    Explanation: The Antikythera Mechanism is a fascinating Greek artifact of Classical Antiquity which acted as a very primitive computer for predicting astronomical movements. A marvel of civilization, to make machines do mathematics!

    Logically, if there is a Antikythera Mechanism, there MUST be a Kythera Mechanism lurking out there; its opposite and bane!

    (There is not, Antikythera is the name of the island)

      Antiquity

      As opposed to the Quity.

      ¿Or is it anti-qué?

        Also apparently both Marko (may he be doing better now) and Thuomas are pretty big nerds? Iirc a few of the musics’ explanations indicate that, and would explain the sheer amount of references they use.

      Oh yeah? So there MUST be a Kythera island lurking out there then, right? /s

      (Yes, yes there is)

      Kythera is a much bigger island to search, give it time.

        Should we tell them the first one wasn’t found on the island?
