Описание: Ancient Greek Inventions We Still Use Today SHOCKED Scientists!

There are a plethora of items we use in our daily lives which you may be surprised to hear are actually ancient Greek inventions. They may not have perfected the makeshift and primitive inventions, but they did pave the way for many of our modern conveniences.

Ancient Greek inventions that will shock you:
1. The Alarm Clock
Dating back to 428-348 BC, ancient Greek philosopher, Plato, was the first to have an alarm clock. Not to be confused with the digital alarms that we rely on nowadays, his was a ‘water clock.’ The design was as such that, after it had counted the desired time, it would play notes from a water organ—quite the alarm clock!

2. Automatic Doors
Another invention that we continually use, clueless to its Greek origin, is automatic doors. Of course, the prototype for automatic doors was powered by steam and not electricity. Heron of Alexandria created a hydraulic system and installed it at an Alexandrian temple, complete with fire, water, and steam. The ropes would be triggered and the doors pulled open.
