Saviez-vous qu'il existe une légende à propos d'une ancienne machine volante en Inde appelée le Vimana ? Ces fascinantes machines sont mentionnées dans des textes anciens comme les Vedas et le Ramayana, où elles sont décrites comme des palais flottants ou des chars capables de s'élancer à travers les cieux. Certains croient même que ces merveilles volantes étaient propulsées par une technologie avancée, bien en avance sur leur temps. Cette idée a suscité des débats, certains disant que c'est juste de la mythologie, tandis que d'autres se demandent si les civilisations anciennes ne savaient pas plus que nous le pensons. Les scientifiques et les historiens sont sceptiques car il n'y a pas de preuves solides de l'existence réelle des Vimanas, mais les descriptions dans les textes sont extrêmement détaillées et intrigantes.

00:00The ancient Indian texts evoke chariots richly adorned, even entire palaces, known under the name of Vimana, capable of rising in the air and traveling, in a few seconds, distances going into space.
00:13If some consider these Vimanas as exclusively relevant to Indian mythology, others estimate that they could be inspired by a real technology, lost over the centuries.
00:23According to the texts of the ancient Indian Vedas, there were varied Vimanas, such as the elephant Vimana with several engines, as well as many models bearing the names of animals or birds.
00:34Some were designed for local journeys, others for traveling abroad, and others for exploring the moon or other planets.
00:41They could reach amazing speeds. One of the Vimanas had the exceptional ability to become invisible.
00:47Another, in the form of a sphere, was propelled by the winds of Mercury. This model would have produced an immense radius, comparable to that of the sun, and a resounding noise similar to thunder.
00:59All the Vimanas were said to be indestructible and perfectly adapted to combat.
01:04To pilot a Vimana, you had to master a set of skills comparable to those required for a modern aircraft pilot, and grouped into 32 secrets.
01:13They included the structure of the aircraft, the take-off and maneuvering techniques in all safety, as well as specific skills such as how to make yourself visible or invisible, how to hide, how to be fast, or how to manage the phenomena of contraction and expansion.
01:30To escape these adversaries, the pilot of a Vimana had to rise to the 8th atmospheric layer above the Earth and draw from the power of the dark solar rays.
01:40If this instruction may seem strange, other instructions, more plausible, retain a certain relevance in the context of modern aeronautics.
01:48Some sections of the texts dedicated to the Vimanas highlight aspects such as flight itineraries, pilot training, navigation, but also the appropriate outfits for these, as well as the recommended foods for long trips.
02:02These writings also contain detailed technical information on the use of metals absorbing heat, the types of metals used, and their fusion points.
02:11Defenders of the idea that the Vimanas were more than mere myths, believe that the ancient Indians probably would not have devoted so much precision to a vulgar legend.
02:21Thus, these flying palaces could have been real and extraordinarily ahead of their time, like many other Indian inventions.
02:29In the 6th century BC, an Indian surgeon named Sushruta wrote what is considered the first manual of medicine and surgery.
02:39Named the father of surgery for his contributions, Sushruta cataloged hundreds of medicinal plants and described complex surgical interventions.
02:48He notably assigned instructions for nasal reconstructions, as well as skin grafts transferred from one part of the body to another.
02:55The original technique of rhinoplasty, which consisted of taking a fragment of skin on the forehead to reconstruct a nose, is still used today.
03:04However, at the time, this intervention responded to very different needs from those of impressing the public on social networks.
03:11These surgeries were intended to help individuals who had lost their nose due to a punishment or injury suffered in combat.
03:18It is to a prodigy of Indian mathematics of antiquity, named Aryabhata, that we owe the invention of zero.
03:25Although it may seem trivial, this discovery was crucial, because without it, there would be no binary system, no computer.
03:33Before the 5th century BC, people were content with a simple symbol to indicate the absence of value.
03:39Thanks to this invention, addition, subtraction and many other operations have become infinitely simpler.
03:45You can observe the oldest known zero, engraved on the wall of a temple in Gwalior, India.
03:51From 1500 BC, or earlier, the civilization of the Indus Valley used ivory rules.
03:58These instruments, found during excavations on the sites of present-day Pakistan and northwestern India, were commonly used in architecture with remarkable precision.
04:06Each rule contained units measuring just over 3 cm, meticulously divided into precise subunits, up to a tolerance of 2,000th of a centimeter.
04:16The following invention is more about the concept than the tangible object.
04:21Standardization consists of setting common rules based on a set of criteria, whether human, material or of varied interest.
04:29One of these most notable applications, to which we are used today, is that of standardized weights.
04:36Whether we use pounds or kilograms, these universal measures are essential, aren't they?
04:41For this, we owe a big thank you to the merchants of the Arab civilization, who lived almost 4,000 years ago.
04:48They used standardized weights to measure both cereals and luxury goods.
04:53Their measurement system was based on decimal and binary mathematical bases.
04:57Although they did not have advanced technologies, they achieved remarkable precision thanks to complex calculations and the ingenious use of materials such as sand for construction.
05:08Their expertise in standardization spread to Persia and Central Asia, thus becoming a global weight standard.
05:17If yoga is your favorite practice, you have an excellent reason to pay tribute to the ancient Indian sages.
05:22Yoga was mentioned for the first time in the Vedas of the Sarasvati Indian civilization, in northern India, more than 5,000 years ago.
05:31Over time, this discipline has been perfected and enriched, becoming a vast philosophy comprising more than 200 sacred writings devoted to the art of reaching enlightenment.
05:41At the beginning of our era, yoga took on a new dimension thanks to the Hindu writer Patanjali, who structured the practice in his work, the Yoga Sutras.
05:49This discipline has transformed into a complete method of rejuvenation of the body and into a practice aimed at prolonging life, with postures that we continue to execute on the mats of today.
06:00It was only in the 19th century that yoga won the Western world, where it spread rapidly.
06:06The chess game, often considered the favorite game of intellectuals, is also an Indian invention.
06:13Its ancestor, known as Chaturanga, was a board strategy game that began to become popular about 3,000 years before our era.
06:22This primitive version of chess was played with four players instead of two, and had 64 squares.
06:28Each participant had 8 pieces, ranging from pawns to kings, through crazy people and knights.
06:35At that time, no classic six-sided dice was used, but a diabolong.
06:39The players who faced each other were actually grouped into two teams, depending on their position.
06:45The modern version of chess, as we know it today, is mentioned for the first time in a legend of ancient Indian literature.
06:53According to this story, the wife of the demon Ravana would have invented the game to amuse her husband.
06:58The word shampoo has its origin in an Indian term meaning to soothe or knead.
07:04This substance, invented in India in 1762, was originally used for skull massages, hence its name.
07:11The first shampoo was composed of natural oil and plants.
07:16British merchants, seduced by this idea, brought it back to England.
07:21Then it took several years for this massage oil to evolve into shampoo, as we know it today, but its origin remains Indian.
07:29Unlike the ancient Greeks, who wore animal skins, the Indians began to cultivate cotton as early as the 5th and 4th centuries BC.
07:38They used cotton threads to make textiles, which quickly became very popular in the Mediterranean and beyond.
07:45Jute and wool also find their roots in India.
07:49Kashmir, famous for being the finest and most luxurious wool, comes from the region of the same name, located on the border of India, Pakistan and China.
07:58As for the buttons ornamenting these Kashmir clothes, they also have an Indian origin.
08:03About 5,000 years ago, the civilization of the Indus Valley transformed shells into geometric shapes pierced with small holes.
08:11These ornaments, first purely decorative, were then used to attach the clothes.
08:17When we mention the pioneers of radio communication, the name of Marconi is often the one that dominates.
08:23In 1909, he even received the Nobel Prize in Physics for his revolutionary work.
08:29However, another genius, long in the shadows, deserves to be recognized.
08:34Sir Jack Disch, Chandra Bose.
08:36As early as 1895, Bose demonstrated the potential of radio communication waves.
08:41During an experiment at the Calcutta City Hall, he transmitted an electromagnetic wave over a distance of 23 meters,
08:48crossing walls, triggering a bell, and even inflating gunpowder.
08:53Marconi was inspired by the invention of Bose, Mercury's co-author, to develop his own bidirectional radio.
09:00Alas, Bose did not patent his invention, and he did not get recognition for his genius until a century later.
