      Master Therion Interestingly, it was, if you can imagine, use to repair HVAC ducts.

    • @diGritz1
      @diGritz1 8 років тому +1

      Are you suggesting that's where duck tape comes from or that there is a type of duck tape used for HVAC? If your suggesting the latter then you are wrong. Also that is not where duck tape gets it's name.
      The name comes from the duck cloth used as the backing. The stuff we have today is directly related to the duck tape created the duck tape created for sealing ammo boxes in WWII
      There are many types of duct tape and it has been around a lot longer then HVAC systems.
      But it has also been around for a lot longer then HVAC systems.

      Lazor and then there is that border river thing with meänkieli. one side of the river valley is Finnish and other side Swedish, so the whole valley spoke little bit of both in a jumble. Not to mention the common popular hobby of smuggling stuff over the river in both directions for fun and profit. and yeah on Finnish side also every single village or town is located based on water ways. for the longest time one of the main industries was floating down logs along the rivers towards south and the industrial centers.

    Memo from Big Brother to Revision Department: "Earliest aqueducts was from Persia - it is no longer Rome or Greece. Place those in the memory hole. The location of the first Persian aqueduct *is not dated,* so just say 700 BC so they will forget what you just told them. Us usual, do not answer any further questions." -Big Brother.

  • @H2O.Science

    Interesting video! FYI what you describe from 9:53-11:00 is not drinking water treatment. These are the steps involved in wastewater treatment - aka turning water from sewers into water that won't cause damage to the river ecosystem and humans that swim in it (I'm a water and wastewater treatment researcher). Some of the steps are similar, but biological treatment is not a main treatment for drinking water (it sometimes happens with biological filtration) and pre-sedimentation is a special case.

    • @SouthernRebels94

      Europe gets the credit because Europe has the oldest and more advanced type with the water system plus because the world's oldest water system is wide known and more popularized throughout history.

  • @SafetySheepRnD

    Let us not forget the Romans and Latins used lead pipes to ferry water from the aqueducts to the home and lead plates to line the aqueducts themselves. Dirty water was only part of the equation! Also, for the pronunciation of ducere, my Latin professor would say "doo-keh-reh."

    • @ozdergekko
      @ozdergekko 8 років тому +1

      That's how they say in Germany, in Austria we say doo-tse-reh. I'm not sure, but I think Italian also uses "ts" for ce and ci (tsitsero, not kikero), and "k" for ca, co, cu.

    • @979akkipuden
      @979akkipuden 8 років тому

      I love what you said but when you said romans and Latins I didn't quiet understand cuz technically in the time when being Roman was a thing there was no such thing as being Latin since Latin was only a language not an ethnicity or nationality back then Latin in today's terms means being Latino or from Latin America but back then in Roman times Latin was only a language so technically the correct way for you to say that would have just being the romans not the romans and Latins

    • @SafetySheepRnD

      Delmar Sanders the Latins were the people indigenous to the region where the Roman Empire was started. Romans are from Rome, Latins were from the surrounding Italian peninsula, which would later be assimilated by the Roman Empire. Technically, I guess Romans are also Latins but I think they were also keen on self identity for some bizarre reason... I don't remember the history exactly. This is why the language is called Latin not Roman.

    • @SafetySheepRnD
      @SafetySheepRnD 8 років тому

      Delmar Sanders correction... the Romans were a Latin tribe. They would go on to conquer their neighboring city-states to build what we know as the Roman Empire. It's kinda like how Cherokee and Navajo are Native American tribes, except that the Latins shared a language. That would also explain why they called themselves the Romans instead of the Latins. Glad I'm not taking Latin anymore... would have failed that quiz with flying colors.

  • @gammafighter
    @gammafighter 5 років тому

    I'm interested in learning about this topic, but I've been put off by two things:
    1) the obvious fluff that was basically one step short of explaining that humans need water to live. I already understand that part.
    2) the weird, out-of-place commentary. Like "in America, we learn more about ancient Rome than 1930s Iran. Isn't that weird????" No. It makes perfect sense considering that ancient Rome has had much more influence on American society than Iran. The idea that you would question that is the part I find strange. Also, it depends on your school. I remember learning about the fertile crescent and ancient Mesopotamia in school, but I don't remember learning about ancient Rome.
    Anyways, I'm not going to bother watching the rest of this video or looking at any other videos on this channel.

      Basically B.C.E/C.E. is B.C./A.D. without being offensive to people who see no reason for dividing history around the birth of some Jewish person supposedly born approximately 2017 years ago. Especially given that the religion that started around that person has not always been the most benevolent towards Jews, Muslims, homosexuals, etc.

    wait wait so then actually if you think about it it's like this place earth is either heaven or hell because why are we drinking un natural water, like you know if we are meant to really be here then surely natural the water is ok to drink but it seems not unless of coarse it is ok and just people being fussy and filtering it now adding chems to it 🤔
