We do not know exactly. The screw may already have existed around 700 BC in Mesopotamia during the reign of King Sennacherib. Many credit the Greek Archytas of Tarentum with its invention around 400 BC; it was then mainly used for wine and olive presses. Archimedes was the first to adapt and use the screw principle for "industrial" purposes.
