👉 Forgotten engineering refers to the advanced and innovative techniques and technologies that were once used but have since fallen out of favor or are not widely known today. These often include intricate systems like the Antikythera mechanism, an ancient Greek analog computer used to predict astronomical positions and eclipses, or the sophisticated water management systems of ancient civilizations such as the qanats in Persia, which efficiently transported water over long distances. These forgotten technologies showcase the ingenuity of past engineers and highlight areas where modern engineering could benefit from reviving or adapting these time-tested methods.
