A little debate that I'm interested in after watching a documentary about it! Do you guys really think that the points that appear in this very famous Summerian diagram, represent planets? Why not stars? I don't see it so clear at all..

Yeah, the star is in the middle and the other objects are orbitting around it. Seems like a depiction of our solar system, to me.

If that one interests you, check this one out. Ancient egyptian art depicts helicopters and other flying devices.

Hidden inscriptions offer new clues to the origins
of a mysterious astronomical mechanism


DECODING THE ANTIKYTHERA MECHANISM - THE FIRST COMPUTER

After 2,000 years under the sea, the sight is stunning.
Close inspection shows traces of technology that appear utterly modern:
gears with neat triangular teeth (just like the inside of a clock)
and a ring divided into degrees (like the protractor you used in school).
Nothing else like this has ever been discovered from antiquity.
Nothing as sophisticated, or even close, appears again for more than a thousand years

AND

Solely because of a belief that ancient people couldn’t possibly build a device so complex :smile:
some claim Antikythera Mechanism is a hoax .

BUT

The Antikythera Mechanism Research Project stated
that an examination at the National Archaeological Museum in Athens
has found that the device is not a hoax.
