15 GENIUS Ancient Siege Weapons 

This soldier surely got crucified for killing ancient Einstein

@@midosch7639 The soldier followed orders. They had been instructed to ask, "What is your name?" in Greek (though most common legionaries did not know Greek). The soldier asked the question to Archimedes. Archimedes (busy with his work) said, "Don't disturb me." in Greek. The soldier thought his name was "Dontdisturbme" and killed him.

@@sameerthakur720 oh damn such a bad luck :(

Pos we would have better mathematical instruments by now.. Smh😠

False

How many channels do this guy have... Hahahahahaha

Yeah I was wondering why his voice was so farmiliar

How many channels does this guy need

Cool i the voice is familiar

I think so

urbam myth! the claw of my azz

What is weird about anything being effective ?? Maybe your thoughts are 😐🤐.

@@jimmyohara2601 OH I'm sorry I didn't create a hammer that lifted ships out of the fucking ocean and drop them back down.

They did not have technology to create a lens that big - concave metal mirrors are the most likely.

Archimedes did not invent a death ray. it's a total myth

i wouldnt bother watching mythbusters. those fools won't know anything and neither till we until we go back in time and see every little meticulous detail. these documentaries are good enough

I've read that it was hundreds of mirrors held and aimed at one point. Multiplying the suns reflection.

Even then theres no way to make a ship burn with that. It needs a still point, not a ship that goes up and down and back and forth. If you ever used a lens to make a fire you would know that it doesnt burn instantly, it needs to be exactly right on focus and then it still takes a bit. Even if that works once like a miracle, it would never work multiple times. If they ever had this device as the legend has it, it would probably be more blinding than doing any damage.

Yeah

Yeah

Thought so.

I didn't know a kaiju watches youtube

@@elijahjamescomia6331 nah nah nah nah, titan, not kaiju

everything becomes illegal right after the USA gets away with doing it. 60 million indigenous taught Hitler how to kill 6.

😊😉

eastern roman.. no such thing as byzantine empire

False otherwise I wouldn't be hungry

Da mmm

Same here, lol. I used to imagine a goat running full speed into a wooden city gate... It's all in the name, right?

then you saw Braveheart and realized the truth. Hey, I used to think Molotov cocktails were called Mazeltov cocktails until a Jewish friend corrected me.

I mean they are in the ballista category so that counts I guess And crossbows are also mini ballista.

This is entirely wrong.

@@robotniqueee It is what I had heard and fits the facts. SO what is your explanation.

War..a guy thing.

@@renahernandez5120 Nope--just applied physics. Action and reaction are equal and opposite--

@@renahernandez5120 Have you not heard of Queen Hatshepsut?

finally someone that mentioned it! yeap proved even with modern tech its useless

Also the Romans managed to take Syracuse

Liquid fire

If I remember much like the painting There was very lil info But I think somebody wanted to make a handheld version of it for normal troops The fuckin Greeks were about to set tranches ablaze a couple centuries before the Germans XD

Turn Covid into a weapon. Many communist countries have had bio-warfare programs. The Chinese had their premier Virus research facility at Wuhan. They have been researching Coronaviruses at least since 2005. Put two and two together.

@@sameerthakur720 At least we now trying to fight back and have a staging ground against Covid, imagine Resident Evil game turn true and we have deadly undead instead of this

COVID already is a weapon

Napalm was the closest modern man has come to equal Greek fire

@@tweakfreq1982 And Napalm is far superior to Greek fire.

Right? a Rope! and Tug? and Down she Goes! Had to stay out of that Range! maybe a ramp if the opertunity was there, but these dudes Lived and Died with their Smarts!

You're wrong man... There are several ancient documents and images confirming... The siege tower or mobile tower is a war machine used to reach the defensive walls of a city or fortress during a siege. The siege towers were made of wood, pulled by oxen and with some walls covered with skins to protect themselves from enemy missiles. Inside there were several floors connected to each other with stairs. At the top there was a "drawbridge" which allowed access to the walls.[1] They had a square base and to ensure they were sufficiently stable, not only did they narrow in height, but the area of ​​the upper platform was equal to 1/5 of the base. They could reach considerable heights, as happened during the campaigns of Alexander the Great where one of these reached the measurement of 120 cubits equal to 53 meters. In Roman times we know that in Masada in 74, one of 60 cubits was built, equal to about 26 meters, also equipped with catapults, ballistae and a large ram. Greetings.

"Back then, they didn't have mirrors." Yes they did. First known mirror was from 6k BC or something. "Btw, for those 'claws'" My guess is that they exploited leverage far more than the vast majority of modern guesswork shows. I can come up with several options that should work at the very least. And if they placed them in optimal positions, they wouldn't need that many for them to be as effective as written, especially as they probably also surprised the enemy.

Would have needed a really large spring and maybe some gears. Maybe a leaf spring design might be simpler. This is definitely an interesting idea

thats not even ancient era weapons longbow is from medieval era.

The English longbow was effective only in that it was inexpensive and "easy" to make and when unstrung, doubled as a staff. It had less range and power that the recurve bow - and was too large to be used on horseback. As a "projectile weapon" is was very much inferior to the recurve bow. It is also a lesser weapon to the flatbow (Nth America) which is similar part from the "ends" (which do not taper - therefore adding just that little more tension). The main advantage of these masses ranks of longbow archers was not only in the bow - it was essentially in the men themselves - they were also armed with long knives and were more than effective as light infantry - especially effective against heavily armoured "knights" who'd been de-horsed (this was the real decider at Agincourt).

great game!
