1. Hero's (Heron's) aeolipile steam engine of 50 AD is all that I remember -

how does Bush's existence as President depend on the math or toys to teach physics devenoped by an old Greek?

3. They found some recent artifacts that Heron had created

He might have been the first person to invent the computer. Mind you it was nothing like ours but he did invent one. He also invented the first vending machine that you put a coin in and holy water came out.

Historians have been talking about his inventions for years. I believe that Heron had to be one of the most important inventors of all time.

If it weren't for Herons inventions would diebold have even existed?
