10 Ancient Inventions Over Which Scientists Have Still Breaking Their Heads The world is really old and so are the people. Humans have existed for thousands of years and
with time there have been innovated things which have left even scientists of these days baffled.
Many of their invention are inexplainable even by the most brilliant minds which shows that
ancient people were smart and ahead of their times. Lets check 10 ancient inventions over which
scientists are still breaking their head. But before we get into that don’t forget to subscribe.
Number 10.)robots in ancient china
In ancient China we come across a number of highly advanced robots that could sing, dance, act
like servants and perform many other surprising tasks. Some of these remarkable robots are even
said to have possessed life-like organs such as bones, muscles, joints, skin and hair. It’s a quite
remarkable considering it is only recently our modern civilization has started to develop human-
like robots. There is no doubt mechanical engineering in ancient China reached a very high level.
History of robots in ancient China can be traced far back in time. Robots existed not only during,
but also before the Tang Dynasty
Number 9)ancient computers
In 1900, an amazing encrusted bronze object of undetermined use was found on the small island
of Antikythera, 25 miles northwest of Crete. One of the curious scientists decided to clean it and
found that it was a complex instrument with cog-wheels fitting one into another. Finely
graduated circles and inscriptions marked on the instrument in ancient Greek were apparently
related to its function. Based on the cargo, it was dated to about the 1st century BC. It seemed to
be a sort of astronomical clock without pendulum but no Greek or Roman writer has ever
described such an ancient computer, though many other wonders of antiquity are mentioned.
Researchers have long debated where the device was built, and by whom. The Enigmatic
Antikythera Mechanism is Still Full Of Secrets
Number 8.) Ancient Sophisticated Mercury-Based Gilding That We Still Can’t Reach
Ancients were in possession of very sophisticated knowledge. Ancient gold and silversmiths
used mercury, which was produced more than 8,000 years ago in Turkey. Mercury was used for
gilding in many parts of the ancient world. Many of the ancients’ techniques are still unknown.
They were so skilled that some of the quality they achieved has still not been matched. In ancient
times, these sophisticated methods were used to produce and decorate different types of artefacts,
such as jewels, statues, amulets, and commonly-used objects. From a technological point of
view, the aim of these workmen over 2000 years ago was to make the precious metal coatings as
thin and adherent as possible. This was in order to save expensive metals and to improve the
resistance to the wear caused by continued use and circulation. Sometimes, the technology was
used to apply real gold and silver. It was also used fraudulently, to make cheap metal statues that
look like solid gold or silver.
Number 7.) The Lycurgus Cup
This amazing artifact clearly shows that our ancestors were far ahead of their time. In fact they
were so advanced that they may even have been inventors of what we today call nanotechnology.
This extraordinary cup is the only surviving complete example made from dichroic glass, which
changes colour when held up to the light. When light is shone through the body of the cup it
turns from opaque green to a glowing translucent red. The glass contains tiny amounts of
colloidal gold and silver, which give it these unusual optical properties. Another good example
revealing our ancestors were familiar with nanotechnology are the strange microscopically small
nanospirals within material that had to be at least 100,000 years old have been detected in several
places, during a routine investigation of mineral deposits in the Ural Mountains in 1992. The
origin of these extraordinary but strange artifacts that the human eye can barely see – is still not
explained. This Fascinating Artifact That Reveals Prehistoric Knowledge Of Nanotechnology
Number 6.) Crystal Sunstones Helped Vikings To Navigate
Over one thousand years ago hand-built wooden ships equipped with massive, hand-loomed
sails, the Vikings navigated the extremely challenging waters of the North Atlantic. While
voyaging on the seas, how did the Vikings know where they were going? The Norse sagas
mention a mysterious "sunstone", a magical stone which showed sailors road when the sun
disappeared. Sunstones can no longer be considered just a myth. Archaeologists have discovered
a special crystal that suggests legendary.
