The secret ingredient for roman concrete was Sea Water . The minerals created the chemical effect of the concrete growing stronger over time . The rediscovery was announced about 10 years ago.
Wish they described the reverse siphon better.
I'm sure there's detailed videos on Aqueducts
@@juangalton999 : Its not really anything like a syphon. Its just water filling up a U shaped pipe, its just common sense. Pour in one side and it comes out the other. A siphon on the other hand is kind of magical as it uses suction of falling water to raise water uphill with is kind of counter intuitive.
I've learned something new today. Thanks to you.
7:25 is 100% located in city of Pula,Croatia
During the description of the aqueducts there was an extended pic of the Blue Domed Church in Greece with nary a aqueduct in view.

Excellent.

The greatest Roman invention, with a far reaching impact, is definitely cement.
Concrete predates the Romans. The Greeks were using it around 1300 BC, and it was common around the eastern Mediterranean when Rome was still struggling to dominate it's own region. It was also known in the New World by the Mayans, so we cannot even assume it to be a European invention. The Romans just revolutionized it's manufacture and uses.
No Catholicism there by Christianity greatest invention
@@sonnylambert4893 Religion (usually) is not an invention. It is considered a cultural development of beliefs, practices, ethics etc. Christianity formed as a branch of Judaism, and it's founder was Jewish. Rome's only part in the creation of Christianity was to execute it's founder and many of it's followers.
I think it would be truer to say Christianity destroyed the Roman Empire, than any other summation.
Nope. No reach at all. It vanished with the natural ressource.
@@Psychol-Snooper There was another part Rome played, ie the dissemination of Christianity. That was to make it the official religion of Rome & it's empire via Constantine, influenced by his mother, who was a convert. Without that, it may well have remained a local, Judean cult.
The roman numeral 'C' is derived from the Latin word for 'hundred' (centum) and the numeral 'M' is derived from the Latin word for 'thousand' (milia).
Lol I was shocked when he said "we don't know". L for 50 is a little less intuitive, I'm wondering if they borrowed it from the Babylonians since they had a similar L shape for 60 I believe.
What about "D" for 500?
@@hagerty1952 I don't know about "D." I was not a student of Latin.
@@ddburdette - That's OK, neither am I...which is why I asked.
Interesting
The other letters could be months and initials maybe? 🤔
3:24 - The clock face has IIII as Roman numeral 4. It's actually IV. Otherwise pretty good.
Actually all clocks with roman numerals do, since it looks more appealing and symmetrical
@@unknown81360 No, they don't all use IIII. For example, the famous clock, Ben Ben, at one corner of Whitehall, in London, England, uses IV. But, some do use IIII.
It may look more symmetrical because of the VII and VIII on the second half of the clock face. What's more appealing is a matter of taste. I find the versions that use IV more appealing because it's correct. You may not. That's OK.
Thanks for replying to my old comment.
If you pass by 4th gate of Coloseum, you'll read "IIII" carved on travertine, not "IV". I suspect that IV was a later introduction.
The first aqueduct shown in this video is a Roman aqueduct, the "Pont du Gard" aqueduct, the second is not a Roman aqueduct, it's the "Roquefavour" aqueduct, near Aix en Provence in the south of France. Completed in 1847, it supplies the city of Marseille with water from the Durance river.
I think aquatics are a better idea than using pumps you let gravity do all the work it would save power.
you forgot the most important thing, the Latin alphabet. Almost all of us communicate here using 23 original Roman letters, with the exception of the letter W.
That ship isn’t Rome it’s Greece 🇬🇷
Rome Aqueducts clean water & sewerage 2,000 years ago but early England didnt apply this correctly and disease soon followed
people through sewage onto the streets and made its way into drinking water the plaques set in .
ROMA INVICTA
....ET LUX MUNDI 💪🦅
Wonder how Romans manage time to made such mind blowing things, as they were suppose to overthrow their kings and falling in love some thousand miles away from Rome. 😅
This really was fascinating I had no idea that Roman people were so advanced and the cement thing I’m astounded. But why do people put toilet water in rivers and the sea it’s so disgusting and has polluted animals only source of water no wonder they look so dull in colour.
Mrs Richards: "I paid for a room with a view !"
Basil: (pointing to the lovely view) "That is Torquay, Madam."
Mrs Richards: "It's not good enough!"
Basil: "May I ask what you were expecting to see out of a Torquay hotel bedroom window? Sydney Opera House, perhaps? the Hanging Gardens of Babylon? Herds of wildebeest sweeping majestically past?..."
Mrs Richards: "Don't be silly! I expect to be able to see the sea!"
Basil: "You can see the sea, it's over there between the land and the sky."
Mrs Richards: "I'm not satisfied. But I shall stay. But I expect a reduction."
Basil: "Why?! Because Krakatoa's not erupting at the moment?
What have the bloody Romans ever done for us?!?
In Italian, the double X is pronounced as a, t, is in English. Pizza, posts.
"now there's more than 100 million books in the world today." Now that's a conservative estimate if Ive ever heard one.
Probably meant unique.
Basically, the Roman Empire set the precedent for how everyone lives there life today
ROMA = CIVILIZZAZIONE
Romans greatest invention was Western Civilization
Surgical tools and surgery was invented by sushruta! That's why we call him father of surgery! Go check on internet! And stop fooling people! You just don't want to accept that it was an Indian who invented surgery and surgical procedures and instruments.

Are you ready for Heaven? Have you ever lied, stolen used God's name as a curse word (O-M-G)? According to God's law, you're guilty. But wait, God loves you, he made a way out. God so loved the world that he gave his only son that whoever believes in him will not die but have everlasting life. John 3:16 Please think about it. Repent/believe before the rapture, before the one world government. Jesus died for you,live for him. Love U

The Roman invention with the greatest and most long-lasting impact is Catholicism / Christianity
That's not an invention. Religion is cultural, same with other ideological movements. Besides, Catholicism wasn't just of Roman origin; many of the ancient church documents were written in Greek and Hebrew.
