Archaeologists believe that computers and washing machines date back to antiquity. Moreover, ancient people had analogues of NASA and selfies.
For example, experts have calculated that a mechanized washing machine existed as early as the first century BC in ancient Antioch. It consisted of a large water wheel and a hammer, which rose under the pressure of the water, and then lowered, squeezing out the fabric.
It is assumed that this mechanism was intended for an industrial level, as it required almost 30 thousand cubic meters of water per second.
As for the first computer, it was invented by the ancient Greeks also in the first century BC. It looked like a wooden box, in which a system of 30 bronze gears simulated on the case the cycles of the Sun, Moon, the positions of Mars, Venus, the rising and setting of certain stars, and also determined leap years.
The first bakery was the invention of the ancient Roman Marcus Virgil, who was so proud of his work that he built his own grave and showed it all the stages of baking bread.
The first astronomical observatory was built in Baghdad in the ninth century. At the time, it contained a sundial, astrolabes and quadrants.
