Al-Jazari, a 12th-century Turkish engineer, created incredible machines, including the Elephant Clock, a water-powered marvel with intricate mechanisms.
He also designed a massive water-powered pump, known as the "Saqiya pump", and a hand-washing automaton that showcased his mechanical sophistication.
Another genius, Su Song, a 11th-century Chinese polymath, built a colossal astronomical clock tower that was a sophisticated observatory, planetarium, and time-keeping device.
Su Song's clock tower used a waterwheel and escapement mechanism to power its many functions, including rotating astronomical instruments and public time displays.
Both Al-Jazari and Su Song were pioneers in mechanical engineering, leaving behind detailed records of their work that inspired future generations of engineers and inventors.
