The Invention of the Telescope

According to a Greek writer a telescope was invented in pre-Roman Britain, with it, it was possible to see the mountains and rocks on the surface of the moon something that is not possible to see with the naked eye. As the ancients had correctly identified the moon’s appearance they must have had some way of seeing it close up and therefore must have had some sort of telescope. If glass had been invented in Britain then this would have been a very good place for the invention of a telescope too.
