      I think both the Greek one and this one are more accurately turbines, not engines right? Dunno how big of a difference that makes though.

          That’s true. Although there’s no piston jet engine to confuse it with whereas there is a steam engine and steam turbine that need distinguishing between.

        Because the focal point of this is the stream power, not the döners. So, having come up with steam power 2000 years before the Turks is more relevant than migration patterns and cuisine.
