FU'CKING AWESOME MAN. I've read the wiki article for this, and this is amazing. Greek people were such geniuses.
Did they use computers to 'lift' the machine apart, or did they do that with wires and a lot of photos? I would assume the former, but it looks some what shacky so I am not sure...
Pretty cool device, nonetheless. inb4 ancientalien fanatics.

IT was Atlantis that bult it. Duh. That's why they found it UNDER WATER. /ohsnap~ Pretty amazing find. Sounds like we need to think harder about cool stuff if the greeks came up with an accurate super solar calendar for predicting eclipses in 100BC
