Watermill

In today's "Speak if it's Greek" we will talk about the Water Mill.

Water Mill is a mill that uses moving waters as its power source. Ok, you know what is it.
So, is it possible that the Greek people invented the Watermill? Listen to the story and decide.

Watermill was built for grinding the grain into flour, moved by a water wheel or water turbine situated along the rivers. In some countries like the ones in the Middle East or Southeast Asia the water wheels were used for lifting water. It is probably the oldest machine moved by water and it consists of  a large water wheel with a diameter of 20 m, to which are attached  wood or clay buckets - with the rotation of the wheel, buckets maintain the water up.
Such wheels nowadays, for example, draw water from the Asi (or Orontes) River in Syria, pouring it into the aqueducts, which carry out the water into the fields. It is also used in another countries of the Middle East like in Herzegovina, where it was introduced by the Turks. In Vietnam they use a circle with a diameter of 10-15 m, made entirely of bamboo.

Many research reports say that the first mention of the water wheel came from Asia. But is this the truth? What do you think, could the Watermill be from the Middle East or rather from Greece? If you want to know, check the solution!
