12 Most Abandoned Ancient Technologies That Really Exist

We like to believe that we’re getting smarter. We tell ourselves that every technological and scientific breakthrough takes us closer to enlightenment. What if we’re not, though? What if we’re actually getting dumber? What if the ingenuity behind the technology of today is actually inferior to the ingenuity behind the technology of yesterday? The things you’re about to see in this video might just convince you that’s the case!

I love that forgotten technologies are being explored and in some cases brought back to working order.

[jeffreyolp]

As a civilization we have advanced greatly. As individuals we have become morons.

Volcanic ash isnt used because things arent built to last anymore

Ancient Indian Civilisation did some unbelievable things, you should include them too .

Bro
Read Indian sanatan vedas ( ancient text books) you will find there whole cosmos, from the bigbang to the next disaster, all is mentioned.
In india we have a time calculation machines from 1000 years back. They can today also provide us details like positions of moon, and other planets. The knowledge in vedas is so much

I like that the Piri Reis map was apparently made with source maps saved from the library of Alexandria

The soap he is talking about is referring to what is called "lye" soap today. I still use some that I made a few years ago & yes you do feel clean after using it.

Modern man has incredible feats. Same is true of historical man. Neither makes the other's accomplishments less impressive.

Think the Bagdad battery was used for electroplating.
A thin gold layer over a silver or copper article.

"We must ask ourselves what our ancestors were using batteries for 2200 years ago" - to charge their cell phones of course.

On the 1st one they only built on top of a pre existing more advanced civilization

Don't you mean "Abandoned Ancient Technology" and not "Most Abandoned Anicient Technologies". I mean is there a contest to use Abandoned technology less than others? How do you keep track of this?

Phillip II didn’t introduce Catholicism to Britain. Also Henry VIII’s ‘subsequent rejection of Catholicism’ doesn’t work as he was dead by the time Phillip ‘installed’ it, which also doesn’t make sense as Catholicism had long been established there. Not to say that Phillip II wasn’t massively significant, and that he didn’t seek to reinforce Catholicism over the newly formed Protestants.

First inventors of Molotov cocktails: somebody during the Great Crusades.

“Most abandoned” is kind of a weird metric, don’t ya think?

In Hinduism, we believe that we are living in Kaliyuga. The dark age. Before it's begining, it was dwaparyuga, the advanced age which was not as dark as Kaliyuga. People back then passed super powers like telepathy, interstellar travel, and so on. Pole star is where these aliens which we call gods, are located. The star with it's seven sages star make the swastika, that we worship.

Bottom line is, we are far inferior in terms of technological advancement, compared to ancient ages or yugas.

[Ninjametal]

How can something be more or less degrees of abandoned? Seems pretty absolute to me

[matthewdieter]

Greek fire was not alcohol. It burned like napalm. We still don't know what it was. The chemical combo was kept secret.

[FlatlandMando]

This is a satisfying compilation, not all stretched out into fantasyland.

Antartica and its position is mentioned about in the Valmiki Ramayana. Valmiki was a contemporary of Ram and is supposed to be 14k years ago...
