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?                                                               -- --              https://jtem.tumblr.com/post/651724957319102464              --- SoupGate-Win32 v1.05        * Origin: you cannot sedate... all the things you hate (1:229/2)    |
