I’m always amazed by stuff like this that ancient peoples were able to work out on their own. Like how would they even figure any of this stuff out on their own? Obviously it had to be Aliens. /s

Herodotus made an estimate of the rate of growth of the Nile delta, and used those estimates to challenge some conventional thinking about history and to make some predictions about the future. The ancients had a wealth of knowledge and competency. Probably much of it is lost.

Humans have always been highly intelligent, they were just limited by the tools of their times. And yes much of their knowledge and innovation wasn’t preserved to be built off of.

Probably, almost 100% definitely aliens, yes, I have to concur.

interesting

architecture like this would be better for the environment than industrial air conditioning

Lazz45 ,

This is not air conditioning. Not to be the “actually” stereotype, but air condioners literally “condition” the air by removing humidity (it was actually designed for this purpose, a side effect of removing the humidity was lowering the air temperature). This is simply good ducting and natural exchange.

Good for the environment, yes! Air conditioning? No

Iamdanno ,

These condition the air by adding humidity, so you are actually wrong.

Lazz45 ,

You’re completely correct, I live in an area where you’d never be trying to add humidity lol. I was also thinking in the context of why it was originally invented, which was wrong to do. I removed my comment

Seeing a lot of contrarians in this thread who just don’t like that the Middle East had literally cool tech before America… pardon, before the people who stole America from the Americas, had literally cool tech.

Probs they are gonna call this thing “weapon of mass destruction” as a pretense for the next Yearly Oil Extraction invasion, conveniently ignoring that from an environmental perspective “”“modern”“” AC is over twelve hundred times the WMD Iranian Air Conditioners ever were.

Fedizen ,

wait isnt a similar system in the great pyramid?

dudinax ,

Hadn’t been invented yet.

Chee_Koala ,

Can’t really think of a way a tomb needs AC, but i’m eager to be proven wrong :-)
