@echoesoftime.us: Could Archimedes' claw really lift a Roman warship? A crane that pulls a warship out of the sea. When Marcellus attacked Syracuse from the water in 213 BC, Archimedes had beams that swung out over the sea wall and dropped an iron claw on a chain. Polybius says it gripped the prow, hauled the ship up onto its stern, then let it go, so it capsized or filled with water. 213 BC. AI reconstruction with its own recorded sound, no narration. Sources: Polybius 8.5-7; Plutarch, Marcellus 15. #creatorsearchinsights #theromans #archimedes #ancientrome #syracuse #History
