Archimedes' "death" ray was a device purported to have been used to burn attacking Roman ships during the Siege of Syracuse (c. 214–212 BC). The 2nd century AD author Lucian wrote that during the Siege of Syracuse, Archimedes destroyed enemy ships with fire. Centuries later, Anthemius of Tralles mentions burning-glasses as Archimedes' weapon. The weapon has been the subject of ongoing debate about its credibility since the Renaissance. This photograph, however, proves it's existence.

Description

Photograpghy unearthed from the depths of the historical record.

With the development of AI-assisted photography, we are now able to recreate historical events and characters using AI tools as our “time machine.” This collection has been created to interpret history through the lens of my imagination.

As Napoleon once said, “History is a set of lies, agreed upon.” Welcome to the past.
