Who Likes Ancient Artifacts?

The Antikythera Mechanism.

Isn't it fascinating that the people we presumed to be far-less advanced as us, monitored the
heavens in such a scientific manner?! With a simple crank of a handle, miniaturised wheels
and cogs tracked the moon, sun and it's suggested that the movement of planets are also
offered in the mechanism.

The Greek calendar, a cycle of nineteen years that closely follows a common multiple of a
solar year observed by Greek astronomer Meton, seems to be the basis of the the device
and with assistance of the 'manua' inscribed on the remains of the back door, we can see
that not only the Greeks were well instructed in calculating time, they also knew about the
longitudes on certain ecliptic celestial bodies.



They may have had their Gods and wore sandals to shuffle through their cities, but this complex
machine is an insight to what ancient civilisations were really up to and the very fact that this
apparutus could be constructed, hints that the manner we perceive our ancestors is probably
all wrong.

The Ancient Screw.

There's plenty of debate on the internet of whether this artifact is actually a man-made object
or just the fossilised remains of a sea creature called a Crinoid. The alleged researchers who
discovered the item in the Kaluga region of Western Russia were certain it was a constructed
screw and alleged further analysis ascertained that it existed before the being surrounded by
the rock.



Geologists estimate that the age of the rock is 300-320 million years, but whether that indicates
that the 'screw' is older and designed by an unknown individual, is still being argued.
