      We're not any smarter than our ancestors, but collectively, the technical achievements of today, and accumulated knowledge far exceed anything in the ancient world. It doesn't make us any smarter, but think about it; you're typing on a computer. You drive a car. You probably have central heating and air conditioning in your house, etc.

    Damascus steel is actually not high performance compared to modern steel; but it was very superior to the ferrous metals of the time. And of course very beautiful. The “wootz” ingots it was made from actually came INTO the middle east from south India and Sri Lanka.

      Original Damascus steel for example, is similar to, but not identical to modern pattern welded steel.
      The reason for this, and the explanation of why new Damascus steel stopped being produced, was discovered recently.
      There were impurities in the original ore that resulted in a superior alloy.
      That ore was found in only one location and was depleted.

    I started the last part about ancient 'flying machines', where it started out with this fantastical speculation that somehow the ancient Egyptians knew how to made something that flies.

      I think the insect is a dragonfly. There are a number of Egyptian faience dragonflies and some in carvings of boating/nature scenes. One characteristic of a species in Egypt is a weird way of holding the body at a sticky-up angle when resting.

      @@Interdiction
      That could be argued.
      Early Japanese steel, such as that during the warring periods, was of exceptional quality, and is reminiscent of early 'Damascus Steel' which was made from ingots of Wootz Steel which found it's way to the weapon manufacturers in the Middle East, primarily what is now Syria (Damascus).
      Wootz steel was produced in southern areas of India, in areas such as Kerala.
      It has been suggested that the steel used to make to Wootz steel, which made it superior, was due to contamination, which at first made it a sought-after item, but when those same materials began to lose it's favourable features, wasn't 'lost', but simply fell into decline.
      Modern steels that are called Damascus use the layering, or twisting of rods, to try and obtain what made Wootz steel unique, in that it could hold it's sharp edge enabling it to cut cleanly and remain sharp, whilst simultaneously soft enough to prevent it snapping.
      The old Japanese steel was made by fold-welding their steel many times, yet I understand it was both the composition and application of the clay along the cutting edge, which changed the steel after quenching to give it it's sharpness, whilst as per Wootz steel, the bulk of the blade wasn't as hard, which would lead to shattering by being too brittle.
      SO whilst I present this point of view, it is to say that there are differences today, but in those earlier times both Japanese and Wootz items would both have been prized possessions.

    It's our hubris that keeps us blind to how advanced our ancestors were. How many of our artifacts (both quantity because of planned obsolescence and type because of the perfect storm of conditions required to preserve) would survive for millennia? How many of them would be understandable without a written explanation? But if you believe that we're somehow superior because of "evolution," it would be a serious blow to the ego to think we're not any better and likely worse - after all, we're standing on the shoulders of those who came before, but they had to develop these things without that advantage.

      I would say people back in the day had lots of spare time to think about where their next meal came from, and if they were not working or preparing for their next meal, they did not eat, and if they had a family to provide for, no one ate, so the whole day was filled with planting, tending, preparing, and caring for all food stuffs needed to prevent starvation, and depending on climate and seasonal conditions, times could get pretty hard. I would say there was in fact little time to doddle around for the average dweller. The fact that some of the technology that appears from ancient times is discovered to be advanced is a good indication that maybe it came from somewhere else.

    We make a grave mistake to think the ancients were some how less intelligent than we are today. There is considerable evidence that they were far more intelligent than we are. Genetics proves that each generation develops more defects than the previous one. Also, while we have the advantage of accumulated knowledge, we are more dependent on the accumulation of knowledge than previous generations who had a greater diversity of skills and technologies we do not understand. Languages are becoming more simplified as time passes. People have a smaller vocabulary than just a few generations ago.

      @PaulKinley54 I think you are missing to point. I do not lack knowledge of history. There have been technological advances even in my lifetime that would amaze previous generations. That is not the point. Genetically we degenerate by approximately 100 defects per generation. What previous generations achieved without our modern knowledge is phenomenal. There are many things in history that we cannot do today. We are dumber in our language skills, we rely on technology, and without the accumulated knowledge we would still be without electricity.
      Your first sentence is offensive. You have never met me, do not know me and you just showed your lack of knowledge in history and science.

      Eclipses are astronomical events, not astrological. They, along with some comets, the periodic ones, are predictable with mathematics or observation of recurrences.
      Yes, such observations/calculations were undoubtedly used to influence the common people - such as the Aubrey holes at Stonehenge to predict eclipses.

    By the way, Greek Fire was composed of 40% asphalt, 10% sulfur, 50% saltpeter (approximately). All of these materials were readily available in the historical era when Greek Fire was in use. It is easy to duplicate. Just grind saltpeter into a very fine dust, add finely powdered sulfur, and then stir the mixture of powders into molten asphalt. Voilà!

    at mark 13:52 the round stone carving is filled with many Chinese characters. majority is the Chinese character for month or referring to the moon. My history teacher specialized in Oriental cultures. He did mention the Chinese settled in Mexico and along the Central and South America. The cheek bone/jaw resemble to Chinese feature. Even the Chinese sea merchants sailed across Pacific Ocean from Philippine to trade. The native America Indians all migrated crossing the Bering strait.

      Denisovan DNA (first located in Siberia) is shared by modern humans at ~1.4%
      The percentages are higher in people from higher elevations, Nepal, Bhutan, and so on, have a higher Denisovan DNA percentage, with some speculating it is this which allows those people to develop, and today maintain, their ability to withstand higher elevations, where there is less Oxygen in the atmosphere.
      Strangely, the DNA of peoples of Papua New Guinea and Australian show up to 4% Denisovan, which would indicate that Denisovan groups, or the Neanderthal sub-species, interbred with Denisovans (as occurred with H. sapiens), travelled vast spaces.
      African DNA has been found in Neantherthal DNA, but no Denisovan DNA has been found in Africa, suggesting that early species that left Africa inter-bred with Neanderthals, but that neither Neanderthals or their crossed offspring, travelled back into Africa.
      The DNS of peoples in Papua New Guinea and Australian is also the closest match to those early archaic Homo-subspecies in Africa, supporting the theory that those early out-of-Africa people migrated out, down through the subcontinent, and into the areas they now occupy, likely using land-bridges before ocean levels began to rise.
      Nearly all modern Homo sapiens still carry very percentages of Neanderthal DNA.
      The out-of-Africa model also fits in with the idea of Homo subspecies developing independently in localised areas, before breeding with other archaic humans.
      This also gives rise to the theory that some of these early human species travelled to what is now Taiwan, and further south to the Philippines, eventually becoming the indigenous populations of those places.
      Genetics, DNA distribution, give an interesting insight into early development of who we are now.
      As for Chinese characters, one author suggests that Chinese mariners discovered the northern coast of Australia circa early 1400's.
      Ask your history teacher to cover the migration, and interbreeding, of those early H. sub-species, as well as the currently supported migration routes which have been mapped out by genome tracing.
