Identify both visuals and connect.
Answer: Antikythera mechanism - supposedly the world's oldest analog computer at over 2200 years old. There is no consensus as to its purpose but was probably used to predict eclipses and such. The right visual is the British science historian Derek J. de Solla Price who built and studied a model based on the Antikythera mechanism. Mekhala was the only one to get this. Well done.
