@fctchk I think he is just talking about an idividual who happened to be muslim. Don't be so paranoid.

I drank Perrier water that said Hanibals soldiers drank from the same wells. Didnt mention pumping though. Guess Archimedes is still the front runner.

@sailingsolar thats a bit of a massive generalisation there doncha think?

this is not the first pump... DUMBASS!

The ancestor of the modern force pump—which features a cylinder with a plunger or piston at the top that creates a vacuum and draws water upward through valves at the bottom--was reputedly designed by Ctesibus of Alexandria, Egypt. Vetruvius mentioned this device, as he did the saqiya, in his first century B.C. chronicles. Muslim, heritage? Look at what their doing today. Killing innocent women , children and civilians. SS

Water pumps have existed long before the Muslims. Ctesibus, a Greek from Alexandria invented one, as well as a pump for a water organ, in the second century B.C. Archimedes was another Greek who invented a screw design for raising water.

it was greeks who first made pumps. also the oldest known form is the rope pump. not a mechanical suction based device...srsly who lied to you?

I'm fairly certain the first waterpump was an Archimedes screw.

@Kenarah There is no such thing as a "Muslim physicist" just as there's no such thing as a Christian, Hindu or Jewish physicist. There is no such thing as Muslim science just as there is no such thing as Christian, Hindu or Jewish science. Scientific discoveries are made through application of the scientific method which not only has nothing to do with religion but runs counter to it. Indeed when science and reason is applied to religion it exposes religion for the palpable nonsense that it is.
