How did the ancient civilizations used to make ice?
In: Technology
According to Wikipedia [here](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ice_trade#Pre-19th_century_methods), before the 1800’s people would have “ice houses” where they’d store winter ice for use in summer. Ice was mostly a novelty for rich people.
In the 1800’s, shipping ice around the world became a big business. Which collapsed in the 1900’s, when artificial refrigeration became possible.
