I’d like to see the tools they used to make it.
That is amazing! Pretty cool ashtray you got there!
Have they tried plugging it in?
this is a well known artifact.
civilization and knowledge has been around for much longer than most of us think.
The first thing conquerors do is destroy history and knowledge.
from the libraries of Alexandria and Atlantis to the wealth of knowledge and texts of the Aztek. and those are just the A’s
Someone once said “There is nothing new under the Sun”
another said “Human nature never changes”
A lot of the time I wonder if this is really true.
Blue screen of death ........
Alien inspired technology.....
So what do we know about the mechanism?
The recent Indiana Jones movie referred to it as the "Dial of Destiny"
And what has the deciphering of the texts added?
The Hebrew title is a direct translation.
Indiana Jones and the Dial of Destiny:
אינדיאנה ג'ונס וחוגת הגורל
The representative image on the link for the dial is 0-9 (ten), and contains 25 letters:
1. Compare "dial" (chuga) to chag (holiday n. circle v.). (They go around and around.)
2. "Of destiny" (hagoral, הגורל) is the lot (See above destiny link. It's all in there.)
Esther 9
24 Because Haman the son of Hammedatha, the Agagite, the enemy of all the Jews, had devised against the Jews to destroy them, and had cast Pur, that is, the lot [הגורל], to consume them, and to destroy them;
25 But when Esther came before the king, he commanded by letters that his wicked device, which he devised against the Jews, should return upon his own head, and that he and his sons should be hanged on the gallows.
26 Wherefore they called these days Purim after the name of Pur. Therefore for all the words of this letter, and of that which they had seen concerning this matter, and which had come unto them,
27 The Jews ordained, and took upon them, and upon their seed, and upon all such as joined themselves unto them, so as it should not fail, that they would keep these two days according to their writing, and according to their appointed time every year;
28 And that these days should be remembered and kept throughout every generation, every family, every province, and every city; and that these days of Purim should not fail from among the Jews, nor the memorial of them perish from their seed.
Ergo, the World’s Oldest Computer, "Chugat haGoral", the Dial of Destiny:
gallows = etz [עץ], "tree":
What is a phone tree?
A phone tree is a system of delivering the same message to a group of people. Traditionally this has been done by networking people in such a way that allows message recipients to become message deliverers. For example, the person initiating the message would call two people, and then those two people would each call two people with every message recipient repeating the process until the entire group is reached. Common problems inherent in this type of system are message recipients who do not answer their phone, thus breaking the chain, and message recipients who do not pass on the message correctly. A far simpler, faster, and more reliable solution is to use an automated phone tree.
I really think George McFly summed it up accurately:
"I'm your density."
Divers have returned to the Antikythera wreck this year, so perhaps the missing parts of the planetary display will turn up. An enticing possibility is that the Antikythera mechanism was on the ship because it was being delivered to a customer.

"Hey kid, whad'ya do, jump ship?"
"What's with the life preserver?"
While this played in the background:
Raised in the woods, so he knew ev'ry tree
Kilt him a bar when he was only three

Esther 4:14 For if thou altogether holdest thy peace at this time, then shall there enlargement and deliverance [הצלה] arise to the Jews from another place; but thou and thy father's house shall be destroyed: and who knoweth whether thou art come to the kingdom for such a time as this?
The concepts, visuals, and sounds add up over time, and then:
The eureka effect (also known as the Aha! moment or eureka moment) refers to the common human experience of suddenly understanding a previously incomprehensible problem or concept.
Sound-wise, from old times expressed as "האסימון נפל", the asimon (telephone token) fell.
Yeah but who might be in actual possession of such a relic? He/She/It could be important. 🛟
