  • I was not laughing at the Roman Artillery.

    Roman was the best in the would at the time, and one of the best in human history! Nothing-laughable about Roman Artillery! I was laughing about what they did and said about the Roman Artillery They would not admit that they simply built it wrong, or did a bad job on it.

    I just made a example: I can see people in the year 4000 AD remaking a US artillery from 1998, and only fire half a mile! A US artillery can fire 15 mils Get it?

  • mr. bean?

  • It's obviously not a team of experts...its got a woman on it.

  • I remember hearing from some friends of mine that apparently the team ignored Alan Wilkins (the historical consultant) advice on a number of counts as they thought it might make the machine too expensive. An example of this is that Alan Wilkins wanted the catapulta to be made of oak or ash but the BBC team went ahead and made it of PINE.

  • @kyleisreallycool It's true guns were used pretty widely by then. But it would often be used alongside guns because they were much cheaper. Cortés used catapults

  • @northreach 400 years ago they had and used cannons not catapults

  • @255Knights high school students in the year 4000 AD will build space shuttles for their science projects

  • @255Knights i think its more likely that they will be rebuilding 'Fat Boy'

  • It's not a Catapult its a Ballista -.-'

    It's not a small catapult, it's a Scorpion -.-'

  • Well looks like something's gunna to die
