    This device changed my entire views on the ancient world when I found an article about it being scanned. This confirmed my thoughts that people of the past were just as intelligent as we are today.

      I've been watching a channel about a guy recreating the Antikythera & it's honestly staggering the amount of capabilities that is has. I can only imagine constructing it back then - it might take an entire lifetime to perfect that device. Utterly incredible.

      ​@@lukecaverns I know exactly what video you are speaking about. I've watched that reconstruction a few times and the interview with the clockmaker who helped figure out the gear specifications. Honestly breath taking.

      you can also try reading some ancient literature, like Illiad or Odyssey and you'll see that people have not changed. They think the same way, act the same way, it is just the surrounding that is changing.

      People were both intelligent and inept, just like today. Knowledge is power. Ignorance (not knowing) is vast. Leaders encourage followers to seek knowledge. They don’t enslave them. So who and how were these great civilizations actually constructed. Where are the factories making the tiles, timber, bricks, blocks, bronze statues, etc?

    I’ve been to the museum in Athens where this item is on display. It is practically hidden inside the museum. I had to basically go on a scavenger hunt to find it. I find it odd it’s not more celebrated especially by the Greeks!

    Why people are unaware of this is beyond. SUPER fascinating device!! Another fab vid Luke!

    • @lukecaverns
      @lukecaverns  8 месяцев назад +3

      It’s honestly mind blowing isn’t it? The fact that it was not only far ahead of its time in 150 BC, it was STILL ahead of its time when it was discovered in the early 1900’s.
      Absolutely insane.

    • @BooBoo-w4h
      @BooBoo-w4h 2 месяца назад

      ​@@lukecavernshave a look at the channel clickspring.
      He is studying the device and rebuilding one with tradition tools of the time, hand building the tools to hand build the device as best as the scans & literature can provide. It is still an ongoing series. Might be interesting for you.
      Just seen you talk with Gary( Nerdrotic)👍

    There is a more concrete reason the device is associated with Archimedes. There are references to a now lost text by Archimedes detailing the cobstruction of astronomical calculators.
    Cicero, for one, mentions such a device and attribites it to Archimedes.

    Awesome video Luke! I love this artifact, shows human ingenuity at its best! Likely a small team of scientists, engineers and artisans worked together in Greece to produce such wonders.

    I'm conflicted as this item so closely resembles the LDS "Myth" of the Liahona. Also, It could have been HERON; a name I didn't hear on your list of inventors.

    Good work, my friend! It’s interesting that the same functions of the Antikythera (the cycles it tracked) essentially work like the Mayan calendrical system, sans the Metonic cycle.

  • @evanflagg8386
    @evanflagg8386 8 месяцев назад

    Just a fun idea I had, but is is plausible that Archimedes escaped with his most prized possession and out of a cruel twist of fate, the ship he escaped on never made it to port?

    The gears, & ratios of this Complex, Universal, Mechanism, could actually be from a earlier version. Since there is no other comparable versions, then chances are; (like the light bulb): it probably just was discovered.

  • @storeheier93
    @storeheier93 8 месяцев назад +1

    but when was it made? we know when it sank, but not when it was made. was it a legacy device or technology? was it one of a kind? its such an anomaly and it ignites the imagination

    It's creation is estimated at 3 to 4 centuries BC. So it's also possible the Greeks brought the knowledge back from their frequent learning trips to Egypt.

    I like your open mind about these things. You don't downplay the significance of it, nor praise it as some super mega high tech atlantian lost relic. It's a strange piece that should be studied and we may never know it's true origins or purpose

    I spent decades in the United States developing three libraries. All three destroyed by people who joyfully destroyed my housing and treat people as objects of sex abuse. My first and best library donated to a Roman Catholic Monastery destroyed identified as a "bribe". Ten years later my second library destroyed with the destruction of my employment and housing possibly based in government harassment. Again ten years later my third library destroyed by women of Organized Crime in Connecticut. The destruction of knowledge and value is timeless.

    Ooo I'm super keen to watch this, especially after watching the new Indiana Jones. Hey Luke, thanks for the recommendation of the Bob Brier Ancient Egypt series you mentioned on Brothers of the Serpent.
    I'm listening to it on Audible now, very interesting. I owe you a donation, what's the best way for 1 off donations?
    Love your work, keep it up. Say hi to Anyextee from Edfu next time you see him, that guy is awesome.
