Description
|
|
|
|
For the people of ancient societies, war was an almost daily reality, and due to the constant threat of death, machines designed to kill one’s enemies evolved to ever more sophisticated heights. This DVD journeys into the past to investigate some of history’s most notorious death machines—and put their legendary prowess to the test. Here are a flying guillotine, a bull-shaped human oven, and an apocalyptic skyscraper that had the potential to extinguish hundreds of lives in minutes. As the program demonstrates, the mere threat of pain and death was often as effective a weapon as the weapon itself.
