Antikythera Mechanism build

[jmarkwolf]

Maybe you guys already know about this but there is a multi-episode Youtube series on a guy recreating the Antikythera Mechanism (2000 year old computer) from scratch. His fabricating skills are excelsior.

Check it out.

Be prepared to be amazed.

Fabulous, just fabulous.

Our ancestors with primitive tools worked miracles! We, now, with very advanced tools make so many mistakes!!!
Videos like this make me feel so incapable...

Binged watched the first 6 episodes. Fascinating.

Been watching since he started, patiently waiting for each new episode.
Have you watched his file making video?
A master craftsman at work with superb video editing and voice over. No wasted small talk and padding like a lot of youtube productions.
Worth every second of watching.

Nice work indeed!
An absolute must if you want to take your slave galley for a cruise around the Greek islands.
