I have to think that there were other similar things contemporaneous with this device as the skill and knowledge displayed in its design and execution would not come ex nihilo.
I saw the mechanism in person recently on a trip to Greece and it was a strangely electric
experience. That such a thing could have been made two thousand years ago is hard to believe. It seems almost supernatural, an artefact of time travel or something. I watched it for more than an hour, but it didn't do anything.
