I have tried winding the gears back to starting position but now whenever I try to predict the solstice it is incorrect, causing great embarrassment at the local sect. I bought this because those young men in white robes drawing mystic figures in the sand convinced me it would help me with my predictions, and that it was a lot easier than traditional augury or lining up rocks like the celts do. I call bullshit, what the hell is the problem with traditional birds entrails telling you these things? I spent a goat on this and it isn’t working, and I released all the birds because I thought I wouldn’t need them anymore and now I am freaking out, if I don’t get this right Zeus know what the initiae will do to me.
Anyways, any of you have experience with this issue?
Based on the discoloration I’d reckon material fatigue. Was the copper it’s made of of really shitty quality?
Have you tried turning it off and leaving it at the bottom of the sea for 2000 years?
That’s a brilliant idea. I think even better I leave it in a spot I will remember, like a shipwreck.
!remindme 2000 years
Have you tried removing the crank and putting it back in again?
I don’t, no, sorry.
Maybe try asking in !antikythera_support@lemmy.world ? The people there are not like us, but they are (probably) not to be feared.
Thank you kindly I will offer a morsel at the altar of Persephone to wish you a good harvest.
Sorry, you voided your warranty by dunking it in water.
My neighbor has one that I covet, but getting one for myself is out of my price range as long as the blight continues to take one-fifth of my crops, and the priests another one-fifth as payment for their anti-blight sacrifices (which so far have yielded no result).
