Abstract
The Antikythera Mechanism is a machine made up of bronze gears capable of predicting celestial positions, moon phases, eclipses and calculating calendars. Its construction is estimated to be 205 BCE. Studies on the functioning of the mechanism revealed great technical sophistication. From the principle of operation of the Antikythera Mechanism, a simplified didactic replica of the device was developed to be used as an educational instrument.
