The mechanism was recovered by sheer luck during that exploration in 1901 as it was thought to be just a stone and almost thrown back into the sea! Thank you for making this video! Hopefully the Greeks fund more such archeological projects in the future!
Makes you think about how much old tech....is just lost. Destroyed or whatever.
11:15 that bit of shade lol “the ancient Greeks, like many people today, strangely believed…”
Theres actually more documentation that came out about the machine since the YouTuber and watchmaker Clickspring started making a real replica using period accurate tools. He made several videos going over his build. He actually took a multi year long pause in the series to help write a paper on his findings. The synopsis of the new findings can be found online. It basically states that the supposition of the 365 day Egyptian calendar was incorrect. The tool was actually very accurate and depicts the 364 day lunar calendar. Please do a follow up so people will know that it actually was accurate for the time period.
the production quality is INSANE nowadays 🙌👏 Edit: guys relax
there were einsteins in every generation. it's wrong to assume that no ancient people were smart enough to do this. ive heard about this device before and conversations around it quickly jump to aliens and other conspiracies. in my opinion, this device shows that humanity has always been innovative and unexpectedly masterful.
I love the idea of aliens using it to travel through space, by using a machine that depicts Earth as the center of the universe lol.
The quality of these videos is simply just insane
11:38 “Only to realize that Mercury is in f•••ing retrograde” Holy shit I was not ready for that jumpscare I’ve never heard Fern curse before
This is such a good video. And I love the occasional "breaks in character". Interestingly letting the clinical side of documentation slip occasionally makes the presentation more enjoyable without detracting from the information.
Can it run doom?
"History became legend. Legend became myth. And for over two thousand years, the ship passed out of all knowledge" I can see what you did here precious
I had no idea they'd actually solved it. I'm astonished at what it actually was. Absolutely mind-boggling they were able to make something like that in ancient Greece.
When you're about to eat some food and fern uploads, W combo
feels like ive been seeing this video pop up on my recommended for 40 years i think its time i finally watch it
The quality of your animations is just flabberghasting
Every comment section to a fern video: Discussing the subject covered in the video < comment about how great the quality/production of his videos have been.
Whoever was in possession of it when it cracked must have had a heart attack at that very moment
Thanks. This is a breath of fresh air. No baiting...no going around in circles...just lots of information hitherto not heard of regarding this ancient finding.
