How Romans Heated Every Room With Zero Electricity (2,000 Years Ago)

Two thousand years before central heating became standard, Romans were already warming entire buildings — floors and walls both — using nothing but fire, clay pipes, and clever engineering called the hypocaust. This video breaks down exactly how it worked: the hidden underfloor chambers, the furnace rooms tended by enslaved workers, the real operating temperatures archaeologists have measured, and why this technology nearly vanished for 1,500 years after Rome fell — only to quietly reappear today as "modern" underfloor heating.
