Greek fire's recipe isn't secret, i know how it was made: Add two parts oil to three parts youtube comments and one part political debates, then bake for 420 minutes inside 4chan at 666 degrees. Cool, sprinkle with cinnamon, and enjoy. Serves a whole comment chain.
Sadly that's happened to many ancient marvels. No one knows how the Stradivarius violin or Damascus steel is made anymore either. Sad the people who knew how to do it were so secretive
+Kristen T i think the man who made stradivarius violins did pass his work down as time went on but i think the people who he showed never kept up the tradition so the art died out and they are some of the most amazing sounding violins ever made i had a friend who owned one and omg the sound still haunts my dreams and i was only 7yrs old when i heard him play im now 25
James Quinn If you only pass on a technique to family members then you take the chance if it being lost. He should've at least written it down for posterity
Kristen T i totally agree with you if something stays in the family business you sure as hell do run the risk of having the secret buried with your family tree you couldn't be more right even if you wanted to lol
Azteks in Central America were playing football/soccer 3,000 years ago, long before Romans. The prize for the winning captain was being decapitated so that their soul could be with the gods....
Jackson Fortune I know that, but in many other countries we were educated with the idea of an entire continent called America; north, south and center are just part of it. I always have the same argument with my wife who is from United states... just trying to have fun.
These inventions are so simplistic I don't see why anyone would be amazed that any of these are ancient. The robotic bird is pretty impressive, though.
Nope, the Chinese invented a piece of bread (or rice pattie) with sauce on top with meats. Don't call that a pizza? What is?!?! The Greeks took this and made pizza.
12out of 25 inventions that literally change the world were greek well that makes Greece one the most important nation that help and make mankinds life easier and more helpful.LOVE YOU GREECE
+Julio C the Greeks studied in Mesopotamia, the middle east was the knowledge center of the world. the Arabs came and destroyed that with their religious bullshit and destroyed and burned thousands of libraries. they decreed that the only truthful book was the koran and everything else must be destroyed. some of the information in the libraries were saved and sent to other countries.
+MrPepsicola123 You are so incredibly wrong. When the Spanish finally took back Spain they found Moorish libraries containing thousands of scientific books at a time when the biggest European book collection barely numbered in the hundreds. And if you were a scientific minded European at this time you went to Bagdhad to study because Eurpoe was being strangled by the Church which greatly limited scientific inquiry. Without the Muslim Arabs most of the knowledge discovered in the ancient world would have disappeared.
MrPepsicola123 First, the Moors who took Spain were a mixture of Arab and North African Berbers. For the centuries they ruled Spain it was called Al-Andalus and it's legacy is one of scientific and artistic achievement.The science of optics was founded there. The instruments still used in chemistry were invented there. Christians from Europe, Muslims from the Middle East and Jews all studied there. If not for them and the knowledge taken back to Europe during and after the Crusades the very likely would never have been a Rennaisance. You may not like them but they helped make that computer you're using happen.
MrPepsicola123 You need to separate your bias from objective history. In the 9th century the largest library in Europe- St Gall- had 36 volumes. The library in Andalusian Cordoba contained at that time some 500,000 volumes. Paper from China had reached the Middle East long before it did Europe. Books were far cheaper and literacy was much higher. Have you even bothered to look into Arab scientific achievements in the fields of mathematics, chemistry (the word alcohol is derived from Arabic because an Arab discovered distillation) astronomy.(Altair and Deneb are from Arabic) and medicine? You make blanket statements dismissing centuries of work and discovery. That's unrealistic given the time and effort they put into to this, going so far as to recruit scholars from all over the known world. Under those circumstances they should have, if even by chance, discovered at least something. At any rate, modern historians are giving them a lot more credit than you are. Sorry, but I'll believe them first.
#13, Actually, many historians have known about the properties of Roman concrete for some time, as Roman concrete that was set around 2000 years ago looks better than modern concrete set 50 years ago. Modern scientists were never able to reproduce Roman concrete until 2014, when an ancient record was found with the recipe for Roman concrete written inside.
If used correctly, a battery can be used to start fires.... one possible use of an ancient battery. Another use would be to create an electro magnet (which in turn could be used to create permanent magnets).. Just some possibilities....
Ha Ha What people fail to realise is the English called it football and soccer (working class called it football, Posh rich people called it soccer) When the game was introduced to America the rich posh class of people could only afford to travel to that part of the world thats why its known as soccer in north/south america. Same applys to Rugby if you go to a posh school in England they call it Rugger.
Earliest recorded football match was in Sheffield in 1794. Sheffield Rules heavily influenced the F.a's rules when it was created as there were 2 sets of basically accepted rules :-north and London. They kicked a sheeps bladder around for 2 days in the first recorded match! No deaths but plenty of injuries! Could you imagine the modern players in that game!?!? Fabregas or Ronaldo or Aguero? Would last a heartbeat never mind against Lorimer Bremner and co. More skilful nowadays but not hard like days of old. Anyway, I digress. Different versions existed but I was always told being a Yorkshireman from South Yorkshire, just up the road from Sheffield, that this was the first accepted version of the modern game. It's first inception, if you like. The birth of the modern game or the nearest thing to it. Probably were lots of versions over the years in different countries, but, as explained to me, the first documented match with rules, that birthed the modern game as we know it today. Obviously things progressed rules, kit, balls, Ect ect ect.
In some ancient native american pictographs I observed, One of them had a very shocking symbol: A vertical double helix with horizontal bars connecting the helices. A sort of DNA.
Just a question: why is it that in America, football is called soccer, and football in America is not related to the foot whatsoever? Also WHY DO WE AMERICANS NOT USE THE METRIC SYSTEM? Sometimes I question my country xD
Well, (me not being a football person at all, just trying to logic my way through) my theory is perhaps the "football" refers to the heavy running component of the sport? Soccer focuses a lot around manipulation of the ball with the foot, calculating speed and trajectory as well as avoiding 'enemy' feet, while Football focuses (from what I've seen from the sport! I don't think I've ever fully watched a game) on powering through the field on foot. "Foot" doesn't have to be a noun, perhaps more of a verb? -not a sports need at all, I beg mercy if I've displeased the sports gods ;; -
As an American, I used to think that Europeans were at the least, quirky, and at the worse, they were just plain stupid for calling soccer "football". After all, we Americans KNOW that OUR "football" is the REAL "football", right?! Uh...WRONG!!! LOL! After comparing how our football is actually played, to how their soccer is played, I realized that it is absolutely OBVIOUS that soccer is the "real" FOOTball! I humbly apologize to any and all European soccer fans! (BTW-can any of you European soccer fans please explain to me why in the world you call those violent little assholes who riot and injure other fans, "HOOLIGANS??!!! Over here in America we call them "CRIMINALS"!!!! Over here, the word "hooligan" pretty much means ornery kids (usually young teenagers) who cause a bit of trouble. Obviously that word over there has a different meaning. Do you know why you use the word "hooligan"?? Just curious... :-D
misleading title............. the title says "25 Modern Inventions That Are Really Ancient" while the video shows 25 things that were invented long time ago that we didnt knew and thought were created recently
I am surprised that Robotics was not on your list. Not robots, but Robotics... the ability to make life like things that mimicked the human form. The Greek God of the Forge, Hephaestus is known to have made two women of bronze that held him up so he could work at his forge, since his legs were crippled. So far as I know, this is the first instance of actual Robots and Robotics that we know of from History (as we currently know it). enough from me, Speaking Frank(ly)
Minoans were not Greek. They were an civilization of their own on Crete contemporary with ancient Egypt. They predated the Greeks and were the inspiration for some Greek myths such as King Minos and the Minotaur
What about the oldest computer in the world which was discovered quite recently dating back 3000 years ago on an ancient shipwreck that originated from grease
Flame thrower was not invented by Greece before the world wars Greece made liquid flame which was a chemical compound that we still don't know how to make
Bring back the guy who started this he was 100% the best person for the job, I can only stand he's soothing voice, And everyone else just bores me to death
The funny thing is that these inventions could be much more ancient than we thing they are. They could just have been wiped out with the times and reinvented, or are buried in the sands right under our feet
the tooth brush fact is not so new to arabs/muslims because we have (still) the "chew sticks" we call them miswak and they are so much better in cleaning ur teeth but (for me) the smell of toothpaste is better.
+Abdulaziz AlQehidan According to Wikipedia, the miswak has a 7000 year old documented history. I have no idea why you'd connect it with Arabs, or even more bizarrely, muslims.
I think America and possibly Canada are the only countries in the world that call football (football) and football (soccer). I don't understand it. Any other country calls soccer (football) ( which i totally understand. i mean it actually uses your feet.) the other sport is (American football).
Why is every greek on here going like "I'm proud to be greek"??? I mean seriously, I'm greek too but what is there to be proud of anymore??? It's just like any other culture now, nothing special about it. Same as other cultures (politics, people, stuff we use)
Modern comcret can be just as durable. Just as smartphones can be made to last longer than two years. However If stuff doesn't break some people are less likely to buy new.
The Byzantinians were guarding the secret recipe for greek fire so well, they forgot it themselves.
Greek fire's recipe isn't secret, i know how it was made:

Ancient Greeks/Romans came up with some really cool stuff!
Dont tell Americans but apple pie isnt American. :P
And I'm just sitting here being Australian
I think that one is obvious, every one knows its dutch right?
I'm American
I'm speaking for my American people
No one gives a shit.
Bernado Garay Thanks for the compliment id much rather do without that shit.
Don't tell americans but french fries aren't french
Only top lost channel that post new vids regularly. Thank you for that
I learn more history from +*List25* than school.
Awesome history lesson, man!
Azteks in Central America were playing football/soccer 3,000 years ago, long before Romans. The prize for the winning captain was being decapitated so that their soul could be with the gods....
that was quite different than football tho, that was like some odd foot-basket-racket ball.
For the footbal thing. They ancient maya's played a similair game. But with there knees.
Don't tell Americans, but América is a continent.
North America and South America are continents. America is a term that is short for The United States Of America
Jackson Fortune I know that, but in many other countries we were educated with the idea of an entire continent called America; north, south and center are just part of it. I always have the same argument with my wife who is from United states... just trying to have fun.
sebastian montalvo fair enough
Don't tell Europe that they are not a continent just part of Asia! And don't tell Australia that they are a continent as well!
Jackson Fortune I do consider Canada inside America though.
Regarding the Baghdad batteries, it is theorized they were used for electroplating, which would have very practical use in those days.
Why does everybody forget that the antikithera mechanism also showed the time and when and where the olympic games whould be held at.
Conclusion: The ancient Greeks were awesome! :)
These inventions are so simplistic I don't see why anyone would be amazed that any of these are ancient. The robotic bird is pretty impressive, though.
The Chinese invented PIZZA before anyone ever did. The Italians just took it from them.
You're thinking of Pasta
Nope, the Chinese invented a piece of bread (or rice pattie) with sauce on top with meats. Don't call that a pizza? What is?!?! The Greeks took this and made pizza.
12out of 25 inventions that literally change the world were greek well that makes Greece one the most important nation that help and make mankinds life easier and more helpful.LOVE YOU GREECE
All because of the use of compressed air.water. and levers
And nowadays Greece is a bankrupt hellhole.
Canadas pretty great
Sorry, no offence.
I meant in comparison with how it used to be. No offence to any greek out there.
Lol everyone knows perfume was invented long ago.
Right?
you would be surprised...
The bible talks about it
OSU Bucks421 Well that is because jesus had a stink about him soooo bad they had to come up with a way to drown the stench of him.
Might just be the worst comback I've ever heard in my life. You grumpy atheists are always bullien people, you need Jesus
What happend to Juan?
He was not the chosen Juan

He lost his green card.
The Anonymous Sexual Redditor that was fucked up but hilarious XD
***** Ahh, thats too bad. He has a good "narrator voice". If that makes any sense :P
Wish you would show more of the ancient stuff
List25 you guys made a video on WW1 were you also said the flamethrower was used for the first time by the Germans in that war.

Greek fire isn't described as a flame thrower, it's described more like napalm.
Or like burning tar.
Chew sticks are kinda cool i tryed one
As I read the title all I could think about was "So are they modern or are they ancient?"
No football was invented in China about 3000 years ago, they called it cuju
It is call soccer.... bring the hate!!!!!!!

Only when it comes to football, I am a total idiot with anything else ;)
We all know Ronaldo is better than Messi
Except for his ball control. MESSI owns that skill
Ice skates were definitely needed in Finland.

But i still miss the original list 25 guy

Now instead of " Walk like an Egyptian" I feel like taking a bath like and Egyptian:)
What would we do without ancient Greeks and Romans?
It was called Liquid fire actually, by the Greeks.

the tooth brush fact is not so new to arabs/muslims because we have (still) the "chew sticks" we call them miswak and they are so much better in cleaning ur teeth but (for me) the smell of toothpaste is better.
Is this miswak just like a toothbrush or is it just wooden
no its a wooden twig from certain trees that has the tip of it choped
So you use it like a normal tooth brush or chew?
both u rub it like a tooth brush and u can chew it i usually start chewing it when im bored. but it is a lttle bit diffrent im some ways
+Abdulaziz AlQehidan According to Wikipedia, the miswak has a 7000 year old documented history. I have no idea why you'd connect it with Arabs, or even more bizarrely, muslims.
I think America and possibly Canada are the only countries in the world that call
football (football) and football (soccer). I don't understand it. Any other country calls soccer (football) ( which i totally understand. i mean it actually uses your feet.) the other sport is (American football).
