How old is the ancient computer?

Christian Christians Christian Carman and James Evans report that instead of relying on trigonometry to predict eclipses, ancient Greeks used ancient Babylonian numerical methods.

"The prediction of eclipses was not based on Greek trigonometry (which did not exist in 205 BC) - but on Babylonian arithmetic methods, borrowed by the Greeks," the researchers said. Greekreporter.

Cicero states in detail the creation of such a mechanism. This mechanism was a spiritual child of Archimedes and was moved to Rome by General Marcellus, after the death of the mathematician.

Christian Carman and James Evans explain that, according to they have, the device was built to monitor the solar cycles starting from the year 205 BC. Along with the history of Cicero, this means that the mechanism was built in the time of Archimedes.
