Ancient advanced technology, science, and medicine are a fascinating subject that has yet to be fully replicated in modern times. This book delves into countless examples of ancient high-tech, including robotics, artificial intelligence, aircraft, solar-powered cannons, high-speed drills, illuminated underground temples, massive refrigerators, and subterranean cities.

The evidence of advanced medicine in ancient times is also examined, with examples from ancient Egypt, China, Greece, Babylon, Siberia, the Americas, and India. These inventions are only two examples of technology lost in the Dark Ages.

Exploring the sophisticated tech achieved by ancient civilizations hundreds and thousands of years ago, Frank Joseph examines evidence of robotics and other forms of artificial intelligence; manned flight, such as hot-air balloons and gliders; and military science, including flamethrowers, biological warfare, poison gas, and solar-powered cannons. He reveals how ancient construction engineers excavated subterranean cities, turned stone walls into glass, lifted 100-ton blocks of granite, illuminated underground temples and pyramids, and stored their food in massive refrigerators.

Examples explored in the book include the first known alarm clock, invented by Plato in 4th-century-BC Greece; 600-year-old Aztec whistles that reproduce animal sounds and human voices with uncanny accuracy; Stone Age jewelry from Siberia worked by a high-speed drill; sex robots in ancient Troy, Greece.

This book is a must-read for anyone interested in ancient history, technology, and medicine. It provides a detailed look into the sophisticated tech achieved by ancient civilizations and sheds light on the lost or forgotten technologies of the Dark Ages.
