Sinopse

Lost Ancient Technologies challenges our modern assumptions about technological progress by exploring remarkable engineering achievements from ancient civilizations, with a particular focus on Roman concrete and the Baghdad Battery. Through meticulous archaeological evidence and scientific analysis, the book reveals how ancient societies developed sophisticated solutions that sometimes rival or surpass contemporary capabilities.

 
The narrative delves deep into two fascinating examples: the extraordinary durability of Roman concrete, which actually strengthens over time thanks to a precise mixture of volcanic ash and seawater, and the ingenious galvanic cells created in Mesopotamia that could generate electrical current. Using modern analytical techniques, including electron microscopy and spectroscopic analysis, the book demonstrates how these ancient engineers achieved such remarkable results through careful observation and experimentation.

 
Moving from historical context to detailed case studies and finally to modern implications, the book bridges multiple disciplines including materials science, archaeology, and chemistry. Written in an accessible yet technically precise style, it offers valuable insights for both academic researchers and engineering enthusiasts.

 
The work's practical applications extend to contemporary challenges in sustainable construction and materials development, making it particularly relevant for modern engineers seeking to learn from the past's remarkable achievements.

    Many ancient civilizations have influenced and inspired people in the 21st century, and the Greeks and Romans continue to fascinate the West today, but of all the world’s civilizations, none have intrigued people more than the Mayans, whose culture, astronomy, language, and mysterious disappearance all continue to captivate people. In the past decade especially, there has been a renewed focus on the Mayans, whose advanced calendar led many to speculate the world would end on the same date the Mayan calendar ended in 2012.  
    	For the Maya, astronomy was not a purely scientific pursuit but intimately linked to religious, mythological, and ideological elements that were of the highest importance. The celestial realm held a sacred nature, as did the many gods and goddesses that dwelt there, so for all Mesoamerican cultures, astronomy was a fundamental part of their everyday lives. Thus, astronomy was present in their calendars, religion, and even agriculture, and in close relation to astronomy, the concept of time was also an essential part of their worldview. The Maya recorded time on almost every surface they could, including lintels, cornices, panels, stelae, friezes, ceramics, and paper. This insistence on capturing dates has led many scholars to suggest the Maya were obsessed with time. 
    The Maya had some of the most advanced astronomical measurements in the world, and their work built upon thousands of years, spanning from around 2500 BCE until the the arrival of the Spanish in 1519. Thanks to their hieroglyphic writing, archaeologists have been able to learn a wealth of information about the way they lived and their complex system of beliefs.

    First there was the genetic revolution—the discovery that physical structures in the cell, including DNA and RNA, shape every organism. Now, says evolutionary biologist Richard Sternberg, we are overdue for another and more profound revolution. 
    Recent findings reveal that genetic and even epigenetic sources alone cannot account for the rich dynamism of life—not even close. Some other informational source is required. 
    The idea was anticipated 2,400 years ago in Plato’s Timaeus and periodically revisited in the ensuing centuries. Sidelined by scientific materialism, it is now reasserting itself on the strength of cutting-edge molecular biology, higher mathematics, and commonsense reasoning. 
    In Plato’s Revenge, science writer David Klinghoffer takes Sternberg’s profound explorations and weaves them into a lively and accessible account of a most remarkable realization: At every moment, we owe our lives to a genome that is more than matter and to an informational source that is immaterial, transcomputational, and beyond space and time.
