Evidence of advanced technologies in ancient times; اری Civilizations that challenge history

Advanced ancient civilizations have been one of the topics that have been the minds of archaeologists, historians, and enthusiasts of unknown sciences for years. A scattered but reflective evidence shows that some of these civilizations had gained knowledge that even today is difficult to understand.

In this article, we look at the six amazing civilizations whose level of scientific and technical progress is questioning our view of human history.

Ancient Iranian Civilization

Engineering, astronomy and urban management at the height of civilization

Ancient Iranian civilization, especially during the Achaemenid era and before, had complex engineering systems, smart water supply systems such as aqueducts, and cities with accurate architectural order. The ancient Iranians were one of the first nations to have accurate solar calendar, observing the stars, and using astronomical knowledge to orient and determine time.

Complex administrative and bureaucratic systems in the Persian Empire, along with communication roads such as the “King’s Road”, are among the important achievements of engineering and planning on a widespread scale. Also, the remains of architecture in Pasargadae and Persepolis are a remarkable skill in structural engineering, stone and aesthetics.

Ancient Egypt

Advanced medical knowledge and advanced timing

The people of ancient Egypt, in addition to architecture and mathematics, were also leading in areas such as medicine and astronomy. They treated diseases such as malaria and parasitic disorders, and had devised methods that have been ahead of their time with a detailed understanding of human anatomy.

Ancient Egypt was the first civilization to provide a practical concept of “time”. In addition to the calendar, they built devices such as blue and solar clocks to measure time. In the field of linguistics, the Hieroglyphic line was one of the most sophisticated and sustainable writing systems in human history.

Maya civilization

Mathematics and Astronomics

The Mayans created a surprise in Central America by calculating the length of the solar year. They were one of the few civilizations that used the concept of zero in mathematics. Stone architecture, advanced writing system and their accurate calendar are examples of the scientific progress of this civilization.

Sumerian civilization

The first cities and engineering systems

The Sumerians in the Mesopotamia were among the first civilizations to establish urbanization, law writing, and irrigation systems. They developed their writing language, the cuneiform line, and had significant skills in astronomy, lunar calendar and account.

Sindh Valley Civilization

Advanced Urban Design and Health

The inhabitants of the Sindh Valley (Harapa) civilization were the first communities to build cities with regular streets, sewage networks and brick houses. The level of hygiene in this civilization is comparable to some modern cities.

Ancient Chinese civilization

Military and precise engineering technologies

Ancient Chinese civilization changed the path of history with inventions such as gunpowder, compass, printing and paper. They left engineering masterpieces in the construction of channels, dams and the Great Wall of China.

Conclusions; Look back in the past

Although some of these advances are still in a state of uncertainty, there is sufficient evidence to show that ancient civilizations were much more advanced than classical historians believed.
