00:00:02
civilizations were primitive and very
00:00:03
far advanced in technology,
00:00:05
using exclusively outdated
00:00:08
inventions today, but this is a
00:00:10
deep misconception; in fact,
00:00:12
many modern technologies were
00:00:14
created by ancient people, vending
00:00:17
machines, automatically opening
00:00:19
doors, the first robots and much more were
00:00:22
invented by ancient peoples our ancestors
00:00:24
created technologies that were 1,000 years
00:00:26
ahead of their time, they built
00:00:29
monuments, our grandiose projects,
00:00:31
amazing warships no
00:00:34
worse than modern aircraft carriers, they had
00:00:36
mechanics that could put new technologies to shame, the
00:00:39
ancient people were far from
00:00:41
primitive Many of their discoveries and
00:00:43
inventions are still relevant and we are
00:00:45
them we use Today I will tell you
00:00:47
about the most amazing things created by
00:00:50
our very distant ancestors 2,000 years
00:00:53
ago,
00:00:54
let's start with a grandiose court 2,200 years
00:00:58
ago the Egyptian round Ptolemy 4
00:01:01
built an incredibly huge
00:01:04
warship that is related to
00:01:05
modern aircraft carriers, just the
00:01:07
appearance of the ship, given its size,
00:01:10
could bring an enemy horrifying 130 meters
00:01:13
long 18 wide height was the size of a
00:01:16
six-story building 22 meters Imagine
00:01:19
what would happen if you used a ship
00:01:21
the size of a football field in ancient
00:01:24
times the deterrent factor would be
00:01:26
unimaginable this ship was called
00:01:28
tessera contera from ancient Greek
00:01:31
forty-row probability due to the number of
00:01:33
rowers in each the oar compartment of this
00:01:36
ship holds a number of records; it
00:01:38
accommodated the most soldiers; it was
00:01:40
the largest catamaran and also the
00:01:42
largest oared ship in history.
00:01:44
The crew included more than 4,000 mushrooms and 400
00:01:48
sailors; the deck housed infantry in the
00:01:50
amount of
00:01:51
2,850 soldiers; the tessera contera was a miracle of
00:01:55
technology; the 40-row boat is an incredible
00:01:58
achievement engineering, including an
00:02:00
outstanding example of ancient
00:02:01
shipbuilding, the role of this ship
00:02:04
was to demonstrate the power and
00:02:06
wealth of Egypt as well as the military
00:02:08
potential of its Army and Navy, but how
00:02:11
the Egyptians set in motion such a
00:02:13
giant weighing almost 4 thousand tons,
00:02:16
historians argue a lot about
00:02:19
how such a huge number the rowers on
00:02:21
board could work harmoniously according to one
00:02:23
of the versions. The oars were of different lengths and
00:02:25
placed at different angles. If
00:02:27
the ship could really be
00:02:29
propelled by such a huge manpower, then
00:02:31
it was one of the most formidable weapons of the
00:02:33
Ancient world, but imagine what it was like for the
00:02:35
oarsmen, 4,000 people were squeezed in
00:02:39
tight compartments it was hard labor
00:02:41
that was both physically and mentally exhausting.
00:02:43
Historians were convinced that the tessera
00:02:46
contera was exclusively a transport
00:02:48
ship and served only to transport
00:02:49
troops. However, new evidence suggests
00:02:52
that it may have performed a
00:02:54
more lethal function, namely, it could be
00:02:57
used as an offensive weapon
00:02:58
on the ship there were 7 massive
00:03:01
bars with metal tips
00:03:03
that acted as rams of
00:03:06
incredible power; many harbors were
00:03:08
protected by chains and if the rams
00:03:11
were located at different heights, this was a
00:03:13
very good way to break through the
00:03:15
defense system and the harbor was unprotected,
00:03:18
and imagine what it would be like with the force of 4000
00:03:21
mushrooms hitting the ram directly into
00:03:23
the enemy a ship of such power could destroy
00:03:25
ships into pieces; also historians believe
00:03:28
that on the deck of the ship there could be
00:03:30
giant catapults that fired
00:03:31
over long distances, but many
00:03:33
researchers are convinced that this ship
00:03:35
was created rather only for tailing,
00:03:37
to show off to the people so that the
00:03:40
enemies would be afraid and the people of Egypt
00:03:42
would admire the greatness of their state
00:03:44
many say that the
00:03:47
ship was of little practical use because it
00:03:49
was too labor-intensive to move it, be that as it
00:03:51
may, this ship was a masterpiece of the
00:03:53
Ancient World and a true example of
00:03:55
how Engineering makes impossible
00:03:58
things possible;
00:04:01
such ships have never been built again. Would you like to

00:04:53
2000 years ago Caligula The craziest
00:04:56
of the Roman emperors wished for
00:04:58
the impossible, by order, they built two
00:05:01
ships of such size, luxury
00:05:03
technical equipment and unusual
00:05:05
appearance that they easily outperform
00:05:08
modern ships, how the frightened
00:05:10
engineer Caligula managed to realize it
00:05:12
crazy fantasies brought to life and create
00:05:14
such skillful ships here on Lake
00:05:17
Nemi, 30 km from Rome,
00:05:20
two incredible largest ships
00:05:23
among those preserved from ancient times were raised from the bottom, this
00:05:25
was one of the greatest finds of
00:05:26
antiquity, these incredible ships
00:05:28
lay at the bottom for 2000 years only in the
00:05:31
twenties years of the 20th century, the
00:05:33
labor-intensive process of extracting debris
00:05:35
from the bottom began, the work lasted 5 years to
00:05:38
remove the ships, water from the lake was
00:05:40
pumped into the surrounding valley, ancient ships the
00:05:42
size of American
00:05:44
football fields were perfectly preserved for them
00:05:47
near the lake, a special
00:05:48
huge museum was built for them. Caligula admired things
00:05:51
Beyond the limits of the possible, these his two ships
00:05:54
were Truly extraordinary the length of
00:05:56
both ships was about 75 meters
00:05:59
to 30 meters in width alone this is
00:06:01
impressive not to mention the fact that the inside
00:06:03
was full of unusual details that
00:06:06
seemed impossible for ancient ships
00:06:08
one of the boats was a
00:06:10
huge structure decorated with
00:06:12
marble with alabaster baths
00:06:14
running water with hot and cold water, a
00:06:16
mosaic floor heating system. It was a
00:06:20
real floating palace. The second boat
00:06:23
was a floating temple.
00:06:25
The creation of such progressive ships
00:06:27
showed the ability of the ancient Romans in
00:06:29
building ships. Building a ship
00:06:31
usually begins with the skeleton, but the Romans
00:06:33
somehow began construction
00:06:35
right from the hull, they held together huge
00:06:37
details using the socket and tenon method are now
00:06:40
such jewelry technologies are not
00:06:42
used this technology disappeared
00:06:44
with the fall of Rome allowed the creation of
00:06:46
precise and independent designs it
00:06:49
was proof of Roman power
00:06:51
Caligula boats were somewhat reminiscent of Disneyland they
00:06:54
were built to amaze their design should have
00:06:56
said that they were created by the Lord of
00:06:59
the World Ligula Not only did he build
00:07:01
incredible ships, he used them
00:07:03
for the cult of his own
00:07:05
divinity in his floating temple, the emperor
00:07:08
could demand anything from the
00:07:10
terrified guests, unfortunately this
00:07:12
greatest archaeological discovery
00:07:14
disappeared overnight in 1944 during the
00:07:18
Second World War, the museum in which the
00:07:19
ships were located was burned
00:07:22
nevertheless, the fact remains that Emperor
00:07:24
Caligula created the greatest ships of
00:07:26
antiquity; they were distinguished not only by their
00:07:28
size and luxury, but also by amazing
00:07:30
technologies and could easily be compared
00:07:32
with modern ships; all this proves
00:07:34
that even in the ancient world nothing was
00:07:37
impossible and the following story
00:07:39
clearly shows this 2000 years ago ago the army of
00:07:42
Rome was faced with a task
00:07:44
that seemed impossible to complete; they needed to
00:07:46
capture an impregnable high
00:07:48
fortress that was located right on a
00:07:50
mountain in the Judean desert at that time the
00:07:52
Roman Empire was the largest in the
00:07:54
world; nothing could resist the
00:07:56
power of Rome until one day they
00:07:58
stood in their way the fortress of Masada, located on a mountain in
00:08:00
Israel, the fortress was
00:08:03
under the control of Jewish rebels of about a
00:08:05
thousand people. They thought that they could
00:08:07
repel the onslaught of the Scrimlens.
00:08:10
About 10 thousand Roman soldiers were sent to Masada. At
00:08:13
first they tried to take the fortress in a
00:08:15
long siege, surrounding the mountain with a wall. But
00:08:18
after some time they realized that the
00:08:19
besieged had huge reserves. food and water
00:08:22
The Romans realized that the fortress would have to be
00:08:24
taken by force Because it was
00:08:26
difficult for them to deliver provisions for their
00:08:28
army through the desert, the Romans had to
00:08:31
go up, make a hole in the wall
00:08:33
and storm, but how could they climb the
00:08:36
mountain of the fortress there were narrow paths but the
00:08:38
Soldiers could climb along them could the
00:08:40
defenders one by one easily throw
00:08:43
them down when it seemed that it was
00:08:45
impossible to conquer this mountain The Romans did something
00:08:47
that is hard to believe they began
00:08:49
to build their own mountain Well, to be
00:08:52
more precise, the embankment The Romans
00:08:54
showed miracles of engineering on
00:08:57
three sides the height of the plateau on which it
00:08:58
is located 6 about 120 meters and only on the
00:09:01
Western side the height is about
00:09:03
70 meters there and it was decided to build an
00:09:06
embankment; they were faced with a huge
00:09:08
task. This is not easy even in our time
00:09:10
when they use powerful equipment to transport earth stones.
00:09:12
The Romans
00:09:14
did everything by hand, at first they
00:09:16
dug the earth armed with shovels and picks it
00:09:19
was put into baskets that were carried
00:09:21
on shoulders or transported on mules and
00:09:23
carts; this is the same mound that the
00:09:26
Romans made. More precisely, what
00:09:28
was left of it; the builders of the mountain were under
00:09:30
fire from the rebels but continued to build
00:09:33
their mountain; the rebels underestimated the
00:09:35
determination of the Romans who did not want to
00:09:37
give in to either man or nature the length of the
00:09:40
embankment was about 200 meters, the height was
00:09:43
73 meters and the angle of inclination was 20 degrees. This is
00:09:47
truly a miracle of engineering art.
00:09:49
Every day the besieged saw how the embankment was
00:09:51
getting higher and higher, they began
00:09:54
to understand that this was their end after two
00:09:56
months, at first the construction of the embankment was
00:09:59
ready, now they could begin the assault
00:10:01
to crush the walls of the fortress,
00:10:02
another miracle of engineering was needed.
00:10:05
The Romans built just such an
00:10:07
armored tower, it was called
00:10:09
elepolis. With the help of such towers, 2300 years
00:10:13
ago the Greek city of Rhodas eleopolis was taken, a
00:10:16
wonderful example of engineering
00:10:19
skill, this is the largest siege tower
00:10:21
of antiquity, its height is just over 40 m for
00:10:24
moving the tower the well-coordinated
00:10:27
work of thousands of people was required at the Fortress Wall,
00:10:29
the tower turned into a formidable machine of
00:10:31
death when such a machine of hell slowly
00:10:34
approached the city, its mere appearance
00:10:36
terrified the enemies the towers were built of
00:10:39
wood so that they could not be set on fire,
00:10:41
they were sheathed with iron sheets, as
00:10:43
a result, most of the shells simply
00:10:45
bounced off inside the tower there was a wall of
00:10:48
bit guns and ballistas, the Romans
00:10:50
began to storm hundreds of soldiers,
00:10:52
they dragged the tower up, the besieged realized
00:10:55
that they had nowhere to run, the situation
00:10:57
was hopeless, and they stayed. The Romans made a
00:11:00
hole in the wall, set fire to the
00:11:02
inner wooden wall and burst
00:11:04
into the fortress, ready for battle, but at the top
00:11:07
no one helped them no
00:11:08
resistance bursting into Massada, the
00:11:11
Romans saw a terrible picture, all the
00:11:13
rebels committed suicide,
00:11:14
preferring death to slavery,
00:11:17
only two women and five
00:11:19
children remained alive. The Romans won, but the besieged
00:11:21
deprived them of triumph and the joy of Victory,
00:11:24
nevertheless, this story shows that the
00:11:25
ancient Romans overcame all the
00:11:27
obstacles facing them On the way,
00:11:29
demonstrating outstanding skill, they
00:11:32
moved mountains and took impregnable
00:11:35
fortresses. The ancient Romans built much
00:11:37
more impressive things than an embankment,
00:11:39
for example, without this structure, Rome
00:11:42
would never have become a powerful
00:11:43
power; it resembles a bridge. But this is
00:11:46
not it at all. Of all the achievements of Roman
00:11:48
engineers, none is so insignificant. changed
00:11:51
life how This multi-kilometer
00:11:53
structure is called an aqueduct and
00:11:56
serves to deliver water. They were the first to
00:11:58
invent an aqueduct, but their construction
00:12:00
reached a completely different level. When
00:12:03
creating an aqueduct,
00:12:04
many innovations were used for the Ancient world.
00:12:07
The main secret of the Roman construction of the new.
00:12:08
Revolutionary material, it is easy to
00:12:11
mold and hardens. becomes
00:12:13
hard like a Rock this is concrete concrete itself
00:12:16
appeared even before Rome But it was the Romans
00:12:19
who became truly high-quality
00:12:21
the main ingredient of Roman concrete was
00:12:23
volcanic Ash path salad it made
00:12:26
concrete incredibly strong Rome was surrounded by 50
00:12:29
volcanoes Therefore there were no problems with supplies
00:12:31
aqueducts were laid through the mountains
00:12:33
and the riverbeds, the implementation of the project
00:12:35
required an extraordinary mind because
00:12:38
the Romans had to lay their
00:12:39
acriduci so that they would
00:12:41
lower as they approached the city. That is,
00:12:43
at an angle and it should have been
00:12:45
only a few centimeters for every 30
00:12:47
meters, if you take it steeper, the water will
00:12:49
overflow if closer to
00:12:52
the horizontal, the aqueduct would dry up; an
00:12:54
accurate calculation was needed; the slope had to be
00:12:56
observed at all costs,
00:12:58
regardless of the situation; for example, the Pondughar aqueduct,
00:13:01
with a length of about 50 kilometers,
00:13:03
manages to maintain the slope with a difference
00:13:06
in height at both ends of only 15
00:13:08
meters. This is an example of the perfection of Roman
00:13:11
engineering art, the aqueduct is powered
00:13:13
by gravity. However,
00:13:15
the Romans not only used
00:13:17
Gravity, but sometimes also overcame it. In the
00:13:20
presence of uneven terrain, they
00:13:22
had to direct the water upward and they
00:13:24
solved this problem. Although it would seem
00:13:27
impossible, but the Romans found an
00:13:28
ingenious engineering solution. They
00:13:31
used a curved pipe, the so-
00:13:33
called back siphon filling the pipe the
00:13:35
water is leveled if one end of the
00:13:37
curved pipe below the water
00:13:39
pours out of it using this trick
00:13:41
water can flow upward on this model
00:13:44
you can see how it worked so that water
00:13:46
flowed in a constant stream from high mountains
00:13:48
Roman engineers dug inclined tunnels into them
00:13:51
when the pipes reached
00:13:52
the lowlands they had to be raised with
00:13:54
the help of stone walls if they were higher than
00:13:57
two meters from the ground the Romans saved
00:13:59
separate material without reducing the
00:14:01
strength they improved the ancient
00:14:03
invention of the arch the arch made
00:14:05
a revolution in ancient architecture allowing them to
00:14:08
build on a scale that had never been dreamed of before
00:14:10
arches were built around temporary
00:14:12
wooden frame that held the
00:14:14
stones in place until the
00:14:17
Keystone held the structure together it
00:14:19
evenly distributed the weight allowing
00:14:21
several more rows of blocks to be laid on top
00:14:23
the arches became a step forward
00:14:25
compared to a conventional wall in
00:14:27
terms of efficiency and strength.
00:14:29
Naturally, to build an arch
00:14:31
it requires less materials, but they are
00:14:33
stable so that you aqueducts were not placed on them; they
00:14:35
were covered with a roof. But if you
00:14:38
remove it, you can see the flow of water; the current
00:14:40
city used to deliver water to the capital;
00:14:42
Roman engineers laid a
00:14:44
72 km long aqueduct in the countryside; this is
00:14:47
far from a record; some Roman
00:14:49
aqueducts reached more than a hundred
00:14:51
kilometers; the whole of Rome was dotted with such
00:14:53
water arteries, many Roman
00:14:55
aqueducts turned out to be so strong and
00:14:58
durable that some were
00:14:59
used for as long as one and a half thousand years
00:15:01
until the New Age, this is what the Viduk
00:15:04
was called aquaclaudia, by modern
00:15:06
standards the cost of its creation would have been
00:15:08
more than 8 billion dollars
00:15:10
construction lasted 14 years,
00:15:13
400 thousand stone blocks were used
00:15:15
170 thousand cubic meters of concrete through Roman
00:15:19
aqueducts a million
00:15:21
cubic meters of water flowed per day there was enough for 1300
00:15:24
fountains 900 baths and 144 public
00:15:27
toilets fresh fresh water is necessary
00:15:29
for health hygiene for enterprises for
00:15:32
farms without it They
00:15:34
would never have become such a powerful power
00:15:36
water transportation has become one of the
00:15:38
greatest achievements, the city with an established
00:15:41
water supply very quickly began to
00:15:43
flourish, simply brilliant technology, the
00:15:46
total length of the aqueducts built by
00:15:48
the Romans was about 10 thousand kilometers, in the
00:15:51
end there were
00:15:52
so many aqueducts and the water they delivered that the water
00:15:55
was sent not only to the gardens and villas
00:15:57
of the rich or to the imperial palaces and to the
00:15:59
houses of ordinary people Romans by the second century
00:16:01
Almost every house in Rome had running water
00:16:04
and this ancient times What is surprising is that
00:16:06
even a thousand years later in the
00:16:08
Middle Ages this was not the case. The aqueducts of
00:16:10
Rome were the most ambitious project
00:16:12
conceived 2000 years ago, people
00:16:15
coming to Rome for the first time even before reaching the city,
00:16:17
seeing such a structure they were in awe,
00:16:19
the power of Rome was promoted,
00:16:22
aqueducts led to the emergence of a
00:16:24
new urban culture with a constant
00:16:26
source of water, a million inhabitants of Rome
00:16:28
could live in comfort and in cleanliness. The
00:16:29
Romans were much cleaner than other
00:16:32
peoples, including because of this they considered
00:16:34
themselves different from everyone else at the time.
00:16:37
there was so much water that a
00:16:39
million people could live in this city; it was the
00:16:41
most advanced city in the world. If you were
00:16:45
sent today to Ancient Rome 2000
00:16:47
years ago, you would easily confuse it with a
00:16:50
modern metropolis. Because before
00:16:52
your eyes would appear a
00:16:53
million-plus city in which there were
00:16:55
apartment buildings with a height of 6 floors
00:16:58
that could accommodate up to 80 residents.
00:17:02
50 tons of waste were discharged through sewers under the roads per day. There were
00:17:05
theaters, amphitheaters, 30 libraries, taverns,
00:17:08
snack bars, there were even
00:17:10
fast food establishments, hairdressers,
00:17:12
sports complexes, schools, hippodromes, gardens,
00:17:14
parks, forums, markets, stadiums, temples,
00:17:18
luxurious baths. more precisely, the thermal baths in which,
00:17:21
in addition to bathing and swimming in the pool, you
00:17:22
could get hair removal and massage services. The
00:17:25
city was dotted with roads. The houses had
00:17:27
running water in rich houses, even hot
00:17:30
water was available; police and fire protection.
00:17:32
Postal service Rome became the world's first
00:17:35
metropolis; today, more than half of
00:17:37
us live in cities. and all these cities
00:17:39
were created in the image and likeness of Ancient
00:17:41
Rome. But if the listed technical
00:17:44
achievements of antiquity do not impress you,
00:17:45
then the following will make you truly
00:17:48
admire the ancient world. We were taught that
00:17:50
factories and factories appeared in the era of the
00:17:52
Industrial Revolution, that before that there were
00:17:54
only handicrafts, in fact,
00:17:57
nothing so these strange ones are located in the
00:18:00
south of France in Barbegal near
00:18:03
Arles, this is a Roman aqueduct unlike
00:18:05
any other. The fact is that the water from
00:18:07
this aqueduct was used for special
00:18:09
purposes, there were 16 mills that
00:18:12
worked from the water supplied by the aqueduct,
00:18:14
huge water-lifting wheels analogues of
00:18:17
this production with hydroelectric
00:18:19
systems can only be found today
00:18:21
It was a colossal project The Romans
00:18:24
built the entire hillside with mills a
00:18:26
grandiose production many
00:18:28
technical difficulties but they
00:18:30
succeeded the water-lifting wheel was invented by the
00:18:33
ancient Greeks but the ancient Romans in
00:18:35
barbegli created something unprecedented
00:18:37
super factory of the second century there
00:18:40
were no more like it although the water-lifting wheel
00:18:43
continued to be used until the advent of
00:18:44
steam engines, the huge factory in
00:18:47
Barbegali was much more advanced and
00:18:49
highly efficient than subsequent
00:18:51
projects with the water-lifting wheel, usually the
00:18:54
mill wheel was driven by
00:18:56
water entering it from below or
00:18:58
in the middle, water flowed from above, which
00:19:01
greatly increased the efficiency of the
00:19:03
wheel the water was taken tens of
00:19:04
kilometers from the mills, carried through a
00:19:07
tunnel in the mountain and then
00:19:09
sent through an aqueduct to 16 wheels along the slope
00:19:11
it was a grandiose production.
00:19:13
Four and a
00:19:15
half tons of flour were produced here every day. Scientists learned a lot about the
00:19:18
barbegal mills only
00:19:20
in recent decades. I
00:19:23
couldn’t imagine that such a large
00:19:25
Industrial complex could exist in the
00:19:26
ancient world; in fact, this is an industrial
00:19:29
revolution 16 centuries before the real
00:19:31
Industrial Revolution; the present
00:19:34
ancient Roman factory built 2000
00:19:36
years ago; it’s not for nothing that it is called the
00:19:38
largest mechanized
00:19:40
production of the Ancient world. But in
00:19:42
fact, plants and factories with the conveyor belt
00:19:44
appeared a thousand years before these miles
00:19:47
among the ancient Egyptians 3200 years ago, Egypt
00:19:51
urgently needed a huge number of
00:19:52
chariots for the upcoming battle of
00:19:55
Kadesh with the army of the Hittite kingdom of
00:19:57
the greatest in history using
00:20:00
chariots, the chariots of the ancient Egyptians were
00:20:03
formidable machines on the battlefield, they had to be
00:20:05
produced in large quantities and
00:20:07
Pharaoh Ramses the second built a factory in the
00:20:10
Nile Delta that produced these same
00:20:12
chariots. It was like a modern
00:20:14
factory for the production of tanks. The chariots were
00:20:16
assembled on an assembly line. They say that
00:20:18
Henry Ford created an assembly line in the 20th century, but
00:20:21
no, 3000 years ago the Egyptians did the
00:20:24
same thing with this. the conveyor belt produced
00:20:26
chariot after chariot at the tank
00:20:28
factory, all the parts are assembled together,
00:20:30
each was developed by a group of specialists, the
00:20:32
same thing happened at the factory of the
00:20:34
ancient Egyptians, everything was assembled and the fighting
00:20:37
vehicle was ready, Ramses the Second
00:20:39
needed thousands of chariots, his name was
00:20:41
provided by him, the battle with the army of the
00:20:43
Hittite kingdom took place in the desert
00:20:45
on territory of modern Syria, on both
00:20:47
sides there are thousands of chariots. This is an
00:20:49
unprecedented number. I can’t even
00:20:52
believe that such production
00:20:53
existed as much as 3000 years ago, but they
00:20:56
existed. The conveyor itself as a mechanism
00:20:58
was present not in Ancient Egypt itself, but also in
00:21:00
ancient Mesopotamia, in Ancient China and
00:21:03
India, but let’s return to ancient Rome,
00:21:05
which created many grandiose
00:21:06
industrial facilities, one of the most
00:21:08
incredible of them was located here at the
00:21:11
mine of the Spanish river Rio Tinto, the Romans were
00:21:14
brought here by the search for copper and silver,
00:21:16
metals were mined here 5000 years
00:21:18
ago, but under the Romans the mine became the
00:21:20
largest mining enterprise
00:21:22
in the entire Ancient world and this mine
00:21:25
has A terrible secret that he kept for
00:21:27
2000 years. In 1919, a
00:21:31
huge wooden wheel was found here; it lay
00:21:34
deep underground. It turned out that the wheel was
00:21:36
almost 2000 years old, with the help of wheels
00:21:39
they raised water to the surface so that the mine did
00:21:41
not flood. Deep underground, someone
00:21:43
had to turn the wheel as a rule.
00:21:45
huge wheels were turned by the flow
00:21:48
of water, but at the Mines in Rio Tinto everything is
00:21:50
completely different. The wheels here
00:21:52
were turned by people so the
00:21:54
water rose to the surface so that the ore
00:21:56
could be worked by the miners. It was at least clever, but the
00:21:58
Roman mines went deep into the ground,
00:22:01
underground tunnels were dug by hand, and there were
00:22:04
8 pairs of wheels in them. and pushing grabs Circle
00:22:07
after circle the scope of the use of
00:22:09
water-lifting wheels in reutinto is amazing
00:22:11
for a modern engineer, this is something
00:22:13
amazing, but for the Ancient world it
00:22:15
seemed like something impossible, but the Romans
00:22:18
did it; perhaps the assembly of the wheels themselves
00:22:20
took place directly in the mine where the
00:22:22
parts for this were lowered in the Ancient
00:22:25
In Rome in the Rudniki there were many such wheels when the
00:22:27
slaves pushed them, the water overflowed from
00:22:29
one pair of wheels to another, in the
00:22:31
end it rose to a 30-meter
00:22:33
height and with the help of an Archimedes screw
00:22:35
came out. It was a real
00:22:37
underground hell, dark and hot, the slaves
00:22:41
were constantly in toxic water they had the
00:22:43
hardest work in the mine after a
00:22:46
year and a half they died due to
00:22:47
constant exposure to this toxic
00:22:50
environment; nevertheless, the wheels in the mine were an
00:22:52
amazing engineering achievement; the
00:22:54
ancient Chinese also surprised with their
00:22:56
industrial facilities. Once they
00:22:59
created automation that replaced 10 workers;
00:23:01
today's workshops use machine tools
00:23:04
24 hours a day creating products for
00:23:07
modern industry but Thousands of years
00:23:09
ago in the east, the Chinese had already created a
00:23:11
similar technology in southeast China,
00:23:14
archaeologists discovered a working copy of an
00:23:16
incredible tool that was 2000
00:23:19
years old, a hydraulic hammer, it used
00:23:22
water and gravity to help
00:23:24
agriculture, several were located in the drive
00:23:26
pins each time one of them
00:23:29
hit one of the swing arms and
00:23:31
it switched this is called a falling
00:23:34
hammer the hammer falls under the weight of the head
00:23:36
and forcefully hits the grain in
00:23:39
these bowls this happens constantly and
00:23:41
can work 24 hours a day very
00:23:43
efficiently each hammer produces 445
00:23:47
Newtons and a mechanism with eight hammers
00:23:49
produces 8 times more force per
00:23:52
revolution, one machine replaces 10 people
00:23:54
working 24 hours, a brilliant master
00:23:57
used an
00:23:58
Ice Wheel to constantly
00:24:00
activate the hammers, you might think that the
00:24:03
ancient Chinese were ahead of their time by many
00:24:04
centuries, but this is not so, the fact is that
00:24:07
first this the hammer was used to
00:24:08
grind flour. But soon it moved from
00:24:11
the fields and was switched from crushing grain
00:24:13
to casting metal in industrial
00:24:15
workshops, because the ancient Chinese
00:24:18
invention was ahead of its time not by hundreds
00:24:20
but by thousands of years, because over the years almost
00:24:22
nothing has changed, the only
00:24:25
difference is that Our electric
00:24:27
machines are controlled by a motor and not a water
00:24:29
wheel. All this once again proves that
00:24:31
many modern inventions were
00:24:33
created by ancient people. The hydraulic
00:24:36
hammer is not the only
00:24:38
amazing creation of the ancient Chinese
00:24:39
more than 2000 years ago. They created a
00:24:42
destructive weapon capable of
00:24:44
turning recruits into Ancient
00:24:46
machine gunners, they developed perhaps
00:24:48
the first in history rapid-fire weapons
00:24:50
automatic weapons are critically important
00:24:53
For any army, the more remote control you
00:24:55
manage to release, the more effective an
00:24:57
automatic weapon is to turn a newcomer
00:24:59
into a death machine, and the Chinese
00:25:02
had such weapons; this military technology
00:25:04
gave the commanders of antiquity simply
00:25:06
amazing opportunities; firepower plays an important role on the
00:25:08
battlefield; therefore
00:25:10
The Chinese invented the Choco repeating crossbow.
00:25:13
Well, the genius of this weapon
00:25:15
lies in its simplicity. It has only
00:25:18
four main parts: a wooden stock; a
00:25:20
bamboo arc; a wooden magazine and a
00:25:23
lever in this crossbow; the action of
00:25:24
tensioning the bowstring; placing the bolt and releasing the
00:25:27
bowstring is done with one movement of the hand;
00:25:29
by placing 8 bolts in the magazine, we get A
00:25:32
truly dangerous weapon that fires
00:25:34
one shot every one and a half
00:25:37
seconds, after the lever was pulled, the
00:25:39
bolts from the magazine rolled into the chute
00:25:41
under their own weight; this multi-shot,
00:25:43
rapid-fire and extremely effective
00:25:45
weapon made it important on the battlefield not for
00:25:48
training but for technology; a rapid-fire
00:25:50
crossbow could turn peasants
00:25:52
into soldiers in a day just like the
00:25:54
Kalashnikov assault rifle does today, this weapon
00:25:57
allowed a recruit to achieve the
00:25:58
rate of fire of a trained archer
00:26:00
who had been training since childhood, the
00:26:02
Chinese regiment consisted of a thousand soldiers,
00:26:05
if in the worst case it
00:26:07
took a minute to reload the entire clip, this means that
00:26:09
8 bolts were fired per minute from one
00:26:12
person, this means that
00:26:14
8 thousand bolts were flying at the enemy, you won’t envy this
00:26:17
weapon turned the
00:26:19
enemy’s dense formation into walking targets ancient people
00:26:22
turned the crossbow into the first
00:26:24
modular weapon in history, that is, a
00:26:26
weapon appeared for which you could have
00:26:28
spare parts an additional bowstring a spare
00:26:31
frame a spare crosspiece it could be
00:26:33
quickly assembled it was easy
00:26:35
to replace parts and repair only after
00:26:38
2000 years standardized spare parts
00:26:40
began to be produced for other types of
00:26:42
weapons rapid-fire crossbow Choko Well,
00:26:44
created by the ancients, was so
00:26:46
effective that it was widely used
00:26:48
in Wars until almost the beginning of the 20th century,
00:26:51
the last mass use was in the
00:26:53
Japanese Chinese war in 1895 A this
00:26:57
means that the ancient Chinese taste for
00:26:59
lever-action weapons was ahead of its
00:27:01
time by thousands of years, the Romans had something
00:27:04
similar only for heavier
00:27:06
weapons, a real ancient polybalas machine gun,
00:27:08
it is a
00:27:10
rapid-fire ballista, it has a mechanism
00:27:13
for feeding arrows about the same as in a
00:27:15
crossbow, the chokon fits into the magazine
00:27:17
9 shells each if you keep it full, it
00:27:20
will shoot without stopping, turn the
00:27:22
winch, pull the string, load
00:27:24
the shells and the ballisto will fire
00:27:26
automatically as soon as the string is pulled
00:27:28
to the limit, the Romans had something
00:27:31
like a tank on a cart, they put a
00:27:33
giant ballista that could
00:27:35
rotate 360 ​​degrees, they
00:27:38
pulled the cart horses or mules the device
00:27:40
combined power, protection and
00:27:43
mobility in essence. This was a tank 2000
00:27:45
years before its appearance, especially
00:27:48
considering that like a modern
00:27:50
tank turret, the four-wheeled ballista could
00:27:52
rotate to respond to a threat.
00:27:54
From any side we saw a weapon
00:27:57
thousands of years ahead of us. But one thing a simple
00:27:59
invention of the ancient Greeks and Romans gave
00:28:01
birth to the most brutal weapon
00:28:03
of our time, which has not changed for
00:28:06
thousands of years in war, you need to prevent the
00:28:07
enemy’s advance and here on the battlefield
00:28:10
comes this hedgehog leg traps a
00:28:13
simple and effective weapon hedgehogs is a
00:28:16
metal with four spikes and how to don’t
00:28:19
throw one spike will always be at the top they are
00:28:21
easy to create install and carry the
00:28:23
enemy attacks advances on them suffers
00:28:26
losses and stops this simplest
00:28:28
invention is as effective as
00:28:30
modern means of restricting access
00:28:32
like mines its creation changed the course of a
00:28:35
defensive war they were easy to
00:28:37
make it was enough to take two
00:28:39
strips of metal and give them a shape,
00:28:41
weld them together, bend them, and all this very
00:28:43
quickly. Over time, swords, crossbows, and
00:28:46
metal armor disappeared from our
00:28:48
Arsenal. But we still use these hedgehogs,
00:28:50
they have hardly changed,
00:28:52
for example, the US Army still
00:28:54
uses hedgehogs in the Middle East, this
00:28:57
tiny weapon turned out to be an effective
00:28:59
example of ancient technologies when hedgehogs
00:29:01
thrown onto a hard surface, their
00:29:03
tip can stop any target, even the
00:29:06
most frightening elephants, the
00:29:09
Carthaginians and the Persians had elephants, they
00:29:11
terrified everyone, giant animals clad
00:29:14
in armor could break any formation, hedgehogs
00:29:16
became an excellent answer, elephants are
00:29:19
smart and thick skin, but the soles of
00:29:22
their feet are delicate Imagine that you throw a
00:29:23
whole cloud of such things in front of a wave of
00:29:26
attacking elephants, wounded elephants
00:29:28
will try to retreat the shortest
00:29:30
way, most often through their own troops,
00:29:32
causing huge losses among them. The elephant is a
00:29:35
real double-edged sword, it’s
00:29:37
ingenious, but a simple weapon could not
00:29:39
only to stop the enemy, the enemy always
00:29:41
tries to bypass the obstacle, therefore,
00:29:43
using hedgehogs wisely, it was possible to
00:29:46
direct the enemy anywhere, for example, to a
00:29:48
more vulnerable terrain for enemies where
00:29:50
they could be hit by heavy
00:29:52
cavalry. This simple invention can
00:29:54
serve as the basis for complex tactical
00:29:56
plans, and ancient people did this 3000
00:30:00
years ago in in the ancient world you can find
00:30:02
much more familiar modern things
00:30:04
in front of you is an ancient Roman Swiss knife,
00:30:07
this is the only surviving specimen
00:30:09
discovered in the Roman Mediterranean. It’s
00:30:11
simply an ingenious object, it’s impossible
00:30:13
to believe that it’s almost 2000 years old, it’s a
00:30:16
breakthrough in technology and a convenient companion for a
00:30:18
wealthy traveler, this object
00:30:20
was preserved because it was created from
00:30:22
silver and lay immured
00:30:24
underground for millennia, it allowed you to
00:30:26
carry everything you needed with you, like this, you
00:30:29
have a spoon, fork, knife, awl, and even a
00:30:32
toothpick. This means that all the
00:30:34
necessary household items are at your
00:30:36
fingertips. Such a knife was an attribute of prestige, a
00:30:38
sign that you eat well on the
00:30:40
road. proves how much the Romans were
00:30:43
ahead of their time, an amazingly
00:30:45
modern object from antiquity is no longer there. There is
00:30:48
no doubt that the ancient world was filled with
00:30:51
amazing technologies and just as
00:30:53
today in the modern
00:30:54
technological world we have a think
00:30:57
tank called the Valley where
00:30:59
talents from all over the planet come, in the
00:31:01
ancient world it was exactly the same
00:31:03
silicon Valley it was called the
00:31:05
Library of Alexandria
00:31:07
2300 years ago he worked here and was engaged in
00:31:10
science and one of the first geniuses of antiquity
00:31:12
where Sibius he was a skilled inventor
00:31:15
whose discoveries are an integral
00:31:17
part of the modern world one of them is the
00:31:20
power of compressed air today compressed
00:31:22
air finds many applications
00:31:24
for example in jackhammers but most
00:31:26
often it is pumped into the chambers of
00:31:28
car wheels, modern cars
00:31:30
race along the highway thanks to its
00:31:33
discovery. And this tool for
00:31:35
changing wheels also works thanks to
00:31:37
compressed air. Siberia, who lived in ancient
00:31:40
Alexandria, discovered that air has
00:31:42
mass and pressure. This was simply an
00:31:44
outstanding scientific breakthrough comparable to
00:31:47
Einstein's insight. with space and
00:31:49
time but How did this
00:31:51
little-known genius of antiquity make
00:31:53
such a discovery? It was an accident. While
00:31:56
working in a barber shop, he invented a
00:31:58
formula that could be raised and
00:32:00
lowered to make it easier to shave clients
00:32:02
while working this invention, where Sibi
00:32:04
noticed something when the mirror was on a
00:32:06
lead counterweight rose and
00:32:09
fell, a sound arose, the sound of air
00:32:11
that was pumped into the cavity and came
00:32:13
out, it was in his mind that
00:32:16
air is a substance that can
00:32:18
compress and expand in tcb quickly
00:32:20
realized that compressed air can be
00:32:22
used as a source of power And
00:32:24
soon he came up with the world's first pump in
00:32:27
it compressed air pushes water
00:32:28
outstanding inventions far
00:32:30
ahead of its time today it
00:32:33
is called a two-cylinder piston
00:32:35
pressure pump pressure pump To Tishibe
00:32:38
became one of the very first
00:32:39
fire extinguishers in the world in Alexandria it was
00:32:41
transported around the city to where
00:32:44
the fire broke out it was effective because it was
00:32:46
able to pump water into inaccessible places
00:32:48
places in the ancient world, a directed stream of
00:32:50
water seemed something new and
00:32:52
amazing, but after the Roman conquests,
00:32:54
fire pumps have now been used for thousands of years
00:32:57
again, from only in the 15th century to Tessibe,
00:33:00
2000 years ago, he created the principle by
00:33:03
which fires are extinguished even today, but
00:33:05
for Actisibe this was just the beginning
00:33:07
like all geniuses, his thoughts knew no
00:33:10
barriers in tisibiya he was one of the
00:33:12
highly paid intellectuals in
00:33:14
Alexandria he was part of a select group of
00:33:16
scientists who made discoveries in all
00:33:18
fields of knowledge to tesibiya and was
00:33:21
studying whether air pressure can be
00:33:23
controlled in the same way as water and
00:33:25
soon using a siphon He created the first
00:33:28
accurate water clock, which remained
00:33:30
the most accurate for almost two
00:33:33
thousand years; another outstanding
00:33:35
thinker, whom many consider the father of
00:33:38
robotics, was Philo of Byzantium,
00:33:40
also known as Philo the mechanic
00:33:43
because in this field he was thousands of years
00:33:45
ahead of his time. Philo was the creator of the
00:33:47
most incredible inventions. The ancient
00:33:49
world he was attracted to work in the
00:33:51
Alexandrian library at the same
00:33:54
time that Iktisibia there he wrote a
00:33:56
treatise on mechanics, which means the upper part of
00:33:58
this work was lost, but we
00:34:00
know for sure that he created some types of
00:34:03
weapons, but probably
00:34:04
his most phenomenal invention is the
00:34:06
mechanical maid, one can say
00:34:09
from the first robots this is a diagram of
00:34:11
Philo's maid of an automaton who poured wine into a goblet
00:34:14
and mixed it with water as
00:34:16
was then customary the device was
00:34:18
made in the form of a female figure with an
00:34:20
outstretched arm from a jug of wine such a
00:34:22
maid was intended for only
00:34:24
one purpose to incredibly surprise guests
00:34:26
after 2000 years of the robot Philo was recreated
00:34:29
and reactivated when we put the
00:34:31
cup in his hand, he mixes wine and
00:34:34
water in the exact proportions, first
00:34:36
the wine pours Then it stops doing this and
00:34:38
water begins to pour after that the cup
00:34:41
could be taken away and handed to the
00:34:42
perplexed And amazed guest how did the
00:34:45
robot manage to separately pour
00:34:47
water and wine This is how it was designed the
00:34:49
wine began to flow when the hand was set
00:34:52
in motion when the goblet reached a
00:34:54
certain weight the valve of the wine was
00:34:56
closed under pressure and served
00:34:58
diluting the drink according to ancient tradition in
00:35:00
this incredibly complex invention the
00:35:02
principles of hydraulics and
00:35:04
air compression were used open to the tisibii
00:35:07
which phylon brought to a new technical
00:35:09
level It is amazing that such an
00:35:11
incredibly complex mechanism was created and
00:35:14
used in ancient times,
00:35:15
more than two thousand years ago, Philo was
00:35:18
interested not only in robotics,
00:35:20
he came up with another incredible
00:35:22
technology that has not lost its
00:35:25
relevance for centuries and to this day we
00:35:27
use it this technology he used in an
00:35:30
octagonal inkwell in the center of
00:35:32
each face a hole is drilled, you can
00:35:34
dip the pen From any side, but the most
00:35:37
amazing thing is that at what angle without
00:35:39
turning it over, not a
00:35:41
drop of ink will spill out of it, it was an unprecedented thing,
00:35:43
the owner of such an item could
00:35:46
endlessly surprise guests, the secret was
00:35:48
in the secret inner rings which
00:35:50
kept the container of ink always at the
00:35:52
same level today after 2000 years this
00:35:55
invention is used all over the world
00:35:57
this is the principle of an aircraft gyroscope
00:36:00
indicating the level of the horizon to the pilot
00:36:02
At night or when visibility is poor this
00:36:04
device becomes the most important in the
00:36:06
cockpit the ring technology that
00:36:08
Phylon created today is called a gimbal
00:36:11
it was used even when man landed
00:36:13
on the moon, it’s a shame that a significant part of
00:36:15
Philo’s works has not survived to this day, of the
00:36:18
8 chapters of his work on
00:36:19
engineering, only three have survived. He was
00:36:22
one of the greatest engineers of antiquity
00:36:24
after Kessibius and Philo, who lived in the first
00:36:27
century BC. He
00:36:29
also worked in the Alexandrian library one genius of the
00:36:31
Ancient world, he taught mathematics,
00:36:33
mechanics and physics his name was Heron Heron
00:36:37
had a scientific mindset, the ancient
00:36:39
Greeks were famous for this quality, but they did not
00:36:41
shy away from religion and Heron was not averse to
00:36:43
making money from it, for this he
00:36:45
created various inventions for
00:36:47
temples so that they could impress their
00:36:49
parishioners and increase the flow of money in
00:36:52
ancient Alexandria there were countless
00:36:54
temples, the competition was
00:36:55
enormous, everyone wanted more donations for him.
00:36:58
Everyone was thinking about how they would be
00:37:01
allocated here the priests and turned to
00:37:03
Heron because they knew that he could always
00:37:05
come up with something because he knew how think
00:37:07
outside the box based on the works of
00:37:10
Tishiba and especially Philo Heron invented
00:37:12
incredible mechanical models
00:37:14
that were miracles of technology, priests
00:37:16
used them in temples to
00:37:18
demonstrate the so-called powers
00:37:20
given by the gods, an archer striking a
00:37:23
dragon with an arrow, a copper horse drinking water, figures
00:37:25
dancing around a fire, the hero was very
00:37:28
reminiscent of a modern illusionist
00:37:30
doing things that seems
00:37:32
impossible, but One day he surpassed
00:37:34
himself and created something Impossible,
00:37:37
most inventions at one time
00:37:39
looked incredible When automatic doors appeared in the 60s of the
00:37:42
last Century
00:37:43
They probably also
00:37:45
seemed like something fantastic, but
00:37:48
Imagine if they swung open
00:37:49
in front of someone two thousands of years ago, but
00:37:52
this actually happened Heron
00:37:55
really invented automatic
00:37:57
doors it was the most amazing
00:37:59
ancient technology the world's first
00:38:01
automatic doors were in an
00:38:03
ancient Greek temple it was believed that they were
00:38:05
opened by the gods Heron knew that when
00:38:07
heated the air expands this was an
00:38:10
outstanding development of the theory where Sibiya is about the
00:38:12
fact that air is a substance and
00:38:14
expanding hot air can be
00:38:16
used to push
00:38:18
water in the same way as compressed air in a water
00:38:20
pump, the priest lit a fire unnoticed by the
00:38:23
worshipers, this fire heated a container with
00:38:25
water, the water boiled, steam was produced,
00:38:27
which entered another container,
00:38:29
pushing out the water that poured out In
00:38:31
the vessel, the vessel with the help of ropes
00:38:34
activated the door mechanism, filling with
00:38:36
water, he opened them with his weight, the
00:38:38
worshipers were amazed, it seemed as if the
00:38:41
gods themselves had opened the doors, they were seized by a
00:38:43
sacred awe, today automatic
00:38:46
doors are a familiar part of our life, like
00:38:48
many other so-called modern
00:38:50
inventions, but on the doors Geron did not
00:38:52
stop,
00:38:54
he always sought to bring technology
00:38:57
to a level by learning how to skillfully
00:38:59
use weights, levers, water
00:39:01
pressure. He created another invention
00:39:03
that became widespread
00:39:05
only in the 20th century. Coin machine.
00:39:09
Incredibly, even in the ancient world it
00:39:11
was possible to throw a coin into the machine and get a
00:39:13
cup of holy water. This was the first vending
00:39:16
machine; a falling coin touched a lever
00:39:18
that raised the valve; when the coin
00:39:21
fell, the valve closed and the water
00:39:23
stopped flowing; everyone was happy;
00:39:25
the parishioners received water; and the temple received money;
00:39:28
such a comprehensive solution
00:39:29
indicates that Heron was a
00:39:31
genius who invented a vending machine
00:39:33
2000 years ago in the modern world.
00:39:37
we find drama and spectacle in cinema, but the great
00:39:39
directors of the 20th century owe a lot to Heron,
00:39:42
he was not just an inventor, he created
00:39:45
magic and he had a taste for spectacle,
00:39:47
Heron created the first
00:39:49
mechanical theater in history, the performance
00:39:51
lasted 20 minutes, the audience came out
00:39:53
stunned, the theater was a
00:39:56
set of figures performing certain the
00:39:58
movements were powered by
00:40:00
ropes and rotating mechanisms; it
00:40:02
was enough to press a button and the
00:40:04
real performance began; the
00:40:06
audience had never seen anything
00:40:08
like it before; they could not understand how it was
00:40:11
made; the word cinematography comes from the
00:40:13
Greek movement, and the foundation for this
00:40:15
wonderful phenomenon was laid by the hero.
00:40:18
However, he was not only illusionist
00:40:20
technology interested him as a field of
00:40:22
knowledge and he decided to go far Heron
00:40:25
brought the ancient world to the threshold of the Industrial
00:40:27
Revolution It is believed that steam engines
00:40:29
were invented during the Industrial
00:40:31
Revolution 200 years ago but like many
00:40:34
other things it was a rediscovery of this
00:40:36
copper ball It is called an aeolipile it is
00:40:39
capable of rotating at a speed of 1,500
00:40:42
rpm This was the world's first
00:40:44
steam engine; a sealed boiler
00:40:46
located at the bottom was filled with water; a
00:40:48
fire was made under it, which
00:40:50
heated the water, creating steam; it filled the
00:40:53
sphere and came out through two spouts
00:40:55
directed in opposite directions
00:40:57
on the world jets; it forced the ball
00:40:59
to rotate around its axis. invented
00:41:02
this 2000 years ago Imagine what would have happened
00:41:05
if the ancient Greeks had found an
00:41:07
application for this technology if the
00:41:09
industrial revolution had occurred 2000
00:41:11
years earlier today's world would be
00:41:13
completely different Heron was undoubtedly a
00:41:16
leading thinker of his time
00:41:18
he did not have the tools or knowledge
00:41:20
of modern people engineers but he
00:41:22
created incredible inventions
00:41:24
Unfortunately the Middle Ages Many of them
00:41:26
were forgotten in the ancient world there lived
00:41:28
undoubtedly great thinkers where Siberia
00:41:31
Philo and Heron were three giants but
00:41:33
among them there was one scientist who
00:41:35
outshone everyone, this is Archimedes, perhaps the
00:41:39
greatest mind of antiquity, he was without a doubt
00:41:41
true a genius of his time, he is
00:41:44
still considered the greatest
00:41:46
inventor of all time, and this is all the
00:41:48
more amazing because he was one of the
00:41:50
very first scientists of the Ancient World
00:41:52
Archimedes was born in Syracuse on the island of
00:41:54
Sicily 2300 years ago and he is at the forefront of the
00:41:58
development of modern scientific thinking
00:42:00
like Leonardo da Vinci he had an
00:42:02
extraordinary imagination, it helped him
00:42:05
invent a terrifying weapon against the
00:42:07
Roman fleet, but his main contribution to
00:42:09
science has not lost its relevance and today
00:42:11
many Modern technologies are based
00:42:14
on the principles of open archimedans, for example,
00:42:16
a screw, which was already mentioned in passing, its
00:42:19
principle seems simple, however, it was a
00:42:21
revolutionary extraordinary invention
00:42:23
he created wonderful things this screw
00:42:26
makes water flow upward in ancient
00:42:29
times it seemed to be a denial of the laws
00:42:31
of nature However, the genius was in
00:42:33
the simplicity you turn the handle the coils on the
00:42:36
rods scoop up water causing them
00:42:38
to rise up the pipe the Archimedes
00:42:40
screw became a real revelation with its
00:42:42
help it was possible to pump water from the
00:42:44
hold into ships, it simplified the irrigation of
00:42:46
fields and was one of the best achievements of
00:42:48
ancient technology, the most amazing thing is that
00:42:51
exactly the same mechanisms are used
00:42:54
today, for example in Switzerland, we can
00:42:55
see the Archimedes screw in here it is
00:42:58
used to pump water from a small
00:43:00
stream into a large river which is located
00:43:02
three meters above Well, on the Thames River in
00:43:05
England, Archimedes’ screws, instead of moving
00:43:07
upward, work in the opposite
00:43:09
direction; due to the current, they turn
00:43:12
the generator, thereby converting the force of
00:43:14
the river’s flow into electricity every time
00:43:16
those who use the electricity
00:43:17
generated by these screws
00:43:19
use the invention of Archimedes,
00:43:22
another of his creations is no less important why
00:43:24
the screw is used today all over the world
00:43:26
thanks to the ingenious invention
00:43:28
Archimedes came up with a system of blocks we are
00:43:31
not talking about building blocks for
00:43:33
erecting walls, in this case blocks
00:43:35
are called this wheel with a groove around its circumference
00:43:37
rotating around its axis
00:43:39
thanks to a rope before Archimedes, heavy
00:43:42
loads were lifted solely due to
00:43:43
physical strength in the ancient world, in order
00:43:46
to lift a ton of cargo it took 40
00:43:48
people, but thanks to Archimedes this work was
00:43:51
now only able to be done by one other
00:43:53
brilliant engineer, the mathematician Galileo
00:43:55
called Archimedes a superman
00:43:57
at the same time, thanks to him, everyone can
00:43:59
gain super strength and lift
00:44:02
even an entire car alone Archimedes understood the
00:44:04
essence problems, so he came up with a very
00:44:06
clever system of blocks and winches, he
00:44:08
calculated that with the help of blocks and a winch it is
00:44:10
easier to lift the load; double blocks
00:44:13
make the work twice as easy; pull the
00:44:15
rope and the load is easily separated from the ground.
00:44:18
And all because its weight is distributed
00:44:20
along the cables; of course, the length of the path
00:44:22
increases, but this is the principle of a block and a
00:44:24
rope; a device that allows you to
00:44:26
easily lift heavy loads; with its
00:44:29
help, one person can lift an entire
00:44:31
machine; the more blocks and the longer
00:44:33
the rope, the more weight
00:44:35
one person can lift; a lever has a similar
00:44:38
principle; in fact, any block
00:44:40
is a lever. Archimedes said
00:44:42
that having a lever of sufficient length, one
00:44:44
person will be able to lift the entire earth, but here’s
00:44:47
how you can lift a car with the help of
00:44:48
blocks and ropes: simply hook a
00:44:51
sufficient number of these same blocks
00:44:53
with ropes and pull towards yourself soon
00:44:55
the machine that weighs more than a ton from
00:44:57
getting rid of the Earth from the outside
00:44:59
looks impossible, but these are the laws
00:45:01
physicists Archimedes came up with this ingenious
00:45:03
thing more than 2000 years ago and the technology is
00:45:06
still working and used
00:45:08
everywhere exploring the fundamental
00:45:10
laws of nature Archimedes changed the world his
00:45:12
invention, seemingly simple, became
00:45:15
such an integral part of
00:45:16
modern reality that they are taken for
00:45:18
granted as already
00:45:20
mentioned Archimedes developed weapons for
00:45:24
2240 years ago the city of the state of
00:45:26
Syracuse in Sicily was besieged by Roman
00:45:29
troops. It was important to capture Sicily for
00:45:32
its natural resources and grains.
00:45:33
The military leader Marcellus sent the Xerocoses a
00:45:36
powerful Roman fleet, his task was to
00:45:39
capture the city. Syracuse had a
00:45:41
big problem; they were attacked by a
00:45:43
superpower. The Romans sailed and besieged
00:45:45
this important city. However, Syracuse
00:45:48
had a secret weapon, his name
00:45:50
was Archimedes When the Romans attacked the
00:45:53
city from two sides, the inhabitants of the Shiroko
00:45:55
launched machines designed by Archimedes,
00:45:57
they threw
00:46:00
heavy stones at the Roman troops on land in the ancient world,
00:46:03
Archimedes had a reputation as an expert in military
00:46:05
devices, it is known that the Romans
00:46:07
were in awe of his inventions,
00:46:08
their commander The soldiers fell into despair
00:46:11
when they learned that
00:46:13
Archimedes' mechanisms would be used against them. The first
00:46:16
deadly weapon from his Arsenal
00:46:18
was called Archimedes' claw. The Sicilians
00:46:21
had little manpower, so Archimedes
00:46:23
could
00:46:25
only use the power of his mind against the Romans. Archimedes' claw. An
00:46:27
advanced weapon for that time, a group of
00:46:30
soldiers hooked on an approaching ship. an
00:46:32
iron hook with the help of levers and
00:46:34
blocks turned it over, these machines
00:46:36
physically fished ships out of the water and
00:46:39
it was a terrifying sight, as soon as
00:46:42
the enemy ship approached the walls of the
00:46:44
sirokuska, a huge hook caught its nose and
00:46:46
lifted the ship above the water either sank from a
00:46:49
critical longitudinal roll or
00:46:51
broke from critical longitudinal
00:46:53
loads, damage was also caused by
00:46:55
the fall of the ship from collisions with
00:46:57
Archimedes. The Romans left many
00:46:59
records from which it is clear that the camouflage of the
00:47:01
cranes behind the battlements of the walls was at its best and the
00:47:04
Romans believed that the
00:47:05
gods were against them. The claw of Archimedes is often
00:47:08
called a super-weapon of the Ancient world;
00:47:10
another principle of using the claw is
00:47:12
dropping from a height huge logs on
00:47:14
enemy ships and troops, the
00:47:17
question arises: Why did the ships sail so close
00:47:19
to the walls of the city strategically?
00:47:21
This seems like a rather stupid decision. But
00:47:23
it made sense. The fact is that the Roman
00:47:26
commander assumed that Eight ships
00:47:28
carrying a high sambuca tower would be able to
00:47:30
approach the walls then according to
00:47:33
Marcellus’ plan the legionnaires were supposed to
00:47:35
penetrate the city through the tower. However, thanks to the
00:47:37
claw of Archimedes and several
00:47:39
stones weighing
00:47:42
250 kg successfully fired by catapults, the tower was destroyed, after which
00:47:45
Marcellus ordered a retreat. Marcellus,
00:47:48
making fun of his position, said
00:47:50
that Archimedes was treating his ships with sea
00:47:52
water, the famous ancient historian of
00:47:55
Libya wrote Takova miraculous of one
00:47:57
person of one talent skillfully
00:48:00
directed to any task. The Romans
00:48:02
could quickly take possession of the city if
00:48:05
someone had taken one old man from among the Syracusans,
00:48:07
but since this one was among the
00:48:10
Syracusans, they did not hold back to attack the
00:48:12
city. end of quote in 2005 they were
00:48:15
carried out several experiments in
00:48:17
order to verify the veracity of the description of
00:48:18
Archimedes' claw, the constructed structure
00:48:21
showed its full functionality
00:48:23
according to one of the legends, first described by
00:48:26
Diodorus Sicilian when the Roman fleet,
00:48:28
having been defeated, retreated to a safe distance
00:48:30
inaccessible to the catapult stones
00:48:32
Archimedes used another
00:48:35
of his inventions, he installed a
00:48:36
large mirror in which directed rays
00:48:39
from other smaller mirrors; the reflected beam
00:48:41
was able to set fire to and destroy Roman
00:48:44
ships; historians Plutarch and Titus Livi
00:48:46
wrote that the Roman fleet was burned by the
00:48:48
defenders of the city, who, with the help of
00:48:50
parabolic mirrors and shields polished
00:48:52
to a shine, focused the
00:48:55
rays of the sun on them; on the orders of Archimedes, the
00:48:57
reliability of this legend
00:48:59
was more important Physicists rather than historians, this
00:49:01
supposed weapon has been the subject of
00:49:03
ongoing debate about its
00:49:04
authenticity since the Renaissance,
00:49:07
modern researchers have attempted
00:49:08
to recreate the effects using only the
00:49:10
means available to Archimedes,
00:49:12
it has been suggested that a large set of
00:49:14
highly polished bronze or
00:49:16
copper shields acting as
00:49:18
mirrors could have been used to
00:49:20
focus sunlight on a ship,
00:49:22
so the Greek scientist Ioannis Sakkos in
00:49:25
1973 managed to set fire to a plywood
00:49:29
model of a Roman ship treated with
00:49:31
resin from a distance of 50 meters using
00:49:34
70 copper mirrors, coating the resin would have been
00:49:37
common on ships in the classical
00:49:39
era, participants in the famous program
00:49:41
MythBusters twice tried to
00:49:43
repeat the experiment with
00:49:45
Archimedes' mirrors And both times were failures
00:49:47
because they came to the conclusion that the more
00:49:49
likely effect of the mirrors was blinding
00:49:52
or distracting. The crew of the ship, Dr.
00:49:55
Cliff, believes that it was possible that they used not
00:49:58
flat mirrors, but slightly concave ones to
00:50:00
create a focusing effect. Dr. Ho
00:50:03
believes that the effect that
00:50:04
curved shields could produce was not given
00:50:06
due attention by other
00:50:08
researchers and that scientists did not
00:50:10
realize the full power of what was being created and
00:50:13
the little things in all studies
00:50:14
it was assumed that Archimedes used
00:50:16
only flat mirrors, while
00:50:18
concave surfaces focus rays much more strongly; the
00:50:20
curvature of mirrors could
00:50:22
provide Archimedes with the task of igniting the
00:50:24
ships of his laboratory. Dr. Ho uses
00:50:27
curved mirrors to easily melt
00:50:29
heat-resistant brick from excerpts from the works of
00:50:32
ancient authors, we can conclude
00:50:34
that Archimedes knew well the
00:50:36
incendiary properties of concave mirrors,
00:50:38
conducted experiments on the refraction of Light,
00:50:40
studied the properties of images in concave
00:50:42
flat and convex mirrors, be that as it
00:50:45
may, in the end, Syrocusa was
00:50:47
not taken by the Romans by storm, but thanks to
00:50:49
betrayal it happened during a
00:50:52
holiday when the guards were drunk,
00:50:54
one of the guards opened a sweaty
00:50:57
passage in the wall to the enemy, despite
00:50:59
Marcelo’s order not to touch Archimedes anyway,
00:51:01
one of the Roman soldiers during the turmoil
00:51:03
during the capture of the city killed him. The Romans then
00:51:06
made excuses for a long time, saying that it was an
00:51:08
accident, they needed support of
00:51:10
the Greeks and it was extremely unprofitable for them to
00:51:12
appear in the role of murderers of their best
00:51:14
representatives during his lifetime, Archimedes managed
00:51:16
to make many discoveries in the field of
00:51:18
geometry, anticipated many ideas
00:51:20
of mathematical analysis, laid the foundations of
00:51:23
hydrostatic mechanics, was the author of a number of
00:51:26
important inventions, and one can only
00:51:27
guess what technologies he would have
00:51:30
invented if lived longer, maybe the
00:51:32
industrial revolution could have begun for
00:51:35
2000 years Previously, he could have immediately given
00:51:37
rise to a new time, most of his
00:51:40
works, like the works of other geniuses, were
00:51:42
written on scrolls that were kept in the
00:51:44
Alexandrian library for hundreds of years
00:51:46
because of the war and unrest, it was subjected to
00:51:48
several arson and by looting,
00:51:50
no one will ever know what works
00:51:53
were destroyed as a result of these
00:51:55
events; perhaps in the ancient world there were
00:51:57
other geniuses whose information has not been preserved.
00:51:59
But today we
00:52:01
can confidently say one thing: the ancient Greeks were
00:52:03
outstanding inventors who
00:52:05
laid the foundations of modern science
00:52:07
two thousand years ago and other
00:52:10
engineers of antiquity set the standard for
00:52:12
many technologies that are an
00:52:14
integral part of the modern world,
00:52:16
many inventions We didn’t even have time to
00:52:18
mention, from the most complex
00:52:20
navigation systems to precise
00:52:23
cutting methods, the ancients could create
00:52:25
engineering miracles that would take your
00:52:28
breath away, they built industrial facilities,
00:52:30
erected grandiose structures,
00:52:32
ahead of their time for Thousands of years
00:52:35
they created Things that turn a person into
00:52:38
Superman the genius of antiquity gave the world
00:52:40
many theories and inventions they
00:52:43
created technologies that even today do
00:52:45
not need improvement the
00:52:47
ancient people were by no means primitive
00:52:49
perhaps in terms of intellectual potential
00:52:51
Some of them are comparable to
00:52:54
Einstein himself but that’s all not No don't forget
