Seen that before. Didn't quite understand the offset wheel effects the first time through, even more amazing that someone could visualise it let alone make it. And also the precision at such an early time. There was going to be a follow up about whether this allowed the Phoenicians to be the "blue water" navigators (ie. out of sight of the coastline in the Med) they appeared to be.
Did that version include the guy who made a replica at home ?
