Egyptian temple?
Do you mean the pyramids?

I highly doubt anybody here on earth would be able to build such a percise device especially when the already had two much simplier ship navigation systems way back then... the compass and a triangular measuring instrument. This Antikythera Mechanism seems to be a stolen artifact as it seems rather incomplete especially as a one of a kind and no matching historical written record of such a feat which is also bizarre. But then again, there's Stonehenge, The Mayan Calendar and The Egyptian Temple.

It was made in Rhodes island by Posidonios about 80 BC. It was used for navigation. Recently, scientists had the ability to discover a lot of information & using instructions that was written on it by using the latest techology.
It is amazingly more sophisticated than they could imagine.

The Greeks were so close to inventing a mechanical clock!! Or for that matter, modern machines in general. The only thing they were missing was the spring; which would have required a high tensile metal they perhaps couldn't create yet. Too bad... the person who invented this, and built it, was a genius.....

What good can it be used for?

this device was a navigation aid for ships. Specifically designed to derive longitude from astronomical observation. Cronometers were first used in the modern age for that purpose, as were tried but could design an astronomical way for determining longitude.

most reports ive seen said it wouldnt be used for ships at all- just not practical

Why is the damned thing less than 2 frames per second? That's really offputting.
