What of the West and the flooring being referred to by Paul Vallely? The Colosseum in Rome which was completed in 80 AD had wooden (not earthy) flooring.

===The modern cheque===
===Moderní šek===
{{Quote||The modern cheque comes from the Arabic saqq, a written vow to pay for goods when they were delivered, to avoid money having to be transported across dangerous terrain. In the 9th century, a Muslim businessman could cash a cheque in China drawn on his bank in Baghdad.<ref name="Paul Vallely"></ref>}}
{{Quote||Moderní šek vychází z arabského saqq, psaná přísaha zaplatit za zboží, když je dodáno, aby se předešlo nutnosti transportovat peníze přes nebezpečný terén. V 9. století, muslimský byznysmen mohl proplatit šek v Číně, vypsaný v jeho bance v Bagdádu<ref name="Paul Vallely"></ref>}}


The ancient Romans are believed to have used an early form of cheque known as ''praescriptiones'' in the first century BC,<ref name="Durant">{{cite book|last=Durant|first=Will|title=Caesar and Christ : a history of Roman civilization and of Christianity from their beginnings to A.D. 325|series=The story of civilization|volume=3|year=1944|publisher=Simon & Schuster|location=New York|page=749}}</ref> and the saqq (or sakk, which developed into the modern word cheque)<ref>Melanie Wright, "[{{Reference archive|1=http://www.mirror.co.uk/sunday-mirror/2009/02/22/just-write-me-a-sakk-115875-21142872/|2=2011-02-10}} Just write me a 'sakk'..]", The Sunday Mirror, February 23, 2009</ref> system being referred to by Paul Vallely was a 3<sup>rd</sup> century pre-Islamic innovation of the Persian Sassanid Empire. Modern cheques need paper to be written, so clues to the invention of cheques can be traced following the lead of the invention of paper. Closely related is also the history of money and banking.
