A digital model has revealed a complex planetarium on the ancient device's face. “Unless it's from outer space, we have to find a way in which the Greeks could have made it,” researchers say.

in a 2006 study also led by Freeth, revealed scores of never-before-seen inscriptions that helpfully amount to a user’s guide to the mechanism...

And scholars said ancient man were dumb hunter’s and gatherers and spoke using grunts and groans.
Obviously they were smarter than a lot of people alive today.

“..Obviously, they were smarter than a lot of people alive today....”

Without a doubt, but then again, that probably wouldn’t take much from what we’re seeing coming out of “professors” and “universities” today.

“Obviously they were smarter than a lot of people alive today.”

Just imagine what the vast majority of the “follow the science” crowd would do. The concept of two gears meshing is way beyond their understanding. After all, Falsie Fauci is a god to them. (Note the small g, wish I could have made it microscopic.)

Although the device was extensively damaged by its 2000 years at the bottom of the Mediterranean, a reconstruction has been put together. It shows a facility with complex machinery as well as a strong interest in the astronomical problem of the motions of the planets.

The ancient Greeks were responsible for such marvels as the catapult and the camera obscura. They invented the astrolabe, a forerunner of the sextant, which aided marine navigation by (among other things) measuring the angle between the horizon and the sun or other celestial bodies. By the end of the first century BCE, they had even invented the odometer, which measured the distance a cart or carriage traveled. So when it comes to engineering, they were no slouches. When it comes to preserving their most advanced inventions for posterity…well, that’s another story. At the beginning of the 20th century, historians were shocked to learn that Greek thinkers had built a rather sophisticated analog computer in the neighborhood of 82 BCE and then, astonishingly, left no record of its existence.

If it doesn’t do cat pictures and porn it isn’t an advanced computational mechanism.

They thought the earth was at the center of the universe!

But then, some here still do!

Another instance of white supremacy. Cancel Antikythera.

“We need” to read up on the Nephilim. They are probably the reason there are grid patterns found in the many ‘stone hing’ type structures found all over the world and aligned with each other and with Giza Plateau structures. Beings from the Middle East traveled the entire globe long before Columbus, etc. leaving inscription upon stones. For deeper information on the topic, see L A Marzulli’s series title “in Search of The Nephilim.

An that was only one half of the ship.

Meanwhile, because the explanations are necessarily consensus thinking, no one dares to examine the possibility that the knowledge came from the Library of Alexandria via a preexisting now vanished civilization destroyed during the North American comet strikes in 10800BC and the ushering in of the Younger Dryas Age and its floods.

The Ancient Greeks knew the sun was the center of the solar system - but these ‘scientists’ insist the the model to use is the European Dark Age model with Earth as the center of the solar system.

So take their conclusions with a grain or two of salt.

One of the paper writers has a YouTube Channel called "Clickspring" and he has been recreating the Antikythera Mechanism using period-correct methods.

This 10 minute video explains his research and resulting discoveries:
