Archimedes death ray - just came second ! (Score 1)

Sorry folks but I am sorry to inform you that Dr. Wallace's team came second as far as the the proof of Archimedes death ray is concerned. The feasibility of Archimedes feat has already been proved on 6th November 1976 in Skaramangas (near Athens), Greece by J. Sakas a civil engineer. A brief report and a photo of this have been published in the greek version of Encyclopaedia Britannica (article Archimedes, published in 1981, Volume 11, p. 266 see at http://alevantis.com/archimedes.jpg) and a copy of the full works were sent to the editors of the English version of Britannica at the time.

I know this because I was at the time Editor for Science and Technology of the Encyclopaedia Papyros-Larousse-Britannica
