Goes along with my idea that ancient civilizations were more advanced then we think. Imagine the world today if the Industrial Revolution had started 2,000 years ago.

The ancient greeks had a working steam engine. Why didn't they use it? Didn't need to. Had plenty of slaves to do the work for them.
The plans burnt when the romans torched the library of alexandria. That still p****s me off.
