Was gonna suggest this and i am glad I was beat to it. I tip my hat to you... and Clickspring

Clickspring did a beautiful job.

It slightly boggles my mind there wasn't more fanfare of him making the device with experimental methods trying to be historically accurate and a large chunk entirely by hand. I would have expected it to go on tour around the world and be shown in exhibitions, but as far as I can tell it's just quietly gone away and just sits as a collection off KZfaq video's.

Came here to shout out click spring

I was wondering if this has been accurately reproduced and if I could convince them to produce a permanent magnet pendulum clock and permanent magnet motor clock..

Or a very well read Pirate. I’d buy the audio book of Treasure Island if this man read it.

That’s why I listened to the whole thing ❤️

@@kenlieck7756 thanks cool man, I love AJ & Infowars. I’m just a fan.

Some answers (These answers are my own view). . . 1) Simple tools fashioned to be filing kits. They then would cut out perfect circles from 1/8 inch thick bronze plate. As for where to cut, Clickspring does a good explainer on his second channel I believe. 2) Solder. Most glyphs and characters of the mechanism (+3,000 characters - 2019 Tony Freeth) were sculpted out of the plating, however the few above characters above the plating, were made from solder. 3) The Greeks made small bottles by winding threads of molten glass onto a core of clay mixed with manure. Blacksmiths and craftsmen alike would manufacture glass designed to magnify. 4) Eye sight - Unless you were a Roman, than you might need a translator from Greek to Latin. 5) I don't know the right answer to this. My own view is too cut precise and lightly sand until tolerance is achieved. 6) The gear is the right 'spec' when the gear has the right Module (Gear Tooth Count / Gear Diameter). Again, Clickspring's second channel goes through how they could have found this. The total number of gears: depends who you ask: Freeth, Wright, Price, C. Carman. By my count: 54 (2 Lunar Gears as per Freeth - Private Communication - Sorry :( C.Carman). 7) The Ancient Greek crafts were very Very competitive. Greek neighbours wanted to own the better version of whatever their neighbour owned. Ancient Greek crafters would obtain a version of the Mechanism, and replicate it with improvements. They'd then pass on these improvements to their apprentice, and the cycle repeats. 8) It's hard to say how much discard there was when the mechanism was in its initial construction. However, they used Bronze plating which there was an no shortage of. In it's refinement and cleaner manufacturing process, the discard would be to the minimal. 9) This question does make me smile. No, short answer. The craftsmen would set the dial to the beginning of the 19 year cycle, and wind it forward to the current date and would see if everything lined up. I've been researching the mechanism for several months for my own reconstruction for a Fully 3D printable Mechanism that anyone could print. I also know why Freeth didn't mention Clickspring but you didn't ask that question 0.0

@@sottyify thanks

VERY SHARP tools!

@traybern yes, also the hardness of the cutting tool would have to be high. This means having a good experience with metallurgy.

I'm busy writing a novel with this as one of the MacGuffins. Apparently Indiana Jones 5 took an interest in it too, the difference is that I've done my research and made a story that's rather close to the truth and close to what people would expect from an Indiana Jones type story.... Disney..... yeah from what I heard, they pretty much fucked up with it, modern tinseltown style. Such a pity, coz there is a really fascinating story to tell, I know, coz I've written it. Just need to polish some dialogue and certain scenes, but the overall story is finished, think I'm on draft 7 now, with continuous improvements on it.

@@stijnvdv2 screw Hollywood, if you've got a great story to tell, then tell it. Good writing will stand on its own regardless of what other people do. Best of luck in your endeavors.

@@BriarLeaf00 it’s all total bogus. None of these things have every been proven scientifically. The truth is that Christ sacrificed himself for your sins & was sent to earth to cleanse mankind of all sin & evil, all that’s required is you repent to Christ & accept as Lord & savior

@@ulfhedtyrsson I know. My post makes it sound like she's a dummy. But I was just letting folks know that's not the case. It's that our interests are not 100% aligned

@@baarbacoa You might find this fact interesting: medicine, by the Ancient Greeks, was considered an "art" while MUSIC was considered a science! Their "ascending scale of Knowledge" was: Arithmetic, Geometry, Stereometry, Music, Astronomy. This is why ALL Greeks (including children and women) had to learn Music! They were also taught to love LIFE, conquer their fear of Death and do NOT expect life "after death" (unless they became heroes-serving Humanity-then Gods might grand them IMMORTALITY) and to always look at the stars at night, because "that's where the Greeks came from"!

Check 27:50 for possible construction dates.

The advanced technology was lost during a cataclysmic event.

It's all in the mathematics... But without knowing the cycles then the formula could not be created.. There wasone point mentioned which give a clue to the date.. The accuracy calculated is not as precise as today.. What calculations amd how inaccurate? This will should be able to be picked up via Pi.

@@miaj5118 Wrong: in Ancient Greece it was called ASTRONOMY. Huge difference!

Well, they made a few mistakes. For instance, there's no user manual, and no customer support. They don't even have a Web site with a faq! The main problem with giving them credit, though, is that they forgot to sign the bloody piece. There isn't even a company logo! I'm not entirely joking. Respect needs an object; something to be respected. We can admire their work, and respect their skill, but we can't respect them, because we don't know who they are. They may have been OK with that, though. I'm getting a serious nerd vibe from this mechanism, so they might have preferred to shut themselves into their workshop and avoid attention.

They were black 😂😂😂😂

@@CharlieBrown-zr9wk They were Greek...

They had help

This is caused by the myopic tendency of some people to think technological and cultural advancement is somehow linear when history clearly shows that is quite far from the historical trend. The people who made such were absolute experts at their trades back then and you'd need to look hard to find modern engineers who could build similar complexity devices leveled to our current tech base. They exist for sure but it's likely a smaller share than we'd care to admit.

I'm glad you're no longer so silly to think that aliens have contacted humans.

So how did they build such a precision device in that early time? Your original deduction is more realistic. Not made by humans... with the level of technology required to create such a device it seems obvious this was not man made back then. What other conclusion is there? 1mm precision back then???

We stand on the shoulders of giants and the signal issue of our times is whether to allow our governments to sexually mutilate children. Thank goodness for videos like this.

Yes and they been hiding things ever since about our true human history.

Before you make such claims check with the Chinese. More often than not they will have invented something first.

@@PatPauloMMA Always!

I mean they took the pyramid cap stones off to build a city. People are too lazy to cut the stone, mine the metal themselves so we are recyclers. I feel like a lot of humans are good at reconstituting objects to achieve a goal, maybe it's because we have been doing it so long.

More to come!

Hopefully doing some different topics like these will bring you in some more viewers and subs. You definitely deserve way more than you have!

Thank you!

Well...maybe. Much of what we know about ancient culture and the educated people of the time is just made up by archeologists to fit a convenient theory that shows history is completely linear and that we are the end all and be all and everything great about homo sapiens. Much of history is just fantasy created to explain ancient cultures that doesn't upset the pet theories of the status quo. Archeology is not much of a science...its more of a philosophy created in the humanities.

Shoot, i thought it was a documentary! Lol. Great voice too.

Wasn’t aware of it. Will look into it.

"Tiny criticism- you don’t need the music" I thought it was fine and added to the sense of wonder of the spoken voice.

Thank you for watching.

The thing about clocks is that they had them. The Greco-Roman world had really elaborate water clocks, some even self-correcting to a degree, so the concept was there. It just appeared that they hadn't made the leap to the job of the water being done through a wound metal spring. They may not have had springs, but It might also just have been a matter that they did actually know to do that, but these mechanisms were so expensive to construct at the time that no one bit when the water clocks and sun dials were good enough.

As a Greek guy who has tried to read some of the transcribed text on the machine (and understands most of the words), it looks like a user's manual that was printed right on top of the device. Many words are missing of course, but in general I think it's trying to explain to the user what the outputs mean. That's probably the reason for the small text, they just had to fit all those words there. I just find that very interesting, because if that's true it means that the device was made for laymen, it wasn't a device that was shared between scientists in academies. Probably government officials or farmers or just rich people who wanted a cool gadget and didn't understand/weren't interested in learning how it works, they just wanted to be able to read it.

I think you’ve understood it exactly. A device that could be use to predict in advance when the gods would smile or frown could have led to success or failure of human enterprise under the polytheistic belief system of astronomical signs. Wealthy men and kings would pay a fortune to accurately ensure that fate smiled upon risky endeavors. Whoever could establish himself as a guarantor of heavenly signs would be a most trusted advisor, or a proven analog computing device might do so without the chance of subterfuge. No disruption of space-time continuum required.

Yes, you would certainly think so. They didn’t just suddenly create a device like this… without any predecessor. Even if those earlier examples of this technology are out there somewhere waiting to be discovered, the creator of this one had to be an absolute genius. It’s fascinating to think about.

That is certainly the suspicion of many historians but the lack of evidence prevents speculation. But I mean when one looks at the relative sophistication of the greco roman world, its almost unavoidable. Its like all the other books from antiquity mentioned only in passing. Happens all the time. A good example for the anglo world is like if Shakespeare whole saved body of work would be A Midsummer Night's Dream, but in passing by other peoples writing you hear there were other works like Hamlet or Macbeth. Probably masterpieces but who knows.

@@Atrahasis7 Yeah it has been noted however that because its bronze once any tool or other artifact is no longer needed/useful they generally remelted it down because bronze was very valuable. Thus the absence of such artifacts outside of things lost at sea or burial isn't that surprising either.

well same with the Chinese lol they invented loads of stuff

They ate a LOT of carrots!
