Following on from our previous list Top 10 Ancient Inventions You Think Are Modern , we have put together this list. It includes items that were omitted from the first but are still fascinating. Most of the things found here are considered by most to have come from the modern world (or the medieval world at the earliest) but all pre-date the birth of Christ.

What is surprising is how many of the things that we use every day have been in use by humans for thousands of years. This list of ten things all predate the birth of Christ and they are all things that we are familiar with if not regular users of. http://listverse.com/2009/03/29/top-10-ancient-inventions-you-think-are-modern/
