25 forgotten engineering systems that once powered ancient civilizations, from Rome to the Maya.

Ancient history is filled with engineering marvels we’ve barely begun to understand. These weren't just simple tools; they were complex, city-sustaining systems powered by water, wind, and human ingenuity. We'll explore the Persian Qanat tunnels that brought life to the desert, the massive hydraulic mining operations of the Romans, and the sophisticated aqueducts of the Nazca. Discover how the Minoans had running water and flush toilets 4,000 years ago, and how the Khmer Empire built the largest pre-industrial hydraulic system to support a metropolis of nearly a million people. These forgotten technologies challenge everything we thought we knew about the past and offer stunning lessons for our future.

Which of these ancient engineering systems do you find the most impressive? Let us know in the comments!
