Purpose

The purpose of the investigation is to find out the influence of the humanitarian component (sacred, religious, social factors) on the origin and initial development of mining activity, the first natural and technical knowledge accumulation and application forms are considered.

Methodology

The hypothesis of the mining occurrence in the stable communities of primitive miners is considered. The ideology component of important technological inventions, created in an environment where both these phenomena were extremely close, is shown. The organizational forms of mining activity in which sacred factors played an extremely important role from archaic mining communities to medieval religious orders (in particular, Cistercians) were analyzed. The role of traditions, beliefs and professional knowledge in the formation of the special mining communities’ nature from ancient time to the Middle Ages, their heritable resistance and isolation have been revealed. The possible ways of future mining progress are described, for which the scientists’ and entrepreneurs’ substandard ideas and predictions are used.

Findings

In the medieval Christian Europe, the beginning of large-scale mining was associated with the special organizational forms of monastic orders similar to the temple ministry of miners-metallurgists of ancient civilizations. An exceptional phenomenon in the history of culture and technology remains a Cistercians Order (“white monks”), which in the XII-XIII centuries laid the foundations for industrial development of the main ore deposits of Central Europe, created a base of miners’ mining and metallurgical knowledge and cultural traditions. The cultural phenomenon and historical heritage of ancient miners require scientific study and creative use for an objective understanding of the technology history, which should be considered as an organic combination of technological and humanitarian components. Future prospects for the interior development are related to the introduction of artificial intelligence, the use of well geotechnologies, development of seabed deposits, large-scale construction development of underground space. Moreover, as in ancient times, it is the “ideological” (philosophical) component that will give preference to man over artificial intelligence and provide new technological breakthroughs for the mankind benefit.
