A look at many sophisticated old ancient advanced technology that were supposed to have been developed centuries later. What happened to them? Who came up with the idea? What explains their historical exclusion?
Exotic antique technology is concrete proof that the linear progression of time we are used to may not apply to past, culture, or even truth itself. Matrix errors are what you’d call them here.
Objects unearthed in archaeological excavations, artefacts that suggest the ancients utilized advanced tech, or artefacts that just defy any explanation are all examples of ancient advanced technology. So much has been lost in the face of conflict and lack of record in the new language that we are now obliged to either twist the facts or simply confess “nobody really knows.”
Let’s take a closer look at each one and see whether we can find the answers to these eternal questions.
Iraq’s Baghdad Battery
It is widely accepted that electricity was created in the 17th century. “Electricus” was coined by William Gilbert in 1600 to explain the power that some compounds generate when brushed against one another. Thomas Browne, an English scientist, used the term “electricity” for the first time to characterise his findings depending on Gilbert’s spend a few years later. His research with a kite and a key was carried out in 1752 by Benjamin Franklin. Power was developed as a result of this simple fact: lightning is made up of small sparks of electricity.
Isn’t it amazing to think that power was found and used as early as 250 BC & AD 224? Known as the Baghdad Cell or Parthian Battery, the device was found in 1938 in what is today the Iraqi city of Khujut Rabu. Until further evidence is provided, it is impossible to determine its origin or purpose. However, no electro-gilded artefacts from this period have been found to support the theory that the device was an electrolytic cell used for electroplating or electrotherapy.
Because so many exact reproductions have been constructed, it is safe to assume that the Baghdad cells could conduct electricity. Ancient advanced technology, a modern clone may generate voltages between 0.8 and nearly two volts. An electrolyte, or ion-carrying solution, is needed to transport electrons between two different metals having various electro prospects. Although no cables were ever found to show this, a sequence of cells might potentially provide a considerably higher volt if placed in parallel.
Rome’s Lycurgus Cup
A Roman glassware cage cup from the 4th century, the Lycurgus Jug is a rare find. Both the type of production and the level of craftsmanship involved are impressive. However, this is not the reason why it has been included on this list. Glass that changes colour based on the direction of light flowing through is used in the Lycurgus Cup, which is red over and green in front.
Nanoparticles of precious metals are disseminated in sufficient concentration across the glass in order to achieve the dichroic effect. It is one of the most impressive items ever made before the advent of ancient advanced technology. Researchers who have studied the dichroic impact created by glass have come to the conclusion that Roman artisans were early adopters of nanotechnology. Pieces of precious metals, finely pulverised down in size of a grain of table salt, had been infused into the glass by the scientists. In light of the precise composition of the precious metals, it is clear that the Romans were experts in their field.
An Area In Mexico Known As The Tecaxic-Calixtlahuaca Head
An Area In Mexico Known As The Tecaxic-Calixtlahuaca HeadResearchers believe the Tecaxic-Calixtlahuaca head, discovered in 1933, is part of a bigger sculpture. By Jose Garcia-Payen, an archaeologist working in the Toluca Valley, he unearthed the tomb of a pre-Columbian civilization. In the early stages of testing, researchers assume the figure to be Roman. This excavation site was undamaged, preventing any unintentional contamination. A Roman artefact in pre-Hispanic Mexico: how did it get there?
As a result, it wasn’t until 1995 that a thermoluminescence test with P. Schaaf and GA Wagner was undertaken at Heidelberg, Germany’s “FS Archaeometry unit” that the artefact was dated to between the 9th and 13th centuries.
In light of its age, scholars have hypothesised that it was carried to the location via ancient advanced technology Indian or Chinese ships, which would explain its long journey from Asia to America. A thousand years of travel with such a frail artefact would seem to refute this theory.
There is no way to know for sure what the answer is. Since the Tecaxic-Calixtlahuaca head is just an enigma that has been the subject of a number of ideas, none of them can be confirmed and thus the Tecaxic-Calixtlahuaca head remains a mysterious, out of place artefact.
What if we don’t know anything at all about our own past and that there were many travellers to the Americas prior to Christopher Columbus’ arrival?
Greece’s Antikythera System
Divers uncovered a wreck off the shore of Antikythera that contained a magnificent assemblage of Greek busts and other artefacts. It was only eight months after the excavations had ended that the astrological significance of an encrusted metal lump discovered during the 1900-01 season was realised when it came apart. Called the Antikythera Device, this device has more gear wheels than any other surviving method from the subsequent millennium. It is incredibly complex. Precursors vanish without a trace.
In the second century BC, the Antikythera Mechanism was discovered. An old computer capable of detecting astronomical movements has been uncovered by researchers after a lengthy inquiry into the mechanism. Using a computer, the Zodiac might be followed, eclipses predicted, and even the moon’s erratic orbit re-created. Believe it may well have forecast the positions of planets. For the next thousand years, no other civilization will be able to claim to have developed anything like.
Romain Concreting
As little as 50 years later, modern concrete, that is used in everything including roadways to buildings to bridges, can begin to degrade. Although the western City Of Rome was destroyed or more than a thousand years old, its structures are all still in place. In spite of the fact that the recipe has long been known, the specific blend and method for making it are still unknown.
Volcanic ash and lime were mixed with volcanic pebbles and poured into wood moulds which were then submerged in much more sea water in the ancient advanced technology mortar recipe devised by Roman architect Marcus Architect in BC 30.
It’s impossible to imagine a structure built with this mixture of materials that would last the test of time.
What gives monuments created just a few years ago the appearance of having been exposed to the elements for centuries, whereas structures dating back thousands of years, like the Pantheon and Trajan’s Markets at Rome, appear to be relatively new constructions?
The Damascus Steel
During the eleventh century, the Crusaders discovered blades made of metal that could chop a hair in half is mid-air, yet was powerful enough to terrify even the most intrepid and tenacious fighter. The swords were exceptional because their blades remained incredibly sharp and strong even after countless battles.
The metal’s mythology spread, and it was dubbed Damascus steel by Europeans, after Syria’s capital city. For some reason, Damascus steel’s recipe was lost in the eighteenth century, and the original procedure for making the metal remains a mystery.
It was forged steel that made up the blade of swords made there in the Middle East from steel imported through India and Sri Lanka, known as wootz steel. Patterns of banding & mottling like flowing water can be found on these swords.
Damascus’ weapons industry prospered because Arabs brought Indian non – heat treatable steel to the city. India shipped steel ingots to the Middle East from the third century to the 17th century. There was less need for the metal and less demand for Damascus sword production by 1750, when firearms replaced swords. Eventually, metalsmiths lost the skill and the procedure.
Due to variances between materials and production procedures, no one has been able to completely replicate the metal. A billet of iron and steel slices is welded together to create “Modern Damascus,” which is commonly accepted in the industry to define modern design welded steel blades, even though it is technically wrong. This depends on how the billet is worked by a smith.
Costa Rica Stone Spheres
Ancient advanced technology: In the 1930s, a team of scientists discovered 300 nearly perfectly spherical stone balls in Costa Rica’s jungles. In diameter, they ranged in size from a few inches to seven feet wide and weighed 16 tonnes. For the time being, scientists don’t know who made them or how old they are.
Most of those stones look to be perfectly spherical, however this is not the case for most of them. As a result of the larger spheres’ size and the difficulties of measuring them while they were still partially buried in the earth, Lothrop’s measurements from the 1950s were the most accurate. There are also some balls that exhibit the marks of the equipment used to produce them.
India’s ‘Iron Pillar’
The Ashoka Pillar, also known as the Iron Pillar in Delhi, stands 23 ft 8 inches tall (7.2 metres) and has a diameter of 16 inches. It’s 98 percent wrought iron and weighs more than 6 tonnes. Built by “King Chandra,” most likely Chandragupta I, it stands within Qutb complex in Mehrauli near Delhi, India. There are numerous Sanskrit inscriptions on the pillar, dating back to 375-415 AD.
The Iron Pillar in Delhi’s purpose is one of the numerous mysteries of the monument. Some believe the inscription refers to a flagpole that was made for such a king named in the text. Others claim that it was originally used as a sundial in Madhya Pradesh, where it came from. Another enigma surrounds the disappearance of Madhya Pradesh. No one knows how the pillar was relocated 1,000 years ago how something moved, or why.
The Iron Pillar in Delhi’s most talked-about enigma is how it has remained pristine for so long. This occurrence has spawned a number of theories. Material considerations (favoured by Indian researchers) and environmental variables (favoured by Western researchers) are the two primary types of these theories (favoured by foreign investigators).
Ancient advanced technology: When the weather changes from moist to dry, the phosphorus in the iron combines with iron oxides to form the film. They didn’t add lime as we do today, and also utilised high phosphate wood, that’s why there are so many minerals in them. The “Mixed Possibility Theory” explains how the processing, structure, and characteristics of the iron influence the pillar’s strength. According to a scientific investigation of the Iron Pillar in Delhi, these three variables combine to generate a passive layer of rust. Consequently, the pillar has not rusted in over a thousand years and appears to be in perfect condition.
Another question is also why the structure has not yet rotted away after more than a thousand years. When it comes to mysteries, the Iron Pillar has a reputation for keeping its secrets under wraps.
