The Ancient Greeks were very able mathematicians and not only able to figure out a formula for calculating when solar eclipses occurred but they also made a high precision mechanical calculator to figure this out too. Fast forward to the 21st Century and we've now got the technology to allow us to examine the remains of this ancient calculator and to help determine how it worked. With this knowledge, it is now left to re-engineer this device in Lego.
