Technological Achievements Underrepresented

The Ancient Greeks are responsible for a lot of things that the current world never seems to acknowledge. Ancient Greece is often associated with the Gods, battles, Spartans, and the amazing monuments they erected. Even while all of those things merit attention, we frequently and drastically undervalue their technological accomplishments.

Some of the greatest brains the world has ever known lived in ancient Greece. Everyday objects like alarm clocks, automated doors, central heating, and showers can all be linked to these great brains, from Plato to Archimedes, in some way. Plato's invention of the first alarm clock and Archimedes' development of the first steam cannon are two well-known examples of Greek technological advancements. The earliest lighthouse, located in Alexandria, as well as clock towers, weather stations, watermills, and other structures are all attributed to the Ancient Greeks.
