That's certainly interesting. I wonder how close to the original he really is?

This is very cool. I gave it a star. It wouldn't help you locate the planets much because it's 2d but I guess it all helped in creating calendars and stuff. Maybe it was a present to somebody? Anyway that is very interesting.

edit: I would imagine his is better than the original and I think he had to have taken some liberties with putting it back together. But if he spent that much time on it I'd say he made every effort to get it right. He's using common sense and it all comes together well.

I saw a special on this awhile back. When did he do this? I was under the impression this was completed a long while back.

It's a very cool mechanism though, I'll have to see if I can dig up that show I saw on it.

Wow amazing device for the time period.

It is a shame that so many inventions and advancements were lost, forgotten about and purposefully discarded. Archimedes works springs to mind.

The world may have been a very different place now if some of these workings were 'helped along' a bit earlier. It may have led to utopia, or destruction. No one will ever know.......

Analogue computing, thats all we had for some time.

Used for torpedo targeting at the end of WWII.
Then gyros for the missile gap.

The Greeks had much of the beginnings of electrical science
but didn't think much beyond what the had.

Big surprise though.
Can you name one thing we're NOT being lied to about?

Those Egyptian flying machines looked photoshopped or a modern sculpture. Please provide REPUTABLE sources.

If you all are interested in this matter, try to make a trip to the ancient city/castle/ruins of Petra in Jordan. Much about this city 'establishment' has never been revealed to the public.

I don't really have to, it's all over the internet and there are more than just a couple documentaries on them.

So unless it's some huge conspiracy they are legit.
Do a Google search and you will see that they are fairly well known, it's not like it's one or two sites spreading a photoshopped picture.

Interesting, but people who relate a history from 1945 that
is different are called conspiracy theories or fiction.

Much less telling tales starting before 1900 that spell suppressed
technology.

Say what, we know it all, history and science.

Yeah think again bunky, you don't have to go beyond 50 or
100 years for all of us to be left out in the cold of history and science.

Then there might be a lack of history since 91101.
We are just a bunch of hockey punks being knocked around
in a big Illuminati hockey game.

ED: History and science is being made every day by fakers.

Archeology magazine had a fascinating story about the Antikythera mechanism not quite two years ago. I find it fascinating that the Greeks had this type of technology so many centuries ago that was so far ahead of it's time. The mechanism itself is right out of the computer age. And then it seems as if the human race lost touch with this technology for whatever reason.
