Description

The ancient Greeks had made a remarkable advancement, in the field of Engineering and Technology. Their achievements, from 3000 BC until 1100 AD, leave us speechless and confirm that the modern technology does not owe its existence only to the industrial revolution. The ancient Greeks have put the founding stones here too. The author, after a long research, presents their most important inventions in architecture, ship building, metallurgy, the construction of statues, presents simple mechanisms and mechanisms with cogs, and even the engineers of the Hellenistic era, besieging and martial machines, several hydraulic achievements and others.
