Introducing the original Time Lord - Al-Jazari

[COZYTW]

I came here, looking for Doctor Who things.

Never have I slept through a Youtube video.

... Then again, that's a good thing, it means this is educational.

@COZYTW You found Al-Jazari boring? That's astonishing. Why Rassilon himself would be astounded by the works of Al-Jazari, which combined pioneering engineering with a passion for the aesthetic that was truly unique.

Oh well, can't please everyone. Some Doctor Who fans who just enjoy the big explosions, gurning and running down corridors and have zero interest in science and engineering. :)

@pulman7

Leonardo da Vinci is the only one I can think of that's even comparable. Someone on another site also mentioned Heron of Alexandria. The inventions of all three were centuries ahead of their time.
