Now I Understand Podcast: Myths About Roman Concrete and Mesopotamian Batteries
Miscellaneous / / January 24, 2022
It seems that the tales of antiquity exist almost more than the artifacts that have survived to this day.
The Romans built incredibly impressive structures: amphitheaters, aqueducts, palaces and other masterpieces of architecture. According to one theory, they were able to do all this thanks to a special concrete that made the walls super strong. The secret of this mixture has been lost, so now nothing close to the Colosseum can be built. That's just a myth. Like the fact that batteries were invented back in Mesopotamia. Mikhail Volnykh and Daria Bakina tell more about all this in the next episode "Now it's clear."
