Hi everyone,
A few weeks ago I stood in the museum in Athens looking
reverently at the actual corroded lump of bronze now known as the Antikythera
mechanism and the various reconstructions of what it is thought to have been.
My immediate thought was HOW could its secrets have been revealed in sufficient
detail to reproduce it with so much certainty. Having looked at

I feel that I now know the answers and can believe in the outcome. In
particular the suggestion/conclusion as to who actually designed it makes a lot
of sense.
The music?, ear-blasting commercials and faulty lip-sync are a small price to
pay.
