was usually a household where the man was the weaver and the women prepared and spun yarn for the loom
it is interesting that they work together for these textiles because usually we see men and women have vastly different jobs back in history.
-
the textile industry was dominated by guilds, as were the other crafts. A guild was a workers' association
It is crazy to see an idea like the modern day union the same as the past especially medieval times.
-
Because of the time involved, it took many hand spinners to supply a single weaver
would that make the single weaver not effiencent? why wouldn't they focus on making a hand spinner that could make multiple and not just one.

tendency among scientists to claim that not only modern science, but science in general, was characteristic of European thought.
I wonder why it was seen as a european thought? was this because of the enlightenment?

Did the need for better navigation because of increasing sailing lead to the development of a better compass) with a magnetized needle? Or did the development of the compass lead to the growth of China's sailing fleet.
This is interesting question and I believe it can be seen and argued both ways maybe even a little of both
-
the "south-pointer" was used by travelers in China (the earliest Chinese compasses, called south-pointers, pointed south rather than north
if it uses magnets I wonder why it points south also why do we default the company pointing north?

In Europe during the Medieval Age, scholars used the Roman number system
The fact that we still use those to this day is amazing its crazy to think something like that lasted this long.

worked for forty years in Spain translating, with a team, over 70 books from Arabic originals including the works of Archimedes, Galen, Hippocrates, and Aristotle
I wonder if translators was a high royalty position because it was so important
-
Islamic physicians were able to read the works of Hippocrates, Galen and other Greek physicians
its crazy to think that they had the knowledge to translate that even that far back in history

modern science developed almost solely out of Western Europe. Technology, however, has a more eclectic past.
I wonder why in the past, why it was vast and later it contracted to the western world?
