Am Rande ist folgendes noch ganz interessant:
The mining engineer Herbert
Hoover (1874 – 1964), together with his wife, translated in his spare time the famous book "De Re Metallica"
by Agricola, from Latin to English. in 1912. In some footnotes he offered his thoughts on the history of iron, in particular
that the iron age began much earlier than is usually assumed. The iron plate of Gizeh was interpreted as a clear hint that
very early Egyptians could produce iron. And yes, H. Hoover was also the 31st President of the United States
from 1929 to 1933. Those were the good old times when American Presidents could not just read and write but even
understood foreign languages. In 2019 things have changed. |
