   People like a good mystery. I endlessly speculate about the fate of historical   
   figures, events & artifacts myself. I am not condemning anybody. Well, I am   
   condemning the media and those who lick it up as if it were ice cream.   
      
   The Antikythera Mechanism is awesome, even if we don't know anything   
   about how it worked, what it could do.   
      
   I mean, all the gearing, the way it was put together... THAT alone has been   
   enough to prompt calls of "Hoax" or "Error." There was never any need for   
   all the hyperbole.   
      
   I mean, ship wrecks never ceased. Some have argued that it could be   
   modern or it could have been dropped/sunk a thousand years later or   
   someone could have even intentionally placed a very old device beneath   
   the waves, to turn it into a valuable artifact.   
      
   People have suggested these things, because just the pieces and how   
   they are stuck together makes for a wondrous find...   
      
   Why the hell can't people simply accept the miraculous when they see   
   it? Why do they have to insist on more than is there?
