@xuimod: That's terribly ignorant of you; it's quite obvious that English is not the expert's first language; I think most of us would be taciturn as well if we were being interviewed by a Polish interviewer and expected to answer in Polish!

The Assyrians were using siege towers long before medieval Europe. Their version didn't have a bridge but rather a large battering ram at the top. I think I like that version better.

Alexander the Great also used them a few hundred years later, most likely improving them with things like rawhide to make them fire-resistant

I would like to see two armies with one of these. They should add a trebuche to the top and a massive axe like weapon made of one whole tree trunk added to the side that is pulled up like a draw bridge then released for a massive downward strike and have a medieval mech battle.

There is one thing I have been wondering, how the wheels axis can take that load. Do you have any insight to that?
@KeiwaM

On real siege towers, there was no back wheel and on some of them there was no roof on the archery floor either. The wheel axis was usually very thick beams going all the way through. There also was no knights on it before it was in position. Only archers on the top floor. When the tower was in position, it didn't need the wheels anymore so they locked them in place and the knights went up in the tower and since it was in position, it didn't matter that they broke at this point.

​@@KeiwaM Very insightful answer and also thanks to Antti for asking it. I always wondered how tremendously heavy these things would be and how much strain would be placed on axis, wheels and the soil. I think even an impromptu road would have to be built at night with packed gravel for the tower to roll on lest it's wheels sink away in the earth.

I’ve yet to see a reasonable explanation of this. This ways as much as a modern tank, and is being drawn by unprotected ox tied to the front, with wooden wheels on uneven terrain that might also be wet?

If one of these were approaching, fire arrows might do the trick to burn it. However, I believe some were encased in stone or covered in other protections.

Well firstly, the host of the show is... a host of a show... Of course he researches the points he wants to talk about before he gets there, so he's going to be asking directed questions to get across the information on the siege tower that the scriptwriters/host has deemed important. The expert is a builder and/or historian most likely, not made for television interviews; more to the point, the points the host was bringing up were probably too obvious for the expert to have said.

You must love Jehovah your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your mind and with all your strength. You must love your neighbor as yourself. Jesus the anointed is Lord! Repent and be baptized and believe the Gospel. God wills you live you should put side walls on the bridge door attached so as to fit in the tower but prevent falling off the walkway when crossing. Scriptures talk about using parapets.
