These "inventions" were then in a simpler or different form, but with a similar purpose such as these contemporary
What are the inventions that can still be found today in modern society-in time, and they have melted thousands of years ago, you will learn from the next lines of the text.
1. Prostheses and plastic surgery - 3000 years before Christdenture fingers thousands of years agoThe first attempts to "repair" the physical appearance of people go back to ancient times, but apparently they were not as successful as these contemporary ones. One example is this Egyptian thumb inlay that did not look so fancy and pleasant. Another example comes from ancient India - where evidence of adapting the shape of the nose is found, using the skin from the forehead or face.
2. Sewage - 2600 years before Christsewage before ChristThe first sewerage system belonged to the civilizations of the Indus valley. In Mogenjo-daro there were public toilets as well as city drainage system. Sewerage existed in Babylon, some Chinese cities and in Rome, where it was part of the colloquial engineering project Cloaca Maxima, whose remains survived to modern times
3. Batteries - 2500 years before ChristBaghdad batteryBaghdad battery is a ceramic vessel that contains a copper tube and an iron wire inside. Replicas of these batteries have shown that it can actually produce some voltage. It follows that the ancient Babylonians knew the galvanization method used by these containers, although there are some skeptics who claim that this was not their purpose.
4. Flame thrower!flame thrower thousands of years agoThe prototype of this firearm was used for the first time during the Battle of Delija, 424 BC. when Athens and Thebes fought. An ancient flame-thrower or "Greek fire" consisted of a copper tube that pumped out a liquid flammable mixture, and the buoyancy power was obtained from compressed air or large prototype balloons.
5. Alarm - 400 years before ChristPlato's alarmThe Greek philosopher Plato used a water watch that could produce a sound that would indicate that it was time to begin his lectures. Water alarms were further developed in ancient Rome and the Middle East. Mechanical shock watches that were able to ring at a certain time of day were the first to appear in China in the 8th century; in Europe such watches arrived much later only in the 14th century
6. Robots ?!robots thousands of years agoThe prototypes of modern robots were female figures placed on the pharaoh's lighthouse 323.g.pr.Kr. At regular intervals, they turned and hit the bells. They roared aloud at night, warning the seamen near the shore. Subsequently, in the 17th and 18th centuries in Europe, machines were called cars that gained popularity in Western Europe. These were mechanisms on watches that looked like humans or animals and were able to perform various actions.
7. Odometer - 1st centuryOdometerAn instrument measuring the distance traveled by a vehicle or odometer is most likely the invention of the Archimedes. The first odometer looked like a set of small points with numbers on them that showed how far the vehicle was moving as it moved. Independently of Archimedes, a similar device was invented by the Chinese philosopher and scientist, Zhang Heng.
8. Computer - Antichrist - 100 years before ChristAntikiteraIt is believed that the Mechanism from Antikitera is the first ancient "computer", which was actually a mechanical calculator used to calculate astronomical positions. He was discovered in 1901 by a sea sponge hunter in a wreck of a sunken merchant ship near the Greek island of Antikitera.
The dimensions of the Anticimer mechanism are 33 cm (height), 17 cm (width) and 9 cm (thickness). It is made of bronze and placed in a frame of wood. It contains a text of about 3,000 letters, which has been deciphered in the last couple of years. The text is a kind of instruction manual, with sections on astronomy, geography, and mechanics.
9. Seismoscope - 132 yearsSeizmoscopeAnother invention of Zhang Heng is the seismicism that could react to the upcoming earthquake. It was rather fair, but the precise construction - the bronze ball was designed from one of the eight pipes shaped like a dragon's head, which fell into the mouth of a corresponding metal frog seated
