These technologies have long known.
Some modern inventions have indeed emerged many centuries or even millennia ago. The assertion that all ancient people were primitive, is a blatant injustice.
Prosthetics and plastic surgery, 3000 BC
The first attempts to correct the deficiencies are to the earliest times. One example is an Egyptian prosthetic toe, which was not just aesthetic, but also quite effective.
Sewer system, approx. 2600 BC.
The earliest sewage belonged to the Indus valley civilization: Mohenjo-Daro were the public toilets and the city sewage system. Mention of the wastewater was also known in Ancient Babylon, in some Chinese cities, and in Rome.
Battery, approx. 2500 BC
The Baghdad battery is a ceramic pot containing a copper tube with an iron rod inside. Copies of this battery are really able to create some tension. Perhaps the ancient Babylonians knew the method of galvanization, which used these containers, although skeptics claim that they served only for the storage of scrolls.
Flamethrower, about 420 BC.
The prototype of this formidable weapon was first used at the battle of Delium. The flamethrower was a copper pipe used for projection of liquid fuel-air mixture.
Alarm clock, approx. 400 BC
The Greek philosopher Plato used a water clock that can beep to remind him that it was time to begin his lectures. In Ancient Rome and the middle East were developed by the water alarm.
Vending machine, 1st century ad.
Nowadays vending machines can sell anything from toys to freshly baked pizza. During the time of Heron you could only buy Holy water to wash the hands in temples. After making the coin device, it will actuate a mechanism that gave some of the water from the reservoir to the client.
Odometer, 1st century ad
Architect Siracusa was invented a tool to measure the distance traveled by the vehicle or. First the odometer was similar to a set of small wheels with numbers on them which showed the distance travelled as you move the vehicle.
Computer, 100 BC
A lot of the Antikythera mechanism is considered “ancient computer” because this device can track the movement of heavenly bodies and predict solar and lunar eclipses. It was also used to calculate the start date of the Olympic games.
