Secrets of the Antikythera Mechanism: Session 2

[Recorded: May 13, 2015]
In 1900, sponge divers off the coast of the tiny Greek island of Antikythera made an astonishing discovery: the wreck of an ancient Roman ship lay 200 feet beneath the water, its dazzling cargo spread out over the ocean floor. Among the life-size statues and amphorae was an encrusted piece of metal, which after nearly a century of investigation, is finally revealing its secrets. Called the Antikythera Mechanism, study has shown that this improbably preserved object is actually an ancient Greek astronomical computer of a technical sophistication not seen until the clock making traditions of Medieval Europe-1,500 years after the Mechanism is believed to have been made (about 200 BC).Recent advances in computer imaging as well as painstaking scholarship have finally elucidated nearly all details of the Mechanism.
Join us as we dive into the mysterious history of the Antikythera Mechanism, guided by several world experts: Jonathan Knowles, from Autodesk, discusses the use of digital tools to recreate historical objects; Michael Wright, former curator of mechanical engineering at the Science Museum in London, describes the structure and recreation of the Mechanism at University College London and brought a model of the device to the Museum for audience members to explore; professor Nicolaos Alexopoulos presents on the sociology, engineering, and science of ancient Greece; marine archaeologist Brendan Foley describes his 2014 diving expedition to the original Antikythera wreck site; and, finally, Tatjana Dzambazova will discuss her projects at Autodesk for the digital preservation and dissemination of cultural heritage. The host of this event is Museum Trustee Michael Hawley.

What a fascinating subject, really enjoyed that ........ certainly beats watching garbage television of today. These 2 sessions really puts into perspective just how dumb the modern age really is, we tend to think we're a so clever with all our modern innovations, the digital age and all that, but I truly believe that somewhere along the line we have forgotten the important things, or we just choose to ignore them. Thank God not all the sciences are used to create boring and mundane gadgets such as smart phones and tablets, but are used to better understand the past. Now off to read about 'Photogrammetry' ..................... TURK

[@thepickles8833]

I love the man whose made the model so long that he’s openly direct about how problematic the device is. As a glorified legend this mechanism has become, made with some limitations of its time, sure.. it’s extraordinary that such a thing was attempted and constructed then. I’d love to have a miniature replace of his functional model just to look upon and remember how brilliant innovations in design and technology can be lost and found at any time.

[@GOLDVIOLINbowofdeath]

When I was in architecture school my first year design teacher said “craftsmanship equals education”. My school was really big on model making in addition to drafting and perspective drawing. I loved model making and was a perfectionist. Nowadays I’m an inventor and I make my own prototypes using inexpensive tools. No CNC for me. They say necessity is the mother of invention but I say laziness is the mother of invention. if you have to build your invention prototype yourself without CNC instead of draw it in 3-D you will either have to work night and day or you will have to be creative and simplify. If you have access to 3-D modeling tools and 3-D printers you will never learn how to think 3-D in your brain. The brain is a muscle and if you don’t use it it will atrophy. Actually the brain is a bunch of muscles and whichever ones you don’t use will atrophy. Somebody should run a test to see how well old school people can guess the number of marbles in a jar versus kids raised using computers from the get go. You say well who cares who can guess the number of marbles in a jar. It’s nice to have enough instinct to know when someone has the decimal point in the wrong place and off by a factor of 10 or 100 or 1000. Could mean life or death

It’s a good to research each wreck and thereby discover new(or rather older wrecks);with valid stuff aboard which humanity needs to dive research and recover evidences for us to research and look into and analyse. To rediscover our human past. We can only go forward and grow as humanity the more we discover. Also satellite imagery and shapes under the sea.

They all responded that the news had come to late for them to agree to that. Drat! The moral of the story: if you want Swiss watch makers to give their watches for your fleet, well - be fleet!

Deductions about the history, in Scientific Analysis, are the general consequence.

Having done photogrammetry myself, I’m in complete shock of their results with the submersible.

[@ottavva]

I have read with great care and extreme enthusiasm anything that came into my hands regarding the Antykithera Mechanism and two sets of questions arise which, deliberately or not, all these fine, educated scholars seem to have so elegantly go around like the proverbial HOT POTATOES What had PROPELLED the contraption? Has there been a mechanical or even an electric (''Baghdad battery type'') source of energy? (I can imagine a tiny DURACELL energizer bunny sitting inside this contraption, the bunny of course having perished in the shipwreck) .. alright, let us not our wings grow too large, I will not mention (actually, I just have!!) an atomic source ?? The second group of untouched questions is the presumed time the contraption actually stopped functioning due to both the MECHANICAL STRESS (storm and sinking) and the CHEMICAL REACTION (the salty sea water) of the catastrophe ... neither article/video deals with IN WHAT POSITIONS THE DIALS/GEARS WERE FOUND TO HAVE STOPPED ... remember the infamous Hiroshima watch (saw a replica at a museum)

[@ottavva]

@Scott Menard ?

[@bitsnpieces11]

The power source was applied through a knob on the side and was supplied probably by perhaps the most efficient source of power in the universe, muscles.

[@nemo1716]

I don't think they danced around these questions at all, they carefully avoided over-speculation to the point of highlighting when speculation fueled a result. With your two questions, there is currently room for ONLY speculation and no data or evidence to found it on. The power source is a good question and one I ask myself, because while the simplest answer is the hand-crank, are you expected to turn it continuously by hand for 500 years? I don't think so, but there is nothing to found any alternative theories on as of yet. Now is the position at which the gears were found resting important? Very much so. But can you determine whether the device was synchronized prior to sinking, that it wasn't in a nuetral state and then altered by the turbelence of the sea? No. So any conclusions drawn from the astronomical position it was found in would be heresay.

[@nvoid2597]

Can't they use LIDAR on the site?

[@klauswittrupjensen]

Can anyone guide me to information about how the bronze sheet stock was produced at that time? Was it cast and and hot rolled with bronze or stone rollers? I can only find information about the casting process.

[@davidelliott5843]

Copper was used from 1760 to sheath ship’s bottoms. They could have been hand Beeston but it’s likely the Greeks used similar methods to make bronze sheets. ‘Copper and other Sheathing in the Royal Navy', John M Bingeman, J P Bethel, P Goodwin & A T Mack, Int. J. Naut. Arch. (2000) 29, 2: pp218-229).

[@bitsnpieces11]

Simply: melt the bronze/brass and pour onto a flat surface, say stone, then cool. Afterward use a hammer to pound on it to make it flatter with occasional heating to anneal the work hardening until you get a sheet of the thickness you wanted. They had been working gold, silver and copper that way for a WHOLE LOT of years. They had iron to make hammers and anvils for some time then.

Why do we assume than ancient romans or Greeks with the ability to build ships that large and navigate the oceans were not able or willing to collect what would have been ancient artefact's of their time themselves? By doing so we are also making assumptions that the people of that time didn't have the common-sense to plan ahead by building heavy objects in close proximity to the destination those objects were intended to be. Making such assumptions of sophisticated complex civilisations of the past seems ludicrous from my perspective. If we are interested in archaeology and ancient ruins and collecting ancient artefact's from around the world, are we not assuming that we are the only civilisation through history who found a value in doing such thing?? Making such assumptions sounds more so like we are blinded by our ego.

Well whether you like it or not the mechanism was created by a greek inventor ( archimedes or one of his students), had greek wording on it, based on greek astronomic knowledge, on a greek ship, near a greek island. Syracuse was a greek colony as most of southern italy. And the last speaker of part 1 did not blame Rome in general. He mentioned historical facts about how the spread of christianity and the persecution of everything pagan ( ethnic hellenic ) as blasphemus led to the destruction of tons of gathered knowledge by ancient greeks.

Read stories of artefacts literally being dumped overboard into the oceans because of skulls and skeletons not 'fitting in' to the then current (I think it was the 1930s or 40s?) worldview of humanity's age, evolution, and origins. Large, redheaded skeletons from Peru (I think, somewhere in the Mid & South Americas?) were 'lost'. Actually thrown away in reality Apparently so. There is evidence of these finds in the papers of the day, stating the Smithsonian exported them, from there they've disappeared. As well as 'giants' remains from an island in the Mediterranean (Malta? Can't recall). Also some Mediterranean North African countries too. And not just remains either but also stone tablets, carvings and heads. Anyway, I'm not here to piss on their chips on this video! =o) Just having a grumble is all! =oP

You don’t have to go back that far to find museum curator’s egos affecting what the museum purchases or displays or at least in the basement to be pilfered. The deYoung Museum in San Francisco, named after the Victorian era owner of a newspaper, didn’t have a single piece of Victorian furniture except for a lousy ugly bedroom set of no important maker that belong to the deYoungs, because the curator, Parker, hated Victorian. Important custom San Francisco pieces of Victorian furniture belong to very important San Francisco pioneers were purchased at auction by other museums like the LA County Museum instead because Parker hated Victorian. The LA County Museum even illegally told the deYoung they would not bid on it if they wanted it but the deYoung museum declined. When they recently built a new G Young museum and they cleaned out their basement they sought off sold off all sorts of important Victorian pieces. I recall one Remington typewriter that looked like it was from 1865 sold for over $20,000 at auction. The carriage went in the opposite direction as you typed from the current standard.

Kalevala is translated in English, if You are interested to read it. en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sampo "On one side the flour is grinding,On another salt is making,On a third is money forging,And the lid is many-colored.Well the Sampo grinds when finished,To and fro the lid in rocking,Grinds one measure at the day-break,Grinds a measure fit for eating,Grinds a second for the market,Grinds a third one for the store-house."

Sampo was NOT destroyed, as it's written in the link. It broke, most of it was sunken, but Louhi managed to get the lid, the cover. When stealing back the Sampo, they travelled with a ship. Louhi finds out, that Sampo has been stolen, and follows the ship. Fight happens on the sea.

Why does the comment section of this video appear to be populated by nutters?

[@nemo1716]

Seriously, I've never left so many replies on a single video but the state of these commenters is just appalling. We have proselytizers, nationalists, flat-earthers, science dissenters, and legitimately unintelligible people all in one place fighting against ground-breaking discovery.....and I just don't get it. I truly believe critical thinkers are the most marginalized group of people today, and that's harrowing.

uotation Explorer - 'O' They are ill discoverers that think there is no land, when they can see nothing but sea. - Sir Francis Bacon If I could just capture each memory in a bottle the maybe you people would understand how much I've suffered, how much I've been through, but most importantly how far I have come. - Tommy Tran God wants to lead you to places you cannot get to without Him, and He does that by the power of His Spirit. He can bring you into the realm of the miraculous-not as a show, but as a demonstration of His love

I feel sorry for people like her that don’t appreciate 2D animation. I prefer it over 3D animation. I guess some people can only appreciate 3-D sculpture instead of relief sculpture. I like both, But obviously 2D sculpture requires more artistic talent.

censoring the origin of Persian artifacts & selling as a Greacks is funy & for uneducated peoples

[@GOLDVIOLINbowofdeath]

She seems to be unaware of the order of her slide presentation. If white male Michael Wright had done that there would be countless negative comments pointing it out but all you cowards are scared to say anything about this woman’s shortcomings. She can take it. you’re insulting her by acting like she can’t take criticism because she’s a woman.
