      Terraced farmland is found all around the world anyplace people live on mountains. It’s just common sense to flatten the land to make it easier to walk on (it’s easier to work on flat ground than on a hill) and to retain water rather than have it all just rush downhill.

      @@user-xk1ff4gp7k Well.. let's think about that. If I bury paper, parchment, leather, even clay tablets for 5K years, in most cases there will be nothing left. Stone carvings are the most durable. Also, our structures, our highways, everything... if there was no one to maintain them, the land would start reclaiming them in a few decades. By 10K years later, there wouldn't be much left at all. There was a series on I think Discovery a few years ago that examined this, that we will leave very little to indicate we were ever here. We build no solid stone megaliths... Concrete erodes... Trees come back... freezing happens... If you add to that continental drift and cataclysmic natural events, what would be left of US? Our plastic gadgets will form into stones over time, the metal in them will corrode, the cases surrounded by slurry/mud.
      How would they write us a message? What medium would tolerate time if buildings would be gone in a few hundred years? How would future generations find it? What if it's in a location that gets hit with a volcanic eruption, flood, etc.

      Most of Roman infrastructure like paved roads, plumbing, aqueducts, and concrete buildings were originated from the Etruscans. The Estruscans was the most developed society at the time before the Romans came into power. All those things that was built by the Roman Empires as they grow and expanded were all stuff from the Estruscans. What happened to them? The Romans with their growing power completely conquered and destroyed the Estruscans civilization. They looted and taken their technology and wonders for themselves. There were no define unity between the Estruscans as they were city-states. So it was an easy conquest for the growing power of the Romans to take upon themselves.

In the last couple of years they have made great strides in trying to find the right formula that the Roman's used, and to be fair they have gotten really close to it, but the fact remains they have yet to figure out the exact formula. This is a forgotten technology that we in the 21st century have yet to recreate.

    Something I remember Mike Loades saying during a documentary with Tony Robinson on the Peasants Revolt was something to the effect that "Historians loved recording what happened but not the how it happened" in the example Mike and Tony were trying to explain how the Peasants during the revolt got to London in the time they did. I think this comes from people back then thinking that something would be universally understood later but not accounting for changes in technology, geography and other factors.

    There is another example about swords: Around the year 0, Norikan swords were popular in ancient Rome.
    About 300BC, there was an explosion of a meteorite in mid-air above the Noriker's homeland in southern Bavaria, near the nowadays austrian border. That meteorite scattered a healthy amount of iridium across the landscape. For 300 years this displaced the population, but when they returned they unknowingly used PROTOSOLAR MATTER that hardened their sword blades.
    At that time it was normal that swords were bending during battles and needed to be straightened. With their harder to bend swords the romans had a clear edge! (Ha, pun...)

    The Ancients don't get nearly enough of the recognition and respect that they deserve.
    It seems bonkers to us for a people to drag enormous monoliths 100+ miles on wooden runners from a quarry to a specific site, only for them to set them upright and atop one another. But one thing I always keep in mind is WHAT ELSE ARE THE GOING TO DO? Obviously they have to keep themselves alive with clothing, shelter, and food from hunting, gathering, farming, etc. Aside from that, there were no streaming services, video games, or even books (in many cases) to keep them entertained day in and day out. Instead, they carefully watched the cycles of earth's seasons, the moon's phases, and the movement of the stars. Over and over. Every single day. For their entire lifetime. I have a feeling that their perception of passing time was very different from ours.
    The giant "steps" were almost certainly used for terraced farming. They still use terraces for crops right there in the same valley to this day! You can easily see them from the giant steps by simply turning around, hahaha.
    The Nazca Lines could have easily been formed by first precisely drawing a much smaller image, then meticulously scaling it up. With ropes and stakes and one hell of an understanding of dimension, they were etched in the soil for whomever to see. They didn't need to be able to see it from above to know what it looked like. As to why? Who knows, but I'd bet a dollar they were intended for gods or maybe a calendar or something. Maybe even several different uses.

    The Chameleon cup is a wonder because its colours depend on nano-particles, and the speaker speculates (at 4:31) how they could have mastered the techniques without computers or microscopes. My understanding is (correct me if I'm wrong) that the micro-particles are too small to see with a microscope even if you had one - but in fact, stained glass windows use the same techniques, and they have been around for a long time too, in old churches. Perhaps this glass technique has been pased down from the Romans - that's a possibility - but a lot of what was known in those days was NOT passed down. For example, until the Anti-Kythera mechanism was found, examined and decoded, we believed that the earliest mechanisms using cogwheels in that way, were clocks, which were invented in the 13th century - yet the Antikythera mechanism was much more sophisticated than any early clock - and it comes from the time of Archimedes!

    He's right about Wootz steel. Only Japanese swordsmiths ever truly use anything like the old ways anymore. The bands come from folding and twisting of the steel to drive out impurities and smoothen the carbon content throughout. Modern Damascus is more of a statement, because it simply layers different types of finished steel bars or rods, which does not improve upon the performance of a single piece of well-made, well-forged steel.

      The wootz steel was never made by the Japanese. Roselli makes knife blades out of wootz steel. In wootz steel hard iron carbides are dispersed which make the blades very hard. It was made in the Middle East. I read a technical report on exactly how it was made over 40 years ago based on an examination of a wootz manufacturing site in the Middle East. It was not folded like pattern welded steel.

    The mysterious non-rusting iron pillar of India is definitely not magic or really that advanced at all. I've heard the pillar contains a high level of phosphorus, which will not allow the iron to rust. This can be done accidentally by not purifying the iron during smelting, or added accidentally from the fire used to make the metal. Also, I've also heard the pillar was regularly coated in butter (or ghee) for centuries, which will obviously stop the iron from rusting. Also, the pillar used to be much deeper in the ground, and contrary to its mythical status, isn't actually non rusting, as the first few feet (that used to be in the ground) has quite a lot of rust on the surface. Therefore, it would have been much easier for people to oil (butter?) the upper metal and stop it from rusting. The pillar was then dug up and moved at a later date, and not sunk into the ground as much, which is why the lower half (which was buried) is rusty.
    EDIT: About the sword of Goujian, if the edge of the blade was genuinely made of tin, or somehow tin plated, that would explain how it is still sharp and resistant to "rust" (actually, tin oxidizes but is the same process as rusting). Tin basically does not break down like iron or steel does due to oxidation, because the oxygen does not penetrate the thin layer of oxidized metal created at the surface. Iron and steel continues rusting beyond the surface due to molecular physics (that I will not go in to). Basically oxygen transfers from the surface atoms of iron to the next layer down, which is then replaced by more free oxygen in the air until the entire piece of metal is rusted all the way through. Tin and copper don't have this occur. Copper also has the same properties as tin, which is why copper water pipes don't "rust" through and stay intact for a LONG time. The surface layer of oxidation protects the copper (or tin) below.

      also look up terrace farms, these arent even close to resemble them, but whatever. I dont mind that we dont know, so we can guess and speculate and fantasize about what they couldve been
      lastly why would they build terrace farms out of rocks, so precise, there is and was an easier way to do them, u dont need big rocks to make terraces

    at 9:51, the correct term is "oxidation". The term "OXIDIZATION" does not exist. Iron found at the sea bottom does not rust if there are lots of impurities in it such as silicon. This 1600 year old piece of iron likely had lots of silicon impurities in its' alloy of iron.

    Well, instead of saying "how on earth did these people with primitive means do these things?", the REAL scientific approach should be to say "maybe our view of these people's means is completely off". These building, computing and metal-making techniques (I didn't go to the end of the video, there may be more) were very efficient - why think they arrived at all these things "by accident", "without knowing what they were doing"? If these skills were lost, it's probably because of stupid domination or conquest sequences. For example, if the conquistadores had been less primitive (and stupid), they could probably have asked how the citadels in the Andes was built and got an answer. Same for the crusaders and Damascus steel.
