  • are all these gears accurate? has it been calibrated? could you make this digital version publicly available online, i would be willing to pay money for an accurate version with all the markings etc.

  • @OrganicDrew thanks for writing and sorry for the delay. the gears and the marking were quite accurate, i used an historically accurate disposition for reference. maybe today you can find something *more* accurate, however, you can use this movie (or the original 3ds max file, if you like) in every possible way at no cost.

  • I wonder how many ancient propeller powered ships remain to be found (or remain hidden by arrogant scientists)...

    Our history has got some secrets, that's for sure.

  • Thanks for posting. Facinating.

  • @1971SuperLead Well, then. I have nothing left to write.

  • @jonahbegone I know E.T.'s have always been around and interacting with civilizations.

  • @1971SuperLead Why would you suggest this? Isn't ancient man intelligent enough? And how would you know?

  • super!

  • @albatross1977 It was hidden. The device was made for Pompey the great.

  • Very cool. Maybe ET's were behind it some how.

  • @UpsetBrit

    Why the hell would any scientist hide ancient technology?
