This thing is cool I have been following it for a little while as well, its basically a primitive "computer" that mapped the stars and kept up with dates and stuff. Somebody recently built a working replica of it:

I've heard of it, really cool machine for its era

... and all this time I though Antikythera was a disease you catch from chatting with Antik.

Very cool link reboticon
