Obviously NOT of any extraterrestrial influence. Had ETs had an influence, the Earth would not have been the “center” of this device. The mind or minds which created this device must have been a wonder to behold.

But aren’t the Greeks FROM outer space? All the Greeks that I’ve known sure seem like it.

Took them what.... over a 100 years to figure it out.
We don’t give enough credit to those that came before US.

Back then people still thought the earth was the center and everything else orbited around this planet.

I’m referring to the main “scientists” that have been trying to figure out the Antikythera Mechanism.
Chris has been working on it for quite some time.

Among all the marvels of this machine is the fact that HAND CUT teeth (assumption here) meshed so perfectly that the device worked. Think of all the gears that had to engage without jamming.

The Ancient Greeks knew the sun was the center of the solar system Knew is an awfully big claim. A few like Aristarchus of Samos theorized on it. Others rejected it because if the Earth moved around the sun you would be able see the positions of the stars change over the course of the year. You can, but even the nearest changes less than an arcsecond which the Greeks could never have seen. It wasn't discovered until 1838.

“Obviously they were smarter than a lot of people alive today.”
That’s not hard when your present-day competition is people making 6 and 7 figure incomes voting for Biden.
