I looked up 'flywheel' on dictionary.com and the first entry lists it as a 1775-85 so adding it in the 2500 years ago plus era is a bit dubious... have an earlier source I'll except that. Though that would help a bit with balance. I'm guessing no one sees a real problem with the basics of my design in flubtech, if improvements are being suggested.
The other problem is that we have to answer the question of 'Why?' Why would an ancient civilization build a walker mecha? Its an engineering nightmare... coolness isn't enough of a driving force, on its own anyway.
The seige machine I described above has a purpose and at least a chance of being functional. The Greeks have walls to deal with and liked siege machines... like towers with ramps on wheels.
Another useful piece of flubtech is one based on the sun collecting crystal that sat a top the great pyramid. Apparently it collected the power of the sun for some reason or another. Without going into electronics they could have used the collected heat/light or whatever to heat the water instead of torch/fire pits and if they can break the connection and have an off mode. Trade between the Egyptians and Greeks is recorded at least 3500 years ago.
