I am sure the king must have killed the soldier too after knowing what he did.

His purported last words in Greek were "Noli turbare circulos meos!" which more accurately translates into "do not disturb my circles" ("turbare" is the root form for the word "disturb"). We can't say for sure what his last real words were, and it seems that the aforementioned final words of Archimedes were just legend sparked by rumors.

I think it is obvious that he did use calculus which he may or may not have invented. There were a lot of smart guys around before and during his life. Those greeks had a certain way of proving things that would not have included calculus. they tried for what was considered the 'most elegant.' After the fire at Alexandria we are lucky to have anything.

His last words are better translated like "Don't mess with my circles". Awesome video in general (as always). One last thing.... The videos are too short :/
If i may propose a person's biography; Aristotle Onassis, quite interesting life I 'd say

I was just trying to give a simpler yet as close as possible to the "original" last words translation. He actually seems to have said "Μη μου τους κυκλους ταραττε" (Noli meos circulos turbare), but yeah, I too highly doubt this was actually his last words, if there were any at all:)
