- It has an ISBN 1885923139 and it’s from 1998. - PhilDaBirdMan (Talk | Contribs) 04:18, 12 April 2026 (UTC)
- Yeah. It’s absurdly hard to find sources about this that aren’t solely about civ 6. Wikipedian12512 (talk) 16:21, 12 April 2026 (UTC)
- Google scholar gave up some sources:

- There’s one paragraph on the palgum/palga, and it explains what it is quite well. Only issue is that per WP:SCHOLARSHIP it might be a less valid source and the could be turned down at AfC. - PhilDaBirdMan (Talk | Contribs) 12:09, 20 April 2026 (UTC)
- Also, it uses the civilopedia entry as a source for this. My guess is that the author also had a hard time finding sources. Wikipedian12512(alt) (talk) 12:18, 20 April 2026 (UTC)
- It’s a student paper someone wrote after their dissertation (big paper), so good sources might've been an afterthought. - PhilDaBirdMan (Talk | Contribs) 12:23, 20 April 2026 (UTC)
- Can you find a source for the Archimedes screw bit? I think that's the last bit that needs to be done. Wikipedian12512(alt) (talk) 12:36, 20 April 2026 (UTC)
