In this period, there have been important developments in both the East and the Western world. It is even thought that the first industrial revolution took place in the middle Ages. One of the area¡¯s leading the industrial revolution is the developments in the field of energy. As is known, science and technology have caused important developments and changes that will affect world history in the century that we live. The technology that affects life all over the world has begun to solve many problems of the increasing world population. This situation is a turning point for both the East and the Western world. The development of technology, which has a major role in reaching the present level of civilization in the world, has also been fast, although it has been based on old times. The needs and conditions of that period are of great importance in the acceleration of this development. The top of the technological developments related to energy resources are mills. If we diversify, water mills are the most used. This technology is a good example of engineering. The Romans had begun to use the water wheels seriously. In the following period, Roman engineers developed these mills further. They were also used in different fields such as mills, beating mines, blowing bellows. In this case, the direction of the force had to be changed. Generally, water energy had a significant impact on the middle Ages society and economy. However, hydraulic engineering in the Near East is more developed than in Europe; but the water wheel did not play a more important role than in Europe. The reason is that it needs long flowing rivers. However, these mills began to be seen as a kind of mechanical slaves or robots that served their masters. Water power, as it is understood, was of great importance both in the Near East and in Europe. Providing the opportunity to benefit from water power in the middle Ages in such areas has enabled the development of industry and trade in parallel. The mills had a characteristic that influenced the economy both in the Near East and in Europe. In time, the Muslim influence in Europe was reflected in modern Spain. Because of this, many words related to agriculture and irrigation are of Arab origin. In this case, we are attracting our attention to the large irrigation systems that provide more technological and sociological interest in Near East. Another mill type is windmills.
