CURIOZITĂȚI: Invenții care au schimbat lumea – cu Alexandra Bereșteanu | EP. 39

The world would have been different without the two discoveries that laid the foundations of civilization: fire and the wheel. The first demonstrated the adaptability of the human species, which transformed a potential danger according to its needs, being in turn transformed by it in terms of appearance and rhythm of life. The second, the wheel, demonstrates that we are capable of thinking outside of natural models, remaining to this day the essence of transportation and other activities. And since such inventions cannot be contained in a single story, together with Alexandra Bereșteanu we will seek to present as many legends and historical episodes about the wheel, fire or the wheel of fire.
