What you see in the picture now is considered the first dealing machine in history. It looked quite simple; you threw a coin and got a glass of holy water in exchange. This machine was the first described in the workshop of Hero of Alexandria, a mathematician and mastermind who lived during the first century A.D. Nowadays, these machines are widespread, but it’s challenging to imagine that they were constructed so long ago.
In this composition, we’ll discuss historical technologies and inventions that could still astonish the modern world. More than two thousand years ago, a significant armament was created in China, comparable in power to the Kalashnikov rifle. It was presumably the first rapid-fire armament in history. Although people were still far from the invention of pellets and other modern triggers, the repeating Zeus crossbow made Chinese soldiers incredibly effective.
The action of threading the bowstring, placing the gunshot, and lowering the bowstring could be done with one hand, unlike medieval crossbows. Thanks to the magazine case with bolts, the Zeus crossbow could fire from 7 to 10 bolts in 15 to 20 seconds. To put it in perspective, an ordinary crossbow can only shoot about two bolts per second. In the third century A.D. or perhaps even earlier, an upgraded version of this crossbow could shoot two or three bolts simultaneously.
For comparison, an ordinary crossbow can only shoot about two bolts per second, and the skilled sportsman can shoot 10 arrows. See the difference? All this occurred in the alternate or third century A.D., or perhaps even before that. Interestingly, the Zeus crossbow was last used in real battles in the late 19th century. It wasn’t just a crossbow; it was a timeless classic. Another intriguing fact is that the Chinese repeating crossbow shoots bolts at the same speed as the Winchester Model 1873 switch action rifle. It may not be as good as the AK-47, but it’s still remarkable.

in his time Archimedes made numerous discoveries in the field of figure he was the first to mention some ideas about fine analysis and laid the foundation for mechanics hydrostatics and he constructed the pulley system.
moment it’s used far and wide but in In ancient times heavy loads were lifted only by people and the heavier the cargo was the further people it took to lift it for illustration to get commodity off the ground that counted a ton it was necessary to call at least 40 people can you imagine how hard it was to make anything wow but Archimedes came up with a way to make people stronger without any mutations only a system of pulleys and wenches that made it easier to lift any cargo in In simple words the weight of the weight is distributed on a rope the longer it’s the further weight a person can lift and although the whole process takes further time it can be done with lower than 40 people there is indeed a legend that Archimedes alone was suitable to pull a boat to shore using only his pulley system hopefully also he watched a bunch of people trying to push the boat back into the water and chortled okay well Archimedes and his pulleys ropes regulators and other inventions are relatively notorious but what if I told you there is at least one dupe of a swiss army cutter in the world which is 1800 times old and of course it’s not from Switzerland the cutter was actually created by roman handicraftsman it includes a ladle a chopstick a cutter an awl and a small shovel everything that a rich rubberneck demanded in ancient times I’ve no idea what he did with the awl in the shovel dispensable to say the essence faded a little and fraudulent over time but if you could look at a ultramodern dupe also hell is there one on eBay I completely buy that unlike the usual swiss army cutter which is appreciated for its convenience and functionality is an ancient roman interpretation emphasized the status of the proprietor not everyone could go to eat well on the road let alone do it with proper chopstick indeed moment in fact Romans carried a the whole set of flatware in their pockets perhaps in the other fund, they carried a tableware set inherited from their grandparents

saw it’s possible to cut sandstone or limestone into pieces maybe that is how Egyptian statues were sculpted and the conglomerations were erected the Egyptians also had drills which allowed them to make holes indeed in similar hard accoutrements as determinedness and mystification ultramodern scientists you know I am beginning to suppose if I start studying history I will discover that there is nothing new in the ultramodern world everything we use moment everything that is considered the result of progress was formerly constructed thousands of times ago it’s just that humanity has managed to forget about all the cool technologies and now we’ve to rediscover them I am going to study this issue more nearly in the meantime,
