I think this device was made by Africans who enlightened and traded with the Greeks. The Africans were much more advanced at this time in history and were known to navigate by the stars, worship the sun, and set cycles based on the moon. This is obviously African in my opinion.
If the Antikythera was discovered in the North Sea then I couldn't argue, but all of the European accomplishments came on the banks of the Mediterranean where they had contact with knowledgeable Africans.
No European had time to study astronomy long enough to make that type of device at the time it was made. Europeans were barely coming out of the ice age not knowing nothing about nothing.
It takes at least 2500 years to make an astrological observation in order to have knowledge to make such a device. And Europeans are in the year 2009 while Africans are in the year 10051. It's pretty obvious to me. And I know a lot about a lot, after all, I am a conscious African who knows what my people did.
