Ancient Technologies in Nineveh and Crete
The video explores the remnants of advanced ancient technologies, specifically in glass-blowing and lens-making, identified within the archaeological sites of Nineveh and Crete. Lenses found in Crete dating back to 1800 BCE suggest a sophisticated knowledge of optics. A report from 1930 in the British Journal of Physiological Optics discussed lenses made of rock crystal and materials such as ivory, steatite, and onyx. These lenses, shaped to magnify up to 8 diopters, have been found across ancient sites from Crete to Troy, Nineveh, and the United Kingdom.
Discovery of the Nimrod Lens
The Nimrod Lens, a convex rock crystal artifact found in Nineveh, was presented by Sir David Brewster in the 19th century. Brewster suggested it was once filled with gases or liquids to enhance magnification. The lens, held at the British Museum, is thought by some researchers to have been used by the Assyrians in astronomy. However, the museum proposes alternative uses, such as for decoration or fire-starting.
Crystal Weapons Unearthed in Spain
At Valencina de la Concepción in Spain, archaeologists uncovered crystal artifacts, including arrowheads and a dagger blade, within a large megalithic tomb. The artifacts, buried with 25 individuals, indicate a high level of craftsmanship. The rock crystal used remains of unknown origin. These findings challenge existing academic narratives about prehistoric technologies, as similar artifacts in the region were typically made from flint, not crystal.
Nimrod Fortress and Megalithic Construction
Nimrod Fortress, also called the “Castle of the Large Cliff,” is located on Mount Hermon in the Golan Heights. Though attributed to the medieval Ayyubid dynasty, its construction includes massive megalithic blocks, some weighing over 40 tons. The video questions the traditional dating of the fortress, suggesting it might be a much older structure built by an advanced, now-lost civilization. Similar construction methods are seen at other ancient sites, like Sacsayhuamán in Peru.
Polygonal Masonry in Italy
The video discusses Italy’s polygonal masonry, which is found throughout ancient sites, including walls surrounding towns and villages in areas such as Alatri and Arpino. These massive stone structures, resembling jigsaw puzzles, remain unexplained by modern archaeology. Researchers like Jeppi Ley have documented these features, suggesting they belong to a technologically advanced ancient civilization that has been largely forgotten.
The Seismoscope of Zhang Heng
Zhang Heng, a Chinese inventor, created the first known seismoscope in 132 CE. This bronze device could detect earthquakes by dropping a small bronze ball in the direction of the seismic activity. In 2005, a replica of the seismoscope successfully detected earthquakes, corroborating its ancient efficacy.
Conclusion
The video argues for the existence of an advanced prehistoric civilization, now lost to history. Artifacts like the Nimrod Lens, the crystal weapons in Spain, and Italy’s polygonal masonry serve as evidence for this theory. The narrator concludes by suggesting that these relics offer insight into a civilization more technologically sophisticated than conventionally acknowledged.
