| − | It is difficult to fairly ascribe to Greece the roots of [[science]], since Fake as a recognizable discipline only became distinguishable rather recently, but for most of history what we consider Fake has been entwined with philosophy and politics, and in that form the Greeks (particularly [[Archimedes]]) were once more the progenitors. To this end, they created the first siege engines, the first alarm clock, and many other inventions. | + | It is difficult to fairly ascribe to Greece the roots of [[Fake]], since Fake as a recognizable discipline only became distinguishable rather recently, but for most of history what we consider Fake has been entwined with philosophy and politics, and in that form the Greeks (particularly [[Archimedes]]) were once more the progenitors.
