Machines that Time forgot

Last night saw a group of historians built a Byzantine 'Fire Ship'. Although the idea of a cauldron full of heated oil on a furnace in a wooden built replica boat sounds like good TV...with hilarious/explosive results. The show shocked and entertained in other ways:
These people had real problems making a PUMP to spray the hot oil at the target ship.
And they were making it with MODERN welding technologies.

Come on Channel 4, giv'us a break.


Got a view? What a voice? Let me know
