It's easy to say "Archimedes designed that..." as the Nova series does, but only because so much history has been lost.

Making the metal and cutting the gears and other parts for the mechanism was a high technology as sophisticated as the math. We don't know, and may never know, the people who were masters of that.

War is such a horrible thing, so much is lost.
