named after the scientists who discovered them. From those names, abbreviations were derived (like O for oxygen).

What is Chemistry?
Put it simply Chemistry is the study of matter and the way matter changes. The word Chemistry comes from an ancient Egyptian word khemeia. Khemeia was an Egyptian art which occurs in various Egyptian groups that was connected to mummification. Later along the history, its practices included things such as dyeing, metallurgy and glass making. Although the ancients knew of copper, silver, gold, tin, lead, iron, carbon and sulphur, they did not know that these are elements. To them, they follow the teachings of the 5th century BC Greek thinker and philosopher Empedocles and popularized by Aristotle. To them, matter was made up of four elements ndash the earth, air, fire and water. To them this classification made sense because after all, earth is not a solid, water is not a liquid, air not a gas and fire not an energy.

Santorini - Bronze Age (3200-1100 BC)

By the first period of the Bronze Age (Halcolithic Age), the Cyclades had already developed a culture with its own distinct features. The expansion of shipping and trade between 2800 ndash 2700 BC generated the growth of ports, which became small urban centers. Besides Phylakopi on Milos, other centers were Akrotiri on Santorini, Aghia lrin on Kea, Parikia on Paros, and so on. Fortified settlements also appeared, such as at Kastri on Syros, Panormos on Naxos, Kynthos on Delos, Halandriani on Syros, and so far on. But these settlements did not last long and came to violent ends. As a result, artistic creation in the Aegean was suspended and the settlements did not evolve into city ndash states.
