Indiana Jones is going to want that thingie back.
Otherwise the Nazis may get it and then they will be able to travel back in time to kill Hitler.
Yeah, I don’t understand that last part either.

You would think that something requiring so many intricate steps to make would not be a one off...
I wonder why more of them have not been found.

One has to wonder why the Antikythera Mechanism was not produced in numbers if it was genuinely useful. Was it commissioned as a one-of for a special client? Was it a prototype that was lost before its value could be fully assessed? Was the time and effort to produce it so great that it was essentially unaffordable? Or maybe it lacked genuine practical value.

The ANTIKYTHERA MECHANISM is truly a marvel and its complexity makes me wonder if its creation may have been inspired by extraterrestrials....

It seems proof that the human mind has not changed much. The ancients were as smart as those alive, today. The available technology is almost all of the difference.
It also appears that the ancients solved many problems in ways we no longer understand. With limited technology, they came up with many ingenious solutions.
