Technology from the stars

One method for investigating external influence on humanity is to look for discrepancies within the technological development civilizations. And while many are claimed there simply are not enough that have been actually verified. There is one however that seems to fall into the class of verification (yes it is real it works and does not fit into the time line of the civilization). The antikythera mechanism is one bit of antiquity evidence that demonstrate amazing leaps in human technological development. It could be argued that an intelligent agency other than homo sapien was responsible for its development. It is an extremely complex system of more than 30 miniaturized gears designed to measure astronomical positions. The estimated date of construction is 150 and 100 BC. It is designed to calculate astronomical positions.



A working model of this was made in 2007



Does anyone really believe that the Ancient Greeks made this machine that is comparable to fine watches made in the 19th century ? The Greeks were very cool, but not that cool.

There is also a considerable amount of bogus artifacts such as the crystal skulls and the Dropa stones that are claimed to have been constructed by aliens. It has been adequately demonstrated by scientific investigation that these artifacts are hoaxes. You have to be careful what you accept as a truth.

 

yes i believe the greeks made this
and show me proof that the crystal skulls are hoaxes
hey there are however other crazy things they have found (cant think of anything off hand) that seems other worldly

 

look up the tower on mar's moon(phobos i think) and look up the tower,,,
ON OUR MOON lol its on the darkside of the moon actually

 

The more reasonable assumption is that the Greeks produced this. It represents perhaps their greatest technological achievement, having been built right around the time Greece collapsed. No doubt it is the product of very intelligent men of very high station, using knowledge that was known only to a very few. The fact that Greek society was not profuse with such machines is no argument -- this mechanism was probably an early prototype of something that had not yet become widespread. Had Rome fallen during the Renaissance, Da Vinci's complex machines would also seem out of place to archaeologists. My point is that this machine needs to make us rethink our conception of the Greeks -- it is dishonest to assume that our traditional picture is true without qualification, and on this basis to assume that this machine couldn't have been made by Greeks, but must have been made by aliens. The Greeks certainly had the complexity of thought for philosophy, mathematics, and natural science. Are you asserting that they were not intelligent enough to conceive such a machine, or that they hadn't the skill to manufacture it? Both claims I think are highly suspect.

 

Lot of awesome things were made, and then forgotten when christianity came in.

 

yes!! that's becuz by its nature christianity is a drag on science

hey that machine, i'm sure was made by greeks, the greco-romans were known for using complex gears and archimedian screws
