=======================================

Medieval people invented technologies so effective that authorities tried to destroy them. Hand mills were smashed by feudal lords protecting grain monopolies. Crossbows were banned by papal decree as "hateful to God." Herbal medicines were dismissed as superstition as wise women faced persecution. Self-healing concrete was simply forgotten for over a thousand years. Modern science has now validated what medieval innovators knew all along. This video examines seven suppressed medieval inventions and the research proving they were far ahead of their time.
