Through out history, humans have enjoyed kicking a ball or something like a ball. South American Indians were known to use a light elasticized ball. However; rubber was not to be practically manufactured until a few thousand years later. \n\nAccording to historical references and legend, early balls ranged from human heads, stitched up cloth, animal and human skulls to pig or cow bladders.\n\nDuring the Ts'in and Han Dynasties (255 BC-220 AD), the Chinese played 'tsu chu', in which animal-skin balls were dribbled through gaps in a net stretched between two poles. Certain ancient Egyptian rites are said by historians to have similarities with football, and both the ancient Greeks and Romans also played a game that entailed carrying and kicking a ball.\n\nAccording to pre-medieval legend, an entire village would kick a skull along a path to a nearby village square.  The opposing village would in turn attempt to kick the skull to the first village's square.  Wow, that probably caused more riots than in modern soccer games. \n\nA Medieval custom was to take pig bladders used from live stock killed in preparation for winter sustenance and inflate them. They would play a game using their feet and hands to keep the "ball" in the air. Sounds like hacky sack to me.\n\nThe animal bladder balls were eventually covered with leather for better shape retention.

In 1017 A.D., at the behest of Sultan Mahmud of Persia, Alberuni (a.k.a. Al-Biruni) traveled to India to learn about the Hindus, "and to discuss with them questions of religion, science, and literature, and the very basis of their civilization". He remained in India for thirteen years, studying, and exploring.\n\nAlberuni's scholarly work has not gotten the great recognition it deserves. Not for nearly eight hundred years would any other writer match Alberuni's profound understanding of almost all aspects of Indian life [1].\n\nAlberuni was a true genius -- he was renowned as a mathematician, and an astronomer prior to his India mission -- and has successfully captured the the time and meaning of India in his writings. For instance he gives the Hindu's concept of God in Chapter II of his Tarikh al-Hind (History of India) which is astonishingly faithful to the complex definitions the Hindus believe in.\n\nAlberuni not only studied Sanskrit literature, but also met many a Indian mathematicians and philosophers. It is rather ironic that some of the the most comprehensive study of India of the middle ages is performed by an Islamic scholar. In his notes we not only find elaborate descriptions of travel tales, but also discussions of divinity, literature, and mathematical equations.

A Hungarian journalist named Laszlo Biro invented the first ballpoint pen in 1938. Biro had noticed that the type of ink used in newspaper printing dried quickly, leaving the paper dry and smudge-free. He decided to create a pen using the same type of ink. The thicker ink would not flow from a regular pen nib and Biro had to devise a new type of point. He did so by fitting his pen with a tiny ball bearing in its tip. As the pen moved along the paper, the ball rotated picking up ink from the ink cartridge and leaving it on the paper.

yup.\n18 century is 1700's\n\nbtw it was found by the chinese earlier than that\n\nGunpowder is considered one of the Four Great Inventions of the Chinese, though in fact it is not known whether it was first invented in China.\n\nThe first type of gunpowder was black powder. Neither its inventors nor exact date of creation is known. Historians of various cultures have postulated that it was invented between the seventh or ninth centuries by either the Chinese or the Arabs. In the West, Roger Bacon was the first to describe the formula for gunpowder on the ground of a passage in his On Marvelous Power of Art and Nature in 1242, leading many in the ensuing centuries to the mistaken belief that Bacon invented gunpowder -- even though Bacon himself mentioned that gunpowder was known in diverse places (see Opus tertium, by order of Pope Clement IV in 1266). It is also possible that black powder was invented independently by more than one culture at around the same time. As James Partington states in A History of Greek Fire and Gunpowder:\n\n    "Gunpowder is not, of course, an 'invention' in the modern sense, the product of a single time and place; no individual's name can be attached to it, nor can that of any single nation or region. Fire is one of the primordial forces of nature, and incendiary weapons have had a place in armies' toolkits for almost as long as civilized states have made war."\n\nRegardless of origin, gunpowder was the first chemical propellant and the first explosive recorded in history.\n\nThe Arabs are generally credited with being the first to purify gunpowder to contain almost no sodium nitrate (only potassium nitrate) and to have a high enough quality to use effectively as a combat explosive. By the 15th century they had invented both a rocket and torpedo, both spear-tipped. The spear would lodge into a boat or other large surface and then the explosives would detonate as the propellant burned out.\n\nOne of the flaws of black powder in its original form was its tendency to "demix" under the effects of vibration, e.g. in the knapsack of a marching soldier. The component ingredients would separate, and the powder sample poured into a gun would not have the correct proportions. The same volume of powder, depending on its vibration history and whether it was sampled from the top or bottom of the powder container, could either fizzle or burst the gun barrel. "Corning" is the process that prevented demixing and made black powder far more reliable. It was invented in Europe around the fifteenth century, and involves forcing damp powder through a sieve to form it into granules. Each granule contains a mixture of the three ingredients with nearly optimum proportions.

See this please a little::::\n\nThe first reference to cricket being played is thought to be in 1300, between Prince Edward and his friend Piers Gaveston and the first recorded match took place at Coxheath in Kent in 1646. The first match between counties on 29th June 1709, when Surrey played Kent at Dartford Brent. \n\nThe earliest known cricket photographs were taken in 1857, by Roger Fenton at the Artillery Ground, when the Royal Artillery played Hunsdonbury. \n\nAs well as shepherds' crooks, early bats were clubs and sticks. These gave way to long, thin battes, which looked a bit like straightened-out hockey sticks, because the ball was bowled under-arm, and the batters swung their bats like clubs!!\n\nAnd this too....:::\n\n1788 First revision of the Laws of Cricket by MCC.\n1794 First recorded inter-schools match: Charterhouse v Westminster.\n1795 First recorded case of a dismissal “leg before wicket”.\n1806 First Gentlemen v Players match at Lord’s.\n1807 First mention of “straight-armed” (i.e. round-arm) bowling: by John Willes of Kent.\n1809 Thomas Lord’s second ground opened at North Bank, St John’s Wood.\n1811 First recorded women’s county match: Surrey v Hampshire at Ball’s Pond, London.\n1814 Lord’s third ground opened on its present site, also in St John’s Wood.\n1827 First Oxford v Cambridge match, at Lord’s.

current thought approximate its origin to India circa 1500 B.C. by a well known mathematician named Aryabhata. \n\nthe invention of zero is an important development in human abstract thought because the counting system was initially created to "count" things and not "nothing".  \n\ni am pretty sure it was also concieved independently by other cultures as well but written and archeological evidence at present best support the India origin.\n\ncheck wikipedia for "zero".

The ancient India astronomer Brahmagupta is credited with having put forth the concept of zero for the first time: Brahmagupta is said to have been born the year 598 A.D. at Bhillamala (today's Bhinmal ) in Gujarat, Western India.\n\nIt is possible that like the technique of algebra; the concept of zero also reached the west through the Arabs. In ancient India the terms used to describe zero included Pujyam, Shunyam, Bindu the concept of a void or blank was termed as Shukla and Shubra. The Arabs refer to the zero as Siphra or Sifr from which we have the English terms Cipher or Cypher. In English the term Cipher connotes zero or any Arabic numeral. Thus it is evident that the term Cipher is derived from the Arabic Sifr which in turn is quite close to the Sanskrit term Shubra.
