I'm BRILLICE. Don't cut me off. Sorry! I didn't know you could've been your last name! You didn't have to be your last name... Miles. Go. Rai- Seagull. Seagull, like the bird or Jonathan Livingston. And then we're supposed to pay turn and follow your official Twitter account and we react into a video Yes, all the 12 great inventions. We should thank India for Do you know any invention? I was I was thinking well, I saw the decimal in one video, you know, that's pretty important You know, but I can't think of anything. Let's go, but I'm sure they really could but I don't want to I just want to see I'm sure there's a time a gazillion I mean and I bet there's some that other people have taken the credit for and the Indians have just said yeah So Here we go 12 great inventions we can thank India for We all know that India is one of the oldest civilizations in the world like the super rich culture in history Did you know that some of the stuff you use every single day was invented in this country? I just zoom From the buttons on your shirt by the shampoo in your shower Watch this video till the end to find out what brilliant things we can thank India for All right, number one the zero People in ancient times had always thought that there should be some sort of a sign to indicate nothing Well, their worries were put to rest in the fifth century AD When Aryabhata an Indian genius Invented the zero as a symbol to represent nothing It made addition subtraction and a slew of other mathematical operations You can see the oldest zero in existence carved in the wall of a temple in wallier India If you're not a big fan of math and the invention of zero seems like nothing too important to you Just think without it. We would have no binary system and no computers. How do you like that zero now? Number two rulers No, really in the back in this Valley civilization was using rulers in 1500 BC and earlier May from either these rulers were found during excavations and what is present-day Pakistan and Northwestern India? Apparently they were widely used in architecture with pretty amazing They had units corresponding to 1.32 agents that are marked with extremely precise subdivisions within 5,000 Number three chess Really this whole time game for intellectuals is also an Indian invention It's ancestor was called chaturanga and it was a strategic board game Like a very popular game hire around 6th century AD or Star Wars Like the chess we know today. This game had various pieces with different value and capabilities It also had an important king figure and winning the game depended on the fate of the king Another popular board game brought to us by India is snakes and ladders Original version was called Machchipot, and it was invented by a 13th century poet and saved by the name The snakes stood for vices while ladders were virtues During India's time under British rule the game made its way to England and later to the US Number four plastic surgery Seriously in the 6th century BC an Indian physician Shushurita created a huge reference book on medicine and surgery It was one of the world's earliest works of his kind Shushurita often called the father of surgery in his own country Described the use of hundreds of medicinal plants and instructions for performing surgical procedures Including nose reconstruction and skin transplantation from one part of the body to another Yes The original method of rhinoplasty that involved taking a piece of skin from the forehead to reconstruct the nose I love circus. I love circus. I even still use today. I like watching surgery But back then nose jobs were done to help people who had been deprived of their noses punishment for adultery How times have changed Number five cataract surgery really Shushurita not only invented plastic surgery, but also performed the first cataract surgery The front he used a curved needle to remove the lens from the affected eye This revolutionary procedure gets scary now popular outside of India I genuinely thought this was a current 20th century to get operations done and learn from this experience Yikes the genius surgeon never turned anyone away He said that he got all his knowledge from the God of Ayurvedic medicine Might be wrong number six wireless communication. Yeah You know Immediately comes to mind and that's for good reason, of course He even received the Nobel Prize in physics in 1909 for his innovative work But sir Jyotish Chandra Bose presented his discovery of radio communication waves to the public in 1895 He sent an electromagnetic wave across 75 feet at the town hall in Calcutta The wave passed through walls rang a bell and ignited some gunpowder Marconi used Bose's invention the mercury cohere as a pattern to build his operational two-way radio Bose never patented his work. So he was only credited for his discovery a century later Number seven the USB The USB or universal cereal box is a way better than we said invention wireless communication, of course It was brought to us by Ajay by an Indian American computer about that was working as an engineer for Intel back in the 1990s He came up with the idea of a universal port for devices as he was putting an SD card into his computer Remember those things? Yes The device instantly became a huge hit But himself didn't get money or official recognition for his invention as he's always insisted that it was the result of teamwork Today the amount of USB devices used worldwide is over 10 billion items Making it the most used computer gadget out there Don't call it a USB port call it my name But If you keep practicing it and see the positive changes in your life, then you should thank India for it Ashley love yoga guru was Lord Shiva also known as Adi yoga People in Northern India were practicing this spiritual exercise over 5,000 years ago The word yoga was even mentioned in the Vedas India's oldest sacred text The Brahmins further developed the art of yoga and documented their experiences in a treatise with over 200 records Indian Prime Minister Narendra moody came up with the idea to celebrate yoga day on June 21st And it's now an actual international holiday with millions of followers Number nine natural fibers Nothing feels better than the touch of natural cotton on your skin We could have been deprived of the situation if it weren't for the bright minds of India Unlike the ancient Greeks who are animal skins the Indians started cultivating cotton back in the 5th and 4th centuries BC They use cotton threads to produce fabrics that soon became a huge hit in the Mediterranean and beyond I took it literally They Actually comes from the cashmere region of India Number 10 flush toilets You can probably see by now the Indus Valley civilization came up with so many genius inventions Actually toilets are one of them. I thought believe it or not home toilets connected to a complicated suing system I thought that was now irrigation Management I could be wrong about that land of spices over 5,000 years ago pure genius Number 11 shampoo The word shampoo comes from the Hindi word shampoo, which means to massage or need The substance was invented in India in 1762 and was originally used for head massages hence the name Wow, I had no idea the first shampoo was made of natural oils and herbs It took years for the original head massage oil to evolve into shampoo as we know it today But fact is that you have the Indians to thank for the beauty and cleanliness of your hair Thanks Thank you Number 12 buttons This clothing staple is at the top of our list so simple yet Revolutionary the first button were found during excavations in Mohenjo Dara One of the largest settlements of the Indus Valley civilization. The visuals are quite good. Yeah Over 5,000 years ago buttons were made of seashells and used as an ornament and not for fastening clothes But they had two holes in the middle right from the start So are there any inventions on the list that you can't live without let's discuss it in the comment section Let's just go through the comment section The number zero I mean there's a lot in there that like you can't yeah Yeah, but all I mean math is but I would say of the 12 I'd probably 10. I did not know I mean, I know yoga. Yeah, and I would have I would assume that a bunch especially now that we know That India invented a bunch because they're so oh, I mean if you're the oldest civilization you're bound to create most of My America has invented almost nothing Well, well nothing old nothing. Oh, it's true They've invented newer technologies, but yeah, sometimes as this shows they stole stuff This this is a well-done video. It's a very narration got a little cheesy, but it did but Isn't that funny I Didn't know yeah, most of that I did not know and some of it I presumed like the flush toilet I thought that was Romans or I would have thought the Greeks or the Egyptians like the ruler I thought the Egyptians came up with the measuring of a ruler kind of system But I love yeah, I think most of the stuff that Which is crazy in America we learn more about Rome than we do about India hands down because that's why Western civilization That makes sense. Yeah, it's it's amazing I've asked that recently of Micah because Micah is just finishing up his he's about to start his senior year in high school So he's still in the education system and have asked him How much of your education have you studied where you have been looking at world history and the accentuation on West versus East? It is unequivocally Western heavy Very little information has been given to him not only about India, but everybody else in Asia. Why is that though? Well, I know I know in America obviously you were very America centric So we're very focused on what we have Western civilization and our origins like why But also it has to do with like like that guy that didn't want to take credit for the USB. Yeah, India is like We love you and we're not saying you don't you're not proud of what you do But they're not braggy. They're not boastful They're not like they'll like oftentimes in America if like you invented cancer like a cure for cancer Right a normal decent person would just give that out. So, you know Billions of people could write I haven't really from cancer. Yeah, if it was invented by an American I don't can almost guarantee they would sell it to the first bitter Yeah, sadly the first thought would be wow. I'm rich. Yeah versus wow people can be healed Yeah, it's a sad comment and on and I think that's the human condition big difference Like I think India would be like I we found the cure for cancer Here it is, right Right, and so that's I think one of the things it's like they won't they're even if they're like we know We know we invented it. Yeah, I'm not gonna correct you I think and I think you know to really get philosophical about it I think the reason why in the education system, for example, it's so Western centric and not Eastern focused Pretty much at all is solely because of two things Conditioning that's just the way it's been because we came from England. That's true So the whole educational system was framed around the way things were taught in England and then secondarily Most people just replicate which is why we know the big good parts of church Oh, not the other parts of church. Oh, or even in American history We're only taught the good parts of our founders. That's true We don't talk about no the bad stuff you But they ever do bad, of course nothing there were perfect none of them own slaves none of them So yeah, it's very disappointing to discover we trust us. We love our country deeply But like every country including India has its major flaws and one of the biggest flaws in America is For being such a generous people and being such an extraordinary nation in such a short amount of time we can be so self-centered Where we just don't even care forget pay attention Americans don't Care like I was talking earlier about the moon. Yeah, nobody here cares that India is doing anything with the moon Yeah, they could care less They could care less about flooding in South India. They don't even know what's happening. Yeah but That was a good video though. I great. Yeah, really good. Especially a lot of new information Yeah, and done. Well, not not too much self-promotion, which is Sometimes annoying especially when they do it right in the middle of the video Yeah, like I understand like at the end or the beginning but like yeah, like hi if you like this subscribe Yeah Shut up. Let me watch the video and I'm waiting for comments I know a lot of you're gonna put stuff in there and did you also know so this will probably turn into for those of you Who would read the comments you're gonna see a lot of stupid babies I'm sure saying and hey, did you also know did you also know it'll turn into not just 12 things We'll find out a hundred. Yeah, and if there's videos on educational stuff about India as always Please let us know in the comments What those videos are because we not only love trailers movies. We love to learn about all of India music The martial arts. Yeah, yeah, well it doesn't matter. Yeah, so just please let us know and India you've invented a lot and thanks for helping us not be so stupid or thanks for the shitter What oh yeah, some people call the toilet the shitter. Well, that's a flushing one
