I had never heard of the Gavazan column, but as you explain that it was a seizmic movement detector, some explanation of how it worked would have been good. You said that it's a pivoting pillar, but the external photos don't give a hint at how that worked.

NEARLY A THOUSAND YEARS BEFORE the development of the modern seismograph in the 19th century, Armenian monks living in the Tatev monastery constructed the “Gavazan” column, a pillar with a pivoting base, which tilted when the ground shook from tremors caused by earthquakes (or approaching armies). Take from Atlas Obscura

Just think how many times that iron pillar has been struck by lightning.

I wonder if the maker of the Lycurgus Cup (or any of its predecessors) was just trying to make the cup sparkly by adding the gold and silver grains and stumbled onto the color changing property entirely by accident.

To my mind, the interesting thing about the Nilometer was that it was constructed inside "monasteries". It was a fairly simple device that measured the depth of the river water, and they could predict from the rate of rise and fall of the water, when the Nile would come into flood - essential information for farmers along the river - but the means of getting this information - the Nilometer - was kept secret and used to heighten the mysticism of their religion - but there was no mysticism involved - they did it by reading water depth.

The quickest way to get rid of toenail fungus it to paint it with super glue like nail polish.

The one person who suggested that it is indeed Archimedes who built the astrological "Antikythera" mechanism was myself. I am to date the only person to have done so and even know what the stone balls of Costa Rica are. I put both explanations up on the internet around 2018. The stone balls? They were used as value holders, like money, and or Credit Cards. Given sufficient time and energy one can contemplate the worlds mysteries with relative ease, and from the depths of such meditations arise the solutions to all of life's little mysteries. Good luck, fare well.

Could the iron pillar be a cannon barrel where the open end is buried in the ground

u didnt mention how they rediscovered Damascus steel? a guy was moving some slag metal that was impure with other machine parts in it and it spilled out of the crucible... when it hardened they found it was really hard and almost indestructible...

Damascus steal has been rediscovered. They did studies of the swords they do have. Found the source of the iron from the ground. I forget the right combo mixture. Yet, they have discovered how it was made temp etc the whole nine. Need to do a remake of the video now….
