That device was a remarkable find.

I still find it hard to believe how advanced it was. Also the quality of the metal work was beyond what anyone thought possible.

I say that mechanism was dropped onto the wreck site centuries later off a different ship. Sunken Civ disagreed

Maybe Doctor Who made it while he was on a holiday and figured it would be a source of entertainment in later centuries as people tried to figure it out.

That device was a remarkable find.

I saw it in the National Museum in Athens and the exposed metal parts struck me as being the product of at 19th century machine shop.
