Worcester is believed to have been invented by the Greek mathematician Archytas around 4,000 BC. The Greeks used worms in many places. Archimedes (28-2212 BC) invented a water pump using a worm. This machine is called the Archimedean Screw.
The machine inserts a screwdriver into a hole in the pipe. The hose is immersed in a tank, and when the screw is turned from above, the water slowly rises up the hose and flows into the field through a connecting waterway.
