I learned of the Antikythera Mechanism in High School from my chemistry teacher, in one of many after school discussions.
He explained it as a complicated and intricate mechanical computer made by the ancients, boy he was not kidding.
i really didn't gain full appreciation for what it may have been like to build the Antikythera Mechanism until i watched Clickspring videos on the device.
he has some modern tooling, but makes most of the parts by hand and mind- creating the tools in some instances to make the part.
i find his work and attention to detail amazing, maybe you will too
this first video is the introduction
