The Ancient Supercity of Athens

Today on Far Future Horizons we travel back in time to the age of classical antiquity to visit the Ancient Supercity of Athens.

In the 5th century BC, one man led his city to greatness and paved the way for western civilization. The city was Athens and Pericles was not a king or prince, but an elected ruler. He directed the most costly and ambitious construction campaign undertaken in the western world, creating a model city of temples, houses, market places, civic buildings, and a highly innovative sanitation system.

Ancient Tank Tech

We think of the tank as a twentieth century armoured war machine that first saw deployment in the First World War.

The first tank to engage in battle was designated D1, a British Mark I Male, during the Battle of Flers-Courcelette (part of the wider Somme offensive) on September 15^th, 1916. But, the concept of the tank as a war machine has its antecedents that can be traced to classical antiquity.
