Ancient Technology Podcast
This channel is the home of the Ancient Technology Podcast, and my documentary work about ancient engineering, lost knowledge, and the open questions of human history. I’m Karoly Poka, a technology innovation research engineer. As a hobby, I use modern tools like 3D scanning, field research, and technical analysis to take a closer look at ancient structures, precision artifacts, and technologies that don’t fit neatly into simple explanations. Here you’ll find full podcast episodes, long-form conversations with researchers, and documentary-style investigations focused on evidence.
