  1. That is neat.

  2. The oldest known boat. Boats/watercraft likely go back a long way. The first ship of multiple pieces of wood. An actual boat or ship. One place we might find a really old one is in the Black Sea. Below the Oxygen layer.

  3. I wonder if gunpowder originally came from either alchemists or magicians messing around with fast burning powders to create smoke effects.

  4. This is just stuff we know about. I suspect in early farming villages the path in front or leading to something had a name relating to it.

  5. Watercraft of some type have to go way back. I suspect that Homo Erectus was paddling around canoes of one form or another

  6. Street names are very unusual were l live. Almost everything is numbered on a grid. 100 years ago they allowed builders to name local streets. Hence multiple streets with the same name not connected in anyway. It got so bad the Post Office could not deliver the mail. Hence the city went to numbered streets east-west and avenues north-south. Names were reserved for highways, loop roads and diagonals. Now idiots want to go back to street names.

  7. Canoes are one thing. Especially dugouts made from one tree trunk. Some of which can be quite large. But what about vessels made from multiple pieces. Actual wooden ships. It's possible that very old ones could be found in the Black Sea below the depth were oxygen is basically not present. And then their are composite vessels. Watercraft made from wooden frames with skin coverings. And those made of reeds.

  8.  @appelflapdrol  Perhaps one of the oldest watercraft aside from a log could be the inflated stomach of a larger animal.
