... It is generally accepted that the mechanism, widely known as the Antikythera mechanism, was made in Rhodes at the height of the Roman Republic, as the island was known as the source of interesting mechanical automata. You can tell just by looking at it that the device is part of a larger object, and it is also obvious that there are geared wheels and other rotational elements within it. The device undoubtedly is an early computer and could be seen as the first planetarium. ...

... The system is based on two straight lines ("axes"), perpendicular to each other, each of them marked with the distances from the point where they meet ("origin")--distances to the right of the origin and above it, the origin being taken as positive and on the other sides as negative (see drawing below). ... One system (" polar coordinates ") uses the length r of the line OP from the origin to P (i. e. the distance of P distance to the origin) and the angle that line makes with the x-axis. ...

... Early priests in Babylonia, Egypt, China and other countries, even among the Maya in America, examined therefore the motions of the Sun, Moons and planets across the sky, and came up with a variety of calendars, some still in use. ... During the year the Sun traces a full circle around the sky, so that if we keep a separate count of "Sirius days" and "Sun days", at the end of the year the numbers will differ by 1. ... Thus the calendar still slips, but at a very slow rate, about one day in 128 years...

The Calendar of Bloody A.tecs. Living in Central Mexico from the XII century to the being of the XVI century warlike A.tecs devoted much time to sciences including astronomy. For needs of agriculture A.tecs, using the knowledge received from the forecomers, developed the exact calendar system. 52 years of the moon-and-the sun cycle formed the basis of it (something like our conception of "a century"). ... A.tecs year was divided into 18 months with 20 days each. ... Mesopotamian astronomy. ...
