The Windmill
Grinding flour, using the wind like no other construct ever was able to and still being in use in our today's time: The windmill. But were the Greeks handy enough to be the first to develop this technology?
Solution:
False! The first windmills were invented in Babylon, approximately in the 17th century BC. There are, however notes that say the first instance of a windmill powering a machine was invented in the 1st century AD in Greece, by the Greek engineer Heron of Alexandria.
