We publish our audit record because accuracy claims should be checkable. Every entry on this site runs through an automated fact-audit pipeline (accuracy audit → source-grounded repair → visual QA); this page is generated from that pipeline's own report, not written by hand.

Aqueduct (bridge) — The entry claims the earliest known aqueducts are 'not the Minoans', but the Minoans did build early aqueducts at Knossos around 2000–1900 BCE, making this statement factually incorrect.
Aqueduct (bridge) — The DID YOU KNOW section states 'The Minoans likely used aqueducts around 2000 BCE', which contradicts the entry's earlier claim that the earliest known aqueducts are 'not the Minoans', creating an internal factual inconsistency.
Archimedes' screw — The entry describes the Archimedes screw as having an outer cylinder and an inner cylinder with helical blades, but the standard historical description is a single pipe with a helical screw inside, not two concentric cylinders.
Archimedes' screw — The claim that the earliest known mention is from between 250 and 220 BC is not supported by surviving texts; the earliest reliable references are from the 1st century BC (e.g., Vitruvius or Diodorus Siculus).
