5 Ancient Inventions Science Can't Explain
For the most part, technology has continued improving in a linear fashion for thousands
of years.
However, ancient cultures have left many relics and structures that seem a little too advanced
for their respective eras.
Even to this day, some of the greatest ancient creations cannot be explained by scientists.
Hi.
I am Mister Mysterious and today I'll be telling you about five of the most mysterious
ancient inventions that are still unexplained.
We will be taking a look at astonishing artifacts that mirror the splendor of ancient minds.
Be prepared to rethink about how you imagine our ancestors as well as ancient civilizations.
FIVE: Ancient Flexible Glass
The history of glassmaking can be traced back to 3,500 BCE in Mesopotamia.
Ever since that time, we know glass as a very fragile substance.
However, there is a story connected to ancient Romans that talks about a type of glass that
isn't only unbreakable but has the power to absorb damage.
This invention is tied to the Roman Emperor Tiberius Caesar as well as to an unknown craftsman
who brought a drinking bowl made of flexible glass to the Emperor.
However, Tiberius wasn't impressed with the bowl and tried to break it by throwing
it to the ground.
However, instead of shattering, the mysterious material dented.
The craftsman then repaired the bowl with a small hammer.
After the inventor swore that he alone knew the technique of manufacture, Tiberius Caesar
had the man beheaded, fearing that such material could undermine the value of gold and silver.
Some believe that this is just an ancient urban legend because the story sounds too
good to be true.
However, Roman glassmaking was so advanced that some of its achievements couldn't be
replicated until the 18th century.
Some of the best-known innovations from around that period include colorless glass, window
panes, and glass mosaics.
FOUR: The Antikythera Mechanism
More than a hundred years ago, an extraordinary mechanism was found by divers at the bottom
of the sea near the Greek island of Antikythera.
This mechanism was found in a wooden box and it was composed of at least 30 meshing bronze
wheels.
The wheels used to run a system that displayed the date, positions of the sun and moon, lunar
phases, a 19-year calendar and a 223-month eclipse prediction dial.
In other words, this was an analog computer of great complexity.
No other machine of known existence shows a similarity in advanced engineering for at
least another 1,000 years.
Experts have been working to decipher inscriptions hidden inside the mechanism.
It was discovered that there was a pointer on the front that carried colored balls: fiery
red for Mars, gold for the Sun.
The only thing we know about this device is that the ancient Greeks used complex arrangements
of precisely cut wheels to keep track of their surroundings.
They came to believe that nature worked according to predefined rules, like a machine – which
is an approach that forms the basis of our modern scientific views.
THREE: Baghdad's Batteries
War can destroy more than a nation, an army or a leader.
Culture, tradition, and history also lie in the firing line and often suffer during war
times.
Iraq is one of the countries with a rich national heritage that was often plagued by wars.
The Garden of Eden and the Tower of Babel are said to have been located in this ancient
land.
However, there is one ancient artifact that goes against everything we think we know about
our history.
It was in 1938, while working in Khujut Rabu, near Baghdad, that German archeologist Wilhelm
Koning unearthed a five-inch-long clay jar containing a copper cylinder that encased
an iron rod.
The object showed signs of corrosion, and early tests revealed that an acidic agent
had been present.
For Koning, this was an ancient battery.
More than 70 years after their discovery, the batteries of Baghdad – as there are
perhaps a dozen of them – are still shrouded in mystery.
Some have suggested the batteries may have been used medicinally.
Other scientists believe the batteries were used for electroplating – transferring a
thin layer of metal onto another metal surface.
This idea is perhaps the most interesting since at its core lies the mother of many
inventions: money.
Perhaps this invention was used in the making of jewelry, where a layer of gold or silver
is often applied to enhance its beauty in a process called gilding.
Either way, it seems like we'll never know the truth behind this intriguing innovation.
TWO: Zhang Heng's Seismoscope
Throughout the ancient times, the Chinese were concerned with the destructive force
of earthquakes.
They weren't aware of tectonic plates and they believed that earthquakes were disturbances
with cosmic yin and yang.
However, one inventor had his own ideas about this destructive force of nature.
One of the first and one of the most efficient earthquake-detection instruments was invented
almost 1900 years ago in ancient China.
The device was invented by the Eastern Han philosopher and court official Zhang Heng.
The seismoscope was about six-feet-tall and resembled a large bronze urn with eight tubes
shaped as dragons' heads.
Surrounding the device were four bronze toads positioned in four directions.
Thanks to its internal pendulum and bronze balls, the device's internal mechanism would
swing in the event of an earthquake.
This would raise one of the dragons' heads and push the bronze balls out of the dragon's
mouth into the mouth of a bronze toad.
This would create a very loud sound, which served as a warning alarm.
Today, we know very little about how Zhang Heng managed to materialize his biggest invention.
We only know that the device was very advanced for the time of its creation as well as that
it gives accurate results and warnings almost two millennia later.
ONE: The Iron Pillar of Delhi
In the Qutb complex of Delhi stands one of the most curious metal objects in the world
– the so-called Iron Pillar of Delhi.
This object does not seem to rust, despite being over a thousand years old.
The height of the pillar is about 23 feet.
The base rests on a grid of iron bars soldered into the upper layer of the dressed stone
pavement.
It is estimated to weigh more than six tons.
While several inscriptions are found on the pillar, the oldest one is a six-line stanza
Sanskrit inscription.
The name Chandra is mentioned in the third verse, forcing scholars to believe that the
pillar was made during the reign of Chandragupta II.
One of the most interesting qualities of this pillar is its resistance to corrosion.
One of the theories suggests that there is a co-relation between the processing, structure,
and properties of the pillar's iron.
In other words, this pillar is a living testimony to the skill of metallurgists of ancient India.
Even today, we can't produce the same kind of iron, even though we have multiple ways
to protect metal objects from corrosion.
What do you think about these mysterious ancient inventions?
Do we really know our civilization's history as we claim we do?

Why Successful People Don't Have Multiple Streams of Active Income — T. Harv Eker - Duration: 4:30.
I went through 12 different businesses..
What I didn't mention was that I
actually had four businesses at one time.
I had a line of novelty t-shirts that
was actually going pretty well and
then a friend of mine he showed me
these very unusual hats. They actually had
stuffed animals on them and they were
very very cool. They were fun and he said,
"Hey Harv you know you're already going
out there. You're already visiting all
these shops. Why not carry this line of
hats and and show them this line too.
You can then pass by some schools and
the university's you know and clubs
and you're gonna double your income!" You
know what I said? Sounds good! And what did I do? I
got into the hats business as well.
Short while later, I discovered this
really really cool line of jewelry. I
said to myself, "Hey I'm already out there
on the road. Maybe I can stop in to some
jewelry stores and sell them this line
and I could earn even more money." A
few weeks after that another friend
shows up and and he shows me he's doing.
He have these coupon books, coupon books.
And these coupon books gave people
discounts on all sorts of things. You've
probably seen them. You can actually save
thousands and thousands of dollars if
you use them and they only cost
thirty bucks. So what do you think I said?!
You know what, I'm already on the road
and I'm meeting all these people. I'll
just show them the coupon books and now
I'll REALLY be making a fortune! And
besides, you know what's going on in my
mind? I also thought in the back of my
mind. That if I had more than one
business, it would be safer. It would take
the risk out of it. You know and it would
assure me of some kind of success
because I always had a backup in case
something else didn't work. So what was
the result of all this? Well I went from
doing pretty decent to completely broke
again!! I couldn't understand it. How could
more be less? And that's because, at the
time, I didn't understand something
called energy. Bottom line. It takes an
enormous amount of energy to get
something going especially at the
beginning. Let me give you an example.
Imagine a rocket launching.
okay? And imagine all the power that
it takes to get this thing off the
ground. Obviously all the thrusters have
to be facing in the same direction the
same direction. Especially at the
beginning, for the rocket to escape
earth's gravity. Yes or yes? Now imagine
for just a moment, one of the thrusters
let's say it's got three thrusters
facing down boom. Right? One of the
thrusters was facing outward
instead of directly down? Those facing
outward. Let me ask a question. What would
happen? Simple, that rocket would go BOOM!
Crash and burn. Why? Because it takes
massive energy! A thousand! A thousand
percent focus in one, ONE direction for
the rocket to launch successfully! You know
what? Same in your business! It takes
everything you've got! Every resource.
Every ounce of energy at your disposal,
to launch successfully. And what did broke
Harv do? I dissipated my energies. I
scattered my resources. I did not focus
and I crashed. "But Harv, if you notice,
most rich people including yourself have
all kinds of things going on. They got
several businesses. They got real estate
holdings. Stocks! They're diversified. Okay
I get it. Let me say this loud and clear.
Please. Yes it's true. Rich people well
they're usually diversified.. ONCE they
are rich! But you do not. I repeat do NOT
get rich by being diversified. You get
rich by being focused! Laser focused.

Will Republican infighting derail Trump's agenda? - Duration: 2:59.
Welcome citizens, to the biggest fight of 2017.
On the right -- Coming all the way from Capitol Hill we have the anti-establishment, populist
House Freedom Caucus.
And also on the right, coming from Pennsylvania Avenue, we have the anti-establishment, populist
President.
Are you ready for the battle of the session!?
It's red versus red, right versus right, rabble-rouser versus rabble-rouser
Let's get ready to….Hold up ... aren't these guys on the same team?
We're going to be here to work lockstep with president-elect Trump.
Trump and the HFC used to be as cozy as two conservatives at a Toby Keith concert.
It's no surprise on election day that Trump won every single district represented by a
House Freedom Caucus member.
Though in almost every case by a smaller margin of victory.
You'd think these two peas in a populist pod would have been a match made in heterodoxical
heaven But when Trump proposed a new health care
replacement, there was trouble in paradise.
Despite meeting with the Freedom Caucus multiple times in the days leading up to the vote,
Trump couldn't secure their support.
That meant his first major legislation as president, something he promise again and
again to achieve, was dead on arrival thanks to his own base in his own party.
Trump responded, well, pretty much how you'd expect him to.
The Freedom Caucus and the Democrats make up a majority in Congress, so if the president
is fighting both at the same time, he won't have the muscle to win upcoming legislative
battles in Congress.
Battles like the looming federal spending bill.
If Trump can't appease either the far-right or the left, there will be a
the first in 37 years when Congress was controlled by the party of the President.
The same goes for tax reform and infrastructure spending; two issues Trump has promised to
"win bigly."
Trump's trillion infrastructure proposal is a tough pill for hard line conservatives
to swallow.
We can't keep borrowing, we can't keep spending.
His insistence that tax reform include a cut for wealthy Americans will eliminate all democrats
from the negotiating table.
They don't need another tax break.
These legislative brawls won't be easy.
Especially when it looks like the honeymoon could be coming to an end for Trump and the
House Freedom Caucus.

Ron Paul Rages At Trump Assange Is A Hero Don't Declare War On - politics - Duration: 3:48.
Ron Paul Rages At Trump: "Assange Is A Hero...
Don't Declare War On The Truth"
�I love Wikileaks,� candidate Donald Trump said on October 10th on the campaign trail.
He praised the organization for reporting on the darker side of the Hillary Clinton
campaign.
It was information likely leaked by a whistleblower from within the Clinton campaign to Wikileaks.
Back then he praised Wikileaks for promoting transparency, but candidate Trump looks less
like President Trump every day.
The candidate praised whistleblowers and Wikileaks often on the campaign trail.
In fact, candidate Trump loved Wikileaks so much he mentioned the organization more than
140 times in the final month of the campaign alone!
Now, as President, it seems Trump wants Wikileaks founder Julian Assange sent to prison.
Last week CNN reported, citing anonymous �intelligence community� sources, that the Trump Administration�s
Justice Department was seeking the arrest of Assange and had found a way to charge the
Wikileaks founder for publishing classified information without charging other media outlets
such as the New York Times and Washington Post for publishing the same information.
It might have been tempting to write off the CNN report as �fake news,� as is much
of their reporting, but for the fact President Trump said in an interview on Friday that
issuing an arrest warrant for Julian Assange would be, �OK with me.�
Trump�s condemnation of Wikileaks came just a day after his CIA Director, Michael Pompeo,
attacked Wikileaks as a �hostile intelligence service.� Pompeo accused Assange of being
�a fraud � a coward hiding behind a screen.�
Pompeo�s word choice was no accident.
By accusing Wikileaks of being a �hostile intelligence service� rather than a publisher
of information on illegal and abusive government practices leaked by whistleblowers, he signaled
that the organization has no First Amendment rights.
Like many in Washington, he does not understand that the First Amendment is a limitation on
government rather than a granting of rights to citizens.
Pompeo was declaring war on Wikileaks.
But not that long ago Pompeo also cited Wikileaks as an important source of information.
In July he drew attention to the Wikileaks release of information damaging to the Clinton
campaign, writing, �Need further proof that the fix was in from President Obama on down?�
There is a word for this sudden about-face on Wikileaks and the transparency it provides
us into the operations of the prominent and powerful: hypocrisy.
The Trump Administration�s declaration of war on whistleblowers and Wikileaks is one
of the greatest disappointments in these first 100 days.
Donald Trump rode into the White House with promises that he would �drain the swamp,�
meaning that he would overturn the apple carts of Washington�s vested interests.
By unleashing those same vested interests on those who hold them in check � the whistleblowers
and those who publish their revelations � he has turned his back on those who elected him.
Julian Assange, along with the whistleblowers who reveal to us the evil that is being done
in our name, are heroes.
They deserve our respect and admiration, not a prison cell.
If we allow this president to declare war on those who tell the truth, we have only
ourselves to blame.

"I don't understand the accents of native English speakers..." - Duration: 6:50.
hi there I'm Drew Badger the world's
first and number one English Fluency
Guide and in this video I'm going to
answer a question i received from two
different people these are Jason and
Mohammed so thanks for the question and
this is how can I understand or learn to
understand different accents so
different accents from different
speakers not only in America are there
different accents depending on where you
live like the north or the south or the
East or the west or the Midwest there
are lots of different ways that people
speak even if they're using the same
words but not only that between
different countries as well I don't
sound like a British speaker I suppose I
could I could try to speak like a
British I can't I can't actually speak
british english i could probably like if
somebody practice with me there's some
british teachers out there you want to
do like a video where we could we could
practice you could try to speak and like
an American yeah I'm again i'm not doing
it i'm not doing it very well but anyway
there are different accents for
different places and it's really like
it's a pain in the ass to learn with one
thing you're a learner and you're like
okay I'm trying to learn the American
accent but wow there are many American
accents and okay I also have to
understand maybe some British speakers
or Australians or you know people from
South Africa or wherever and even beyond
that all the non-native speakers because
there are now more non-native speakers
than native speakers of the English
language and they're also difficult to
understand so really it can be quite
confusing so here's how you do it here's
how you solve this problem now all you
really need to do is take the same
information and then you need to have it
listen to or you need to listen to it
spoken or said by different people it's
actually a really simple process and
it's more about finding good information
and so this is what you can do actually
right here on YouTube when you're
practicing one of the basic things that
I always teach people is to listen to
music covers of different songs so maybe
you have the Beatles would have a very
popular song like whatever I just like
like sergeant pepper or whatever they're
just different songs that the beatles
have that are covered by a lot of
different other musicians like maybe
individual singers or whole band but to
cover something just me
that you take some music that is not
yours and maybe you arrange it slightly
say it in a different way but what
you're doing here is you get maybe like
John Lennon or Paul McCartney these are
you know singers from the Beatles that
are saying something but then you can
have an American that's also singing
that that same album or that same song
or whatever I think like the whole the
soundtrack to the movie I and Sam it's
like nothing but covers of the Beatles
so if you listen to the actual Beatles
song but then listen to some other
artists saying the same thing it expands
your range for being able to understand
different speakers so maybe like again a
British person is saying it we're
singing something in the case of the
song or you get maybe a American or an
Australian anybody like that so if i'm
thinking like even you know children's
music you can get different versions of
this in like just go on youtube and look
up like children's children's songs and
you'll hear the different versions of
that depending on if it's like british
whatever like look up look up even like
like five little monkeys jumping on the
bed so i do like a song like this for my
daughter maybe she'll watch some videos
on youtube that are singing a song but
there are many different versions of
that so people will sing you know
whatever different versions of that and
she can hear the different intonation
the different accents all these things
just by listening to the same thing in
different ways and this is exactly why
we do this in master English
conversation in the fluency course when
people can listen to the one the one
sting like the one story or maybe like a
couple of phrases and then hear a bunch
of different people from different
different parts of the world saying
those things because you're getting
listening practice and when you're
practicing with those people see you
practice shadowing with them which means
you're speaking at the exact same time
or you're just repeating with those
people but this is what again kind of
stretches your accent so I can listen to
British speakers and I can I can try to
say like a like a cockney accent or like
a British accent you know what I'm
trying to sound like posh or whatever
and I again I like I sound really bad
even when i was living in England for a
couple of a couple of months I couldn't
speak very well but any
it was like fun to try to copy what
people were saying and have them try to
do an American accent anyway if you're
listening to people doing these things
it's really easy so music covers is one
way to do it another is looking for
maybe quotes by like famous quotes oh
you look right up on YouTube for famous
quotes by somebody or a famous speech or
a famous play or a famous yet again
anything that would be spoken by a
number of people so it could be a famous
story of famous song anything like that
but again you're looking for different
versions of that thing spoken by
different people and also if you can
people from different countries so
America Britain Canada Australia any any
english-speaking country or anybody
really around the world that's saying
that particular thing so this is how you
do it this is how you develop the habit
of doing it you don't just listen to one
person like don't just listen to me say
something you got to get lots of
different people just the same way a
native speaker does and over time not
only listening but you try to repeat
what they say so it's not just listening
you have to say it back you have to
repeat it along with people or shadow
again you're saying it at the same time
people do but that's what helps you get
really excited and really able to
understand all these different things so
it's a really simple thing same content
different people you know different
however many different people you can
get but the more you can get the better
well I hope I have answered that for
both Jason and Mohamed and for anyone
else that's you know trying to figure
out how to understand native speakers
with different accents but anyway
hopefully that solves it for you and you
get out and you practice remember it's
not about just listening to people it's
about developing the habit of a native
English speaker so learn like a native
English speaker if you want to sound
like a native English speaker and be
able to listen like one well that's it

What do American politicians not do?
Listen.
What is HUD Secretary Ben Carson doing?
Listening.
Not only is he just listening, he's been going on a tour around America with the sole
objective of listening.
The media probably hasn't told you that.
Newmax reports: Columbus is the fourth stop on Housing and
Urban Development Secretary Ben Carson's national listening tour.
President Donald Trump's housing secretary has been traveling the country gathering input
from agency field staff, local leaders and residents of public housing developments.
His three-day visit to Ohio begins Wednesday.
During the first two days, he'll tour urban housing developments in Columbus.
On Friday, he plans tours of more rural developments in Lancaster and Chillicothe (chihl-ih-KAHTH'-ee).
He also plans to address the Ohio Housing Council on Wednesday and the Starting At Home
conference Thursday.
Carson has previously visited Detroit, Dallas/Fort Worth and Miami as he seeks to hone the priority
list for the federal agency he oversees.
What do You think About this?
Please share this news if you stand with Secretary Ben Carson!

President Trump Can't Leave the Block Party - Duration: 3:28.
LET'S TALK ABOUT WHAT IS GOING ON IN THE WORLD AT THE MOMENT.
AN ARTICLE IN THE ASSOCIATED PRESS HAS REVEALED THAT
PRESIDENT TRUMP HAS A SINGLE RED BUTTON ON HIS OVAL OFFICE DESK
THAT HE CAN PUSH AT ANY TIME AND HAVE A BUTLER BRING HIM A COKE.
(LAUGHTER) AND I THINK I SPEAK FOR EVERYONE
WHEN I SAY OH, THAT'S WHAT THE RED BUTTON ON HIS DESK IS FOR.
WHOOO, THANK GOD!
THANK GOD.
(APPLAUSE) BUT IT'S NOT JUST COKE, TRUMP
ALSO HAS A BUTTON THAT HE PRESSES WHENEVER THERE IS A
PROTEST, AND IT MAKES KEN DAL JENNER-- KENDALL JENNER COME OUT
AND GIVE EVERYONE A PEPSI.
WHAT COULD GO WRONG.
IN OTHER TRUMP NEWS, ANOTHER ONE OF DONALD TRUMP'S EXECUTIVE
ORDERS HAS BEEN STOPPED BY A FEDERAL JUDGE.
A JUDGE IN SAN FRANCISCO BLOCKED TRUMP'S ORDER TO DENY FUNDING TO
SANCTUARY CITIES.
NOW IF YOU DON'T KNOW WHAT THEY R SANCTUARY CITIES ARE SAFE
PLACES FOR UNDOCUMENTED IMMIGRANTS.
THEY INCLUDE SAN FRANCISCO, LOS ANGELES, AND THE EMPLOYEE BREAK
ROOM AT MAR-A-LAGO.
(LAUGHTER) (APPLAUSE)
THAT'S THREE EXECUTIVE ORDERS THAT HAVE BEEN BLOCKED IN
TRUMP'S FIRST 100 DAYS.
THAT'S A LOT OF BLOCKS.
I MEAN THEY SHOULD CALL TRUMP JENNY.
AS IN JENNY FROM THE BLOCK.
I MEAN I SEE-- HANG ON.
I HAVE SEEN JAMES' TETRIS WITH FEWER BLOCKS.
EVEN A MAP OF MANHATTAN WAS LIKE JEEZ, I CAN'T IMAGINE THAT MANY
BLOCK ITS 6789 I KNOW TWITTER TROLLS WITH FEWER WHROG BLOCKS.
THE REPUBLICAN PARTY SHOULD BE CALLED THE BLOCK PARTY.
EVEN THE GUY STANDING IN FRONT OF THIS FULL SIZED LEGO X-WING
IS THINKING MAN, I NEVER SEEN SO MANY BLOCKS.
(CHEERS AND APPLAUSE) THERE'S, IT'S LIKE ANOTHER
THOUSAND OF THOSE.
YESTERDAY SENATOR TED CRUZ INTRODUCED A BILL TO CONGRESS

ACT BECAUSE WHAT BETTER WAY TO BUILD A WALL THAN WITH MONEY
FROM A GUY WHOSE FAMOUS FOR TUNNELING UNDER WALLS.
(APPLAUSE) >> ITS HE'S CRAZY.
AND FINALLY TONIGHT, IVANKA TRUMP IS BEING CRITICIZED AFTER
IT CAME OUT THE WORKERS AT A CHINESE FACTORY WHO MAKE HER
FASHION LINE EARN ROUGHLY ONE DOLLAR AN HOUR.
