Simon!. Kids are baby goats!.
Simon Whistler, look up the roman surgical instruments from a history channel video I saw years ago we are using the same style of surgical instruments today and they were doing cataract surgery back then.
you should stop advertising vpn enabling netflix out of country, netflix as caught up with that a while back already.
Do you mention MATH? Math, needs to be found …
Some people would rather believe Aliens did it, than ancient civilizations managed it. Meanwhile 2000+ years ago, ancient Greeks calculated the size of Earths sphere, but 10% of the internet are convinced it's flat
To be fair, they would rather believe that aliens did it because aliens=exciting, not so much because they’re skeptical of ancient humans
flat brains see flat earth
i believe aliens had something to do with our past...the pyramids are much much older than the Egyptians, who knows, maybe some hybrid civilization or aliens helped the humans back then build them like moving those 70 ton slabs within the pyramids etc...just a thought ! mainstream science would never admit such things bc it messes up everything we know
Given that all of the civilizations influenced by ancient aliens were neolithic, the ancient aliens must have been like the Flintstones, but with flying saucers.
@@rathersane That would make them the Jetsons!
I absolutely adore this video. My dad has said regularly since I was a child, and I now say to my children, that people who give credit to aliens or magic based on new age stuff for things that ancient man did, they are saying our ancestors were stupid, which they were profoundly not. They were every bit as intelligent, they just had less of a knowledge base to draw from. They were PERFECTLY capable.
Courtesy of the harsher environments they lived in, they may have actually been slightly more intelligent, on average, than we are.
@@michaelrichter9427much more intelligent! We have an incredible knowledge base (their observations and calculations ARE that base) yet, on average, we fall somewhere between imbeciles and idiots in comparison.
I think there is an extremely high probability we have had alien interference and not because I think our ancestors were stupid but because of several aspects of very early history that don’t make sense. I find a lot of extremely well read people believe the same.
Your dad lied.

There is actually a record from ancient Rome that seems to indicate they knew about micro-organisms.
“Precautions must also be taken in the neighbourhood of swamps, both for the reasons given, and because there are bred certain minute creatures which cannot be seen by the eyes, which float in the air and enter the body through the mouth and nose and there cause serious diseases."
Terentius Varro
De Re Rustica, 1.12
WOW!
I love Terentius movies. He’s a great writer and director.
Yeah, kinda makes one wonder if the Romans were closer to developing Germ Theory or old-fashioned Miasma Theory.
@@joshuahunt3032 If microscopes haven't been invented, is there really that much of a practical difference between Germ Theory and Miasma Theory? Miasma is not correct but it is an astonishingly good approximation.
@@caryeverett8914i mean past peoples understood that air can become contaminated from other things, just not really knowing the source, however, knowing the air was bad. There are several Indian scientists from the Golden Age of India (300 - 600 CE) that knew about some form of germ theory and how regular washing of hands, feet and face along with regular bathing helped reduce disease.
“No aliens necessary, it’s just human ingenuity.”
I’m taking that quote
Former district nurse here. We use honey with necrotic wounds, it has pretty amazing antibacterial properties. Silver and seaweed dressings also. Not to mention maggot therapy.
Is this Manuka honey because of the slightly higher bleach %?
It always got me thinking of the possibilities when I consider my grandfather, who was born in 1892, saw the first airplanes take flight and then witnessed man landing on the moon.
I live in the US southwest region and I'm constantly amazed by the ancient dwellings that have survived hundreds or even a thousand years, such as Mesa Verde. Also building them halfway down cliffs is astounding. It makes practical sense for shelter and protection from enemies/animals, but it couldn't have been easy.
Mesa Verde is on my bucket list.
I've been to Mesa Verde twice. It is an amazing place. I have never doubted that there was ancient actual knowledge, but this video is a keeper!
Keep in mind that the ancient dwellings that did NOT survive are, well, we just don’t know about them.
I think all of this goes to show how much innovation can be achieved if you give people the resources to not constantly work and be able to think for a little bit.
That, my friend, is what i call "problem solving skills". Rushing through a project leads to error(s) in my experience. I bet they were ALOT more patient back then hahahahahahaha
You think they didn't work? Are you that daft or that lazy?
You should start a company. 😂
I agree 100%. People were free back then. They didn't have tech and HVAC but they also lived their lives as free people instead of being wage slaves for computers and creature comforts like we do today. Necessity is the mother of invention, and they had a lot of both.
@@no_step_on_snek9796 there were farmers. Obviously the people inventing stuff back then are all well off for their time. I'm just saying almost anybody could have came to come up with those innovations given the time and resources. Things today we think are so crazy people back then have done.
Plus fun fact they did have HVAC back then. Air conditioning existed thousands of years ago.
Can you imagine how advanced we'd be if he didn't have to keep rediscovering this stuff?
There is evidence that the Egyptians had at the very least a working knowledge of the Pythagorean theorem. They used a string of length a+b+c to make right angles, with a = 3 units, b = 4 units, and c = 5 units. As a²+b²=c², if the loop is closed, the angle where a touches b must be 90°. Simple and effective.

When Simon is 70, I hope he has a Merlin beard.
And a big pointy hat.
He hates fantasy, so I doubt that'll happen.
Just like sword in the stone!! Hawaii shirt and long grey beard.
It's finally gotten to the point that I don't have to go on Pornhub every time I see Simon.
He'd look absolutely awesome.
Impressive, but it still took until one generation ago to find a way to avoid going to school uphill both ways.
What a time to be alive.
My two teenage godsons would dispute that.

@@jonathanhirschbaum6754they had dentures, but other than that, still pretty bad comparatively.
Wrong!

If Columbus had used Eratosthanes' figure for the size of the Earth, he wouldn't have set out at all. The existence of America was unknown to Europeans at the time. For all they knew, there was nothing but open ocean all the way across to Japan and China. There was no way for ships of the period to make such a long voyage all at a go. This was, in fact, the essence of the dispute between himself and accepted scholarship, and why he found it so hard to get his voyage financed despite the wealth that would have been brought by success.
Columbus was an idiot who nearly got himself and his crew killed and was only saved by accidentally discovering a continent that he didn't realize existed. Which he thought was India because he openly rejected the scientific consensus regarding the circumference of Earth and was insisting the Earth was 1/3rd the size it actually was.
I'm surprised he didn't bring up Roman concrete.
Limited time, almost unlimited source material... He had to pick and choose the "biggies", and the more ancient the more remarkable.
But yeah, Roman concrete is a good one. That material is still standing today.
@@bytheleethere are some good videos about Roman concrete out there. I’ll never understand why so many people want to insult our ancestors by basically saying they were stupid when they clearly weren’t. Since the dawn of humanity there have been very smart people out there.
The Egyptian use of honey on wounds is very impressive, it's still used in modern medicine.
There is only 149 years between the discovery of Antarctica, and landing a man on the moon.
How is one relevant to the other?
@@ConcreteLand exploration, technologies' ramp up in the last 200 years.
Even cooler, it was just 66 years between the first man to fly an aircraft at Kitty Hawk and the first man to walk on the Moon ^_^

There is only 39y in between me popping in existance and this vid😂
Isnt that crazy?
Pythagoras was not made famous for discovering the Pythagorean properties of triangles. Instead he was made famous for making the first geometric proof of the property. Thus proving it holds for all right triangles and paving the way for mathematical proofs

I believe it was Socrates who said: "All Knowledge is Remembering"......
The prehistoric cave paintings in southern France became animated under firelight.
The paintings were done up to the ceilings of these caves, which go up to 10 feet in height.
I think you are describing Chauvet Cave - immortalised in a magnificent 2010 documentary movie by Werner Hertzog called "Cave of Forgotten Dreams". Anybody wanting a mind-blowing bit of armchair tourist culture should take a look. (Streaming services, CZcams...) These cave drawings were done some 32,000 years ago - twice as old as anything else ever discovered. Animals such as horses and rhinoceros are readily identifiable. And far more realistic than anything most people could draw today, never mind the animation and 3D effects. The artistry is so good, they might have been drawn yesterday. Except for the layers of calcite over the top, that provides the dating information. Calcite deposits cannot be rushed...
And this has what exactly to with the current episode?
@@arminhanik7229Just one more data point.
Reminder, Babylonians had the approximation of the value of square root of two since the 2nd Millenium BC, and sumerians from the 3rd millenium had division, multiplication and geometrical excercises
Sumerians invented just about everything
In ancient Rome, there were physicians/surgeons that were able to perform cataract surgery, without killing the patient, or blinding them. In fact, the patients not only survived, but were able to see clearly again.
"Standing on the shoulders of giants" and all that. There are a lot of things people today can re-learn from the past, but I've always maintained it's whoever did or invented something first, from first principles, who deserves the real praise.
Wow! Eratosthenes and his crew were definitely at the top of their game! Amazing stuff.
That last point is still good to remember when we are so isolated from other parts of the world seen as adversaries... Billions of people not normally collaborating day to day is a huge waste.
Sad you didn’t go over Hattusa and it’s incredible pipe water system.
History is so important. It's constantly agitated that it might have to repeat itself because we don't listen.
A never-ending cycle of ignorance triumphing over intelligence and then having to start over. During many revolutions, it's not the idiots whom are targeted but usually the thinkers. It has affected civilizations to this day.
0:59 - yes. can you imagine people navigated by paper maps and mapquest before gps?
Some people created the maps.
Just looking around me, today, I would wager that they were on the whole, more intelligent than we are....
That is just as much a fallacy as the assumption that ancients were dumber than us. For every Pythagoras, there were tens of thousands who couldn't have figured out how to plow a field without someone showing them. Not to mention the fact that we have general literacy, which is a quite recent development and makes even the dumbest of our days more educated and trained in systematic thinking than the majority of humanity just a few hundred years ago.
I found the opening scenes from "Idiocracy" to be an excellent explanation of why the human race is almost certainly on a current "dumbward trajectory".
When I look around, I feel my elders are generally better educated and more aware of things than the youth of today. Wisdom comes with age... or does it?
There is a danger that attention and learning has become highly focussed on "the wrong things". Like, celebrity and soap opera and fashion and drama... Having status symbols like the right smartphone and trainers have become "important", and can consume far too much time. Leaving too little for what used to be considered important.
I blame the internet. In the before times, the "village idiot" generally kept their idiocy within said village. Now, thanks to the internet, all the idiots from all the villages from all over the world have instant and constant contact with each other at all times. And, as the saying goes, never underestimate the power of stupid people in large groups.
@@bythelee Those elders just had different status symbols. Cars instead of trainers, expensive watches instead of smartphones. And they were the ones who invented those distractions in the first place. And life experience is a great thing when the world doesn't change that much, but in a world where computers went from rare furniture-sized luxury items to pocket-sized commodities, where information broadcast technology went from challenging to operate for countries to in the hands of most children, where Europe went from a divided continent to a almost borderless union - and all of that within one generation - experience becomes more of an obstacle than an advantage. Today's youth knows way more and can do way more than any generation before them and the elders struggle every day to keep up. And I say that as someone who has been around for more than two generations already.
Very nice compilations of early advanced technologies.
You mentioned communication towards closing, an excellent point, since it is in sharing and recording information we are able to pass on our advances to the next generation.
During Alexander the Great's time, the Greeks also took advantage of the parabola to create the acoustic amplifiers and reflectors to communicate from mountain top to mountain top. A few of the rare examples to still exist were in Afghanistan and Macedonia, and still work when we tried them on deployment. Wonder why that idea was not continues and expanded back then?
A modern equivalent would be the acoustic range detectors used in 1939 and 1940 Britain to track incoming raids. Radar of course soon surpassed that system but it did exist even in the 20th century.
Excellent series and articles, Simon and crew!
Thank you for making and posting them!
"Given more priority than the Residences of the Elite", Damn I wish we was like that.

Another Simon Whistler production. Yay. Good that aliens weren't necessary for construction projects. Very interesting.
Even earlier the knowledge of stone and what could be done with it is extraordinary, Pre-pottery knowledge of working with stone, still cannot be explained. From making cups and bowls to moving megalithic stonework, not to mention the precision that was used to create these objects. Our ancestors made good and creative use of what was around them. I was a seaman in the engine room on merchant ships in the late 60s, when something broke or stopped working, there was no place to go for parts or tools, we had to use what we had around us, or in a worst-case scenario have to abandon ship or even die.(In march 1966 in the North Sea after leaving Bremerhaven a rupture in the hall in the 5th cargo bay was letting sea water flood the the cargo space. The engineers on that ship worked and did some strange emergency fixes that saved our ship. They used what we had. Our ancestors did the same, they were wonderful and creative problem solvers.
Ancient civilizations had a major advantage over us in astronomy because they could actually see the night sky.
There are more egyptian papyri with medical content, like the Papyrus Ebers, which is kept in the library of the University of Leipzig. It contains generally the same set of advice and diagnostic methods as described in the Papyrus of Edwin Smith, but also adds a few magical prayers for a "medicine". The Edward Smith papyrus is the one among them, that omits such supernatural components.

My intro to philosophy professor spent more than half the semester on Plato and Pythagoras (since philosophers theorized about maths and science in order to understand the universe) and the amount of stuff I learned in that class about ancient knowledge was staggering.
Navigation by stars is always mind-blowing and to think did it all the time
More people should know about Heron of Alexandria (C1st AD) who invented programmable wagons, vending machines, the hydraulic telegraph, automatic doors, the steam engine, the syringe, wind powered machines, and even constructed and directed an entirely automatic play.
I heard that the ancient Egyptians used 22/7, which is 3.1429 and much closer to the real value of pi. Other mathematicians calculated fractions that were even closer.
idk about ancient egyptians, but my ancient dad, who would be 101 this year, used 22/7
There are a lot of such numbers. A favourite of mine is 355 / 113. Very close to pi, though a long time ago I memorised pi to 15 places and now it is stuck in my head.
"Medical honey" is still used for wound care even now.
You keep missing one syllable: EraTOSthenese, not Erasthenes.
Ancient ship building was super impressive
Liu Hui was the 3.14 mathematician. Zu Chongzhi was the 3.1415926 mathematician.
this is fantastically interesting. I don't think this is talked about nearly enough!
I miss the less cerebral Simon. I remember when it was "I'm Simon from WhatCulture and these are the 10 best Jock Strap Related Incidents from the WCW era"
Fascinating video thank you
"They certainly had more knowledge than they had wrote down."
Jeez, Simon is so loaded from his 100 channels that he has a time machine now to confirm his statements!
I think that inventions by Heron of Alexandria, especially those related to use of steam, albeit relatively recent (1st century AD) should have been mentioned. In different social and economic environment they could have started the industrial revolution 1500 years before is actually started.
It’s interesting that a lot of the public water fountains and infrastructure in Rome is still there and working today as well. Over 2K years later. Still drinkable and available for all.
Lui Hui … ‘cut’ 4:58
Thank you for this video! You can only hear about the horrible things people do for so long before it's all you think about. It happens too often in the media. Hearing about the great accomplishments of mankind is one of my favorite pastimes.
Ancient people is us, we are them.
Just a suggestion, you should consider working on the ending of your videos putting in some kind of short close instead of just leaving an abrupt end that leaves us wondering if part of the video got cut off.

Simon should have mentioned the Mesapotamian Battery, the earliest known battery discovered within the Sumerians ruins in Babylon, Iraq.
There are 13 Lunar Months, we use a Solar Calendar with 12 months.
"The months of the Gregorian calendar do not correspond to the moon's phases, but the calendar does have leap years to account for the Earth's revolution being slightly longer than 365 days. "
"Yes, the lunar calendar has 13 months, each with 28 days. The moon takes about 28 days to orbit the Earth, so in one year, the moon completes 13 orbits. The Celtic lunar calendar is an example of a 13-month calendar, with an extra day added at the end of the year."
These sorts of videos are super interesting :O

When you say hunter gatherer you might also be talking about horticulture.
The papyrus at 5,000 years old is nowhere near the age of the pyramids
The history of mathematics is an ever-growing series of abstractions. Evolutionarily speaking, the first abstraction to ever be discovered, one shared by many animals, was probably that of numbers: the realization that, for example, a collection of two apples and a collection of two oranges (say) have something in common, namely that there are two of them. As evidenced by tallies found on bone, in addition to recognizing how to count physical objects, prehistoric peoples may have also known how to count abstract quantities, like time--days, seasons, or years.

The ancient egyptian way of finding out the sex of your child before birth is something that always amazes me...
I've always wondered just how much bird shit ended up in the aqueduct's drinking water.
Honestly, look at all the historic buildings and then tell me the ancestors or even another civilization hadn't some technology we're not known to. I think it has to do with frequencies, sound, water and magnetic fields. Like the Pyramids are today known that they served as a battery and I think the historic building style also kind of uses the same mechanism. Probably has to do with "free energy" something that Tesla talked about.
Happy birthday week Simon!!!
Ancient peoples made astonishing progress in math, but what I wonder is what proportion of people excelled at math, funtionally for their work,or in a more abstract sense. Math is kinda like soccer, in that it requires much of a certain kind of ability and thought, but few materials. I don't know how we'd ever know, but this leave me profoundly curious about how math teaching in ancient times might have gone and how it would compare to today. If we only found some record, current teachers could actually fairly easily understand that, I'm sure. I have major struggles with math, so it interests me to think of all the difforent teaching appraoches to it and what we can learn from them. The thing being counted may have changed, but if the concepts haven't, so I ponder what some very old civilizations knew about teaching math that would solve much student frustration today.
The Romans began to settle around 15BC in the area today known as Xanten in Germany. They had running water and a function sewer system, a public bath house with under-floor steam heating and water flushed latrines. They had figured out that it is not a good idea to poop into one’s fresh water supply! Then came the ‘Dark Ages’, during which more than 1/3 of Europe’s population died from diseases caused by unsanitary conditions! 😮
I'm still waiting for the "how many channels does Simon Whistler have" episode...lol
If hunter-gathers made a calendr for recording and communicating about time, maybe that's a contener for the first writing system, rather than remarkable as predating writing systems. Writing communicates and records information without the need for speach. This is people doing that to keep track of and have some control over, things regarding time.
That blows my mind! 66 yrs to go from the first powered flight to walking on the moon!
The biggest stumbling block for them was medicine. The physical sciences were pretty advanced: math, engineering, and astronomy. But the people were not living past their 30’s or 40’s, which prevented that gained knowledge from propelling them even further. Medicine has proven to be the toughest nut to crack. Even in the modern era, it is way harder to cure diabetes or cancer than it is to make an iPhone, a self driving car or to make a space station.
Well, on average people weren't living very long, but individuals have always been living to a hundred or longer.

The way quantum physics and other science like JWST is beginning to show the same truths that cultures millenia ago understood far better than we do today. All the technology in the world may lead to answers on its own, but without the spiritual understanding (philosophy for example) the cultures understood I worry about the motives behind actions in governments today. The inability to look honestly within is what completes the equation and where the change actual must begin, meaningful change anyway. The habit science has today of discounting theories based on what they believe holds humanity's progress hostage. Imagine they did not spend billions of dollars, yet understood things as we are beginning to today... we are not as advanced as we may believe. I wonder what impacts centuries of this conduct has led to today.
Think about that the idea that it was like 60 or 70 years from the Wright brothers to us landing on the moon. I think one of the brothers died in 1948, 20 years before the moon landing
