    Those repeating crossbows were able to shoot fast, but their drawweight was really weak. So the crossbow itself would not kill anyone and it was also very short-ranged. They had to use poison to make them deadly and it was primarly a self-defense weapon for untrained people. So it wasn't really superior to later medieval crossbows and bows which had a lot more reach and force. But there was a cool story about a guy with the name Yang Xuan in 180 AD. According to the story he managed to defeat rebel forces by wagons full of lime. The wind blew the lime in the direction of the rebel forces and it blinded them. Then they set rags on the tails of the horses of some other wagons in fire so the horses would run at the enemy without the need for a driver and there were mounted crossbows on the wagons with a mechanism connected to the wheels so the crossbows were basically automated and shot randomly. And the rebel forces tried to shoot back, but just wounded each other. But it really sounds just like a tale without much evidence that it was true. But at least it shows that they were able to imagine a mechanism like that.

    Half of these aren’t even ground breaking. Chi-Ko-Knu WAS not as powerful as a gun. It had a weak draw weight. Otherwise you physically couldn’t cram it down fast enough if it was a heavy powerful crossbows Building a large ship that didn’t do anything is NOT amazing. It is awe inspiring. But not history changing. Chariots where easily defeated by Roman Infantry. It is called tactics.

    Tessarakonteres (Greek: τεσσαρακοντήρης, "forty-rowed"), or simply "forty" was a very large catamaran galley reportedly built in the Hellenistic period by Ptolemy IV Philopator of Egypt. It was described by a number of ancient sources, including a lost work by Callixenus of Rhodes and surviving texts by Athenaeus and Plutarch. The trireme, a three-ranked galley with one man per oar, was the main Hellenistic warship up to and into the 4th century BC. At that time, a requirement for heavier ships led to the development of "polyremes" meaning "many oars", applied to "fours" (tetre- in Greek, quadri- in Latin) or more and "fives" (penta- in Greek, quinque- in Latin) and later up to "tens", the largest that seems to have been used in battle. Larger polyremes were built, with Ptolemy II Philadelphus eventually building a "twenty" and a "thirty", and Ptolemy IV Philopator building the "forty".

    I admire your decision to investigate ancient technology with an open mind. Most western scholars faced with sophisticated artifacts, come to the same conclusion the nuns in Catholic school came to whenever we asked a question they couldn’t answer: “It’s a mystery!” Social Darwinism is largely to blame for this "confusion" about old artifacts and history in general. Social Darwinism is a remnant of the now-outdated and simplistic Darwinian theory that makes the assumption that we moderns, simply by virtue of our survival, are the pinnacle of a long, unbroken social and technological evolution of our species, therefore anything and anyone who came before us in time was by definition more primitive than we are. But everything we humans in 2022 know of technology, from antibiotics to internal combustion engines, to airplanes to moon landings to laser surgery to computers, all of it, we developed in less than 2000 years despite serious and sometimes deadly opposition from the Church, perhaps the most powerful cultural institution of that period. Modern humans with their big brains have existed on the planet for 200,000 years at least, which is 100 times longer than our entire period of technological advancement. Our belief that humans discovered fire, made a stone hatchet, invented a bow and arrow, and then cowered in fear of the darkness around a campfire picking their noses for another 199,000 years is so ludicrous as to be insane. Our willingness to cling to Social Darwinism is a definitive testament to our contemporary arrogance, and, ironically, to our sad ignorance of history resulting from that arrogance. Pride may “goeth before a fall,” but it also goeth before a breathtaking level of willful stupidity!

    If you are interested in ancient cartography (map making), check out "Maps of the Ancient Sea Kings" by Charles Hapgood. It presents evidence that even prior to the ancient Egyptians, Romans and Greeks, some peoples had knowledge of, and had explored both Americas, Greenland and Antarctica... and their maps survived through copying and re-copying into the European Middle Ages. Some of these maps seem to show glacial features and land areas no longer present since the end of the last Ice Age, with resultant sea level rise. These unknown ancients also seem to have knowledge of spherical geometry and the accurate size of the Earth. The book can be a bit dry, but it is still an amazing read.

    Tech only stays if it gets remembered, and to be remembered it needs to be used by a lot of people... in war investments are bigger, as are production runs, more people get to know about the awesome power of iron weapons and how sturdy they are, and then they go to that one blacksmith they served with and go "hey joe you think you can make sum hoes out of that fancy sword-stuff? Im starting to think my wooden one is really bad) and bam iron farming tools take over the world. If it had stayed as just fancy sword-stuff that only one or two people know how to make, or jewelry (which it was used as for quite a while) it might have been forgotten. The best way to make sure something stays in peoples minds, is to fuck some shit up with it.

    What was the projection technology the man was wearing on his wrist to show how the rowers of the huge Egyptian ship was configured. That's a question, do we have projectors that create that 3D sort of hologram look from that sequence between 3:30 and 4:10?

    My biggest question even till now is , "How do the Egyptians build those pyramids during those times,and put every single block on top of another which weight more 1000kgs each?

    i think the giant blocks used for building the pyramids would have been easier if pulled on its edge to reduce surface friction underneath, it makes sense to move them his way, all that is needed was a log on each side to rest the block on and to keep it steady, even if the logs were dragging it woud still be considerably easier.

    @@davidsamudio3899 It is a famous misconception. Surely the wars destroyed much but the most knowledge had already spread to other countries. I would call the collapse of the bronce age (famine) and after that the fall of rome (pestilence and politics) as two of the main reasons why we see ancient technology with unbelieving eyes.
