  • Archimedes was the greatest mathematician and engineer of the ancient world. It's the combination of the two that truly set him apart. He was SO CLOSE to inventing calculus as well, but he was killed by a Roman foot soldier during the siege of Syracuse even though they had been ordered not to harm him..

    Hey! It's the simple history dude! Lol
  • Archimedes was that one guy who invented weird things that were surprisingly effective.
  • Archimedes' death ray wasn't a simple mirror. Even concave mirrors would lack the focus and range to track and lit up ships at a distance. He most likely used focus lenses, much like a telescope, on movable gears. Seeing the Mythbusters attempting to replicate that with a hundreds kids holding mirrors was quite funny though.
  • Wait a minute, i think i know this voice, IT'S THE SIMPLEHISTORY DUDE..!!! 😲😲
  • The last siege tower used in combat was by the US Army in WW2 to re-capture Fort Drum from the Japanese in Manila Bay.
  • Limestone is a popular building material. Vinegar can dissolve limestone, the Beotian Flame thrower opened up cracks to allow it inside the wall.
  • Thank you very much for this information. I had heard of most of these things, but it's very good to have them all together in one quick video like this. Thank you very much. Well done sir. God bless you.
