Awesome that they were able to reconstruct a working model. In an related story, divers off the coast of India have just recovered a 2,000 year old reciprocating saw, with the inscription "Craftsman" identified by computer imaging. More on the attempt to return this tool in another post. I seem to remember a pic of this item in one of my dad’s old “Chariot of the Gods” paperbacks.

It is really awesome to see all the interior gears working, how intricate they are. Definitely gonna be on my Christmas list this year. Somehow I don't think I'll be getting it though.
