There is evidence that speaks of ancient technologies that were either only recently discovered, or have no analogues at all. Each of these findings, such as the legendary crystal skull, makes you take a different look at the history of mankind. This article will discuss the achievements of ancient chemistry.
At the end of the 17th century, Catholic monks traveled to China and talked about an amazing aquarium. This aquarium consisted of a glass vessel and a special transparent liquid. At the same time, the fish was not required for him, because when the liquid was poured into the vessel, it seemed filled with fish. When the liquid was poured out, the aquarium was empty. The Chinese filled this aquarium several times so that the monks could repeatedly verify the authenticity of the unusual phenomenon. This ancient technology - a miracle of chemistry - has remained a mystery.
Missionary Abbot Haq cites evidence of no less mysterious ancient technology in a book about his wanderings, Travel to Tibet. It contains a story about an unusual painting in one of the monasteries in Tibet. This picture was painted on a simple canvas, and consisted only of this canvas and a frame, of which the abbot himself was personally convinced. She depicted a landscape with a moon that perfectly mimicked the behavior of the real moon in the sky. She reflected a new moon, a full moon, or a young moon, depending on her true state. Abat wrote: "You see in the picture this planet in the form of a crescent, sickle or full moon, shining brightly, hiding in a cloud and again peeking out of it exactly like its heavenly sister …" It can be assumed that the Tibetans knew special plant substances that react to change the lunar phases, and knew how to make paints out of them. But how did the drawn moon learn about the clouds in the sky covering its prototype, and even react to it? …
During the reign of Pope Paul III (1534-1549), the tomb of the daughter of the Roman statesman Cicero, who lived in the first century BC, was discovered on the Appian Way in Rome. The girl's body floated in some kind of transparent liquid and thanks to this it was so well preserved that the deceased seemed asleep, although more than fifteen centuries had passed since the day of her death. At the same time, one fact is striking: there was a burning lamp at her feet. And only at that moment, when the tomb was opened, it went out. This lamp belonged to the "inextinguishable lamps" that are mentioned in the works of many historians and writers of antiquity. Augustine (354-430) described such a lamp burning in the temple of Venus. According to his description, neither wind nor rain could extinguish it. The writer Pausanius (II century) saw the same in the temple of Minerva in Athens, and the historian Plutarch (46-120.) - in the Egyptian temple of Jupiter Ammon. The latter also claimed that the elements were not able to extinguish it. The Roman scientist Pliny the Elder (23-79) reports that the wick of such a lamp was made of asbestos (translated from Greek as "unquenchable"). It was argued that if you manage to light it, then it can no longer be extinguished. In the device of such a lamp, gold was used, which, according to legend, greatly increased the efficiency of combustion, preventing the evaporation of a combustible substance. And the most important thing in such a lamp is a specially purified oil, which has undergone multiple distillation and filtration with special substances. Similar lamps were used in temples and tombs of ancient Egypt. When the tombs were opened, they were mysteriously extinguished. These ancient technologies remain a mystery.that the elements were unable to extinguish it.

During the reign of the emperor Tiberius of Rome (42 BC - 37 AD), a stranger brought a glass bowl to his palace and declared that it would not break. Tiberius threw it onto the marble floor and, to everyone's surprise, not a single piece of glass really broke off. There was only a small dent, which was immediately straightened with a hammer. The emperor was told that there is a special method of processing ordinary glass, with which it can be made not only malleable, but also viscous like resin, which allows it to be drawn into a thin long thread. But the secret of this ancient technology also remained a mystery.

In China, there is the tomb of the commander Zhou-Zhu, (III century). The relief decorations on it, according to the results of spectral analysis, contain 85% aluminum. On the territory of Poland, near the city of Kielce, a well-preserved sword was found, the handle of which was decorated with inlaid alloy of 10% copper, 5% magnesium and the same 85% aluminum. This sword was made, according to experts, in 400 BC. What is unusual here is the fact that magnesium and aluminum are considered new metals in science. Magnesium was "first" discovered in 1808 by the English scientist Humphrey Davy, and aluminum as something new was presented at the World Exhibition in Paris in 1855. "Silver from clay", as it was then called, could only be obtained with the invention of electricity and electrolysis. No other method of extracting aluminum from natural material has yet been invented. Hence,had electricity already two and a half thousand years ago? This version does not seem surprising after an amazing find in Iraq. During the excavations of the ancient city of Seleucia, archaeologists found clay vessels in which copper cylinders with iron cores are embedded, soldered with the same alloy of lead and tin that is used in modern electrical engineering. To test their assumptions, the same new experimental models were made on the model of these ancient vessels, and when an electrolyte (copper sulfate) was poured into them, they gave an electric current with a voltage of 6 volts. By connecting many such vessels in series in a battery, it was possible to obtain a current of any voltage. These devices are two thousand years old. And this is only a small part of the secrets of ancient technologies that have been revealed to us.
Thus, even a superficial acquaintance with those artifacts that have survived to our time speaks of high technologies that were later lost.
