Despite its small size—about that of a shoebox—it housed 30 intricately designed bronze gears, some with such precision that they would astonish modern engineers. This ancient device was not merely a curiosity; it employed advanced technology to track celestial bodies and predict astronomical events, including eclipses, the lunar calendar, and even the scheduling of the Olympic Games.
