  • This is Antikythera Mechanism. We don't know anything about where and how it was built. But we know for a fact that the Antikythera Mechanism is a complex assembly of gears, dials, and pointers, and despite its age, it is an incredibly advanced device used to predict the movements of celestial bodies and eclipses with perfect accuracy. This ancient computer could track planetary positions; something like this complex was not supposed to exist 2,100 years ago. But it wasn't until the 21st century, with the help of advanced technology and a lot of efforts from experts in different fields of science, that the true creators and real purpose of this ancient computer began to emerge. Were they skilled craftsmen, ingenious inventors, or perhaps even divine beings? In today's video, we will delve into the ancient history of this Incredible Machine and who were the masterminds behind it.

      nowadasy we comit an error cause we count the sun, so after 4 year you ahve to make a longer year 366.. ancients were much more precise,m they can also see many astrologial event ,ad know exatcly when seasons started..they would know the tides and it would be very usefull to navigate a ship specilaly if you enter in rivers.

    I have placed this observation in many other places. READ CICERO!! He describes this mechanism rather closely. He, an orator & Roman Senator, had zero backdrop to even conjure this. He states clearly that some years earlier [> 300 BC] Scipio Africanus told him about it (size, complexity of [his best words for gears], and how it was held & cranked. Scipio (Punic Wars, Sicily, Archimedes) describes the man so genius that he was unlike the rest of humanity. But his device with cranking predicted the stars & planets. Archimedes was also known for military inventions. Scipio was especially known for an uncanny ability to predict odd tides and used that to breach Hannibal's sea-based castle defenses. Planets/TIDES? Hmmmm???? Cicero was discussing political structures and used this description as an example as to how sometimes simple needs (political stability) might require complex mechanisms to maintain them.

    Since mass-production was not the norm in those days, such devices would have been the products of extremely skilled craftsmen working by hand. The device was very likely expensive at the time and not the sort of thing that would be widely owned. An inherent problem with such hand-crafted objects is that if you lose the craftsmen for any reason (e.g. disease, war, etc.) then you lose the knowledge of how to make them. Plus, the use of relatively soft metals would have meant that they wore out. If there was nobody who knew how to repair them or make new ones, then those that had been made would have been gradually lost over time. It's the same problem with ancient buildings, many of which were dismantled during the Middle Ages because they were difficult to maintain and people decided to use their stone as building material for other structures.

      I agree that "mass-production was not the norm" but it makes sense to have a pattern, and to make 5, 10 or whatever at a time. This is a common practice of makers. I think there could have been 50 maybe 100 of these made.

In keeping with the individual craftsman model that you saw in those times for art and jewelry, these machines would have been handmade and probably very expensive. The *how* of making them would have been a trade secret that was not widely shared. Anything from illness to bad luck could have resulted in a loss of crucial skills. Since these devices were clearly not used by all mariners, astrologers, etc...once the knowledge of making them was lost, no more were ever made. It's far from the only ancient technology that we don't know the exact details of how they were made.

      They were expensive and crafted entirely by hand, so not a lot of them were made. Also, the metals used were softer compared to other metals like iron. This made cutting the metal easier for the craftsman building the delicate gears, but it would be easily damaged. This weakness in the metal also meant that skilled craftsmen would need to repair it quite frequently compared to other items, and if it broke down but there wasn't a craftsman to repair it... well, odds are it would have been melted down into metal to be used for something else. It's unfortunate, but eh, oh well.
