Legendary video. And I believe it doesn't even do their technology justice:

  1. Library of Alexandria comparable to the internet/enlightenment era universities.
  2. Egyptian fluorescent lights.
  3. Baghdad batteries - yes that means electricity, see also #2.
  4. Steam engines.
  5. Ankytheran mechanism - analog computer/~1400 century precision mechanics.

If they had not instituted welfare through the grain dole we could have entered the space age around A.D. ~400-500.
