The Antikythera Mechanism Episode 10 - Evidence Of A 354-day Lunar Calendar 

Thank you for sharing. Fantastic!

I really enjoy these videos, thank you for making them. 😁

I read your published work a couple months ago on SocArXiv, and was actually an astonishing read that it most likely would have been a 356 day calendar. The research and work you put into this is truly astonishing! Look forward to your uploads!

That's fantastic! We can finally stop seeing the same comment on every "Clips" video! Also getting published... But mainly the comment thing

Probably the best bit of this serries is the research paper. New findings from trying to recreate something with the original methods and Xrays/CAD.

For some reason I'm always tickled when one RU-vidr I follow comments on a video by another RU-vidr I follow. 😁

+1

Woo-Hoo indeed. I heartily second this.

@@SolarWebsite Yeah, me too.

I also get excited seeing my fellow Texan and one of my favorite youtubers following and supporting great content.

2020 is better now.

He's the chosen one after all

Now the covid Will go away

You are so right !!

God! We have missed you!!

so, he finally decided to bring him back

His skills with the lathe magic grow stronger

@@OtherWorldExplorers Nah, wasn't the banana peel. Was knock on Butterfly effect from TOT sending Martin the conveyor shafts.

Can't wait to see that new drillpress🤗

Hey TOT is it you that's been leaving all the comments about throwing the completed mechanism in the ocean to avoid a paradoxical catastrophe?

same bro

✋

Hand up!

Yep!!

YES - me :-D

Ngl I almost cried

Same here. I've been drooling over this project for years. It has been deeply satisfying to actually click on a new Clickspring episode .. I had even forgotten what it felt like. 2020 sucks a little less now. Oh and the discovery is going to be interesting to delve into later. Cheers 🍺

What?

@@chefboyardeesnuts277 See This Old Tony's video "Origins." You won't regret it. It's a collaboration between Clickspring and ToT, and features cameos from a number of other machinist channels like Abom79 and Stefan Gotteswinter.

@@chefboyardeesnuts277 Bah, realized I sound like a bot. I'm not. I'm responding your post where you obviously haven't seen the time travel episode.

I feel like I’ve aged a lifetime since the last clickspring video

i almost thought that he died...

@@Shadow__X If his heart stopped, he'd speak calmly to it, and then build himself another one out of annealed brass using excellent, perfect filing.

Glad to see that LPL is a fellow man of culture!

LPL is a gentleman and a scholar. I knew it.

I was about to say "Hi this is the lock picking lawyer and today I'm going to show you how the Egyptian calendar can be deciphered with a paper clip :-)

Why is it that you always pop up on all the videos I watch?

Lol just came from a cleetus video you commented on 👍

You win the RU-vid comments for life! Here is your crown 👑

Underrated

Ave: it's on the healing bench

Matthias?

@@cheyannei5983 Matthias Wandel, awesome woodtuber

And have everyone still stoked to watch two year later.

And have nearly 50k views in the first two hours...

However, this is not at all out of character. Viewing the rest of his body of work, it's clear to see this man lives and breathes dedication and patience.

It's funny how much progress is made by people going "hmm, something about this doesn't sit right with me." :Reinvents whole field:

@@finngardiner5358 The most exciting phrase to hear in science, the one that heralds new discoveries, is not “​Eureka” but “That's funny...” -Isaac Asimov

Well worth the wait!

@@finngardiner5358 Science in a nut shell :)

Now THAT is production value

I’d rather wait 20 months between videos again, but the reconstructions as accurate as possible given the wreckage, than have more regular videos and and a “looks OK to me” reconstruction. This series shines by trying to reconcile what survives with how it might have been made, and that opens the door for even more discoveries in the future. The first physical evidence of an Egyptian civil-based lunar calendar that has only been a hypothesis for seventy years is superb for a RU-vid series.

I think this is the first clear sign that 2021 will be better than 2020

It's kind of terrifying that we had to endure 2020 to get him back.

No! 2020 is absolute shit! But now that Chris has returned we can leave it behind us together and look forth to a bright Future.

I believe he covered this in an episode with this old tony 😂

Perfect.

@@TheNameIwantedWasTkn The original Antikythera Mechanism is actually the very one Chris is making right now, which will get thrown back in time into ancient Greece the very first time he sets it in motion after completing it. It'll then get found by a merchant and end up in a shipwreck. Then remains will be found in 1901, and then later x-rayed and used as a template by Chris to make itself.

You too mate, thx for tuning in :)

I always wondered why Thanos didn't just double or triple the resources in the universe rather than halving the occupants. Weird.

@@Makebuildmodify Thanos is a nihilist and in love with death in the Marver universe comics. That's mainly the reason I guess.

This ❤️❤️

Rofl! Perfect symbolism

@@pekkasaarinen2902 Oh yeah, I forgot about that. Nothing really matters anyway........You see what I did there? ;)

I was beginning to suspect that Chris had completed the build and it caught the attention of extradimensional, or extraterrestrial beings and they had spirited him away because he knew too much

@@Koumajutsu Or the mechanism was a mechanical time machine and he had gone back to the past to learn from the master? Hmn, could Chris have been the original apprentice who built the machine and thrown it into the sea on purpose?

Actually so we're the calendars of most other ancient people's that I am aware of. Since a lunar calendar would get out of sync in only a few years it seems to point to me that the solar year may well have been 360 days at one time and possibly some astronomical catastrophe must have happened. It is interesting to research into this...

@@johnpokrzywa1139 If an astronomical catastrophe capable of adding 5 full days to the year had happened after the invention of writing, we would definitely have evidence of it, at least in the mythology.

I remember looking into this 360 day calendar a long time ago. And my archaeology friends told me that within two years every culture on Earth changed from a 360 day calendar to a 365 day calendar. I think the simplest explanation is that the Earth used to have 360 days in a year and it ended up getting changed at some point. Likely a near-miss from a very large meteor

@@jules3311 Or else there would not be any civilization to make note of it.

@spacecase0 I think your archaeology friends might have been playing a joke on you

I have to know ..... what brand

@@marcg2233 I think I might buddy break out the Glenfiddich 18 for this one

cheers sir.enjoy your drink.

Some monkey shoulder sounds like a great way to celebrate

Best comment award

lol everyone is here for the occasion, Practical Engineering, LockPickingLawyer, Hand Tool Rescue, NightHawkInLight, Ronald Finger and more.

The fact that this comment is here says everything you need to know about how highly regarded Clickspring is in the community. Epic, epic work!

Hey Ronald, I was just thinking about you. In an audiobook I was just reading one of the character disassembles a Fiero and transports it across time one piece by one piece and reassembles it!

its been so long for a new video i was wondering if chris started working on a fiero.

I love your channel as well, look forward to every upload! Happily surprised to see you commenting on one of my other favorite channels! Have an awesome day.

Was literally about to comment this.

Something must have gone wrong on the last time travel with ToT

Beat me to it. @nick you beat me to that.

That's exactly what i thought he was going to say. But to be honest, his last video was in a different decade.

I had the same thought.

Where's, "This Old Tony"? Maybe still sleeping

@@michaelboris2500 he's here now :D

It's like all the best parts of youtube that doesn't get all the attention.

All that's missing is Luke Towan

@@linuslovholm Also Adam Savage, he's an avid Clickspring viewer from what I gather

Can't wait for some more of your work!

_Nani? Is that... a JOJO REFERENCE?!_

I Just managed to screen shot it, it's only the partial view of a white guy with grey hair.

Oh shit, I just re-watched his motorcycle clutch vid before this popped up.

Someone with a more random upload schedule than you Nordern!

@@jamesmccann5644 LMAOOOO

@@jamesmccann5644 touche, you win this time comments section!

Are you the Spanish Inquisition, because I did not expect you to be here.

Unless you're the only one with a key to your work shed there's no point cleaning it out. Usually, "Her indoors" sees empty storage space as an incentive to find something to fill it with. :( I've got a little 1 car garage sized "Man cave" workshop, But it's had literally TONS of junk abandoned in it for years now. I cracked last week and decided I wanted to clear it out and organise it enough to be able to do simple DIY projects and do servicing on the car myself again without having to spend 3 hours digging through stacks of junk to get to everything I needed first. As it was, even if I COULD find the tools I needed, there was no actual free space to do any work in there, and one stray grinding or welding spark could have smouldered in the mountain of avalanched household junk for hours before finally catching light and burning the place to the ground ! I've took 4 full trailer loads of household crap to the recycling centre so far. I've found the welding equipment I haven't been able to get to in an age, I've been reunited with my lathe that had boxes piled all around and on top of it, and unearthed toolboxes I couldn't find when I needed them. I've been busting a gut all week trying to get my workshop into a usable state again, and I'm finally starting to see some progress........ But yesterday I got asked if I thought I'd have it cleared out before next weekend? I asked why it mattered how long it takes me to "Excavate" my workshop (I was expecting to be asked to fix something once my "Man cave" was usable again), But she said that one of her friends is moving house and she needs somewhere to store stuff for a few months !!!!! I said "How does "Not happening" sound?!!" and told her they can pay the £30 a week I had to back when I needed to rent a storage unit. Most of the crap I've already clear out of my workshop is from when one of her other friends moved over 5 friggin' years ago !!!!! I'd told her several times over a year back that I needed it collecting ASAP or I'll have to get rid of it myself, but nothing ever got taken, So I'm feeling that I'm quite justified about finally dumping her abandoned crap....... And now I'm being asked to allow ANOTHER of her friends to do the same?!?!?!

That soothing aussie lilt; I can hear him grinning with every word. One of the best narrations on youtube.

Earth: "I need healing!" Clickspring: "Healing stream engaged!"

Darn, I missed his RU-vid videos for the first 98 years. Have them been saved somewhere?

The plot thickens

Wait for real????? Link?

what no way?!?!?!?!!!

He had to go back to replace the original after he discovered some errors, same errors that caused the time gap, that's why he was missing for more than a year. Luckily he had enough prerecorded clips for his other channel to compensate the paradox.

Where is it in the video? I couldn't find it

Wintergaten's build is actually next on my list. right after i catch up on my other subs... only 1800 videos to go! (I'm bad at this.)

Add Tally Ho's rebuild on Sampson Boat Co and This Old Tony and you have my top maker channels.

@@jdwxly I'll have to check put the Samson Boat thing. For chuckles add uncle bumblefu- AvE

Add the Astro Skeleton clock to your list!

@@jdwxly already got them! Acorn to Arabella is another good boat build.

As Edison is quoted: Genius is one percent inspiration and ninety-nine percent perspiration. And sometimes this is attributed to Einstein also.

Nice to know..i too feel “complete”🤣

Sir, your word... is incomplete.

@@MuitoDaora Hahaha you are correct! That is pretty funny actually.

I didn't cry. I just got a little smoke in my eyes.

It's just sand, I'm too manly to cry.🥲

waddaya think this is? Project Binky?

Thankfully Chris was talking about discussion in the Horological Research community :) He has commented on the Patreon site that, IIRC, there will still be a couple of years worth of regular build videos for the AM. This will be good :)
