What exactly is this artefact
artefact?
?
It is an Astronomical instrument, an analogue
computer, a mechanical Cosmos working with
gears
It can be used:
• Observations (it can measure angular distance between
two astronomical objects
objects,, the altitude of a star
star,, the Sun
Sun,,
aplant and hence the geographic latitude using tables
tables,,
hence its name PINAX ΠΙΝΑΞ, ΠΙΝΑΚΙΔΙΟΝ)
• Astronomical computer,
computer, predict eclipses
• Calendar mechanism (many caledars
caledars,, incl. Olympiad)
Olympiad)
• Meteorological
Meteorological--climatological Instrument
• Impress your enemies (if you are a Governor or King
King))
• School demonstration device
• Show up to friends

It can be used to:
Measure Geographic latitude
possibly to measure Geographic
longitude (using the Moon position
for a place, calculated using
Kepler’s laws, Archimedes?,
Hipparchus?)
possibly the position of the planets.
possibly Cartography

Astronomy. Why? What for?
Άνθρωπος: αυτός που βλέπει τον
ουρανό.
ANTHROPOS, human in Greek:
The one that looks the sky
Άνθρωπος: αναθρών (αναθρεί δηλαδή εξετάζει, διαλογίζεται, κοιτάζει προς τα
πάνω)
α (αυτά) όπωπε (βλέπει, παρατηρεί),
εμβαθύνει σε ότι παρατηρεί με τη βοήθεια του ανώτερου ή έλλογου νου.
άνω + θρώσκω («αναπηδώ») + όπωπα (αρχαϊκός παρακείμενος του ορώ
«βλέπω»)
ή από το Μυκηναϊκό a-to-ro-qo άνδρ-ωπος αυτός που μοιάζει με άνδρα… (δεν μου
αρέσει)
