Basically Luscious only observed the inventions he didn't know how they actually worked, but making the almost exact thing with lesser resources(compared to modern time) is the thing that makes him a genius. More or less the fascinating thing was that had it been some other normal people moreover from any other random civilization, they would have had probably termed the healing hot springs, the massager and the toilet as merely some magic, it was the unique thinking of luscious who actually considered them mechanical, and thus replicated the creation to some extent, and moreover the education he might have had got as a citizen of roman empire. Ancient Romans, Greeks, Egyptians, Indians, Chinese and Japanese were truly ahead of their times with their inventions and ways.

He invents brandy (!) a big money maker, teaches modern numbers and digital values for *double entry bookkeeping*, other stuff, eventually manages a resparking of the Roman Republic. What makes it doubly interesting is that it was written just before WW II, when it seemed darkness was indeed falling over the world again.

@_s_99202 жыл бұрын
always important to remember that the pleasant climate in Rome during the era is a major reason it never spread. When Rome spread across more northern and western parts of Europe into much damper temperate climates such as Germanic territories and the British Isles they brought the concrete with them and it required constant upkeep with materials that had to be transported from Rome. This is a major reason why when Rome abandoned Britain, the villas and cities quickly fell to disrepair as the climate was not appropriate for such materials, we had neolithic monuments in England better preserved after thousands of years of exposure than the very hearts of Roman cities like Canterbury. Underfloor heating and large open ornate villas seems great when you have a massive empire and all its wealth and supply lines to maintain and staff the upkeep but once thats cut off such buildings fall to ruins within a generation and the ones that remain are torn down and replaced by less cold and costly buildings. Despite seeming far more simple, Anglo-Saxon huts faired much better in winter and during cold wet months and could be kept warm and repaired using only plentiful local materials. Following Norman rule after 1066 saw the construction of forts and castles make of flint and limestone, local materials suitable for the climate, rather than trying to imitate the withered remains of Roman fortifications across Europe. A good more modern example is how during the height of the British Empire, rich colonial citizens exported hard wood and stone from Britain to arid desert colonies to make colonial buildings in the style of Victorian architecture, whilst technologically better than local cultures - the local style of building was far more suited to the climate and when the British Empire receded the colonial buildings became irreparable and fell to ruins.

There are many Japanese who look like him, even though they are native Japanese. First of all, the roots of the Japanese people can be divided into the Jomon and the Yayoi, the Yayoi being a people with Asian features and the Jomon having a high nose, a thick beard and tanned skin. The modern Japanese are mostly have Yayoi features, but there are also Jomon Japanese like Hiroshi Abe. Actually my Japanese friend has Japanese parents but looks like an Arab.

@Koke Garcia The fact is that European bows at the time were relatively lackluster (bows would receive a lot of innovation in the medieval era), which is why the Romans didn't use them much. A historically accurate test would have been to ask him to use a sling (not a slingshot they are different things) to hit something. Using a sling effectively takes a lot of practice and very few modern people would be able to use one, but Romans would have effectively been training with them since childhood since it's a tool necessary for everyday work (hunting small game and used to defend against wolves when grazing livestock). A sling can also be made with a piece of fabric (paper also works) and two bits of string so you could literally make one on the spot instead of contriving a reason to go to an archery range.
