ANTIKYTHERA shipwreck yields more SECRETS!

Great news! I wonder what else is hidden in there!

"Obviously there are a lot of artifacts still down there, but we will need to be very careful about our next steps. This ship was not a normal one," Theodoulou says.

How awesome would it be if there was...
That mechanism is one of the wonders of the world... Skills not replicated for another 1000 years!! How? What? Why?

that shipwreck seems to me a Train mechanism

Very interesting OP.

Surprising the mechanism found don't generate that much interest..
Another ancient mystery swept under the carpet..

Exactly.
The "Antikythera Mechanism" is so complex that there must be many 'simpler' models preceding this device in the decades and even centuries before the making of the "Antikythera Mechanism".

Where are they? Suppressed/hidden away or simply destroyed, either by time, ignorant people or archeologists?

Just think of how far humans would be technologically if the libtards didn't keep ruining everything.

Unless it was made by unknown hands and handed down generation after generation?

So basically Suppressed/hidden...

Just think of how off topic your left/right paradigm dribble is!

Yep... But would explain why no other 'simpler' versions or similar were to be made for another 1000 years... A knowledge given and then forgotten!

I think its builder must be Posidonius of Rhodes, the timeline matches. Poseidonius had already built a planetarium according to Cicero and he had formed a school in Rhodes. (and Hipparchus probably died there a few years ago and he is said to have invented the astrolabe).

The Antikythera mechanism is an ancient analog computer designed to calculate astronomical positions. It was recovered in 1900–1901 from the Antikythera wreck, but its significance and complexity were not understood until a century later. Jacques Cousteau visited the wreck in 1978 but, although he found new dating evidence, he did not find any additional remains of the Antikythera mechanism. The construction has been dated to the early 1st century BC. Technological artifacts approaching its complexity and workmanship did not appear again until the 14th century AD, when mechanical astronomical clocks began to be built in Western Europe.

Professor Michael Edmunds of Cardiff University, who led a 2006 study of the mechanism, said:

This device is just extraordinary, the only thing of its kind. The design is beautiful, the astronomy is exactly right. The way the mechanics are designed just makes your jaw drop. Whoever has done this has done it extremely carefully ... in terms of historic and scarcity value, I have to regard this mechanism as being more valuable than the Mona Lisa.

You cant imagine the amound of the ancient scientific knowledge and probably technology was re-discoved in our "modern" times.
Why they hide it or chose to ignore it..
well...

Very Cool!

So sick of this type of people. Is this all your mind ever thinks about???



You have a sickness. Stop watching FOX.

cool

Excellent... Thanks for that.. Will watch later

Yep I think so!

Some further info on the new discovery..

Anyone else have any theories on the Antikythera Mechanisim?

Whelp...

At the end of the day, it's math and gears. It's not TERRIBLY complicated. Intricate? Sure. Out of reach for the time period? Not really.

Frankly, the Piri reis(sp?) maps I find more interesting.

the secret is that they were smarter then
