PLEASE NOTE: Yes, I'm aware that relatively recently from the point in time that you're reading this, some group or some person has claimed to have craced the Voynich Manuscript but just like every other time it died out shortly as it didn't hold up as they got further into it. If this notice is still on this coment when a FULLY CRACKED AND READABLE VERSION IS PUBLICLY AVALIABLE please inform me about it. Until then, please spare me the "Vonyich has been solved" comments if you aren't even gonna look past the first headline that says "some random people claim to have figured it out". Just a question, doesn't it strike you as slightly odd that after all the experts failed it's always a Slavic person talking about ancient Slavic scripts or something like that? It's always someones own ancient culture who has the solution. Somewhat detailed explanation of every big fault in this video. 15. Wootz steel is explained and can be replicated. Also those blades can not cut through rifle barrels any better than any other curved blade could. Again, the method of how to make wootz steel is well known today and as far as I can tell this was figured out many decades before this video was released. "Juicy Topic": Simply explained by those fables being just that. Stories. There are no reliable records of it so yes the stories are all nonsense. 14. Greek Fire, it's ability to burn on water is not even a proven fact but even then, just because we don't know the exact composition of Greek Fire that the Byzantines used that doesn't mean we don't know ways of how it could be done. Some materials that it might have been made out of include pine resin, naphtha, quicklime, calcium phosphide, sulfur, or niter. We know how to make something similar but we simply don't know the exact composition. 13. The Voynich Manuscript while unexplained is NOT dated to any time era what so ever. All we know is that the book existed before Wilfred Yoynich purchased it in 1912. Yes the parchment it is written on has been dated to the early 15th century but that does not confirm that the writing or illustrations are from that time period. There is almost 500 years of time between the date it was purchased and the date the parchment was made. That's a lot of time. Now yes this is still an unexplained mystery but the answer could be anything including "It was written and illustrated in the mid to late 1800s and some individual or group had made up their own language for their own reasons." Personally this sounds pretty reasonable as any language is difficult to understand without some basic words to start out with but again I don't know and NOBODY does. Until this manuscript is confirmed to have been from the far distant past (not just 100-150 years ago) and the "language" inside is actually confirmed to hold actual meaning it still isn't gonna convince me of civilization from 500 years ago holding knowledge of the future or holding knowledge of worlds we don't know about or something like that. This could literally just be the insane writings of an insane mind or it could simply be fiction. Remember that things in books don't have to be real. 12. The Antikythera mechanism, again long before this video was made we had this admittedly peculiar object figured out. It has been described as an analogue computer but make no mistake in thinking it is anything like computers of today. It isn't. This is not taking away from the craftsmanship and ingenuity that went into making this mechanism though. It was used to predict and follow the movement of the Sun and Moon through the zodiac and it was used to predict eclipses. Similar things have been found in different regions and time eras as well and though the knowledge about what this thing is was forgotten at some point it was never truly lost. 11. The Seismoscope. Here I could again go into detail but that's not really necessary, it's the same deal as with Greek Fire, it was possible to do we simply don't know the exact method used. This does not mean we don't have ideas for how it could have been done at the time. Most of the information I found about it being something we can't replicate precisely today is regarding the accuracy of the original. The "first" seismoscope. Well we don't have that one to test and all we have are stories about it which could have been greatly exaggerated or simply not accounted for coincidence. I also don't think most surviving seismoscopes are up for deconstruction. 10. Ulfberht Swords. Dude are you kidding me? If every weapon ever described as unbeatable in battle truly was unbeatable in battle wars would simply end up being never ending. Uflberht swords were made by several different methods but all of them methods know at the time and known today. The only part of these swords that can be considered "shrouded in mystery" would be the inscriptions in the blades and who made them. The blade isn't made of "so pure metal that it seems impossible to have been made before the industrial revolution". It was COMMONLY available only a few decades after the oldest finds. Also the actual materials and methods of crafting the swords is different from piece to piece. Some are done in one way, others in another, some with material from one region others from material from elsewhere. It seems like it simply was a blacksmith looking to create the best possible quality he could at the time and presumably his family followed in his footsteps. Ya know what? I've watched through about half of the video and dismantled a third of the claims simply by reading the first few pages on google. If you want to know every other way this video is just completely inaccurate and misleading: just keep watching the video and every new piece of technology he names pause the video and google it, read up on it and then continue the video and you'll just scream internally.
Thank you rift!!! One more, the dodecahedrons are proven to be looms for weaving gloves. The codex gigas... never mind. Hey folks, don't get fooled by this ignorant channel trying to spread miss communication simply for add funds
100% agree... Almost everything that comes off this channel, is false... The the things that he talks about are real but the facts about the pieces that he talks about are false.
Modern metalurgists and blacksmiths tend to agree that the ability of the Indian region smiths were able to produce Wootz due to the source ore they used containing the element Vanadium and not due to some magical formula they kept secret. Not to take anything away from their skills. To be able to produce such high quality alloy was amazing considering they had no technology to test and verify materials like today. Its believed that the "secret" of Wootz died out because the Vanadium containing ore from their mine played out and they no longer could make the steel without it. Look up work by Dr. John Verhoeven for more info.
What if we melt it down and measure the % of each element present than recreate that exact % mixture with purer products on a hotter furnace than they had access to? It might be alot better than they could even make it.
Wootz has been "rediscovered" by Al Pendray in 1981. We now have great samples of people reproducing it, the top notch being Alchemy Steels in Finland (which has the same refinement as the real deal). A metallurgy professor actually explained to me exactly how it forms. So Wootz is understood now.
The "Roman Dodecahedron" is a tool for knitting that is still in use today. Not a mystery at all. I honestly only clicked on this video to read the comments debunking it. So thanks for contributing.
That's ok, the purpose of the Antikythera mechanism has been known for years, and as of 2021 even the missing parts have been recreated. It is an astronomical device, and more advanced than their technology could actually make successfully. It had errors in its predictions because of the inability to make the device as fine as was needed for more accurate results. However, it was still a breakthrough in mechanical engineering, although it seems to have been lost to history, much as the later steam engine was lost until rediscovered much later. The purpose of the Antikythera mechanism was suggested back in 2012, so when they say this has not been solved they are lying. I am not watching this any further... No reason to waste my time on tripe. The old items are great to explore, but when the presenter lies about them you have to wonder WHY are they lying and what do they gain. I can only explain this with "likes" and viewers... SO I deny him that because of his deception.

Vajra is also depicted as thunderbolt and is the weapon that Lord Indra wields. This Weapon is believed to be invincible. After being driven out from Swarga, or heaven, by the serpent king Vritra also known as Vritrasur, the Devas needed a powerful weapon to aid their fight so they went to Lord Vishnu for guidance. Lord Vishnu told the Devas that Vritrasur would only be killed by a weapon (Vajra) made from the sage Dadhichi's bones. So the Devas went to the Sage Dadhichi and explained the situation and told him that Lord Vishnu has sent them to him for help. Sage Dadhichi agreed to help the Devas and by his Yog-power ended his life. The Devas then made the Vajra from sage Dadhichi's bones and with that weapon Indra killed Vritrasur and defeated the Asuras and reclaimed heaven. The Pic of the Vajra shown here in the video is just symbolising the divine weapon and not the actual Vajra. This five-pronged ritual object extensively employed in Tibetan Buddhist ceremonies. In Sanskrit it has both the meanings of “thunderbolt” and “diamond.” Like the thunderbolt, Buddhist's believe that the vajra cleaves through ignorance.
@Skrivnostni Vrt the vajra is a device used in higher dimensions to alter space time allowing for reality changed. It actually warps spacetime so the equilibrium bit makes sense in that context. Certain forces must be correctly balanced in order for the crossing of dimensions to work correctly.
I made it to 3:20 and am baffled as to how this has 2 million views. Well done, sir! One day I hope to see you in a video about things we can't explain.
fair play to ya! I got to 2:20 and had to find comfort in the comment section. thankfully it seems like most people down here recognise the garbage but how this has 2M views when everyone has google is beyond me.
got to 2:06 and knew the whole video was BS, as a bladesmith and history buff, the first one immediately showed they did 0 actual proper research on these items
I just paused at 3:33 to check comments to see if anyone corrected him. This video is clickbait shit. They're not getting the rest of the watch-time from me.

I am starting to agree. I thought maybe it was older, but it came out last month and I know one of the history channels recreated the Antikythera mechanism. I amy have spelled that incorrectly. Sorry.
The Phaistos Disk is most likely an analogue of the Rosetta stone. It contains 2 separate symbol writing systems, Cretan Heiroglyphs and Linear A - so the prevailing theory is that it is a singular inscription written twice to aid translation as Cretan Heiroglyphs and Linear A represent 2 overlapping periods of ancient Crete history.
Looks like a pagan calendar.. has a moon and beehives as well as various harvest based symbols . sacrificial calendar for festivities and harvest. Not that hard to figure, people thinking too hard. It made it easy for some one who had trouble remembering the occasions / Was made sacred and used only by the royals who could only have a copy to control the masses . ect ect. But a Calendar none the less.
I wonder how many of these mysteries have been thoroughly researched before the making of this video, I found a dozen that have their facts totally wrong, for example the Ulfberht Swords, the vikings do not have much to do with these, although many of the swords were found in scandinavia that is simply proof of a flourishing trade in the early middle ages, they are of franconian / germanian origin, and although they have been high quality steel products they are nowhere near as unbelievably advanced as suggested here. In fact, there was a trade embargo at one time, that forbade trade of these to enemy countries and specifically the vikings, so many contemporary fakes with misspellings were forged.
Has the origin of the sword been found yet? I saw a documentary about reforging the sword not too long ago, so there is a modern version, but they said we don't know for sure where the sword originated from. They did explain the fakes though, but also there I believe they were unsure if it was an actual fake or just spelled differently.
all of them and this youtuber clearly does not know how to research anything because every thing he said about scientist not knowing how it was done is bullshit this is just sensational wow porn
#15 - There was no such thing as singular 'Damascus blade'. You probably meant weapons made of 'Damascus steel' that were allegedly superior to any other weapons. And the modern metallurgists reproduced the 'wootz steel' that appears to be a regular crucible steel - a great achievement at the time, but nothing outstanding today. Juicy Topic - Yes, scientists can't explain why the ancient legends don't correspond to reality, sure... #14 - Are you serious? Any flammable liquid that is less dense than water burns over the water surface just fine. There are substances that get hot in contact with water (e.g. lime) or ignite when wet (e.g. sodium). There are many modern interpretations of Greek and Byzantine Fire (they are two different things - one was used in an flamethrower equivalent, the other was igniting in contact with water) made with the ingredients available in 7th century (the first attested usage of this weapon). We simply don't know what particular recipe has been used back then. And no, Greek fire has not been lost in 1453 - it has not been produced for few centuries back then. #13 - It is almost certain that this is a falsificate. Voynich was a well-educated man, who got his scientific background in chemistry (worked as a pharmacist in his youth), experiences in forgery (he belonged to an underground independence movement, where he forged official documents) and had a wide knowledge of languages and history thanks to extensive self-study. He was also an successful antiquarian what gave him not only a lot of money but an access to clean or discarded medieval parchment. With his knowledge of chemistry and methods of making ink and paints, access to materials, linguistic skills, a lot of time on his hands and penchant for academic pranks, he had means, motive and opportunity. It is not the only one book of that kind - Luigi Serafini created similar Codex Seraphinianus, but he did not hide its modern origin. #12 - It has been known for quite some time that Antikythera Mechanism was a very complex astronomic machine used to track the movement of moon and known planets, making it easier to synchronize the solar and lunar calendars or predicting the eclipses. #11 - Zhang Heng's seismograph is a pretty simple mechanism that has been reconstructed numerous times. The device was meticulously leveled and then metal balls were positioned in the state of unstable equilibrium so when propelled by a heavy pendulum set off by even the light vibration, they started to fall, sounding an alarm (the frogs are hollow and act as a good resonator). Chinese were pretty accustomed to earthquakes, so for them, it was a practical tool. #10 - The Ulfberht swords are not of Scandinavian origin, as they most likely originated from somewhere in Francia, more or less corresponding to modern Rhineland in Western Germany. Furthermore, there is nothing exceptional to them - they significantly vary in quality. Some are made of crucible steel, some are made of bloomery iron. They are all good weapons, but as I said, nothing exceptional. The only mystery is the meaning of the 'Ulfberht' word. #9 - Well, it not that no one knows where the Iron Pillar came from. It bears an original inscription that states openly, that this item has been made on orders of king Kumaragupta I to honour Vishnu and commemorate king Candragupta II. Its resistance to rust (not complete, the pillar is visibly oxidized when one looks closely) has been analyzed 10 years ago and attributed to a high phosphorus content that caused the formation of iron phosphate layer, protecting it from penetrating rust, especially in warm, dry climate. #8 - This one is actually mysterious. The text has not been deciphered yet (there are suggestions that it is some unknown variant of the linear A script) and its authenticity has not been confirmed. #7 - It's not that scientists are baffled by these items. They simply don't know what was their purpose. Which is curious, because not written source mentions them, suggesting it must have been something really common. #6 - Given the number and differences in size, it is generally accepted that this was a common decoration in buildings, possibly of ritual importance. But given that there is no written evidence concerning them, we will most likely never know the details. #5 - There is no mystery whatsoever. Codex Gigas is just a compendium of religious and lay text, quite common to the era where it has been created. It is just bigger than most contemporary specimen, as it was meant to be kind of religious encyclopedia. The illustration of the Devil is also perfectly understood as the previous page contains the analogous image of the Heavenly Kingdom. So, no mystery, just a juxtaposition of Heaven and Hell, a common trope in medieval art. #4 - This is another genuine mystery. Mostly because it has been discovered not that long ago (1986) and their size and submerged location make the examination a long and complex process. But the lack of any interior generally suggests natural origin, despite elaborate shape, much like in the case of Dimmuborgir in Iceland or Giant's Causeway in Ireland. #3 - With the level of sophistication of the Indian ancient literature it only stands to reason that the authors were using their imagination to make their deities even more exotic and thus worthy of reverence. It is a form of religious science-fiction if you will. #2 - The skeletons of Mohenjo-Daro referenced here do not show any unusual radiation levels. This misconception comes from 'Technology of the Gods' by David Childress (2000) who stated that the bones have shown 50 times the 'normal' radiation amount. This dates back to report of William Mayneord from 1960 who stated that radiation levels were not different that those found in Egypt. Two Russian physicians, Alexandr Lebedinsky and Yuri Nefedov challenged this in their 1962 paper, stating that the Indian remains shown 50% higher radiation level (again, nothing unusual, there are places where background radiation is way higher than in the others). This has been garbled by Childress, resulting in the strange allegations. The skeletons also bear the marks of physical trauma consistent with usage of weapons, suggesting a massacre (possibly of caravan workers attacked by bandits, as the place was a ruin for centuries by then). #1 - This is not that strange - a small chamber made of hard stone with a domed ceiling have good acoustic properties. It is generally believed that this place was used for divination, to create an eerie sound effect, increasing the mystery of the ritual.
Its ok the viking blades he mentions are similiar. The myster isn't how it was made yet again they sorted that out, its the fact its very very close to damascus steel, back when India wasn't really connected to EU. Its was speculated that vikings doing long distance raids discovered the cruicble forge technique and broght it back for those swords. The guy who stole it kept it a secret and made a brand name for himself using it. But you can recreate the metal in the swords with a simple cruicible forge, wich at time was way way ahead of the times for EU weapons.
The iron pillar in India was manufactured by the forge welding of pieces of wrought iron. In a report published in the journal Current Science, R. Balasubramaniam of the IIT Kanpur explains how the pillar's resistance to corrosion is due to a passive protective film at the iron-rust interface. The presence of second-phase particles (slag and unreduced iron oxides) in the microstructure of the iron, that of high amounts of phosphorus in the metal, and the alternate wetting and drying existing under atmospheric conditions are the three main factors in the three-stage formation of that protective passive film. (Wikipedia)
The dry hot climate in India has a lot to do with its preservation as well. Constant moisture is what deteriorates iron. The hot arid area it is located at ensures the sun fully and quickly dries any wetness the iron may be exposed to, which is essentially the same as wiping off any dust or dirt and a natural upkeep that is maintaining the pillar instead of corroding it.
The Antikythera mechanism has been explained years ago. It predicted solar and lunar eclipses, celestial alignments, etc... Many documentaries on the subject.
So true! UA-cam is beginning to wreak of SUCK. THEY ALSO ARE TRYING TO GET ME TO BUY A SUBSCRIPTION TO UA-cam. I WILL NOT! I will quit UA-cam before buying a subscription.

I've been using it for over 2 years now.
Most of the things mentioned here are well known and fully understood, a quick search on Wikipedia will suffice to convince you of it. The only mysteries that remains - for some of them - are how where they made at the time with the tools at their disposal?
Exactly, like The Antikythera mechanism, being an amateur horologist and having to cut clock gears by hand with modern saws and files is hard enough, and to do it precisely, you need a magnifier of some sort. it blows the mind trying to figure out how they built this by hand with out modern tools and magnification. And according to Scientists, it had 37 meshing bronze gears enabling it to follow the movements of the Moon and the Sun through the zodiac, to predict eclipses and to model the irregular orbit of the Moon, where the Moon's velocity is higher in its perigee than in its apogee, It was beyond ingenious for it's time to be able to determine what gear to drive another set of gears to get the mathematical calculations for Their astronomical figures to get the results They needed, this would be hard enough to make correctly now with modern technology let alone 100 years B.C. It's really mind boggling.
*Fabrice Delaneau* This is not a mystery. The ancient Greek computer, called "the Antikythera mechanism", can only be the result of even more ancient knowledge. Not because the ancient Greeks were incapable to build such a machine (of course they were capable), but because the amazing information provided by this mechanism for the motion of the planets (including Kepler's laws), does not belong to the time it was built (200 B.C.). In my opinion, the ancient Greeks had access to even more ancient texts of their ancestors, perhaps from the time before the great flood, when knowledge and technology were like today or even more advanced. Unfortunately, as we all know, most of the ancient Greek literature is been destroyed, while another important part is hidden in the basements of the Vatican.
@@j.armstrong9021 The Antikythera Mechanism isn't that crazy; while the Mechanism has the oldest preserved European gears, there are Chinese examples more than 300 years older. Similarly, the principle of analogue computing (creating a physical analogy to observed mechanisms) are exhibited in the astrolabe, a device which is about a century older and has almost 1000 separate uses.
The composition of Greek fire remains a matter of speculation and debate, with various proposals including combinations of pine resin, naphtha, quicklime, calcium phosphide, sulfur, or niter. In his history of Rome, Titus Livy describes priestesses of Bacchus dipping fire into the water, which did not extinguish, "for it was sulphur mixed with lime."
Yeah there's a vast difference between "we don't know the precise blend of materials, but it was several flammable things mixed together" and "scientists can't explain it"
Exactly you can do a gheto form with gas, and orange juice heavy on the pulp. Its in the anarchist cookbook. There is really no limit to what they could used to make it that is the mystery really, the recipe is gone forever but the number of things that could been used is pretty high.
well it predict earthquakes in the micro seconds to detects motion right before the bigger seismic waves hit..so if you have a seismograph when you see it starting to go crazy.. you know the big one is coming in the next second!!! so it predicts an earthquake in a not so useful way..LOL
When it takes you up to a week to find out about one that hit in distance it is. They didn't have internet or telegraph cables the point was it would "predict" where and when one was happening. They could use that to know there was a earthquake hours or days before any messenger ever reached them.
Probably said here before, but sea levels have risen ever since Ice Age started to melt. Underwater structures that could be man could have been made when sea levels were lower. Then melting ice increased water levels and covered the structures. The thing between 15 and 14 that's alleged to create electricity, could it be a lightning rod?
correction: 2:17 its not buddhist tool it's a Hindu word called VAZRA the weapon of Lord Indra, King of Heaven. The weapon you see is a model of that weapon...
well most of the stuff in this list is garbage ......begining with the very first in the list woots steel is not a mystery and same with most of the other things in this BS list .....maybe this guy duznt understand them but whateva.
He lied about all of it, they can remake wootz, and the viking sword brand was just damscus steel they stole the concept of crucible smelting in a long distance raid. Hardest part today is sorting out if it was one guy or not who used the brand and the fancy steel, but it is clear the steel did die out, so they didn't pass it on any further then maybe one generation. And the computer was for astrology its gears were in sync with movements of the moon, and other astral bodies. It was clock in essence for tracking the moon cycle, and position of things they used for astrology.
@@Zalzany You are 100% wrong about Vikings stealing the Damascus steel technique from middle easterners. The Vikings never traveled into the middle east. That is heavily known by all. It is called evolution. Research and development. Crucible steel that the Vikings crafted was done so in the crucible using charcoal to deplete all oxygen in the crucible, making the heavy minerals more dense. I should add, the ore came from rich veins and deposits from Germany. I've been working with metal for over 30 years. I have forged, crafted and engineered a lot of concepts, structures and tools. I hate history misinformation. But there is tons of it.

VAJRA: Judging by their names, at least three of the respondents on the Vajra are probably of Indian or South Asian origin. And their comments are completely valid from a Hindu perspective. Buddhists, on the other hand, have a slightly different view of the meaning of the Vajra. Quick factoid: Buddhism grew out of what we now call the Vedic (Hindu) world of Northern India over 2,500 years ago......not dissimilar to how Christianity grew out of Judaism. And the Buddhism of Tibet is broadly referred to as VAJRAyana Buddhism. The word Vajra can be translated as diamond or lightning, and yana being way or path. So the diamond path. In this case it is the lightning bolt of wisdom. In terms of the ritual object, the brass or bronze Vajra, (Dorje in Tibetan), is an everyday practice instrument that is often used in conjunction with a small hand drum (damaru/sp?), and brass bell (ghanta). The bell itself has a half vajra as its handle. These are not the only ritual practice instruments that practitioners would have, but they are the most common and basic. (Monasteries would often have larger horns, drums and cymbals). I was given permission to practice with these instruments by a Vajrayana lama 30 years ago. I have never once heard of them to (literally) be used to generate house current. Of course, if they led to someone reaching enlightenment, that would indeed be a lightning bolt occasion, I would think!
vajra means skeleton, To kill a demon who had a boon that he cannot be killed by any astras /shastras , A sage skeleton was used as he had a boon that his skeleton is unbreakable, so thus his bones was used to build a weapon which was used by Indra to kill the demon. From there on, it became Indra's primary weapon. The weapon is similar to the one used by thor and zeus to attract lightning,
A bit add-on I'd like to do here.. really nice to hear genuine comments on Vajra like yours 👌🏻👍🏻 Hindu is/was more a civilization or a huge community along the Indus/Sindhu river. So, hindu consists of 4-5 Indian school of thoughts combined out of 7 that is studied in Indian philosophy currently academically. Vedic i guess would be Vedanta tradition which was one of the highest doctrine among them.. Vedas had enormous knowledge, wisdom, and skills in different branches of studies! Within Hindu philosophies, there's Vedanta, Mimamsa, Samkhya, Yoga, Nyaya.. as known still today! They all considered as asthik or those who believe in autonomous independent substantial self or self as the highest consciousness to realise and practice. What they called as aatma and they believe all atmaan will converge into one as pramatmaan or the universe or the ultimate god. On the other hand, we have left with three other Indian school of thoughts who were called as nasthik or those who believe in no self or selflessness. Technically speaking, there's the label self which is the conventional truth and in the ultimate reality, there's no self or emptiness of objective self is to be realised. They rejected the existence of objective self and thus called nasthik or the opposite side of others. Three schools are: Buddhism, Jainism, and Charvakas. Interestingly, Charvakas were the ancient materialist Indians who believed in nothing spiritual but eat, sleep, and have fun kinda lifestyle as their ultimate goal. Thus, it died slowly as a school but most people do that only these days if I'm not wrong! 🥴 On the other hand, we can find lots of scripts and teachings in Buddhism where there are lots of dialogues and debates between Buddhist monks and other school's monks like Vedantas and that's how they evolved together debating logically and effectively among each other! That's why these are called dialogue religions as there's and there has been lots of intense dialogues and debates and it's still going on even today in authentic institutes. We're lucky to be born around such profound traditions and wisdom as vast as an ocean! Nalanda University has been the top pioneer of wisdom and repositories of those profound concepts and books. It's still preserved well and that's how Tibetan Buddhism came up out of it but unfortunately, Nalanda were destroyed soon after it spread towards Tibet! Earlier, Indians were the gurus and Tibetans and all other nations came to learn from here. Now, Tibetans are gurus and Indians and other nations are chelas and we can spread the Nalanda tradition again 😀✌🏻🌱
Actually, the Buddhism of Tibet is broadly referred to as Tibetan Buddhism. Vajrayana or Diamond Way is a branch of that, and it is lead by the Karmapas. Most people associate Buddhism with the Dalai Lama who is the leader of a different branch. The Diamond Way was taught by the historic Buddha to a small number of highly intelligent people only.
People make wootz steel all the time in the forging community, it's made using a crucible, you can even buy in billet form. Not a mystery and definitely has been solved by science 😂
Years before this video was made there are two things that have been solved or understood if you will. Greek fire and the Voynich Manuscript. The Voynich Manuscript is a medical manual written in an ancient Turkish dialect. Greek fire was just saltpeter aka potassium nitrate a powerful oxidizing agent. It was lit on fire then launched at an enemy ship. The pitch and wood of the deck. it was a time honored tradition to cover the decks of wooden ships in tar or pine pitch. When the projectile, usually a clay container with the mouth sealed by cloth which was set afire and that fire quickly spread to the saltpeter, which will burn by itself, hit the wooden deck balls of burning saltpeter spread across the deck of the ship. The wood and pitch which melted as the balls of burning saltpeter skittered across the deck did not ignite, or the crew didn't throw buckets of water on them, then a ship equipped a device called a siphon would spray water on the target ship. The reaction was an explosion of fast moving and hot burning fire because as the potassium nitrate burned it concentrated the potassium which burns when exposed to air and explodes in water when pure. The pitch and the wood then provided fuel to keep the fire burning hot. For years scientists and historians overlooked the obvious. As a teenager a friend and I played with potassium nitrate by lighting it on fire ans watching it burn a track across a piece of plywood. At one point it started to ignite the wood so I spit on it and was rewarded by a huge concussion and a flash fire as a reaction. We put it out by smothering it with dirt. That and having some knowledge of sailing a wooden sailboat, is how I know what Greek fire actually was. The scientists tried to combine the pitch, wood and saltpeter, not knowing that only the saltpeter was absent for the wooden desk of a warship. It's the old fire safety triangle, fuel+ air+ ignition source = fire. Cut off one of the three and the fire goes out, but saltpeter, aka potassium nitrate produces its own oxygen as the nitrates burn, leaving a potassium rich and very hot residue in the ball of fire, that reacts violently with water. Don't try this at home!
Apart from the phosphorus level that is over 10 times that of a modern steel, the level of impurities in the pillar is generally low, which is typical of ancient wrought iron. A high phosphorus iron ore was clearly used, and this element contaminated the product. As a result, a very thin dark grey protective layer of crystalline iron hydrogen phosphate has formed on the surface of the pillar, which is the reason for its resistance to corrosion.

@@ASavageEye never been to India but with a place that big the humidly levels would differ a lot by area. did you just go to a dry part and they are from wetter parts?
@@NuclearLama Well honestly I never considered that. India is as you said a large country with central desert like areas and lots of coast. I am sure the humidity changes at different times of the year too, as it does in most countries. Thing is I have seen many pillars like these in various parts of India and they all have a similar lack of rust. As the OP points out they are very old and some older techniques of smelting and ironwork do produce much purer metals than what is found in later centuries. Its all too tough to call as to the exact cause of it but humidity levels DO play a big part. Ah hell maybe there is some secret society keeping them clean lol
I have vajra smuggled from tibet, along with the oral traditions about them. One point the video got wrong is calling them weapons- there was a version of vajra with the tines (the metal lines at each end-think long spikes) pointing OUTWARD when it was a brutal weapon which would tear flesh off BUT the versions shown and the modern ones have the tines all connected inward to symbolize peace by "disarming" a weapon, an action performed by ancient Bön shaman. Also, the vid didn't mention the hundreds of mentions of vajra in Indian sacred texts speaking of it as a lightening bolt thrower. Re energy or electricity, the shaman say it is a transceiver one end sends the other received. A spiritual radio basically in it's peaceful form. Re electricity I have one with meteoric iron in the center from tip to tip. (Meteorite are more common to find at such a high height and we're saved as gifts from the sky and the iron used for sacred items. Iron placed under the sudden directional stress of hitting the earth causes it to become magnetic) This means the shape is almost a perfect representation of a magnetic field. The shaman say it can receive spiritual energies and send them with the center acting as an amplifier. If you see any Tibetan lama in one hand is the kartika or bell (used in mantras to keep people awake) and in the other is the vajra. He didn't mention phurba, "magic demon killing dagger". I have two, one huge ceremonial one with meteoric core and silver the other a small one all of meteoric iron. It is hand sized and was used to kill demons. I've tested all of the above with a sensitive magnetometer which showed magnetic fields on all, strongest on the small phurba, also indications of a very high frequency electric or electromagnetic field around the vajra. Wish I could add pics. If there's interest, I'll put some up in a public album.
I believe the structure under water in Japan is a quarry, utilized when sea levels were much lower. Earthquakes could also have shifted the site to sink as well.
welcome to youtube. Hint: any video that Titled (number) (things) that (outragous claim) are all BS. especially ones where they read the script do flat and quick they misspeak common words.
If you read Hanuman Chalisa that was written centuries ago , you will find the distance between the sun and the earth ... Much before our modern scientists calculated it..
Well that's a flat lie... the "earthquake detector that science cannot explain" is an extremely rudimentary motion detector with a pendulum suspended between eight levers, each attached to one dragon's lower jaw on the outside of the jar. Earthquake swings pendulum, pendulum hits lever, lever opens dragon's jaw, causing the ball it was retaining to drop into the toad's mouth below with a loud clink. Literally the same principle as a bell suspended from a doorframe so the door hits the bell when opened, announcing someone coming into the store.
The antikythera mechanism, we know what it does and what it was used for.. The pillar of Delhi, we know when it was constructed and who did it (or at least commissioned it). Not hating, it's full of interesting stuff but dang bro, a quick search and voila...
7:02 It's well established that this device was used to track Planet and Moon relative to the Sun on one facing and on the reverse showed which Star Sign (if you believe in them) was currently in 'vogue'.

correction: 2:17 its not buddhist tool its the hindu astra(weapon)used by Indra which can produce lightning and is one of the most destructive holy weapon. : )
I was gonna comment that too. The story had it...Lord Indra was so jealous of popularity of Lord Buddha. So Indra threw the Vajra at Buddha but Buddha being the incarnation of Lord Bishnu...he blocked the Vajra with his index finger...and hurt it during the process. The wound was infected and manifested with maggots. Chickens helped stopping of infection by eating the maggots and eventually the wound was healed. This the reason for true Buddhist people not eating chicken.
people show how people think people are bound by time because of what people know now but inventions are from people, not time alone. Personal intelligence and creativity just is. It's timeless. Many things have been and can be lost in time just like that.
We hindus refer to this as vajrayudha and buddhists refer to it as vajra, a tool or a setup that can generate enromous amounts of energy. Both the religions have deep connections. @ishaan
Okinawans are laughing at every one freaking out over their rock quarries just off shore of the islands. Unlike volcanic islands, the Ryukyu Islands are made from ancient coral beds. Coral is easy to cut. The Ryukyu islanders used these blocks of coral for constructing buildings and fences. Shuri Castle is entirely made out of cut coral blocks. Remember, Okinawans are quite comfortable in the water. Okinawa is also famous for its pearl divers who can stay submerged for well over a minute.

If you were to give replicas of the gear wheels within the AntiKythera device to an horologist, after counting the teeth, they would probably tell you that the gears were part of some sort of clock or celestial calendar without much hesitation. This is because mechanical clocks always use the same easily recognised gear tooth numbers and very particular gear ratios to represent fixed units of time related to planetary orbits around the sun and other celestial mechanics. What the device is, is rather obvious, who made it however, will probably always remain a mystery as the Romans made a point of looting 'shiny things' from all over the known world without making a note of where they got them from.
The guy you see in the video about the antikythera devise was actually the R&D director of Hublot (Swiss watch brand). And we do know perfectly the purpose of this machine. It was used to predict astronomical positions and eclipses decades in advance. Your guess was right :). Fun fact, Hublot did a miniature replica of this machine.

Vimanas were made by King Ravana who lived in Sri Lanka. He was known as a genius who knew 10 different subjects including how to build aircrafts. Vimana Shastra which describes how to build planes, what should pilots wear etc are clearly described in there by him. It was translated by Indians and now everyone talk about it as it originated from India. It would be nice to give credit to the original authors. Not only that king Ravana was a pedestrian. He wrote Kumara Thantra which describes how a baby can be taken care of and what an expecting mom should do. Another one King Ravana wrote is Ravana samhitha. It’s about astrology as he is known to have visited other planets. All these got translated in India and everyone talk about them as things originated in India. It’s okay to use his books but would have been nice if credit is given to the great scholar Ravana who was the king of Lanka.
There was no Srilanka at that time..! It's india still.. The food, genetics, languages, culture is Indian Infact.. It's really unfortunate and it is due to colonial powers that Srilanka isn't a part of India.. Its an island just 30 km away from Indian mainland..

Phospher can stick & also can burn spontaneously it can be found in seawater & sometimes washes up on beaches or is found by divers in old war time shipwrecks as it was used in weapons. It looks a bit like old cheese. If you pick it up it can burst into flames & it will stick to you & burn you & can sometimes burn even underwater. That would rather seem to explain the Greek Fire.

They discovered examples of meteoric iron being forged prior to metallurgy advancing to the iron age. It's not a mystery, just a fun curiosity that yes, a few people did have iron weapons in beta before the public release date.
A lot of people have this misconception that the iron age means that people haven't discovered iron yet. Rather the iron age means that iron working became widespread

As it has 8 even points on each end, I believe it was also used as a fixed legend for distance measurement on scrolls.
The greek computer is a sun,moon,and 5 planet rotating device. It runs on a 19 year cycle. Of course the sun revolved around the earth. Amazing tech. Very technical device.
Greek Fire isn't all that difficult to duplicate, we simply can't know what it was back then. Oil is lighter than water and thus floats on the waters surface and is quite sticky. Adding some other materials to it gives it properties that prevent putting it out (white phosphorous would be an example) wouldn't be difficult. Most pyrophoric materials are also water reactive so ANY pyrophoric material that they discovered could have used to create Greek Fire. Iron Sulfide would be another possibility among many (though many are also modern mixtures as far as is known). By the way, the work Pyrophoric is from Greek which is quite fitting. USMC Ordnanceman
@@edmaher3612 I'm not sure they used pyrophoric materials on Japan (and the European theater) in WWII. More likely pyrotechnic (won't extinguish with fire because they contain their own oxidizers but not auto igniting in oxygen) or a napalm type fuel thickener.
Key thing is it was weaponized and the recipe, you can make gheto napalm with orang juice, but for combat grade there is a dozen reciepes they could used all which burned on water issue is we don't know how long it burned, or how hot, so all we can do is guess on what recipe was.
@@hamskoolie9706 All I know is it was standard incendiary bombs, and the cities were made of wood so they did more damage then then the nukes short term at least. But the nukes were just so much worse for the survivors. More died to the fire bombs then the nukes, but more lives were ruined by the nukes...
@@Zalzany Never heard of OJ being used for "ghetto napalm". Styrofoam beads from "bean bag" chairs works well. As does any styrofoam disolved in gasoline. After all, the purpose of napalm was to thicken fuel. It was inert itself so the banned napalm was actually less deadly than the "humane" replacements.
Ulfberht was a craftsman who made swords for royals and high ranking soldiers. This crafts men would keep his hand selected metal on a fire in a sealed container attached to a secondary container for an entire week. The lighter metal rise to the top and collect in the secondary container. The crafts men would then use the heavier metal to make swords.
The roman dodecahedrons allow poles to be interlocked to produce a special tent frame. The knobs allow the poles to be tied in place. There is a modern toy with the same geometry and a modern tent company makes a version from plastic.
Good theory! It could even be used to put burning materials in and then they could launch them from trebuchets. The metal would make them destroy the material it would impact very easy and it would also keep the inertia on a battle field and also it would be very bouncy and dangerous. So imho it could be a very dangerous tool on the battlefield :)
No it isn't. It's a tool for knitting gloves. They're still in use today. You can buy them online and there are plenty of UA-cam tutorials on how to use it.
The vajra is the weapon of Indra in Hinduism who is the god of thunder and rain idk if it is in Buddhism too but it could be as Buddhism derived from Hinduism and the vajra is said to be made from bones of a priest u could say

Most of them are explained and he just never said what science said about them like the steel, and the viking swords wich is just vikings making cruicible steel before rest of EU lol
12:47 Roman Dodecahedra - it looks to me that you put some incents/perfume/herbs in it (perfume would be on some spongy material) , hence one hole on top is bigger. It is decorative, but the standoffs kept it off the surface and added extra vent area (so it doesn't rest on its surface). As incents were expensive, people would take this with them to different room/part of the house. Round points at the corners mean that this thing was picked up by hand often. These could also be used in a bath (just don't sit on it lol).
Vajra means thunderbolt or lightening or diamantine. They were purely symbolic with zero electricity generating ability. They represent the irreducible essence of all wisdom & hence all phenomena.
We know perfectly well what the Antikythera mechanism is for, and have built a worlign replica. Its used to predict full moons eclipses and some comet returns. \We know this because of the gear ratios. Theres only one reason you would use gears with teeth numbers that match natural astronomical cycles - 30, 60, 54, 13, 254.
Kris, there is lots of information out there on the Anithykera mechanism. It took decades to determine what it was, because the metal was so corroded by the salt water, and was a giant blob of metal. It took the invention of MRI technology to be able to look inside, and see all the gears, and figure out the mathematics. Also, the Greek government conservationists severely limited access to the pieces for decades as well. When scientists were finally able to actually "see" what there was, it became fairly clear, and not really too surprising that the information and sophistication existed that long ago. What was more perplexing was the capacity of the craftsman of the day to manufacture the gears to the accuracy and precision that they did, given the manufacturing methods of the time. As others have commented, it was an astronomical calendar, astrolabe?? Useful for navigation, tide prediction, almanac (agricultural) calendars, and ultimately, time (they knew that one year was actually a smidge more than one year). Lots of info on the web, from two or three minute videos, to a 500+ page book that I read, that was fascinating!! Happy learning!
Ah the British, they are responsible for give the world more independence days than any other country. But name a country that has has not taken from another, you can't. Some take more than others is an understatement
Russian metallurgist Pavel Petrovich Anosov (see Bulat steel) was almost able to reproduce ancient Wootz steel with nearly all of its properties and the steel he created was very similar to traditional Wootz. He documented four different methods of producing Wootz steel that exhibited traditional patterns. He died before he could fully document and publish his research. Oleg Sherby and Jeff Wadsworth and Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory have all done research, attempting to create steels with characteristics similar to Wootz, but without success. J.D Verhoeven and Alfred Pendray reconstructed methods of production, proved the role of impurities of ore in the pattern creation, and reproduced Wootz steel with patterns microscopically and visually identical to one of the ancient blade patterns. Reibold et al.'s analyses spoke of the presence of carbon nanotubes enclosing nanowires of cementite, with the trace elements/impurities of vanadium, molybdenum, chromium etc. contributing to their creation, in cycles of heating/cooling/forging. This resulted in a hard high carbon steel that remained malleable[30] There are other smiths who are now consistently producing Wootz steel blades visually identical to the old patterns.[31] Steel manufactured in Kutch particularly enjoyed a widespread reputation, similar to those manufactured at Glasgow and Sheffield.[8]
Wootz and what we call damascus are made differently as what we call damascus is just pattern welded steel and we do know how to make real damascus a.k.a. wootz steel I just forget how it is made

Just a little headsup regarding the number 1 entry. The footage doesn't show the Hypogeum of Hal Saflieni but the Imnajdra Temples in Qrendi (Also in Malta).
Greek fire is likely based on a composition of naphtha and limestone turned to quicklime in a furnace. The iron pillar was treated with an agent similar to gun blueing, creating black magnetite rust rather than the orange iron oxide rust we're more familiar with. The Hypogeum entry was interesting, being as I was there on dozens of occasions as a kid and never heard of, nor saw demonstrated, any particular resonance or sound magnification. There has been extensive archeological and renovation work conducted there over the last three decades though. I'll have to go visit again and try it out. All I used to do there was clamber around exploring, before it was ever fenced and renovation efforts started. Some of the list entries are long shots and others are quite well understood at this point. The antikythera mechanism, for example, was an early astronomical device, incredibly clever but not beyond our understanding at this point. The writings, books, discs and manuscripts are the really interesting ones to me.
Greek fire isn't known there is like 12 ways they could done it with their tech level. You can make poor mans napalm using orange juice as key ingredent. And there is a ton of recipe ideas out there all saying it must been it including one that used limes and sulfar, wich also would have worked the same as US munctions guide that had a recipe with OJ in it lol
@@Zalzany Napalm is polystyrene in petroleum. Although you can use ping pong balls too. Greek fire was worse when water was added, which for the time period means quick lime and naphthalene could be collected in buckets without refining. So it's the most probable theory for Greek fire.
@@onehandbehind343 Good thing I never said "not understood by modern scientists" then. Also you can fail to understand but recreate it 12 diffrent ways, but still fail to understand how they did it. Its nothing more then just theories on how they did it. there is a ton of experts as well on Napalm but really making water burn, and burn for decent time has a lot of options available.
@@Si74l0rd Napalm is more of expression then a propper noun when used to describe greek fire it simply means it had similar principles to it. And yet again there is a ton of ways to create a substance that floats, and burns on water, oil is the simplest one that comes to mind, but many flamable materials exist just like many sources of oils exist. For instance a grease fire is not made with petroleum and if you try to use water to put it out it simply spreads the fire more. There is way more substances that can be used like one theory is olive oil mixture. But people keep going with petroleum based theories going "well maybe they used crude oil?" Its like yeah or tar, just like peat moss and other things are pretty flammable and people don't realize it
Yeah so does a ton of things, issue is no one knows the EXACT recipe there is a dozen ideas what it was and yes your so smart almost all have some kind of oil in it lol

PLEASE NOTE: Yes, I'm aware that relatively recently from the point in time that you're reading this, some group or some person has claimed to have craced the Voynich Manuscript but just like every other time it died out shortly as it didn't hold up as they got further into it. If this notice is still on this coment when a FULLY CRACKED AND READABLE VERSION IS PUBLICLY AVALIABLE please inform me about it. Until then, please spare me the "Vonyich has been solved" comments if you aren't even gonna look past the first headline that says "some random people claim to have figured it out". Just a question, doesn't it strike you as slightly odd that after all the experts failed it's always a Slavic person talking about ancient Slavic scripts or something like that? It's always someones own ancient culture who has the solution.
Somewhat detailed explanation of every big fault in this video.
15. Wootz steel is explained and can be replicated. Also those blades can not cut through rifle barrels any better than any other curved blade could. Again, the method of how to make wootz steel is well known today and as far as I can tell this was figured out many decades before this video was released.
"Juicy Topic": Simply explained by those fables being just that. Stories. There are no reliable records of it so yes the stories are all nonsense.
14. Greek Fire, it's ability to burn on water is not even a proven fact but even then, just because we don't know the exact composition of Greek Fire that the Byzantines used that doesn't mean we don't know ways of how it could be done. Some materials that it might have been made out of include pine resin, naphtha, quicklime, calcium phosphide, sulfur, or niter. We know how to make something similar but we simply don't know the exact composition.
13. The Voynich Manuscript while unexplained is NOT dated to any time era what so ever. All we know is that the book existed before Wilfred Yoynich purchased it in 1912. Yes the parchment it is written on has been dated to the early 15th century but that does not confirm that the writing or illustrations are from that time period. There is almost 500 years of time between the date it was purchased and the date the parchment was made. That's a lot of time. Now yes this is still an unexplained mystery but the answer could be anything including "It was written and illustrated in the mid to late 1800s and some individual or group had made up their own language for their own reasons." Personally this sounds pretty reasonable as any language is difficult to understand without some basic words to start out with but again I don't know and NOBODY does. Until this manuscript is confirmed to have been from the far distant past (not just 100-150 years ago) and the "language" inside is actually confirmed to hold actual meaning it still isn't gonna convince me of civilization from 500 years ago holding knowledge of the future or holding knowledge of worlds we don't know about or something like that. This could literally just be the insane writings of an insane mind or it could simply be fiction. Remember that things in books don't have to be real.
12. The Antikythera mechanism, again long before this video was made we had this admittedly peculiar object figured out. It has been described as an analogue computer but make no mistake in thinking it is anything like computers of today. It isn't. This is not taking away from the craftsmanship and ingenuity that went into making this mechanism though. It was used to predict and follow the movement of the Sun and Moon through the zodiac and it was used to predict eclipses. Similar things have been found in different regions and time eras as well and though the knowledge about what this thing is was forgotten at some point it was never truly lost.
11. The Seismoscope. Here I could again go into detail but that's not really necessary, it's the same deal as with Greek Fire, it was possible to do we simply don't know the exact method used. This does not mean we don't have ideas for how it could have been done at the time. Most of the information I found about it being something we can't replicate precisely today is regarding the accuracy of the original. The "first" seismoscope. Well we don't have that one to test and all we have are stories about it which could have been greatly exaggerated or simply not accounted for coincidence. I also don't think most surviving seismoscopes are up for deconstruction.
10. Ulfberht Swords. Dude are you kidding me? If every weapon ever described as unbeatable in battle truly was unbeatable in battle wars would simply end up being never ending. Uflberht swords were made by several different methods but all of them methods know at the time and known today. The only part of these swords that can be considered "shrouded in mystery" would be the inscriptions in the blades and who made them. The blade isn't made of "so pure metal that it seems impossible to have been made before the industrial revolution". It was COMMONLY available only a few decades after the oldest finds. Also the actual materials and methods of crafting the swords is different from piece to piece. Some are done in one way, others in another, some with material from one region others from material from elsewhere. It seems like it simply was a blacksmith looking to create the best possible quality he could at the time and presumably his family followed in his footsteps.
Ya know what? I've watched through about half of the video and dismantled a third of the claims simply by reading the first few pages on google. If you want to know every other way this video is just completely inaccurate and misleading: just keep watching the video and every new piece of technology he names pause the video and google it, read up on it and then continue the video and you'll just scream internally.
Thank you rift!!!

I got to the start of the Voynich Manuscript, and had enough. Horrible video.
The swords have been solved. They traced the ore for the steel to the Middle East. A mine thirty kilometers outside of Damascus.
@@kevinbrooks4993 The Ulfberhts?
Modern metalurgists and blacksmiths tend to agree that the ability of the Indian region smiths were able to produce Wootz due to the source ore they used containing the element Vanadium and not due to some magical formula they kept secret. Not to take anything away from their skills. To be able to produce such high quality alloy was amazing considering they had no technology to test and verify materials like today. Its believed that the "secret" of Wootz died out because the Vanadium containing ore from their mine played out and they no longer could make the steel without it. Look up work by Dr. John Verhoeven for more info.
What if we melt it down and measure the % of each element present than recreate that exact % mixture with purer products on a hotter furnace than they had access to? It might be alot better than they could even make it.
Wootz has been "rediscovered" by Al Pendray in 1981. We now have great samples of people reproducing it, the top notch being Alchemy Steels in Finland (which has the same refinement as the real deal). A metallurgy professor actually explained to me exactly how it forms. So Wootz is understood now.
The "Roman Dodecahedron" is a tool for knitting that is still in use today. Not a mystery at all. I honestly only clicked on this video to read the comments debunking it. So thanks for contributing.
That's ok, the purpose of the Antikythera mechanism has been known for years, and as of 2021 even the missing parts have been recreated. It is an astronomical device, and more advanced than their technology could actually make successfully. It had errors in its predictions because of the inability to make the device as fine as was needed for more accurate results. However, it was still a breakthrough in mechanical engineering, although it seems to have been lost to history, much as the later steam engine was lost until rediscovered much later. The purpose of the Antikythera mechanism was suggested back in 2012, so when they say this has not been solved they are lying.
I am not watching this any further... No reason to waste my time on tripe. The old items are great to explore, but when the presenter lies about them you have to wonder WHY are they lying and what do they gain. I can only explain this with "likes" and viewers... SO I deny him that because of his deception.
Damn i kinda expected it to be rediscovered where it was produced first🥲
kudos to the scientists tho, have they made their research public?

Vajra is also depicted as thunderbolt and is the weapon that Lord Indra wields. This Weapon is believed to be invincible. After being driven out from Swarga, or heaven, by the serpent king Vritra also known as Vritrasur, the Devas needed a powerful weapon to aid their fight so they went to Lord Vishnu for guidance. Lord Vishnu told the Devas that Vritrasur would only be killed by a weapon (Vajra) made from the sage Dadhichi's bones. So the Devas went to the Sage Dadhichi and explained the situation and told him that Lord Vishnu has sent them to him for help. Sage Dadhichi agreed to help the Devas and by his Yog-power ended his life. The Devas then made the Vajra from sage Dadhichi's bones and with that weapon Indra killed Vritrasur and defeated the Asuras and reclaimed heaven. The Pic of the Vajra shown here in the video is just symbolising the divine weapon and not the actual Vajra. This five-pronged ritual object extensively employed in Tibetan Buddhist ceremonies. In Sanskrit it has both the meanings of “thunderbolt” and “diamond.” Like the thunderbolt, Buddhist's believe that the vajra cleaves through ignorance.
@Dennis Tomasino indian mythology...infact many of these things are seen in the indian history and mythoogy aswell.
@Dennis Tomasino Indian mythology is completely different without any loop holes which makes the so called new gen doubt that it's not real
Yes..
@Skrivnostni Vrt the vajra is a device used in higher dimensions to alter space time allowing for reality changed. It actually warps spacetime so the equilibrium bit makes sense in that context. Certain forces must be correctly balanced in order for the crossing of dimensions to work correctly.

The Phaistos Disk is most likely an analogue of the Rosetta stone.
It contains 2 separate symbol writing systems, Cretan Heiroglyphs and Linear A - so the prevailing theory is that it is a singular inscription written twice to aid translation as Cretan Heiroglyphs and Linear A represent 2 overlapping periods of ancient Crete history.
Looks like a pagan calendar.. has a moon and beehives as well as various harvest based symbols . sacrificial calendar for festivities and harvest. Not that hard to figure, people thinking too hard. It made it easy for some one who had trouble remembering the occasions / Was made sacred and used only by the royals who could only have a copy to control the masses . ect ect. But a Calendar none the less.
I wonder how many of these mysteries have been thoroughly researched before the making of this video, I found a dozen that have their facts totally wrong, for example the Ulfberht Swords, the vikings do not have much to do with these, although many of the swords were found in scandinavia that is simply proof of a flourishing trade in the early middle ages, they are of franconian / germanian origin, and although they have been high quality steel products they are nowhere near as unbelievably advanced as suggested here. In fact, there was a trade embargo at one time, that forbade trade of these to enemy countries and specifically the vikings, so many contemporary fakes with misspellings were forged.
Has the origin of the sword been found yet? I saw a documentary about reforging the sword not too long ago, so there is a modern version, but they said we don't know for sure where the sword originated from. They did explain the fakes though, but also there I believe they were unsure if it was an actual fake or just spelled differently.
You're hired!
You are right, the Ulfberht Swords are made in Volgean Bulgaria, only Bulgarians have the technology to make still...

#15 - There was no such thing as singular 'Damascus blade'. You probably meant weapons made of 'Damascus steel' that were allegedly superior to any other weapons. And the modern metallurgists reproduced the 'wootz steel' that appears to be a regular crucible steel - a great achievement at the time, but nothing outstanding today.
Juicy Topic - Yes, scientists can't explain why the ancient legends don't correspond to reality, sure...
#14 - Are you serious? Any flammable liquid that is less dense than water burns over the water surface just fine. There are substances that get hot in contact with water (e.g. lime) or ignite when wet (e.g. sodium). There are many modern interpretations of Greek and Byzantine Fire (they are two different things - one was used in an flamethrower equivalent, the other was igniting in contact with water) made with the ingredients available in 7th century (the first attested usage of this weapon). We simply don't know what particular recipe has been used back then. And no, Greek fire has not been lost in 1453 - it has not been produced for few centuries back then.
#13 - It is almost certain that this is a falsificate. Voynich was a well-educated man, who got his scientific background in chemistry (worked as a pharmacist in his youth), experiences in forgery (he belonged to an underground independence movement, where he forged official documents) and had a wide knowledge of languages and history thanks to extensive self-study. He was also an successful antiquarian what gave him not only a lot of money but an access to clean or discarded medieval parchment. With his knowledge of chemistry and methods of making ink and paints, access to materials, linguistic skills, a lot of time on his hands and penchant for academic pranks, he had means, motive and opportunity. It is not the only one book of that kind - Luigi Serafini created similar Codex Seraphinianus, but he did not hide its modern origin.
#12 - It has been known for quite some time that Antikythera Mechanism was a very complex astronomic machine used to track the movement of moon and known planets, making it easier to synchronize the solar and lunar calendars or predicting the eclipses.
#11 - Zhang Heng's seismograph is a pretty simple mechanism that has been reconstructed numerous times. The device was meticulously leveled and then metal balls were positioned in the state of unstable equilibrium so when propelled by a heavy pendulum set off by even the light vibration, they started to fall, sounding an alarm (the frogs are hollow and act as a good resonator). Chinese were pretty accustomed to earthquakes, so for them, it was a practical tool.
#10 - The Ulfberht swords are not of Scandinavian origin, as they most likely originated from somewhere in Francia, more or less corresponding to modern Rhineland in Western Germany. Furthermore, there is nothing exceptional to them - they significantly vary in quality. Some are made of crucible steel, some are made of bloomery iron. They are all good weapons, but as I said, nothing exceptional. The only mystery is the meaning of the 'Ulfberht' word.
#9 - Well, it not that no one knows where the Iron Pillar came from. It bears an original inscription that states openly, that this item has been made on orders of king Kumaragupta I to honour Vishnu and commemorate king Candragupta II. Its resistance to rust (not complete, the pillar is visibly oxidized when one looks closely) has been analyzed 10 years ago and attributed to a high phosphorus content that caused the formation of iron phosphate layer, protecting it from penetrating rust, especially in warm, dry climate.
#8 - This one is actually mysterious. The text has not been deciphered yet (there are suggestions that it is some unknown variant of the linear A script) and its authenticity has not been confirmed.
#7 - It's not that scientists are baffled by these items. They simply don't know what was their purpose. Which is curious, because not written source mentions them, suggesting it must have been something really common.
#6 - Given the number and differences in size, it is generally accepted that this was a common decoration in buildings, possibly of ritual importance. But given that there is no written evidence concerning them, we will most likely never know the details.
#5 - There is no mystery whatsoever. Codex Gigas is just a compendium of religious and lay text, quite common to the era where it has been created. It is just bigger than most contemporary specimen, as it was meant to be kind of religious encyclopedia. The illustration of the Devil is also perfectly understood as the previous page contains the analogous image of the Heavenly Kingdom. So, no mystery, just a juxtaposition of Heaven and Hell, a common trope in medieval art.
#4 - This is another genuine mystery. Mostly because it has been discovered not that long ago (1986) and their size and submerged location make the examination a long and complex process. But the lack of any interior generally suggests natural origin, despite elaborate shape, much like in the case of Dimmuborgir in Iceland or Giant's Causeway in Ireland.
#3 - With the level of sophistication of the Indian ancient literature it only stands to reason that the authors were using their imagination to make their deities even more exotic and thus worthy of reverence. It is a form of religious science-fiction if you will.
#2 - The skeletons of Mohenjo-Daro referenced here do not show any unusual radiation levels. This misconception comes from 'Technology of the Gods' by David Childress (2000) who stated that the bones have shown 50 times the 'normal' radiation amount. This dates back to report of William Mayneord from 1960 who stated that radiation levels were not different that those found in Egypt. Two Russian physicians, Alexandr Lebedinsky and Yuri Nefedov challenged this in their 1962 paper, stating that the Indian remains shown 50% higher radiation level (again, nothing unusual, there are places where background radiation is way higher than in the others). This has been garbled by Childress, resulting in the strange allegations. The skeletons also bear the marks of physical trauma consistent with usage of weapons, suggesting a massacre (possibly of caravan workers attacked by bandits, as the place was a ruin for centuries by then).
#1 - This is not that strange - a small chamber made of hard stone with a domed ceiling have good acoustic properties. It is generally believed that this place was used for divination, to create an eerie sound effect, increasing the mystery of the ritual.
Its ok the viking blades he mentions are similiar. The myster isn't how it was made yet again they sorted that out, its the fact its very very close to damascus steel, back when India wasn't really connected to EU. Its was speculated that vikings doing long distance raids discovered the cruicble forge technique and broght it back for those swords. The guy who stole it kept it a secret and made a brand name for himself using it. But you can recreate the metal in the swords with a simple cruicible forge, wich at time was way way ahead of the times for EU weapons.
Video is full of misinformation and assumptions that are woefully outdated..

The iron pillar in India was manufactured by the forge welding of pieces of wrought iron. In a report published in the journal Current Science, R. Balasubramaniam of the IIT Kanpur explains how the pillar's resistance to corrosion is due to a passive protective film at the iron-rust interface. The presence of second-phase particles (slag and unreduced iron oxides) in the microstructure of the iron, that of high amounts of phosphorus in the metal, and the alternate wetting and drying existing under atmospheric conditions are the three main factors in the three-stage formation of that protective passive film. (Wikipedia)
Or the Iron maybe meteoric with a high nickel contain.
The dry hot climate in India has a lot to do with its preservation as well.
Constant moisture is what deteriorates iron. The hot arid area it is located at ensures the sun fully and quickly dries any wetness the iron may be exposed to, which is essentially the same as wiping off any dust or dirt and a natural upkeep that is maintaining the pillar instead of corroding it.
The Antikythera mechanism has been explained years ago. It predicted solar and lunar eclipses, celestial alignments, etc... Many documentaries on the subject.

Most of the things mentioned here are well known and fully understood, a quick search on Wikipedia will suffice to convince you of it. The only mysteries that remains - for some of them - are how where they made at the time with the tools at their disposal?
Exactly, like The Antikythera mechanism, being an amateur horologist and having to cut clock gears by hand with modern saws and files is hard enough, and to do it precisely, you need a magnifier of some sort. it blows the mind trying to figure out how they built this by hand with out modern tools and magnification. And according to Scientists, it had 37 meshing bronze gears enabling it to follow the movements of the Moon and the Sun through the zodiac, to predict eclipses and to model the irregular orbit of the Moon, where the Moon's velocity is higher in its perigee than in its apogee, It was beyond ingenious for it's time to be able to determine what gear to drive another set of gears to get the mathematical calculations for Their astronomical figures to get the results They needed, this would be hard enough to make correctly now with modern technology let alone 100 years B.C. It's really mind boggling.
*Fabrice Delaneau* This is not a mystery. The ancient Greek computer, called "the Antikythera mechanism", can only be the result of even more ancient knowledge. Not because the ancient Greeks were incapable to build such a machine (of course they were capable), but because the amazing information provided by this mechanism for the motion of the planets (including Kepler's laws), does not belong to the time it was built (200 B.C.). In my opinion, the ancient Greeks had access to even more ancient texts of their ancestors, perhaps from the time before the great flood, when knowledge and technology were like today or even more advanced. Unfortunately, as we all know, most of the ancient Greek literature is been destroyed, while another important part is hidden in the basements of the Vatican.
@@j.armstrong9021 The Antikythera Mechanism isn't that crazy; while the Mechanism has the oldest preserved European gears, there are Chinese examples more than 300 years older. Similarly, the principle of analogue computing (creating a physical analogy to observed mechanisms) are exhibited in the astrolabe, a device which is about a century older and has almost 1000 separate uses.
The composition of Greek fire remains a matter of speculation and debate, with various proposals including combinations of pine resin, naphtha, quicklime, calcium phosphide, sulfur, or niter. In his history of Rome, Titus Livy describes priestesses of Bacchus dipping fire into the water, which did not extinguish, "for it was sulphur mixed with lime."
Yeah there's a vast difference between "we don't know the precise blend of materials, but it was several flammable things mixed together" and "scientists can't explain it"

Seismograph doesn't predict earthquake, a seismograph is an instrument for measuring earthquake
well it predict earthquakes in the micro seconds to detects motion right before the bigger seismic waves hit..so if you have a seismograph when you see it starting to go crazy.. you know the big one is coming in the next second!!! so it predicts an earthquake in a not so useful way..LOL
@@xpez9694 you are stupid, the big one might come or may not come. It measures the big one and small one it does NOT predict.
When it takes you up to a week to find out about one that hit in distance it is. They didn't have internet or telegraph cables the point was it would "predict" where and when one was happening. They could use that to know there was a earthquake hours or days before any messenger ever reached them.
He says detected, not predicted.
Probably said here before, but sea levels have risen ever since Ice Age started to melt. Underwater structures that could be man could have been made when sea levels were lower. Then melting ice increased water levels and covered the structures. The thing between 15 and 14 that's alleged to create electricity, could it be a lightning rod?

@@Zalzany You are 100% wrong about Vikings stealing the Damascus steel technique from middle easterners.
The Vikings never traveled into the middle east. That is heavily known by all. It is called evolution. Research and development.
Crucible steel that the Vikings crafted was done so in the crucible using charcoal to deplete all oxygen in the crucible, making the heavy minerals more dense. I should add, the ore came from rich veins and deposits from Germany.

VAJRA: Judging by their names, at least three of the respondents on the Vajra are probably of Indian or South Asian origin. And their comments are completely valid from a Hindu perspective. Buddhists, on the other hand, have a slightly different view of the meaning of the Vajra. Quick factoid: Buddhism grew out of what we now call the Vedic (Hindu) world of Northern India over 2,500 years ago......not dissimilar to how Christianity grew out of Judaism. And the Buddhism of Tibet is broadly referred to as VAJRAyana Buddhism. The word Vajra can be translated as diamond or lightning, and yana being way or path. So the diamond path. In this case it is the lightning bolt of wisdom. In terms of the ritual object, the brass or bronze Vajra, (Dorje in Tibetan), is an everyday practice instrument that is often used in conjunction with a small hand drum (damaru/sp?), and brass bell (ghanta). The bell itself has a half vajra as its handle. These are not the only ritual practice instruments that practitioners would have, but they are the most common and basic. (Monasteries would often have larger horns, drums and cymbals). I was given permission to practice with these instruments by a Vajrayana lama 30 years ago. I have never once heard of them to (literally) be used to generate house current. Of course, if they led to someone reaching enlightenment, that would indeed be a lightning bolt occasion, I would think!
vajra means skeleton, To kill a demon who had a boon that he cannot be killed by any astras /shastras , A sage skeleton was used as he had a boon that his skeleton is unbreakable, so thus his bones was used to build a weapon which was used by Indra to kill the demon. From there on, it became Indra's primary weapon. The weapon is similar to the one used by thor and zeus to attract lightning,
A bit add-on I'd like to do here.. really nice to hear genuine comments on Vajra like yours 👌🏻👍🏻
Hindu is/was more a civilization or a huge community along the Indus/Sindhu river. So, hindu consists of 4-5 Indian school of thoughts combined out of 7 that is studied in Indian philosophy currently academically.
Vedic i guess would be Vedanta tradition which was one of the highest doctrine among them.. Vedas had enormous knowledge, wisdom, and skills in different branches of studies!
Within Hindu philosophies, there's Vedanta, Mimamsa, Samkhya, Yoga, Nyaya.. as known still today! They all considered as asthik or those who believe in autonomous independent substantial self or self as the highest consciousness to realise and practice. What they called as aatma and they believe all atmaan will converge into one as pramatmaan or the universe or the ultimate god.
On the other hand, we have left with three other Indian school of thoughts who were called as nasthik or those who believe in no self or selflessness. Technically speaking, there's the label self which is the conventional truth and in the ultimate reality, there's no self or emptiness of objective self is to be realised. They rejected the existence of objective self and thus called nasthik or the opposite side of others.
Three schools are: Buddhism, Jainism, and Charvakas.
Interestingly, Charvakas were the ancient materialist Indians who believed in nothing spiritual but eat, sleep, and have fun kinda lifestyle as their ultimate goal. Thus, it died slowly as a school but most people do that only these days if I'm not wrong! 🥴
On the other hand, we can find lots of scripts and teachings in Buddhism where there are lots of dialogues and debates between Buddhist monks and other school's monks like Vedantas and that's how they evolved together debating logically and effectively among each other!
That's why these are called dialogue religions as there's and there has been lots of intense dialogues and debates and it's still going on even today in authentic institutes.
We're lucky to be born around such profound traditions and wisdom as vast as an ocean! Nalanda University has been the top pioneer of wisdom and repositories of those profound concepts and books. It's still preserved well and that's how Tibetan Buddhism came up out of it but unfortunately, Nalanda were destroyed soon after it spread towards Tibet!
Earlier, Indians were the gurus and Tibetans and all other nations came to learn from here. Now, Tibetans are gurus and Indians and other nations are chelas and we can spread the Nalanda tradition again 😀✌🏻🌱
Actually, the Buddhism of Tibet is broadly referred to as Tibetan Buddhism. Vajrayana or Diamond Way is a branch of that, and it is lead by the Karmapas. Most people associate Buddhism with the Dalai Lama who is the leader of a different branch. The Diamond Way was taught by the historic Buddha to a small number of highly intelligent people only.
People make wootz steel all the time in the forging community, it's made using a crucible, you can even buy in billet form. Not a mystery and definitely has been solved by science 😂
Years before this video was made there are two things that have been solved or understood if you will. Greek fire and the Voynich Manuscript. The Voynich Manuscript is a medical manual written in an ancient Turkish dialect. Greek fire was just saltpeter aka potassium nitrate a powerful oxidizing agent. It was lit on fire then launched at an enemy ship. The pitch and wood of the deck. it was a time honored tradition to cover the decks of wooden ships in tar or pine pitch. When the projectile, usually a clay container with the mouth sealed by cloth which was set afire and that fire quickly spread to the saltpeter, which will burn by itself, hit the wooden deck balls of burning saltpeter spread across the deck of the ship. The wood and pitch which melted as the balls of burning saltpeter skittered across the deck did not ignite, or the crew didn't throw buckets of water on them, then a ship equipped a device called a siphon would spray water on the target ship. The reaction was an explosion of fast moving and hot burning fire because as the potassium nitrate burned it concentrated the potassium which burns when exposed to air and explodes in water when pure. The pitch and the wood then provided fuel to keep the fire burning hot. For years scientists and historians overlooked the obvious. As a teenager a friend and I played with potassium nitrate by lighting it on fire ans watching it burn a track across a piece of plywood. At one point it started to ignite the wood so I spit on it and was rewarded by a huge concussion and a flash fire as a reaction. We put it out by smothering it with dirt. That and having some knowledge of sailing a wooden sailboat, is how I know what Greek fire actually was. The scientists tried to combine the pitch, wood and saltpeter, not knowing that only the saltpeter was absent for the wooden desk of a warship. It's the old fire safety triangle, fuel+ air+ ignition source = fire. Cut off one of the three and the fire goes out, but saltpeter, aka potassium nitrate produces its own oxygen as the nitrates burn, leaving a potassium rich and very hot residue in the ball of fire, that reacts violently with water. Don't try this at home!
Apart from the phosphorus level that is over 10 times that of a modern steel, the level of impurities in the pillar is generally low, which is typical of ancient wrought iron. A high phosphorus iron ore was clearly used, and this element contaminated the product. As a result, a very thin dark grey protective layer of crystalline iron hydrogen phosphate has formed on the surface of the pillar, which is the reason for its resistance to corrosion. (The Australasian Corrosion Association, Inc.)
I think half of these are only a "mystery" to him 🙄
@@ASavageEye extreme lack of humidity in Delhi, you kidding baby ? 😂😂😂
Do the pillars reach a body of underground water, if so, is it saltwater? This could be electrolysis using atmospheric electricity.
@@ASavageEye never been to India but with a place that big the humidly levels would differ a lot by area. did you just go to a dry part and they are from wetter parts?
@@NuclearLama Well honestly I never considered that. India is as you said a large country with central desert like areas and lots of coast. I am sure the humidity changes at different times of the year too, as it does in most countries.
Thing is I have seen many pillars like these in various parts of India and they all have a similar lack of rust. As the OP points out they are very old and some older techniques of smelting and ironwork do produce much purer metals than what is found in later centuries. Its all too tough to call as to the exact cause of it but humidity levels DO play a big part.
Ah hell maybe there is some secret society keeping them clean lol
I have vajra smuggled from tibet, along with the oral traditions about them. One point the video got wrong is calling them weapons- there was a version of vajra with the tines (the metal lines at each end-think long spikes) pointing OUTWARD when it was a brutal weapon which would tear flesh off BUT the versions shown and the modern ones have the tines all connected inward to symbolize peace by "disarming" a weapon, an action performed by ancient Bön shaman. Also, the vid didn't mention the hundreds of mentions of vajra in Indian sacred texts speaking of it as a lightening bolt thrower.
Re energy or electricity, the shaman say it is a transceiver one end sends the other received. A spiritual radio basically in it's peaceful form. Re electricity I have one with meteoric iron in the center from tip to tip. (Meteorite are more common to find at such a high height and we're saved as gifts from the sky and the iron used for sacred items. Iron placed under the sudden directional stress of hitting the earth causes it to become magnetic) This means the shape is almost a perfect representation of a magnetic field. The shaman say it can receive spiritual energies and send them with the center acting as an amplifier.
If you see any Tibetan lama in one hand is the kartika or bell (used in mantras to keep people awake) and in the other is the vajra.
He didn't mention phurba, "magic demon killing dagger". I have two, one huge ceremonial one with meteoric core and silver the other a small one all of meteoric iron. It is hand sized and was used to kill demons. I've tested all of the above with a sensitive magnetometer which showed magnetic fields on all, strongest on the small phurba, also indications of a very high frequency electric or electromagnetic field around the vajra. Wish I could add pics. If there's interest, I'll put some up in a public album.

welcome to youtube.
Hint: any video that Titled (number) (things) that (outragous claim) are all BS. especially ones where they read the script do flat and quick they misspeak common words.
Because a headline saying "15 Oldest Technologies That Scientists Can Easily Explain" doesn't get many interested people stopping by...
If you read Hanuman Chalisa that was written centuries ago , you will find the distance between the sun and the earth ... Much before our modern scientists calculated it..
This video is for the conspiracy theorists. All of these are fully explainable. This is History channel entertainment for the gullible.
Well that's a flat lie... the "earthquake detector that science cannot explain" is an extremely rudimentary motion detector with a pendulum suspended between eight levers, each attached to one dragon's lower jaw on the outside of the jar. Earthquake swings pendulum, pendulum hits lever, lever opens dragon's jaw, causing the ball it was retaining to drop into the toad's mouth below with a loud clink. Literally the same principle as a bell suspended from a doorframe so the door hits the bell when opened, announcing someone coming into the store.

The antikythera mechanism, we know what it does and what it was used for.. The pillar of Delhi, we know when it was constructed and who did it (or at least commissioned it). Not hating, it's full of interesting stuff but dang bro, a quick search and voila...
7:02 It's well established that this device was used to track Planet and Moon relative to the Sun on one facing and on the reverse showed which Star Sign (if you believe in them) was currently in 'vogue'. Also, it's Cryptologist...not whatever it was you said earlier. The Disc at 11:38 has been translated thanks to a new discovery similar to the Rosetta stone, a tablet which interprets this ancient language into a lesser ancient language :) one we can read!

correction: 2:17 its not buddhist tool its the hindu astra(weapon)used by Indra which can produce lightning and is one of the most destructive holy weapon. : )
I was gonna comment that too. The story had it...Lord Indra was so jealous of popularity of Lord Buddha. So Indra threw the Vajra at Buddha but Buddha being the incarnation of Lord Bishnu...he blocked the Vajra with his index finger...and hurt it during the process. The wound was infected and manifested with maggots. Chickens helped stopping of infection by eating the maggots and eventually the wound was healed. This the reason for true Buddhist people not eating chicken.

If you were to give replicas of the gear wheels within the AntiKythera device to an horologist, after counting the teeth, they would probably tell you that the gears were part of some sort of clock or celestial calendar without much hesitation. This is because mechanical clocks always use the same easily recognised gear tooth numbers and very particular gear ratios to represent fixed units of time related to planetary orbits around the sun and other celestial mechanics. What the device is, is rather obvious, who made it however, will probably always remain a mystery as the Romans made a point of looting 'shiny things' from all over the known world without making a note of where they got them from.
The guy you see in the video about the antikythera devise was actually the R&D director of Hublot (Swiss watch brand). And we do know perfectly the purpose of this machine. It was used to predict astronomical positions and eclipses decades in advance. Your guess was right :). Fun fact, Hublot did a miniature replica of this machine.

Vimanas were made by King Ravana who lived in Sri Lanka. He was known as a genius who knew 10 different subjects including how to build aircrafts. Vimana Shastra which describes how to build planes, what should pilots wear etc are clearly described in there by him.
It was translated by Indians and now everyone talk about it as it originated from India.
It would be nice to give credit to the original authors.
Not only that king Ravana was a pedestrian. He wrote Kumara Thantra which describes how a baby can be taken care of and what an expecting mom should do.
Another one King Ravana wrote is Ravana samhitha. It’s about astrology as he is known to have visited other planets.
All these got translated in India and everyone talk about them as things originated in India.
It’s okay to use his books but would have been nice if credit is given to the great scholar Ravana who was the king of Lanka.
There was no Srilanka at that time..! It's india still.. The food, genetics, languages, culture is Indian Infact..

As it has 8 even points on each end, I believe it was also used as a fixed legend for distance measurement on scrolls.

The greek computer is a sun,moon,and 5 planet rotating device. It runs on a 19 year cycle. Of course the sun revolved around the earth. Amazing tech. Very technical device.
Greek Fire isn't all that difficult to duplicate, we simply can't know what it was back then.
Oil is lighter than water and thus floats on the waters surface and is quite sticky. Adding some other materials to it gives it properties that prevent putting it out (white phosphorous would be an example) wouldn't be difficult.
Most pyrophoric materials are also water reactive so ANY pyrophoric material that they discovered could have used to create Greek Fire. Iron Sulfide would be another possibility among many (though many are also modern mixtures as far as is known).
By the way, the work Pyrophoric is from Greek which is quite fitting.
USMC Ordnanceman
Used during WW2, firebombs dropped by B-29s on Japan.
@@edmaher3612 I'm not sure they used pyrophoric materials on Japan (and the European theater) in WWII. More likely pyrotechnic (won't extinguish with fire because they contain their own oxidizers but not auto igniting in oxygen) or a napalm type fuel thickener.
Key thing is it was weaponized and the recipe, you can make gheto napalm with orang juice, but for combat grade there is a dozen reciepes they could used all which burned on water issue is we don't know how long it burned, or how hot, so all we can do is guess on what recipe was.
@@hamskoolie9706 All I know is it was standard incendiary bombs, and the cities were made of wood so they did more damage then then the nukes short term at least. But the nukes were just so much worse for the survivors. More died to the fire bombs then the nukes, but more lives were ruined by the nukes...
@@Zalzany Never heard of OJ being used for "ghetto napalm".
Styrofoam beads from "bean bag" chairs works well. As does any styrofoam disolved in gasoline.
After all, the purpose of napalm was to thicken fuel. It was inert itself so the banned napalm was actually less deadly than the "humane" replacements.
Ulfberht was a craftsman who made swords for royals and high ranking soldiers.

The roman dodecahedrons allow poles to be interlocked to produce a special tent frame. The knobs allow the poles to be tied in place. There is a modern toy with the same geometry and a modern tent company makes a version from plastic.
Good theory! It could even be used to put burning materials in and then they could launch them from trebuchets. The metal would make them destroy the material it would impact very easy and it would also keep the inertia on a battle field and also it would be very bouncy and dangerous. So imho it could be a very dangerous tool on the battlefield :)

12:47 Roman Dodecahedra - it looks to me that you put some incents/perfume/herbs in it (perfume would be on some spongy material) , hence one hole on top is bigger. It is decorative, but the standoffs kept it off the surface and added extra vent area (so it doesn't rest on its surface). As incents were expensive, people would take this with them to different room/part of the house. Round points at the corners mean that this thing was picked up by hand often.
These could also be used in a bath (just don't sit on it lol).
some grandma saw it and used it to knit gloves, search for it here on youtube🤣
Vajra means thunderbolt or lightening or diamantine. They were purely symbolic with zero electricity generating ability.
They represent the irreducible essence of all wisdom & hence all phenomena.
We know perfectly well what the Antikythera mechanism is for, and have built a worlign replica. Its used to predict full moons eclipses and some comet returns. \We know this because of the gear ratios. Theres only one reason you would use gears with teeth numbers that match natural astronomical cycles - 30, 60, 54, 13, 254.
Just curious, but what do you do for a living? I was thinking time myself. I'm just a concrete worker.
Kris, there is lots of information out there on the Anithykera mechanism. It took decades to determine what it was, because the metal was so corroded by the salt water, and was a giant blob of metal. It took the invention of MRI technology to be able to look inside, and see all the gears, and figure out the mathematics. Also, the Greek government conservationists severely limited access to the pieces for decades as well. When scientists were finally able to actually "see" what there was, it became fairly clear, and not really too surprising that the information and sophistication existed that long ago. What was more perplexing was the capacity of the craftsman of the day to manufacture the gears to the accuracy and precision that they did, given the manufacturing methods of the time. As others have commented, it was an astronomical calendar, astrolabe?? Useful for navigation, tide prediction, almanac (agricultural) calendars, and ultimately, time (they knew that one year was actually a smidge more than one year). Lots of info on the web, from two or three minute videos, to a 500+ page book that I read, that was fascinating!! Happy learning!

You can't blame us for what our ancestors did
The Indians of today aren't even close genetically to the ancient Indians. They didn't create an Empire, they overpopulate a slum.
Russian metallurgist Pavel Petrovich Anosov (see Bulat steel) was almost able to reproduce ancient Wootz steel with nearly all of its properties and the steel he created was very similar to traditional Wootz. He documented four different methods of producing Wootz steel that exhibited traditional patterns. He died before he could fully document and publish his research. Oleg Sherby and Jeff Wadsworth and Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory have all done research, attempting to create steels with characteristics similar to Wootz, but without success. J.D Verhoeven and Alfred Pendray reconstructed methods of production, proved the role of impurities of ore in the pattern creation, and reproduced Wootz steel with patterns microscopically and visually identical to one of the ancient blade patterns. Reibold et al.'s analyses spoke of the presence of carbon nanotubes enclosing nanowires of cementite, with the trace elements/impurities of vanadium, molybdenum, chromium etc. contributing to their creation, in cycles of heating/cooling/forging. This resulted in a hard high carbon steel that remained malleable[30]
There are other smiths who are now consistently producing Wootz steel blades visually identical to the old patterns.[31] Steel manufactured in Kutch particularly enjoyed a widespread reputation, similar to those manufactured at Glasgow and Sheffield.[8]
Also Finnish Heimo Roselli makes wootz
type steel called UHC. It looks similar to original wootz and performs very well.

Just a little headsup regarding the number 1 entry. The footage doesn't show the Hypogeum of Hal Saflieni but the Imnajdra Temples in Qrendi (Also in Malta).
the number 1 entry
Greek fire is likely based on a composition of naphtha and limestone turned to quicklime in a furnace.
The iron pillar was treated with an agent similar to gun blueing, creating black magnetite rust rather than the orange iron oxide rust we're more familiar with.
The Hypogeum entry was interesting, being as I was there on dozens of occasions as a kid and never heard of, nor saw demonstrated, any particular resonance or sound magnification. There has been extensive archeological and renovation work conducted there over the last three decades though. I'll have to go visit again and try it out. All I used to do there was clamber around exploring, before it was ever fenced and renovation efforts started.
Some of the list entries are long shots and others are quite well understood at this point. The antikythera mechanism, for example, was an early astronomical device, incredibly clever but not beyond our understanding at this point. The writings, books, discs and manuscripts are the really interesting ones to me.
Greek fire isn't known there is like 12 ways they could done it with their tech level. You can make poor mans napalm using orange juice as key ingredent. And there is a ton of recipe ideas out there all saying it must been it including one that used limes and sulfar, wich also would have worked the same as US munctions guide that had a recipe with OJ in it lol
@@Zalzany Napalm is polystyrene in petroleum. Although you can use ping pong balls too. Greek fire was worse when water was added, which for the time period means quick lime and naphthalene could be collected in buckets without refining. So it's the most probable theory for Greek fire.
@@Zalzany "not understood by modern scientists" and "we have 12 ways to do it with their tech level" are contradictary statements.
@@onehandbehind343 Good thing I never said "not understood by modern scientists" then. Also you can fail to understand but recreate it 12 diffrent ways, but still fail to understand how they did it. Its nothing more then just theories on how they did it. there is a ton of experts as well on Napalm but really making water burn, and burn for decent time has a lot of options available.
@@Si74l0rd Napalm is more of expression then a propper noun when used to describe greek fire it simply means it had similar principles to it. And yet again there is a ton of ways to create a substance that floats, and burns on water, oil is the simplest one that comes to mind, but many flamable materials exist just like many sources of oils exist. For instance a grease fire is not made with petroleum and if you try to use water to put it out it simply spreads the fire more.
There is way more substances that can be used like one theory is olive oil mixture. But people keep going with petroleum based theories going "well maybe they used crude oil?" Its like yeah or tar, just like peat moss and other things are pretty flammable and people don't realize it
Translating Greek Fire into Grease Fire should make more sense for people to understand what it was and how it worked...
Ulfberth swords are not viking swords, but most of them found in scandinavia.
The worst part is that, in the images he showed you can see the "dublin ulfberth" worn by a war chief of Ireland and still claims it is viking.
