Smith College Museum of Ancient Inventions website is a good place to spend some time on the history of ancient objects to increase knowledge. Some of the items are really interesting like the Aztec Calendar Wheels as you see in the following photo.
If you have ever played Age of Empires (who did not), maybe trebuchets were also one of your favorites. Yeah, they are destructive and entertaining as well. Now, you can buy an exact scale copy of trebuchet which was used against Scotts during a siege of Stirling Castle in 1304. Edward Longshanks is the king behind the idea. Here is the Stirling Warwolf Trebuchet.

In Amazon you can find many books about how to construct them and even kits from desktop toys to full scaled machines.
