      I remember you asking this in the chat! Even with more time to think I’m not sure. I think his best inventions are still used today! and his other ones are more war inventions so I wouldn’t want to make those fully operational. What inventions would you salvage?

      I think his best inventions are still in use today, which shows how good they were. I particularly like the Archimedes’ screw as a way of moving liquid. Probably as impressive as his inventions were his mathematical discoveries. I can see why these aren’t talked about as much, but they will be very important for the new inventions of today!
