Awesome...just...awesome.
Some folk we never forget
Some kind we never forgive
Haven’t seen the back of us yet
We’ll fight as long as we live

That is so amazing! I was interested when I first heard of the Antikythera mechanism. But to see it built in Lego working and all. And how the video broke it apart to show how it works was amazing! Thank you for this tread!
