For those who don't know, The Antikythera Mechanism is a remarkable artifact unearthed in 1900 off the coast of Greece's Antikythera island. After thorough study, it was dated back to around 200 B.C., earning its title as the oldest known computer in existence. This intricate reconstruction is a testament to the power of open-source information available online, courtesy of scientists who have made their data freely accessible in museums. UPDATE! The mechanism now boasts additional components, including sun gears b1-b2-b3, along with the sun axis and internal axis – both essential for integrating moon gear functionality later on. Moreover, washers and a sun dial have been added to enhance its overall accuracy and aesthetic appeal.
