people claim things are lost when they really arent
Roman Concrete
constantinople remained unsullied from its inception to 1204
with all sorts of things there, knowledge of ancient technologies of course
they didnt reporudce things because they didnt need to
Just reverse engineer the concrete lmao
this is pure autism, guys
God, I love this server
Another one, the Egyptian writings Solon talks about
they were considered unnecessary to the needs of the current society
Then there's also greek computers that were lost
We get a small glimpse from what Solon passed on, but much of it is lost
lostech irl
holy shit that's awesome
Also roman steam power
If anything is evidence of time travel it's greece & rome
rome didnt have steam power
they had a spinny thing they found entertaining
It was proposed to use it for power
someone in the middle ages invented refrigeration too
they just used it for party tricks
So reducing their value would have basically ruined the post-money roman economy
Capitalism is what drives innovation
Probably required too much power to keep things cool for long time
considering that most of what roman slaves did was agriculture
Anything else is stagnating and party tricks
and all the steam engine is good for really is pumping water
assuming you dont have high class metallurgy to make railroads and stuff
i think the slaves jobs wouldve been pretty secure even if they did mechanize it
but they didnt
Imagine if a Roman built a steam boat
can you fucking imagine steampunk rome
to build a steam boat you need paddles
or screws
Or a train
they didnt have the metallurgy for screws
much less a full train
maybe a paddle boat
What would you need screws for
