Join host Karl Stern as we open the museum of curiosities again this week and pull out an actual real artifact. An artifact that we can really see in a museum, study, and make models of: the Antikythera Mechanism. The Antikythera Mechanism is a vastly complex analog computing device dating to presumably 200 BC or earlier with hugely complicated gears and switches that track celestial movements, eclipses, and more, sometimes down to the very hour. The lost wisdom of our ancestors is astonishing and this artifact seems out of place in the timeline. Let's talk about it.

I was more a fan of the comics than of the Sunbow cartoon series but I have still seen every one of them. Even through the "dark years" of the late 1990s when there weren't any G.I.

I am a big fan of GIJoburg podcast , Joe on Joe , S
