8 facts about the mysterious ancient technology that we still do not understand

We can as much as necessary to be skeptical and to seek an explanation difficult to explain, but the facts, as usual, speak for sebya.1. The ancient Peruvians could soften stones?



Archaeologists and uchënye scratching their heads over guesses about how it was built mysterious construction of Sacsayhuaman in Peru. The giant stones that built this extraordinary ancient fortress, is so heavy that it would have been difficult to transport and install, even with the help of modern technology.

Lying there a clue to this mystery in a special equipment that ancient Peruvians used to soften the stone blocks, or the whole thing in secret ancient technology of fusion stones? According to some researchers, granite, from which built the fortress in Cusco, has been exposed to very high temperatures, so its outer surface became glassy and smooth.

Scientists have concluded that the stones are softened by means of a high-tech equipment, and then each block is polished in accordance with cutouts adjacent stone, so they are flush with each other.

2. An amazing acoustics Hal Saflieni



HAL SAFLIENI a subterranean cave system about 500 square meters, located on three tiers. The corridors and passageways lead to a small room, which date back to 3000-2500 BC.

This stone room you can hear the incredible sound effects that have an impact on the human body. The sounds uttered in this room resonate throughout the room, and then as it pierces through the body.

HAL SAFLIENI Hypogeum has a dark history. The researchers found in its territory remains of more than 7,000 people, and lots of deep holes, cracks and even the burial chambers. What are the experiments conducted in this strange and mysterious place?

3. Lycurgus Cup artifact testifying to knowledge of ancient nanotehnologiy



This amazing artifact proves that our ancestors were ahead of their time. Equipment manufacturing Cup is so perfect that his master had at the time were familiar with what we now call nanotechnology.

This is an unusual and unique bowl made of dichroic glass, able to change its color depending on the light - for example, zelënogo to bright red. This unusual effect arises from the fact that dichroic glass contains a small amount of colloidal gold and silver.

4. Ancient Baghdad batareyki



Scientists suggest that this small and nondescript on the exterior artifact is an example of a source of power in the ancient world. This is the so-called "Baghdad battery" Parthian period.

Electric Battery, made about 2000 years ago, was discovered in 1936 by railway workers in the area Kudzhut-Rabu near Baghdad. It is believed that the world's first known electric battery - voltaic pile - was invented by the Italian physicist Alessandro Volta only in 1799, while most sources indicate that the time of occurrence of the Baghdad Battery dates from about 200 BC.

5. Incredible ancient wonders of metalla



High-tech methods of hardening and processing of large pieces of metal were common in ancient times. Our ancestors possessed extremely complex scientific knowledge in metal working, they inherited from earlier civilizations that prove found throughout the world artifacts.

Metallurgical technology eschë were known in ancient China, and it was one of the first civilizations, which began to produce iron.

In ancient India, were able to produce iron, which is not exposed to rust due to the high content of phosphorus in it. One of these iron columns height of 7 meters and a weight of about 6 tons of installed before minaret Qutub Minar in Delhi, India.

6. Worldwide, found evidence of the existence of technology drilling kamney



Already in ancient times, the builders could prodelyvat perfectly round holes in the rock and hard rock. This impressive technique suggests that our ancestors were familiar with complex technologies - creating such large holes can not be without engineering skills and the availability of a drilling equipment required.

7. The ancient and complex art of gilding on the basis of mercury, which had not yet learned today reached tehnologii



Already in ancient times, jewelers, working with silver and gold, mercury is used for gilding of domes and interiors in many countries of the ancient world. These complex processes used for the production and coating products such as jewelry, figurines, amulets.

From a technological point of view, the old masters 2000 years ago, was able to make these extremely thin metal coating and durable, saving precious metals and improves their durability.

Recent discoveries indicate a high level of competence of the ancient artisans who have not yet reached even modern technology.

8. "Old computer": the mysterious mechanism of Antikythera still full zagadok



In 1900, near the small island of Antikythera 25 miles northwest of Crete was discovered unusual bronze object of unknown purpose. Once scientists have pulled this curious artifact from under the water and clean it, they found part of a complex mechanism, consisting of various gears.

Perfectly aligned wheels of this mechanism and the remains of the inscriptions, in all likelihood meet its basic function. Most likely, the mechanism is an astronomical clock, without pendulum, however, both in Greek and in Roman literature could not find any mention of this ancient "computer." The artifact was found near korablëm, presumably sunk in the 1st century BC.
