https://youtube/watch?v=y_SYdqPB40Q we dont give the ancient societies enough credit. egytians have had a 365 day calander for thousand of years. its pretty amazing to me that they could be that accurate that early and a true test to human achievement. the romans figured out that there is a difference of 1day every four year before the birth of Christ. this greek mechanism might be the most impressive astrological feat of the ancient world. the first ever computer, historians mathematicians engineers and astrologists have suggested that the antikythera mechinsm was a portable computer about the size of lap top that used gears to chart the movement of the stars and the moon. many early societies had these concepts figured out to some extent but this device allowed this knowledge to be brought upon a boat, so that even someone who was not an expert could predict how the waves would be based on lunar positioning
