What is the video name with the guy crying asking for something in the genius inventions that should be everywhere 4 video and jeez our old self are big brain while we are small brain
Actually, before Heron of Alexandra invented the steam power, there was a Greek engineer which invented the first steam power in 3rd century bc which his name is Archimedes. He invented a canon that uses hydro steam power.
Man shout out to my man Heron. Think of what things would be like if he was taken seriously. I'd like to go back in time, grab him, and show him what the future is like.
Heat makes steam turns turbines that turned the magnets that create electricity. It’s still used to this day the only difference is different sources of heat
@@countloco5362 until the day comes when science does something that completely changes who we view as the best of our species, like if they create a way to extend human life, or restructure DNA to induce mutation like X-Men, but not quite as sci-fi, more like super strength and better use of our brains. If that day comes, the science team spearheading the research will become legends. I think we as humans tend to admire people that make something that really resonates with us, like a song we feel connected to, or a movie character that has similar experiences that we've had, which is why some scientists really were considered rockstars for how well they're known, like Einstein or Hawking, because of the work they did and the accomplishments they achieved that changed peoples lives and how they look at the world.
You know , we are actually devolving , they ancient people literally use their bare eyes to spot out the six planets , we can’t even distinguish between star and planet lol
Mostly because stupid people were the first in line to fight in the many wars while intellectuals were protected. Now, dumb people keep breeding and we end up with flat-earthers and the alt-right, while scientists are persecuted. It’s sad.
Ctestibius' version of the klepsydra was a major improvement on the previous ones, because of the way he created it. The older ones weren't exactly accurate when it came to the right amount of time going through. It was used to time speeches in court. To give both sides equal time, water would run through the first half, a plug would be put in, and removed when the second speaker was ready. But because there was more air pressure above the water in the bottom half of the "bucket", the second speaker (defence IIRC), didn't get quite as much time. So he created one which would do its job in exactly the same time for both. Heron was a true genius. He knew a lot about steam power, and very nearly invented the steam engine. Had he been around in the 17th century, he could have been the inventor of the first one. (Btw, there wouldn't have been any women and children, especially girls, allowed at the temple. The Greeks were ahead in many ways, but the Athenian in particular were incredibly sexist!) Edit: I beat you to it lol. Unfortunately he never took the next step. Imagine if he had?
Humans are not smart unless your rich you can not live your dreams all we are is a tax farm for governments we spend our lives paying bills and taxes then when your gone your government don't know you or anything about you yet our contribution even goes unnoticed ask yourself are we smart or just lambs for another's agenda :)
@@williamthomas2823 governments are here for a reason. It's true what you said but we can't help it right? We need to give tax so that the country can keep on running and keep on improving as a nation. Humans are smart creatures and we have come a long way so let's just enjoy our lives and don't think about these government-tax things

On the subject of alarm clocks, In some ancient countries, pins/rods/pebbles were inserted/impressed into the side of candles. When the candle melted enough, the object would fall and strike a bell/plate/etc.
@@Buggu3 Why do you think so? They knew how to put rocks on rocks, in essence, pyramids are that... There were many great, interesting things that we build in the time of the man whose name I use as a pseudonym, Ramses II, Ozymandias is the Greek name of that pharaoh and a famous poem. Anyway, we are at the peak of our technological development, and if humanity makes quantum computers, that would be a new paradigm in computers...
Its impressive to think how much time went into research when making this video. They not only had to compile a list of ancient fascinating inventions, they also took the time to lean how they work sufficiently enough to explain it. 👍🏻
I wish they had done a little more research to be able to distinguish between two different countries of Persia and Arabia which they sadly hadn't! Judging by the last part of the video
So my remote control could be thought to be magic wand and TV a magic looking glass. However instead of flying carpets they are making hovering devices although not as small as one with Michael J. Fox as Marty McFly yet.
Literally everything that can't be explained people immediately point towards aliens. Like bruh cmon humans are pretty complex creatures that may be considered aliens too by other beings. Sometimes being smart doesn't necessarily reward you but instead gets discredited by stupid people that give the credit towards something that doesn't exist.
There is the "museum of ancient greek technology" in Athens Greece that It presents all these technologies. There are also videos on UA-cam about this museum.
The Roman moving Statue. On a shipwreck, off of the coast of Italy, a Roman vessel was discovered. A statue was discovered to have the ability to slowly move about the ship. I forget the method, but it was still way ahead of it's time.
So not quickly attack ship like Talos in movie Jason and the Argonauts. Maybe the Greeks wrote about a different spot although they called Hercules by Roman name in movie his Greek name was Herakles.
This was absolutely amazing!! Some I knew of a bit but not in the great detail here. Fantastic informative and highly entertaining, thank you Be Amazed 💖💖💖
When it comes to vending machines, Japan took the automat to new levels. Although now electric vending is the way maybe going back to the pull your selection or manually spin to selection and slide open the see thru door is something we could go back to in order to save energy. I guess refrigeration is an issue but many products don't require it.
One technology around today that's not being used to it's full potential is Superconductivity. Superconductive ceramic discs could be quite a lot more than just scientific curiosity items.
Story time: I woke up one time to hear an alarm and I thought it was a fire alarm because I had set my alarm clock to 6:00(when it would be light outside) but instead it set off at night it was my first time using one and i was very scared of fires but i was stuck in my bed and all I could do was scream FIRE, FIRE!! as I start to tear up. (It was just my alarm clock btw)
Heron also made a class of triangles called "Hero triangles" where both perimeter and Area are both whole numbers. And Superhero triangles where the Perimeter and Area are the same. Only 5 superhero triangles exist. Which have the numbers: 24 30 36 42 60. There is also a triangle area formula that is credited to him. Its known as A=√s(s-a)(s-b)(s-c)|
The video didn't include the Mayan calendar. Since its inception in the 3rd century AD, the Mayan calendar has only been off by 33 seconds. The only 2 clocks more accurate than that are pulsars in outer space, and atomic clocks like the one at Fort Collins, Colorado.
The Saxons had a way of storing goods that were perishable in grubenhauses. These were made solely out of wood. I have spend a long time trying to figure out how they did it. Cold beer and cider on a hot summers day sounds nice.
Ancient Egyptians are very fascinating and interesting. They are all geniuses and very smart. Their hieroglyphics are very interesting as well. Ancient Egypt is my ultimate interest.
The ancient style of Persian refrigerator was truly ingenious. It's just surprising that the Europeans never used this ancient technology during the Middle Ages to preserve food and drinks.

Plato's clock used the same kind of gadget to sound the alarm as is used inside your washing machine to deliver fabric softener. Really clever little thing.
Never underestimate the intelligence of humans. I feel the reason people nowadays don't really invent that much is that: 1) Schools force us to think the same way and test us in the same standardised method. If you try something unorthodox you will often get punished or will simply be unnoticed. This discourages free thinking. 2) Life in general is much busier and harder because of urbanisation. With so many people in a city competing for the same jobs and resources, you have to stand out to even get a chance. This means we have less free time to do what we want and most often we just try to unwind before working again. 3) People take for granted the inventions of previous geniuses without realising how much effort went into them. 4) Our standard is becoming ever higher. Even today there are plenty of people making great things, but we don't consider it that mind-blowing.
there actually is an iphone that shouuld be at least 25 years ahead of us, it's a wristband where you press a button and it will project a hologram above your four-arm and you can use it like a really advanced iphone
Monticello, Thomas Jefferson's mansion in Charlottesville, VA, has a French double door that if one door is pushed or pulled open, the other will automatically open as well-in the same direction as the first. Works on a belt and pully mechanism under the door's threshold.

The Clepsydra is like a stop watch, a timer, not a time keeping clock, and the ancient Greeks were Hellenes, not yet Greek; it took the Romand to do that. Good video.
Its crazy that ancient cultures are able to do things that we can't replicate today the Egyptians had the measuring tool any ability to tell the exact circumference of the earth which we can't even do today we have estimations but nowhere near as close as what they could do
Between the 'Greek fire' that mans lost the ingredients for and the 'wind ball', pressure powered vehicles and machinery should have been created a long time ago. The implications are immense. Could you imagine how much wood and other fossil fuels would have been saved. How advanced we really would have been ahead, with both these things created around the same time and country....
The basics of the original vending machine are still used in most homes today. The float and stopper functions are key to flushing toilets. Obviously his design is still very effective.
The automatic was very cool! But I do wish they came with cars or something that can fly back then ! Edit: the first computer was very very mind blowing:0
about the steam engine one, it got lost because of the burning of the library of alexandria setting humanity 2000 years back. so much knowledge was lost, they even had the starting point of calculus in books in there.
Heron of Alexandria not only invented the "automated doors" but also a functioning "pseudo steam engine" one that should be considered a very early prototype for what Thomas Newcomen would kind of reinvent in 1712 to solve the drainage problem of the English coal mines
Carl Seagan once said that " If the Greeks did not get interrupted in their projects ( wars, tragedies, dark ages etc), today we would be travelling across the stars with spaceships written in greek letters. Allot was lost from the ancient world ( Greece, Egypt, China, Rome, etc...)and basically humanity had to reinvent itself on "fragments" of what was written ...kept and survived. RESPECT
Can you imagine how long you had to stand there to wait for those ancient automated doors that open. They sent the door boy to start the fire before they got there so that the doors would open whatever they got to it
To us, Its not important what the device did back then. Its the idea, the concept and the ingeneniosity in the mechanism that is important for that time.
Solar is remarkably under used... But I can't help wondering, if we cover everything with glass panels, will we super hear the ozone with the reflections?
I personally think that humanity should use magnetic field technology in method of sending data as positive and negative would represent 0's or 1's in computer data equivalent. I don't know how exactly to achieve this or if quantum computing is not already doing it but it is an idea. :D
Plato's water alarm function could have been carried out by allowing the water to mix with another substance (after a certain amount of time) causing a chemical reaction that made noise... (Potentially a kettle-type whistle which escaping gases would travel through?)🤔 Just one man's quick hypothesis.
