Archimedes was a Greek inventor from Syracuse who was famous for his invention of the lever and the screw, a device that would raise from one level to another. He came up with the theory of buoyancy, as in water. He was also a brilliant mathematician who came up with many theorems. He also invented weapons that repelled a Roman attack for a good long time. Did you know that Archimedes was also killed by a soldier? He also was born in Egypt.
