   The problem is that nobody has identified "It."   
      
   There was no way to produce a functioning machine with the   
   parts available. People always discarded parts that were   
   found or added parts that don't exist. AND THEN they always   
   move on to making huge & unsupportable claims about it's   
   function and accuracy...   
      
   Again:  We know how to do it. Tell the engineers what you want,   
   tell them what materials they can use, what parameters to work   
   within, and they will do it. They will produce a machine. Will it   
   be the machine that the ancients produced? Who knows? Certainly   
   not us. Certainly not anybody in the story I cited or the video you   
   cited.   
      
   THAT is the issue.
