this age. Towns became centers of a number of activities. for every construction an architectural plan had to be drawn
in advance. These outlines were laid out with aid of strings. In India, the ancient knowledge of architecture
was called Sulve Sutra.
The impressive temples thus constructed also needed to be administered. Records of receipts and expenditures had to be
kept. This spurred te invention of script writing around 2000 B.C. Geometry, Arithmetic, astronomy, medicine and theology
developed at an impressive pace. Solar calender was developed in the Nile valley.
