I've been fascinated by the Antikythera device for many years! We have lost/forgotten so very much technology and knowledge over the millennia.
I have always been frustrated by academics who announce every 10 years or so "turns out our ancestors weren't retards", well no shit motherfuckers, try and live 50,000 years ago, make fire/tools, hunt/forage, raise a family/group while living through the worse weather hominids have ever experienced, for a month and tell me how stupid they were, you can't do it and neither could I, and I think being an Infantry Soldier I'd be better suited to doing so.

If they made a movie, they would have to delete some parts of it to make it believable.
