- Forge36 8y agoI couldn't read the entire article. I could through the amp link https://www.google.com/amp/s/www.haaretz.com/amp/archaeology/.premium.MAGAZINE-missing-piece-of-antikythera-mechanism-found-on-aegean-seabed-1.6640779 https://www.google.com/amp/s/www.haaretz.com/amp/archaeology...
- culot 8y agoDidn't work for me. This link seems to cover the find well, actually refuting the Haaretz story: https://www.news.com.au/technology/science/archaeology/antikythera-anticlimax-ancient-computer-excitement-a-case-of-overanticipation/news-story/fad4d3c501c56a8e830ddc3a89626dcf https://www.news.com.au/technology/science/archaeology/antik... "The new disk, if it belonged to the device could confirm its ability to predict the position of the groups of stars so important to the priests and seers of the era. But … it doesn’t. What the new disc actually was is unknown. But the bull-engraved plate is very unlikely to be part of the device’s complex workings. If the four protrusions were cogs, they’re unusually crude for such a intricate device. Most likely, they were practical attachments for whatever the disc adorned."
