The Herodotus Machine : ウィキペディア英語版 | The Herodotus Machine
The Herodotus Machine was a machine described by Herodotus, a Greek historian born in Halicarnassus, Caria (modern-day Bodrum, Turkey). Herodotus claims this invention enabled the Egyptians to construct the pyramids. The machine supposedly allowed workers to lift heavy building materials. Herodotus is believed to have encountered the machine while traveling through Ancient Egypt. With limited reference and no true schematics, this machine has stimulated many historians' theories of how the Ancient Egyptians were able to create pyramids. ==Herodotus in Egypt==
Herodotus is suspected of having embellished – or made up entirely – some of his historical accounts, but scholars generally accept this particular account as Herodotus provides otherwise reasonable accounts of Egypt and it would have been quite possible for someone living in Parnassus to safely and easily travel to Egypt during Herodotus' lifetime. Trade existed between the Greek City States and the kingdom of Egypt. In Egypt Herodotus is thought to have conversed with locals on the matter.〔Herodotus, Robin Waterfield, and Carolyn Dewald.
