more complex than any instrument for the next 1,000 years


That's neat. I wonder what the world would be like if there wasn't that 1000 years in between.

Maybe if they spent a little less time on stuff like this and a little more time sorting their military they wouldn't have got spanked so hard when the Romans invaded...

I believe that this "relic" is amazing... or at least the idea that scientists say it's for telling the cycles of the lunar calander. I men back in the day they didn't have all the distractions we assocaite with the present. So what did they do with their spare time...... watch the stars, for thousands of years your very ancestors wondered what made the world tick and this device is IMO a way for them to understand that question.

and yes thats what QFT stands for.
