  4. Barabar Caves = Ancient Audio Amplifier 🔊 ?

    Inside the Barabar caves, something very strange is happening. At a particular point, sound gets amplified. A simple stomp on the floor, sounds like a thunderbolt. Is this a coincidence? What about light? Have you ever seen light behave this way? Was Barabar built using advanced ancient technology?

  18. #AncientEgyptian#AirConditioning’ could help cool modern buildings

    One research team hopes to harness 5,000-year-old ideas to battle rising temperatures.

    by Andrew Paul
    Published Aug 22, 2023

    "By retrofitting their shipping container test chamber with off-the-grid, solar powered battery storage, AL-Hassawi’s team can heat their chamber to upwards of 130 degrees Fahrenheit to test out their solutions while measuring factors such as air velocity, temperature, and humidity. The team is particularly focused on optimizing a passive cooling method involving large towers and evaporative cooling that dates as far back as 2,500 BCE in ancient Egypt. In these designs, moisture evaporates at the tower’s top, which turns into cool, heavier air that then sinks down to the habitable space below. In the team’s version, moisture could be generated via misting nozzles, shower heads, or simply water-soaked pads.

    " 'It’s an older technology, but there’s been an attempt to innovate and use a mix of new and existing technologies to improve performance and the cooling capacity of these systems,' explained Al-Hassawi, who also envisions retrofitting smokestacks in older buildings to work as new cooling towers."
