I understand your tone of 'consult those who have already studied such things'. Whale carcasses do hold natural methane gas, as that is what explodes out their intestines after they die. Besides, none of this has anything to do with me. All about the information, not who came up with it. Edited August 13, 2019 by Awlsew Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was found in a shipwreck dated to roughly 2000 years old and was found with many other bronze items from that time period. The device shows information about the solar system consistent with what was known at that time. If you watch the Nova show on the mechanism you get to see some of the other bronze statues also found at the site. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As Stereo has already pointed out, we are dealing with that very important archaeological term context. The site area has been professionally investigated on at least three occasions during the last century+. All the artifacts recovered are, within a rather narrow timeframe, temporally consistent. It should also be remembered that the script utilized on the artifact is also temporally consistent. As to the preservational state, there are a number of factors beyond strict salinity that can influence the degree of preservation. In short, your speculation is not consistent with the current and rather extensive data. . 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Have you read the material which ID's the language that is written on the machine and also that it notes when the Greek Olympics will be held - a little odd that these particular pieces of information would have been put on a device made by some earlier 'invisible civilization'. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
