Talk:battering ram
Shouldn't the part 'in Europe' be deleted? I'm sure there must be more parts of the world where battering rams were used. India, China and Japan perhaps even? 81.68.255.36 11:20, 27 May 2010 (UTC)

Assyrian battering rams are mentioned[1]. Chinese rams are also mentioned [2]. About Japan, [3] that article mentions helmets with names that translate to 'battering-ram helmet'. I don't speak Japanese, so I can't tell if that name is a loose translation or that the Japanese actually had battering rams and thought some of their helmets looked like them. 81.68.255.36 11:32, 27 May 2010 (UTC)
- I can see some errors in the entry. Go for it, fix the lot. Mglovesfun (talk) 12:21, 27 May 2010 (UTC)
Well, I'm no expert in siege warfare, especially not siege warfare in the Middle Ages. For all I know, some civilizations continued to use battering rams (catapults, siege towers and whatnot) when gunpowder was known to them. I will try to put something down of which I'm sure you'll have to fix a bit because I'm not that good with English. 81.68.255.36 16:32, 30 May 2010 (UTC)
