5 Pieces Of Ancient Technology We Still Don’t Understand
5 Pieces Of Ancient Technology We Still Don’t Understand
1 NIMRUD LENS:
Nimrud's goal is a 3000-year crystal piece that was found in the Nimrud Palace in Iraq by Sir John Layard in 1850. It is said to have been done in 750-710 BC. Scientists have proposed a theory that this lens was used by ancient Assyri as part of a telescope, taking into account their knowledge in astronomy.
The lens is slightly oval and rough on a lapel wheel. It is believed that the ancient Assyrians considered Saturn a god surrounded by a ring of snakes. This in turn demonstrates that Galileo is not the first person to create a telescope.Used as a magnifying glass, it could have been useful to the assy craftsman who often made intricate seals and produced small texts on clay tablets with a wedge-shaped writing.Researcher and author, Robert Temple, who spent a lot of time studying the old lenses, writes in his fascinating book The Crystal Sun that "technology is banned when its existence is not allowed." It is easy to forbid existing technology in the past because all you have to do is deny it, claiming the ban becomes a simple matter of deafers, stupid and blind, and most of us have no problem doing it when needed.Scientists can not agree on the true purpose of the Nimrud lens
2 ) ANTIKYTHERA MECHANISM :
The Antikythera mechanism is an ancient Greek tool used to trace the movement of the sun, moon, and planets to foresee celestial events and other astrological purposes. It was found in the 1990's by divers on the coast of the island of Antikythera. Scientists believe that this device belongs to the first or second century Bc.The purpose of the device is not fully understood, but its construction has disconcerted scientists over the years. It is often referred to as an analog computer due to its ability to calculate solar years and lunar phases.
The Antikythera mechanism was similar to that of a watch on the fireplace, and pieces of wood found in the fragments suggest it was stored in a wooden box. Like a watch, the box would have a big circular face with rotating hands. There was a knob or handle on the side to roll the mechanism forward or backward. And when the knob turned, the interlocked sprocket trains had carried at least seven hands at various speeds. Instead of hours and minutes, the hands were celestial: on one side for the Sun, one for the Moon and one on each of the five planets visible to the naked eye: Mercury, Venus, Mars, Jupiter, and Saturn. A rotating ball in black and silver showed the moon's stage. Inscriptions explained that the stars went on a given date. There were also two marking systems on the back of the box, each with a pin that followed its spiral groove, like the needle on a turntable. One of these dials was a calendar. The other showed the time of lunar and solar eclipses.

3 ) VITRUM FLEXILE (FLEXIBLE ROMAN GLASS)
Vitrum Flexile was created during the reign of Roman Empiror Tiberius Caesar. It was invented by Petronio in 63 AD which presented the ship to César and asked him to return it. When Petronius threw him to the ground, he did not break but he was crouched. The inventor then modeled it to its original form. Not recognizing the genius, César chose the inventor for fear of the devaluation of precious metals."However, there was once a craftsman who made a glass cup that did not break. Then he was admitted to the presence of the emperor to offer his invention, then, having received the cup from the emperor's hands, threw him to the ground. Who was so surprised by the Emperor? But the man grabbed the cup silently, which was like a bronze bowl, then, taking a small hammer out of his pocket, managed to easily and neatly touch the cup. he was as good as heaven, especially when the emperor said to him, "Someone who does not understand the creation of this ship?" But, responding negatively, the emperor ordered him to be decapitated, because if once the secret was known, we should not think of gold or dirt any more.Another version of the story told by God Cassius has portrayed the inventor as a magician. When the container was thrown on the floor, it broke, and the inventor fixed it with his own hands. A company called Corning introduced a flexible glass similar to that of Petronius in 2012.

4) LYCURGUS CUP :
The cup of Lycurgus is a crystal glass in dichroic glass that changes color depending on the light that passes through it. This fascinating work of art reveals the knowledge that ancient peoples had about nanotechnology. The cup represents the defeat of Emperor Licinius of Constantine in 308-24 AD.When light goes through the cup, it changes color from opaque green to a flashy red and translucent. The cup contains gold and colloidal silver, giving these unpublished optical properties. A research team at the University of Illinois is trying to build a more sophisticated science-based structure for making the cup of Lycurgus.Drinking-cup; glass; green and red; covered with various scenes representing the death of King Lycurgus; rim mounted with silver-gilt band of leaf ornament, plus silver-gilt foot with open-work vine leaves.Old nanotechnology works as follows: When exposed to light, electrons belonging to metal motors vibrate in a way that alters color depending on the observer's position. Gang Logan Liu, an engineer at the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign, has long focused on the use of nanotechnology for disease diagnosis and her colleagues have realized that this effect has offered untapped potential. "The Romans knew how to make and use nanoparticles for a fine art," says Liu. "We wanted to see if they could have scientific applications."When several liquids filled the cup, Liu suspected they would change the interaction of vibrating electrons into the crystal and then into the color. Today home pregnancy tests use a separate nano-based phenomenon to turn a white line into pink.

5 ) CONSTRUCTION OF THE PYRAMINDS IN GIZA
The Giza pyramids have fascinated people for centuries. It is believed that the Great Pyramid built in 2550 BC is the largest structure created by humanity. Scientists have revealed that it took about 20 years to build the Great Pyramid. Despite all the research done, scientists are still not clear about how the pyramids were built. Some believe that the pyramids have been made from a much more advanced civilization 4500 years ago.The pyramid consists of 2.5 million rocks, each weighing between 2.5 and 15 tons. With the lack of resources, it would have been impossible to raise them using only wooden ramps, so it was probably done manually.The researchers are working to understand the sophisticated planning that would be involved in the construction of the pyramids, which not only required the construction of the pyramids but also temples, naval shafts and cemeteries located near the huge structures.The researchers noted that the Egyptians had the ability to accurately align the North True structures, something that might have helped in the planning of the pyramids. Glen Dash, an engineer studying the Pyramids of Giza as part of the ancient Egyptian Research Associates (AERA), noted that the Cheops pyramid is aligned with the true north of a tenth grade. As the ancient Egyptians did, it is not entirely clear. In a report recently published in an AERA newsletter, Dash wrote that a circumpolar star like Polaris and strings were probably used as part of the method.
