Asia,another extremely important invention was bornthe ability to produce pots.As long as 6500 years ago,people were producing pottery,mostly plain and without designs,butthe technique has changed little since.Some people say that the wheel is the single most important invention.Early examples fromabout 5000 years ago have been found in the forests of Europe.Around 1500 years

fans:that there was room for Jack(LeonardoDiCaprio)to climb aboard the floating door holding Rose(Kate Winslet)and avoid death byhypothermia(低体温)following the shipwreck in the North Atlantic.Stating that it says on page 147 of the script that Jack dies,Cameron,63,told Vanity Fair,Obviously it was an artistic choice,that the thing was just big enough to hold her,and not bigenough to hold him”.Finding it“silly,really,that were having this discussion 20 years later.”thefilmmaker pointed out that,Had he lived,the ending of the film would have been meaningless.So whether it was that,or

her hand and sinks into the depth of the Atlantic.And I personally think thatthere was plenty of room on there!Winslet agreed,telling the audience lightheartedly,He couldhave fit on it!He could have fit on that door!”She similarly said on“Jimmy Kimmel Live!”inFebruary 2016 that Jack“could have actually fitted on that bit of door”As far back as 2012,Cameron toldIGN.com,Its not a question of room,its a question ofbuoyancy.Its clear that theres really only enough buoyancy available for one person.Shescompletely out of the water on the raft,and.if he got on with her,theyd both be half in
