This is a very nice facsimile of the real antikythera computer. It would have been amazing to see the original one.

where can you buy a working model

It does not make sense if someone / person has to keep roating that knob - it had to be automatic with a stead pace no stops - otherwise image 1 person standing with this device rotating that knob day and night... doesn't make sense.

God Dropped his Pocket Watch With Calendar in the Sea & this Guy got a hold of it & Got it Running

Is this person selling copies of it or plans?

Fancy calendar in ancient time

2 machines? Identical? Doesn't one need 9 planets? Space time continuam, we have 9 planets. Not 5, the observation of the planets 2000yrs ago. Were only 5? Because we have the ability to see all 9 with our technology. What if.. the celestial phenomenon was to predict time, future time? No!... can't be that. Is it? Time travel? Like it suggests in the new indiana Jones film? Can the 2nd piece be found? As in. Not the 2 already known

old as hell but I'm 100% positive we had slightly better resolution than freakin' 240p in 2009 xD

great work!

Does anyone have a link to the original documentary prior to usual worthless American Cnuts usurping, yet again, the agenda. Please, I can't find it anywhere. Much appreciated if you have it.

I don't personally think that has the criteria to be said a computer, but it is fascinating and advanced

You'd think someone in Greece would have done this But I suppose that sums up the difference between ancient and modern Greeks

its all very well to say wow this man made it work and has figured it out, but where did he get the knowledge of all the different parts that were within the antikythera, its working on his design and well done to him but is it the exact same as the real one? I not convinced, just putting that out there.

Wow, very cool!

The only kind of uk bloke worth listening to

This device comes from an original one created by Archimedes 2200 years ago.

I want a replica of this. It’s a great gift and honor to our human history. And it’s a good science gift as well

Ancient Greeks made the wondrous mechanism... Contemporary us fail to record and show in a proper quality. Ah...

Can it also predict the monthly menstrual cyclus of Greek woman?

'early knowledge'

But I thought it's supposed to be a computer. Thays nit a computer.

I understand that Archimedes´s Antikythera mechanism could also calculate the precession of the perihelion of Mercury. Leverrier´s discovery of Neptune in 1846 could not explain an extra 43 seconds per century (!) until Einstein´s general relativity of 1915. It is quite staggering that Archimedes had observed and his instrument could calculate this precession over two thousand years ago. Did it also calculate the extra 43"?

Outstanding work my good man, bravo.

Where can a model of this, well made, be purchased ? Absolutely amazing fellow, mechanism, and story, as improbable as it all is - to lead us to this phenomenon of human ability, and so far in the past ! Stunning.

was this made on a toaster

We are all in a loop😌

If your model is set upon a 365 day year, it is not an accurate reproduction.

Wow! Thanks so much for reconstructing this mechanical astronomical marvel of ancient technology! I know it took a lot of time and attention to detail to get it right.

Many speculate that what was contained in the "Library of Alexandria" were machines such as this one and many other "blueprints" as this one and who knows what other incredible things were documented in that library...

The most intriguing consideration that has yet to be unveiled if ever is how was it made? What tools or other devices or machines were utilized to make such an assembly with a specific purpose... I would love for someone to write a "what if" back story for this machine..!

Wonderful 👏

More likely something they stole out of Egypt since they were all over they place learning tech.

AMAZING! Beautiful! Thanks for sharing!

Is this actually a reconstruction or is this just a hypothesized guess at it? Is this a 100% reconstruction authentic? Can anybody answer me cuz I'm wondering if it's just this guy's thought and if he used lasers to make it or if he made it by hand like they would have and how would they have

How would you know how much to turn the knob without making errors over Lind periods of time? Just turn up to a line per day? I didn’t see lines for all the functions and some lines would be thicker than others. Would the gears make the correction? Would you just focus on meeting the measurement line for one function on one dial? How do you actually use it for accurate information on all the hands?

I Hypothesize that it could be a medical device used by midwives to help predict when babies are born. Perhaps it was used to plan a family... They found connections to Venus... Just throwing it out there.

Michael Wright is a genius. He figured out how to reconstruct the Antikythera mechanism. Wow.

I believe Mr Wright deserves a knighthood . Is he going to get one ? Not bloody likely . There are of course more deserving politicians , businessmen , civil servants and political donors who deserve society's tremendous gratitude . He devoted his life to this marvellous project and will , I'm sure , be remembered and recognised for centuries .

Is he still alive ?

Michael Wright is the sort of man museums are getting rid of. Replaced by woke, curators with an agenda and no knowledge, passion or historical skill base.

To have replicated this in 2008 without a advanced computer, 3d printing machine or laser cutter makes this guy seem closer to being a Greek than any of us could ever be.

Great video Too bad the quality is so poor where detailed pictures would be appreciated. Why no have a more detailed version in line?

Enoch Calendar.

Wow that is Great !

What i find strange is that such high mastership in metal didn’t leave any traces behind in architecture, art or everyday appliances etc. Just this one amazing object . I feel that things are a lot stranger than what we learn in school.

Looks like they used ancient digital Greek cameras to record this video :-(

He should have used plastic so we could see the inside gears.
