Some examples of ancient technology that still can't be explained. How did they shoot Greek Fire hundreds of meters? How is the Antikythera mechanism accurate even with a geocentric understanding? Other examples like Roman Concrete, Baghdad battery, Lycurgus cup, and Damascus steel!

Nothing beats the great pyramids. 2,300,000 stones at 70 tones per stone. Moved from a quarry 50 miles+ away over mountains.

Do we in our modern times have anything that can move a solid block that big? Let alone do it 2 million times plus?
