The fires it unleashes were once like gifts from heaven for early man. Indeed, the need to domesticate fire, to master it, to possess it, has set the pace for mankind's progress. Capable of heating, cooking, lighting, melting, forging, carrying or propelling, fire has been the instrument of every conquest. From prehistoric fires to the furnaces of the first blacksmiths, from the first steam engines to the flames of the future, this film invites us to travel back in time and explore a thousand-year-old history that made mankind the masters of fire. ▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬ Subscribe Free Documentary - Engineering Channel for free: https://bit.ly/FDEngineering Instagram: https://instagram.com/free.documentary/ Facebook: https://bit.ly/2QfRxbG Twitter: https://bit.ly/2QlwRiI ▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬ #FreeDocumentary #Documentary #fire ▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬ “Engineering: the branch of science and technology concerned with the design, building and use of engines, machines and structures.” So says the Webster definition.
