Ah yes, I remember that thing. There were a LOT of amazing inventions back then.

In fact, the Egyptians invented the first steam engine in the first century AD!

Clockwork wouldnt be reinvented for more than 1000 year when the Swiss finally got that shit down. Never heard of an Egyptian steam engine but I know the Romans had projectiles powered by air pressure.

Don't be selfish, preserve this world for the next generations.

I'll never long for what might have been
Regret won't waste my life again
I won't look back I'll fight to remain
