https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/King_Mu_of_Zhou
>In the 3rd century BC text of the Liezi, there is a curious account on automata involving a much earlier encounter between Mu of Zhou and a mechanical engineer known as Yan Shi, an 'artificer'. The latter proudly presented the king with a life-size, human-shaped figure of his mechanical 'handiwork'

no no no.
If that's what OP meant that's what OP shoulda said.
But what OP is attempting to highlight is Jules Verne's contributions to sci-fi

>>23660482
I agree, it's OP's fault. Bloody basterd bitch.

>>23660407
Not everything is a "mythical beast" just because they belong to old folklore and legend. Hephaetus made a bunch of robots, which were refer to as automatons. These were before the concept of war machines like tanks and airfighter even existed. War of the worlds used the understanding of war machines as the foundation for its ideas.
