Metal,especially iron,was very valuable in ancient times.Rulers used it for weapons,weights,coin manufacturing,and monuments.Iron usually starts as iron ore,a mixture of rock and metal.The iron is smelted by crushing the ore and heating it to a very high temperature.Only charcoal burned hot enough to smelt iron.India's jungles have both iron ore and lots of trees to make charcoal.
Once a blacksmith smelted the iron,he hammered it into sheets or bars that could later be shaped into swords,weights,or seals.When heating iron with charcoal,carbon fuses with the iron and makes an even harder metal called steel.Because steel is so hard,it could be used to stamp other,softer metals like gold and silver.The Mauryan government soon established mints where steel stamps called punches stamped royal symbols on pieces of silver,turning them into coins.
So many of the problems that the people of South Asia tried to solve－how to have healthy,happy life,where we are in the universe,how to keep track of time and money－are the same problems that we try to solve today.And,despite our huge technological advantages,many of their answers continue to be help us thousands of years later.Just think what the doctors who developed Ayurveda and brilliants scientists like Aryabhate might have discovered if they'd had computers!
