Rusted brass?
Corroded, maybe.

Remarkable. Just remarkable. Love the reconstruction, and the use of the pearl to show phases of the moon!

Did it have a blue screen?
Probably why the ship sank.

I find this astounding.
Of course, there were geniuses back then, even in the Stone Age. But, I'm still astounded.
I know that most humans started and fought wars but in the whole concept I forget about the inventions.

I used to pronounce it ‘anti ca-Thera’. But from now on I’m pronouncing it his English way, antikithera.
Always found that thing pretty interesting. I do love the pearl for the moon idea, too. Sort of poetic in its way :)

I gotta be honest here, that schematic doesn’t look all that complicated. Also once the concept of gears came along, ratios and their usefulness would have popped pretty quickly into more than one mind.

Heron’s automata, also made about 2000 years ago, are also astonishing. He constructed a programmable, automated 10-minute-long puppet show, complete with drums and thunder, among other wonders. He seemed to be on the verge of discovering steam engines. But he had no one to pass the baton to, apparently.
