Ancient technology is completely different from modern technology. There is a lot of evidence that our ancestors have the skills and abilities that we lack today. We may know some processes, but not all of them. Here are some of ancient technologies that were way ahead of their time.
5000-year-old water system
A 5000-year-old water system has been unearthed by archaeologists in Iran during a rescue excavation project at Seimareh Dam reservoir. The water system consists of a small pool and a long earthenware pipeline. Each earthenware pipe measures about one metre in length and its likely that the structure was made and baked in this region. The Persians, as we know them, were one of the first civilizations to implement an advanced water supply system and one of the greatest aqueduct builders of the ancient world.
The Iron Pillar of IndiaIn the Qutub complex of Delhi stands one of the most curious metal objects called the Iron Pillar of Delhi. Having an existence of around 1600 years, the pillar is almost 24 feet high and weighs more than 6 tons. It is famous for its non-rusted state, despite being made of 99% iron, and having been constructed in the 5th century CE. However, some theories say it is probably humidity factors or the quality of the materials used that caused a protective layer to appear on the pillar.
