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.

I would love to be able to handle it and study it in detail including the X-Ray and whatever tests they have made of it.

I am not sure if you are agreeing with me or you think it was made much later.

I think the sort of things it was capable of predicting or measuring would have been very valuable around the time of Christ, but charts, books, telescopes, chronometers, etc. would have been used by the 19th century.
