The first and oldest physical evidence of windmills we have discovered so far was found in Greece, used by the Ancient Greeks in the 1st century AD.
The oldest known evidence of windmills in literature (but no physical evidence) was mentioned in an Ancient Babylonian book detailing the use of irrigation and wind power for farming, dating back to the 17th century BC.

What was invented in the 1600's?
Computer history - 1600's YearEvent1600William Gilbert coins the term electricity from the Greek word elecktra.1617John Napier introduced a system called "Napiers Bones," made from horn, bone or ivory the device allowed the capability of multiplying by adding numbers and dividing by subtracting.1621The circular slide rule is invented by William Oughtred.1623Blaise Pascal is born June 19, 1623.1623The first known workable mechanical calculating machine is invented by Germanys Wilhelm Schickard. The machine is based on the idea of Napier's Bones, mentioned earlier.1632William Oughtred of Cambridge combines two Gunter rules to make a device that resembles today's slide rule.1642Frances Blaise Pascal invents a machine, called the Pascaline, that can add, subtract, and carry between digits.1662Blaise Pascal passes away August 19, 1662.1671Gottfried Leibniz introduces the Step Reckoner, a device that can multiply, divide, and evaluate square roots.1679Gottfried Leibniz demonstrates binary arithmetic, a discovery that shows every number can be represented by 0 and 1 only.
What is a device used in the medieval times to behead people?
The torture device for gossips was called a brank, the branks, or a scold's bridle. It is first described in the year 1567, and so is probably not medieval, but a Renaissance invention. There is a link below to an article on the brank or scold's bridle.
