Animate It - Armillary Sphere 

Portugal is the only nation in the world where it's national flag has an "armillary sphere".

Now imagine hundreds of years back the owners of this instruments could just touch it with bare hands without bothering with gloves.

What a magnificent combination of art and science.

Read the Bible, it's not accident. Hell is also real.

The earth shown as a bowl upon which the observable hemisphere of the sky moves around a central point. Flat earth model in its perfection.

I will sell the rubble from my backyard to aliens for million dollar a piece so that they can pack it into their spacecraft, go back to their planet then cast it into perspex and display it next to armed guards as "rocks from a remote planet" and study it under the most exquisite delicate and sensitive nuclear magnetic spin resonance thermometer spectrometer integrator quark entanglement derivator. and wonder why there are pieces of rebar in it.

I love this video so much. Shame it doesn't have the views it deserves.

We were no Accident...We were Deliberately Created...And Earth is Flat according to the Bible..."The Earth takes shape like clay under a Seal" come on Dude

The symbol of Portugal!!!!

I'd like to see an exact version with exception having a light in the center of earth that projects out and allows you to map the projected shadows.

Wow. An absolutely marvelous unity of science, math, and craftsmanship. (Beautiful, too).

Beautiful Artefact. Would love to have model of this at home

You know what is elegant and beautiful... You are Chris Parkin. I love you.

Amazing. Thanks for sharing the information and preserving these priceless artifacts.

Gorgeous!

Superb - thanks for sharing this.

Beautiful

Thank you for this video! It's very interesting! And I want to animate it!

This demonstrates the kind of genius we humans are capable of. It makes me wish we humans were more dedicated as a whole to science and exploration of the heavens, as opposed to the things we are currently dedicated to.

Wonderful.
