Antikythera Mechanism
Description
An account of the resource
One of the artefacts ranked among the Wonders of the Ancient World is the Antikythera Mechanism, the oldest extant complex geared device, also described as the first analogue computer. Its construction was variously estimated to be about 87 BC; or between 150 and 100 BC; or to 205 BC; or finally, within a generation before the shipwreck, which has been dated to approximately 70-60 BC. It relied on the second-century BC Greek knowledge of astronomy and mathematics.
The main utility of the Antikythera mechanism was to calculate the exact position of the Sun, the Moon and possibly the planets in the sky as well as the phases of the Moon and the prediction of eclipses. Apart from the prediction of astronomical events, the mechanism could also determine dates related to religious, social and agricultural rituals and events.
The Mechanism was accompanied by an extended “instructions manual” inscribed on one of its parts. The device was operated manually by a user, setting a date in a dial. All necessary calculations were made using a set of gears (at least 39), while the results were displayed on several scientific scales. Unfortunately, the specific purpose for which the Mechanism was made remains unknown.
The identity of its maker is also unknown, but the variety of skills and knowledge necessary for the creation of the Mechanism indicate that it required collaboration between an astronomer/mathematician and a mechanic.
With its discovery, the Antikythera Mechanism demonstrated that Greek engineers of the Hellenistic period had become far more fluent in designing and constructing geared devices than the surviving written sources infer. It is also notable that the knowledge transmitted by the mechanism was lost and similar technological works appeared much later in Byzantium (fifth-sixth century AD) and the Arab world, while complex ones like the Mechanism appeared in Western Europe in the fourteenth century.
The Antikythera Mechanism was retrieved from the sea in 1901 near the coast of the Greek island of Antikythera. The divers retrieved also numerous large artefacts, including bronze and marble statues, pottery, unique glassware, jewellery and coins. A year later, the archaeologist Valerios Stais acknowledged that the curious artefact housed in the remains of the wooden box was an instrument composed of at least one gear. The device was found as one lump, which was subsequently divided into three main fragments during restoration. The Mechanism currently showcased at the National Archaeological Museum of Athens is divided into eighty-two separate parts.
As expected, the scholars who have been involved in the study of the Antikythera Mechanism were numerous, with specialization in various research fields. The first researchers who focused for over 30 years on the study of the function of the Mechanism published the most substantial and extensive articles available today. A series of articles were also published dealing with the function and usage of the mechanism and its calculations. The authors of the various papers formed eventually the core of the “Antikythera Mechanism Research Group” composed of researchers from Greece and the UK, supported in addition by an international team of astronomers, archaeologists, mathematicians, physicists, chemists, computer engineers, mechanical engineers, epigraphists and papyrologists. In September 2005 they undertook a major new investigation of the Antikythera Mechanism, using x-ray tomography and a PTM/RTI dome for the mapping of the texture of the fragments, which revealed internal details of the gears, as well as inscriptions previously undeciphered.

Description
An account of the resource
<p><strong>The Antikythera Mechanism</strong> is the oldest existing complex geared device, an amazing <a href="https://apsida.cut.ac.cy/items/show/47379"><strong>geared analogue computer</strong></a>. It was built approximately 2150 years ago and was used to calculate astronomical phenomena.</p>
<p>The device was operated manually by a user, to set a date on a dial and notice the astronomical phenomena that occur on that day. Respectively, by choosing an astronomical phenomenon he can observe at which date it will happen. All necessary calculations were made using a set of gears (at least 39).</p>
<p>The Mechanism was used to calculate the diurnal and annual motion of the Sun, the Moon and probably the planets among the stars. It calculated the position of the Sun and the Moon on the Sky and the phases of the Moon for every day of the year and predict eclipses of the Sun and the Moon.</p>
<p>It implemented the astronomical knowledge of ancient Greeks about the motion of these heavenly bodies with astonishing accuracy, considering the <a href="https://apsida.cut.ac.cy/items/show/47380"><strong>anomalous motion of the Moon</strong></a> around the Earth, using a <a href="https://apsida.cut.ac.cy/items/show/47382"><span><strong>system of eccentric gears</strong></span></a>.</p>
<p>Essentially, in the Antikythera Mechanism, the epicyclic theory of Hipparchus is integrated. This theory was formulated to interpret the retrograde motions of the planets as well as the change in the angular velocity of the rotation of the moon around the Earth. Today we know that the moon's anomalous motion is due to its elliptical orbit as it turned around the Earth (Kepler's laws). It could, also, predict <strong><a href="https://apsida.cut.ac.cy/items/show/47381"><span>eclipses of the Sun and the Moon</span></a>.</strong></p>
<p>In addition, the Mechanism calculated the celebration date of the ancient Panhellenic Games. On the circumference of a corresponding dial found on the fragments of the Mechanism, the words Olympia, Pythia, Isthmia, Nemea and Naa have been deciphered. Internally, in each quadrant, the four years of the Olympic cycle are indicated. All these games were crowned Games, with winners being rewarded with olive wreaths.</p>
<p>The Antikythera Mechanism was a complicated instrument. Therefore, it is not surprising that it was accompanied by an extensive User’s Manual. New inscriptions that had not been read for more than 2000 years were revealed, mainly with the X-ray micro-focusing tomography. About 3500 letters and symbols have been deciphered up to now.</p>
<p><br /><strong>The collection is dedicated to Ioannis Seiradakis, whose contribution was a catalyst for the inception of the research for the Antikythera Mechanism, in 2005, which led to its decoding.</strong></p>
<p><strong><span><a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/John_Hugh_Seiradakis">John H. Seiradakis</a></span> (5 March 1948 – 3 May 2020)<br /></strong><br />Ο <a href="https://apsida.cut.ac.cy/collections/show/479"><span style="text-decoration: underline;"><strong>Μηχανισμός των Αντικυθήρων</strong></span></a> είναι η παλαιότερη σύνθετη μηχανολογική διάταξη οδοντωτών τροχών (γραναζιών) που έχει βρεθεί ως σήμερα. Κατασκευάστηκε πριν από περίπου 2150 χρόνια και είναι ουσιαστικά ένας αναλογικός <a href="https://apsida.cut.ac.cy/items/show/47379"><span style="text-decoration: underline;"><strong>υπολογιστής με γρανάζια</strong></span></a>, ο οποίος υπολόγιζε αστρονομικά φαινόμενα. Η συσκευή λειτουργούσε χειροκίνητα. Ο χρήστης μπορούσε να επιλέξει μια ημερομηνία από τις κλίμακες των ενδείξεων και να δει τα αστρονομικά φαινόμενα που θα συνέβαιναν εκείνη την ημέρα ή αντίστροφα, δηλ. να επιλέξει ένα αστρονομικό φαινόμενο και να δει σε ποια ημερομηνία θα συμβεί. Όλοι οι απαραίτητοι υπολογισμοί πρόεκυπταν μέσω της διαδοχικής σύζευξης οδοντωτών τροχών (τουλάχιστον 39). Ο Μηχανισμός χρησίμευε για τον υπολογισμό της ημερήσιας και της ετήσιας κίνησης του Ήλιου, της Σελήνης και πιθανώς των πλανητών ανάμεσα στους αστέρες. Υπολόγιζε τη θέση του Ήλιου και της Σελήνης στον ουρανό και προσδιόριζε τις φάσεις της Σελήνης για κάθε ημέρα του χρόνου. Περιείχε τις αστρονομικές γνώσεις των Αρχαίων Ελλήνων σχετικά με την κίνηση αυτών των ουράνιων σωμάτων με εκπληκτική ακρίβεια λαμβάνοντας υπόψη την <a href="https://apsida.cut.ac.cy/items/show/47380"><strong><span style="text-decoration: underline;">ανώμαλη τροχιά της Σελήνης γύρω από τη Γη</span></strong> </a>μέσω της χρήσης ενός <span style="text-decoration: underline;"><strong><a href="https://apsida.cut.ac.cy/items/show/47341">συστήματος έκκεντρων οδοντωτών τροχών</a></strong></span> (<span style="text-decoration: underline;"><strong><a href="https://apsida.cut.ac.cy/items/show/47341">Η ανώμαλη κίνηση της Σελήνης και η προσομοίωσή της από τον Μηχανισμό</a></strong></span>). Στον Μηχανισμό των Αντικυθήρων, ουσιαστικά, είναι ενσωματωμένη η θεωρία των επικύκλων του Ιππάρχου. Η θεωρία αυτή διατυπώθηκε για να ερμηνεύσει τις ανάδρομες κινήσεις των πλανητών καθώς και την αλλαγή της γωνιακής ταχύτητας της περιστροφής της Σελήνης γύρω από τη Γη. Σήμερα γνωρίζουμε ότι η ανώμαλη τροχιά της Σελήνης οφείλεται στην ελλειπτική τροχιά της κατά την περιστροφή της γύρω από τη Γη (νόμοι του Κέπλερ). Ο Μηχανισμός μπορούσε ακόμη να προβλέψει τις <span style="text-decoration: underline;"><a href="https://apsida.cut.ac.cy/items/show/47381"><strong>εκλείψεις του Ήλιου και της Σελήνης</strong></a></span>. Υπολόγιζε, επίσης, τις ημερομηνίες τέλεσης των Πανελλήνιων στεφανιτών αγώνων που λάμβαναν χώρα στην Αρχαία Ελλάδα. Στεφανίτες ήταν οι αγώνες που ο νικητής βραβευόταν στεφόμενος με κλαδί ελιάς. Οι αγώνες που αναγνώστηκαν στον Μηχανισμό των Αντικυθήρων είναι οι Ολυμπιακοί Αγώνες, τα Πύθια, τα Ίσθμια, τα Νέμεα, τα Νάα και τα Αλίεια. Τέλος, ο Μηχανισμός περιείχε και ένα εκτεταμένο εγχειρίδιο χρήσης.<br /><br /><a href="https://apsida.cut.ac.cy/items/show/47655"><span style="text-decoration: underline;"><strong>Βιβλιογραφία</strong></span></a><br /><br />Το 2005 συστάθηκε μια <a href="https://apsida.cut.ac.cy/collections/show/485"><span style="text-decoration: underline;"><strong>διεπιστημονική ομάδα στο Αριστοτέλειο Πανεπιστήμιο Θεσσαλονίκης</strong></span></a>, η οποία διερευνά τον Μηχανισμό των Αντικυθήρων.

AKM_Model_4 to1
Abstract
A summary of the resource.
The model constitutes the biggest model ever manufactured by the Aristotle University of Thessaloniki team. The replica's size is four times larger than the original and is now located at the town hall of the Municipality of Kythera and Antikythera islands, to whom the Antikythera island belongs and where the Mechanism was found. It is made from transparent materials providing the visitor the opportunity to discern the internal side of the Mechanism and its components. Due to its size, every scale and engraved text of the Antikythera Mechanism is easily discernible and legible, respectively.
It was constructed in 2016 and constitutes the only model in such size manufactured by the academic team of the Aristotle University of Thessaloniki.
Every new model constructed by the team includes the most recent information resulting from the continuing research.
Το μοντέλο αυτό είναι το μεγαλύτερο σε μέγεθος μοντέλο που κατασκεύασε η ομάδα. Είναι τέσσερις φορές μεγαλύτερο απο το αυθεντικό (κλίμακα 4:1) και βρίσκεται στον Δήμο Κυθήρων και Αντικυθήρων στον οποίο ανήκει το νησί των Αντικυθήρων, όπου βρέθηκε ο αρχαίος Μηχανισμός. Είναι κατασκευασμένο απο διαφανή υλικά επιτρέποντας στον επισκέπτη να διακρίνει το εσωτερικό του Μηχανισμού και όλα τα εξαρτήματα που τον αποτελούν. Λόγω του μεγέθους του είναι πολύ ευδιάκριτες όλες οι κλίμακες του Μηχανισμού και ευανάγνωστα όλα τα κείμενα και τα σύμβολα, τα οποία είναι χαραγμένα στις εξωτερικές πλάκες.
Κατασκευάστηκε το 2016 και αποτελεί κατασκευή αποκλειστικά για τον Δήμο Κυθήρων και Αντικυθήρων αλλά και το μοναδικό μοντέλο σε αυτό το μέγεθος που κατασκεύασε η ομάδα έρευνας του Μηχανισμού του Αριστοτελείου Πανεπιστημίου Θεσσαλονίκης.
Κάθε νέο μοντέλο που κατασκευάζει η ομάδα επικαιροποιείται με τα νέα στοιχεία που προκύπτουν απο την συνεχιζόμενη έρευνα.

AKM_Model_3 to1
Abstract
A summary of the resource.
The replica's size is three times larger than the original Antikythera Mechanism. The shafts and pointers are made from bronze, while the scales and the gears are made from transparent materials. This provides the visitor the opportunity to discern every scale of the Mechanism and read every text and symbol engraved on its external sides. In this manner, the visitor can observe the movements of the gears and the shafts while operating. Due to this transparency, most museums prefer this model to the remainder and the specific replica is exhibited at the National Observatory in Athens, at the Herakleidon Museum and at the Childern's Museum of Indianapolis, USA. Replicas have been constructed in 2017, 2018 and 2019.
Every new model constructed by the team includes the most recent information resulting from the continuing research.
Το μοντέλο αυτό είναι τρεις φορές μεγαλύτερο σε μέγεθος απο τον αυθεντικό Μηχανισμό. Οι άξονες και οι δείκτες είναι κατασκευασμένοι απο μπρούντζο, ενώ οι κλίμακες των ενδείξεων και οι οδοντωτοί τροχοί είναι κατασκευασμένοι απο διαφανή υλικά καθιστώντας πολύ ευδιάκριτες όλες τις κλίμακες του Μηχανισμού και ευανάγνωστα όλα τα κείμενα και τα σύμβολα, τα οποία είναι χαραγμένα στις εξωτερικές πλάκες. Με αυτόν τον τρόπο επιτρέπει στον επισκέπτη να διακρίνει εύκολα όλα τα χαραγμένα κείμενα και να παρατηρήσει στο εσωτερικό του Μηχανισμού τις κινήσεις των οδοντοτών τροχών και των αξόνων κατά τη λειτουργία του. Λόγω αυτών των ιδιοτήτων του αποτελεί το μοντέλο που προτιμάται περισσότερο απο τα Μουσεία. Το συγκεκριμένο μοντέλο εκτείθεται στο Εθνικό Αστεροσκοπείο Αθηνών στο Θησείο, στο Μουσείο Ηρακλειδών στην Αθήνα και στο Children's Museum στην Ινδιανάπολη των ΗΠΑ. Μοντέλα αυτού του είδους κατασκευάστηκαν το 2017, 2018, 2019.

Abstract
A summary of the resource.
The model is fully functional, identical in dimensions to the original Mechanism which resulted from the multi-year study of the ancient Mechanism, constructed from the same material and assembled in the same way as the original one.
It was constructed in 2016 and constitutes the third model built by the academic team of Aristotle University of Thessaloniki.
Every new model constructed by the team includes the most recent information resulted from the continuing research.
On the specific model more letters and characters are engraved, which emerged from the international study of the Antikythera Mechanism within the five years gap between the manufacturing of the last model in 2011.

Three facets of the Antikythera Mechanism's physical model in the box and a view of the model without the box.
Το φυσικό μοντέλο του Μηχανισμού των Αντικυθήρων ολοκληρωμένο και το ίδιο μοντέλο πριν τοποθετηθεί στο ξύλινο κιβώτιό του.
Abstract
A summary of the resource.
The replica is fully functional and has the same dimensions as the ancient Mechanism which occurred after the careful examination of the CT scans of the Antikythera Mechanism. The purpose of its construction is the ascertainment of the accuracy of the astronomical predictions of the original Mechanism. Due to the transient motion of the Earth, the zodiac signs' dates were shifted by one degree every seventy two years compared to the ancient times. For this reason, the zodiac signs attested on the front side of the Mechanism was replaced by the present picture of the sky.
In that way, we are given the opportunity to predict astronomical phenomena for our times and taking into account respective scientific predictions to ascertain the accuracy of the Mechanism's predictions. The specific model is constructed from the same material and assembled in the same way as the original.
For monitoring reasons, the indication plates have been manufactured by transparent materials in order its internal side to be visible.
It was constructed in 2019 and constitutes the most recent model constructed by the academic team of Aristotle University of Thessaloniki investigating the Antikythera Mechanism.
Every new model constructed by the team includes the most recent information resulted from the continuing research.
Το μοντέλο αυτό είναι λειτουργικό και κατασκευασμένο με τις ίδιες διαστάσεις του πρωτότυπου, οι οποίες προέκυψαν απο τη μελέτη των τομογραφιών των θραυσμάτων του αρχαίου Μηχανισμού. Το μοντέλο αυτό κατασκευάστηκε για την εξακρίβωση της ακρίβειας των αστρονομικών προβλέψεων του Μηχανισμού.
Δια τον λόγο αυτό στην εμπρόσθια όψη του Μηχανισμού, η κλίμακα των ζωδιακών αστερισμών αντικαταστάθηκε με την σημερινή εικόνα του ουρανού.
Αυτό έγινε διότι μετά την παρέλευση περισσοτέρων απο δυο χιλιάδων ετών απο την κατασκευή του Μηχανισμού οι ζωδιακοί αστερισμοί μετατοπίστηκαν όσον αφορά τις ημερομηνίες εμφάνισής τους στον ουρανό σε σχέση με την Αρχαιότητα λόγω της μεταπτωτικής πορείας της Γης που έχει σαν αποτέλεσμα την μετατόπιση της εμφάνισης των αστερισμών κατά περίπου μία μοίρα ανα 72 χρόνια. Με αυτόν τον τρόπο, δίνεται η δυνατότητα προβλέψεων αστρονομικών φαινομένων για την σημερινή εποχή και έχοντας υπόψην αντίστοιχες επιστημονικές προβλέψεις να διακριβώσουμε την ακρίβεια των προβλέψεων του Μηχανισμού.
Το μοντέλο είναι κατασκευασμένο με τα ίδια υλικά και τον ίδιο τρόπο συναρμολογήσης όπως και το πρωτότυπο. Κάθε νέο μοντέλο που κατασκευάζει η ομάδα επικαιροποιείται με τα νέα στοιχεία που προκύπτουν απο την συνεχιζόμενη έρευνα.
Για λόγους εποπτείας οι πλάκες των ενδείξεων έχουν κατασκευαστεί απο διαφανή υλικά για να είναι ορατό το εσωτερικό του Μηχανισμού.
Κατασκευάστηκε το 2019 και αποτελεί το τελευταίο μοντέλο που κατασκεύασε η ομάδα έρευνας του Μηχανισμού του Αριστοτελείου Πανεπιστημίου Θεσσαλονίκης.

Description
An account of the resource
The specific model has exactly the same dimensions as the original Antikythera Mechanism.
Το συγκεκριμένο μοντέλο είναι κατασκευασμένο με τις ίδιες διαστάσεις του πρωτοτύπου.
Abstract
A summary of the resource.
The model is fully functional, identical in dimensions to the original Mechanism and resulted from the multi-year study of the ancient Mechanism, constructed from the same material and assembled in the same way as the original one.
It was constructed in 2011 and constitutes the second model built by the academic team of the Aristotle University of Thessaloniki.
Every new model constructed by the team includes the most recent information resulting from the continuing research.
Το μοντέλο αυτό είναι λειτουργικό και κατασκευασμένο με τις ίδιες διαστάσεις του πρωτότυπου, οι οποίες προέκυψαν απο τη μελέτη των τομογραφιών των θραυσμάτων του αρχαίου Μηχανισμού και με τα ίδια υλικά και τον ίδιο τρόπο συναρμολογήσης.
Κατασκευάστηκε το 2011 και αποτελεί το δεύτερο μοντέλο που κατασκεύασε η ομάδα έρευνας του Μηχανισμού του Αριστοτελείου Πανεπιστημίου Θεσσαλονίκης.
Κάθε νέο μοντέλο που κατασκευάζει η ομάδα επικαιροποιείται με τα νέα στοιχεία που προκύπτουν απο την συνεχιζόμενη έρευνα.

Abstract
A summary of the resource.
In 2005, a new study began, in which new technologies were used to investigate the Antikythera Mechanism. In 2008, after the publication of the first results in the scientific journal Nature, Ioannis Seiradakis, Professor of Astronomy at the Aristotle University of Thessaloniki (AUTH), a key member of the research team and co-authors of the article presented the results of this research in a lecture at AUTH.
After the lecture, a discussion between I. Seiradakis and the Professor of Mechanical Engineering of the Aristotle University of Thessaloniki, Mr. Kyriakos Efstathiou, showed that the team of scientists participating in the research of the Mechanism did not include, up to that point, a Mechanical Engineer or any other Engineer. Considering that the Antikythera Mechanism is a mechanical devise, the involvement of a Mechanical Engineer in the research was discussed. At the same time, following the initiative of Professor I. Seiradakis, the preparation of a doctoral dissertation on the Antikythera Mechanism by Magdalini Anastasiou began. Mrs M. Anastasiou had studied Archaeology, Astronomy and Computational Physics. Professor Seiradakis suggested that the three-member advisory committee of this dissertation had to be interdisciplinary due to the nature of the subject and consist of him as Professor of Astronomy, Professor of Mechanical Engineering, Mr. Efstathiou, and Professor of Archaeology, Ms. Stella Drougou.
It was soon decided to set up an interdisciplinary team to investigate the Mechanism at the Aristotle University of Thessaloniki, which initially included Professor I. Seiradakis, Professor K. Efstathiou, Professor S. Drougou, the Doctoral candidate Magdalini Anastasiou, expanded with the Mechanical Engineers, Alexandros Basiakoulis and Marianna Efstathiou. A short time later the team expanded further to include Manos Roumeliotis, Professor of Informatics at the University of Macedonia and Lefteris Anastasovitis, an IT graduate.
The team members have published numerous articles in international scientific journals and conferences and have given a series of lectures and interviews on the Antikythera Mechanism, such as a presentation of the Mechanism at the European Parliament and at NASA's facilities in the United States.
The team has manufactured and continues to do various functional models of the Mechanism, which are in various museums and organisations such as the National Archaeological Museum in Athens, where the model is exhibited next to the fragments of the Mechanism, the National Observatory of Athens, the Science Centre and Technology Museum “NOESIS” in Thessaloniki, Greece, the Aristotle University of Thessaloniki, the Municipality of Kythera island, Greece, the Musée des Arts et Métiers, Paris, the Herakleidon Museum in Athens, Greece and the Children's Museum of Indianapolis, USA.
By invitation from various organisations the team has organised several exhibitions on the Antikythera Mechanism in various parts of the world.
Το 2005, ξεκίνησε μια νέα έρευνα για τον Μηχανισμό των Αντικυθήρων στην οποία χρησιμοποιήθηκαν νέες τεχνολογίες για την διερεύνηση του. Το 2008, μετά τη δημοσίευση των πρώτων αποτελεσμάτων, στο επιστημονικό περιοδικό Nature, ο Ιωάννης Σειραδάκης, Καθηγητής Αστρονομίας του ΑΠΘ και ένας από τους συν-συγγραφείς του άρθρου, παρουσίασε τα αποτελέσματα της έρευνας αυτής σε μια διάλεξη στο Αριστοτέλειο Πανεπιστήμιο Θεσσαλονίκης (ΑΠΘ).
Μετά τη διάλεξη, σε μια συζήτηση με τον καθηγητή Μηχανολογίας του ΑΠΘ, κ. Ευσταθίου, προέκυψε ότι η ομάδα των επιστημόνων που συμμετείχε μέχρι εκείνη τη στιγμή στην έρευνα του Μηχανισμού δεν περιλάμβανε κανένα Μηχανολόγο και γενικότερα κανένα επιστήμονα της Μηχανικής. Λαμβάνοντας υπόψιν ότι ο Μηχανισμός των Αντικυθήρων είναι, κατά βάση, ένας μηχανολογικός μηχανισμός συζητήθηκε η εμπλοκή Μηχανολόγου Μηχανικού στην έρευνα. Παράλληλα με πρωτοβουλία του Καθηγητή Ι. Σειραδάκη ξεκίνησε η εκπόνηση μιας διδακτορικής διατριβής με θέμα τον Μηχανισμό των Αντικυθήρων από την Μαγδαληνή Αναστασίου, Αρχαιολόγο με σπουδές στην αστρονομία και στην υπολογιστική φυσική. Ο Καθηγητής Σειραδάκης πρότεινε η τριμελής επιτροπή της διατριβής αυτής να είναι διεπιστημονική λόγω και της φύσης του αντικειμένου και να αποτελείται από τον ίδιο ως Καθηγητή Αστρονομίας, τον Καθηγητή Μηχανολογίας, κ. Ευσταθίου και την Καθηγήτρια Αρχαιολογίας, κα Στέλλα Δρούγου.
Πολύ σύντομα αποφασίστηκε να δημιουργηθεί διεπιστημονική ομάδα στο ΑΠΘ διερεύνησης του Μηχανισμού, η οποία αρχικά περιλάμβανε τους προαναφερόμενους καθηγητές και την υποψήφια διδάκτορα πολύ σύντομα επεκτάθηκε με τους Μηχανολόγους Μηχανικούς, Αλέξανδρο Μπασιακούλη και Μαριάννα Ευσταθίου και, και τον αρχαιολόγο, Αλέξανδρο Τούρτα. Η ομάδα διευρύνθηκε ακόμα περισσότερο, περιλαμβάνοντας και τον Καθηγητή Η/Υ στο Πανεπιστήμιο Μακεδονίας, Μάνο Ρουμελιώτη, και τον Λευτέρη Αναστασοβίτη, Διπλωματούχο της Πληροφορικής.
Τα μέλη της ομάδας έχουν δημοσιεύσει πολλά άρθρα σε διεθνή επιστημονικά περιοδικά και συνέδρια και έδωσαν σειρά διαλέξεων και συνεντεύξεων σχετικά με τον Μηχανισμό των Αντικυθήρων, όπως παρουσίαση του Μηχανισμού στο Ευρωπαϊκό Κοινοβούλιο και στις εγκαταστάσεις της NASA στις ΗΠΑ.
Η ομάδα κατασκεύασε και συνεχίζει να κατασκευάζει διάφορα λειτουργικά μοντέλα του Μηχανισμού, τα οποία βρίσκονται σε διάφορα μουσεία και οργανισμούς όπως: στο Εθνικό Αρχαιολογικό Μουσείο Αθηνών όπου το μοντέλο είναι τοποθετημένο δίπλα στα θραύσματα του αρχαίου Μηχανισμού, στο Εθνικό Αστεροσκοπείο Αθηνών στο Θησείο, στο Κέντρο Διάδοσης Επιστημών & Τεχνολογίας (ΝΟΗΣΗΣ) στη Θεσσαλονίκη, στο κτίριο της Επιτροπής Ερευνών του ΑΠΘ, στο Αστεροσκοπείο του ΑΠΘ, στο Δήμο Κυθήρων & Αντικυθήρων, στο μουσείο Musée des Arts et Métiersστο Παρίσι, στο Μουσείο Ηρακλειδών στην Αθήνα και στο the Children's Museum στην Ινδιανάπολη των ΗΠΑ.
Μετά από πρόσκληση διαφόρων φορέων, οργάνωσαν εκθέσεις για τον Μηχανισμό των Αντικυθήρων σε διάφορα μέρη του κόσμου.

In 2008, after the publication of the first results in the scientific journal Nature, Ioannis Seiradakis, Professor of Astronomy at the Aristotle University of Thessaloniki (AUTH), a key member of the research team and co-authors of the article presented the results of this research in a lecture at AUTH.
After the lecture, a discussion between I. Seiradakis and the Professor of Mechanical Engineering of the Aristotle University of Thessaloniki, Mr. Kyriakos Efstathiou, showed that the team of scientists participating in the research of the Mechanism did not include, up to that point, a Mechanical Engineer or any other Engineer. Considering that the Antikythera Mechanism is a mechanical devise, the involvement of a Mechanical Engineer in the research was discussed. At the same time, following the initiative of Professor I. Seiradakis, the preparation of a doctoral dissertation on the Antikythera Mechanism by Magdalini Anastasiou began. Mrs M. Anastasiou had studied Archaeology, Astronomy and Computational Physics. Professor Seiradakis suggested that the three-member advisory committee of this dissertation had to be interdisciplinary due to the nature of the subject and consist of him as Professor of Astronomy, Professor of Mechanical Engineering, Mr. Efstathiou, and Professor of Archaeology, Ms. Stella Drougou.
It was soon decided to set up an interdisciplinary team to investigate the Mechanism at the Aristotle University of Thessaloniki, which initially included Professor I. Seiradakis, Professor K. Efstathiou, Professor S. Drougou, the Doctoral candidate Magdalini Anastasiou, expanded with the Mechanical Engineers, Alexandros Basiakoulis and Marianna Efstathiou. A short time later the team expanded further to include Manos Roumeliotis, Professor of Informatics at the University of Macedonia and Lefteris Anastasovitis, an IT graduate.
The team members have published numerous articles in international scientific journals and conferences and have given a series of lectures and interviews on the Antikythera Mechanism, such as a presentation of the Mechanism at the European Parliament and at NASA's facilities in the United States.
The team has manufactured and continues to make various functional models of the Mechanism, which are in various museums and organisations such as the National Archaeological Museum in Athens, where the model is exhibited next to the fragments of the Mechanism, the National Observatory of Athens, the Science Centre and Technology Museum “NOESIS” in Thessaloniki, Greece, the Aristotle University of Thessaloniki, the Municipality of Kythera island, Greece, the Musée des Arts et Métiers, Paris, the Herakleidon Museum in Athens, Greece and the Children's Museum of Indianapolis, USA.
By invitation from various organisations the team has organised several exhibitions on the Antikythera Mechanism in various parts of the world.
Το 2005, ξεκίνησε μια νέα έρευνα για τον Μηχανισμό των Αντικυθήρων στην οποία χρησιμοποιήθηκαν νέες τεχνολογίες για την διερεύνηση του. Το 2008, μετά τη δημοσίευση των πρώτων αποτελεσμάτων, στο επιστημονικό περιοδικό Nature, ο Ιωάννης Σειραδάκης, Καθηγητής Αστρονομίας του ΑΠΘ και ένας από τους συν-συγγραφείς του άρθρου, παρουσίασε τα αποτελέσματα της έρευνας αυτής σε μια διάλεξη στο Αριστοτέλειο Πανεπιστήμιο Θεσσαλονίκης (ΑΠΘ).
Μετά τη διάλεξη, σε μια συζήτηση με τον καθηγητή Μηχανολογίας του ΑΠΘ, κ. Ευσταθίου, προέκυψε ότι η ομάδα των επιστημόνων που συμμετείχε μέχρι εκείνη τη στιγμή στην έρευνα του Μηχανισμού δεν περιλάμβανε κανένα Μηχανολόγο και γενικότερα κανένα επιστήμονα της Μηχανικής. Λαμβάνοντας υπόψιν ότι ο Μηχανισμός των Αντικυθήρων είναι, κατά βάση, ένας μηχανολογικός μηχανισμός συζητήθηκε η εμπλοκή Μηχανολόγου Μηχανικού στην έρευνα. Παράλληλα με πρωτοβουλία του Καθηγητή Ι. Σειραδάκη ξεκίνησε η εκπόνηση μιας διδακτορικής διατριβής με θέμα τον Μηχανισμό των Αντικυθήρων από την Μαγδαληνή Αναστασίου, Αρχαιολόγο με σπουδές στην αστρονομία και στην υπολογιστική φυσική. Ο Καθηγητής Σειραδάκης πρότεινε η τριμελής επιτροπή της διατριβής αυτής να είναι διεπιστημονική λόγω και της φύσης του αντικειμένου και να αποτελείται από τον ίδιο ως Καθηγητή Αστρονομίας, τον Καθηγητή Μηχανολογίας, κ. Ευσταθίου και την Καθηγήτρια Αρχαιολογίας, κα Στέλλα Δρούγου.
Πολύ σύντομα αποφασίστηκε να δημιουργηθεί διεπιστημονική ομάδα στο ΑΠΘ διερεύνησης του Μηχανισμού, η οποία αρχικά περιλάμβανε τους προαναφερόμενους καθηγητές και την υποψήφια διδάκτορα πολύ σύντομα επεκτάθηκε με τους Μηχανολόγους Μηχανικούς, Αλέξανδρο Μπασιακούλη και Μαριάννα Ευσταθίου και τον αρχαιολόγο, Αλέξανδρο Τούρτα. Η ομάδα διευρύνθηκε ακόμα περισσότερο, περιλαμβάνοντας και τον Καθηγητή Η/Υ στο Πανεπιστήμιο Μακεδονίας, Μάνο Ρουμελιώτη, και τον Λευτέρη Αναστασοβίτη, Διπλωματούχο της Πληροφορικής.
Τα μέλη της ομάδας έχουν δημοσιεύσει πολλά άρθρα σε διεθνή επιστημονικά περιοδικά και συνέδρια και έδωσαν σειρά διαλέξεων και συνεντεύξεων σχετικά με τον Μηχανισμό των Αντικυθήρων, όπως παρουσίαση του Μηχανισμού στο Ευρωπαϊκό Κοινοβούλιο και στις εγκαταστάσεις της NASA στις ΗΠΑ.
Η ομάδα κατασκεύασε και συνεχίζει να κατασκευάζει διάφορα λειτουργικά μοντέλα του Μηχανισμού, τα οποία βρίσκονται σε διάφορα μουσεία και οργανισμούς όπως: στο Εθνικό Αρχαιολογικό Μουσείο Αθηνών όπου το μοντέλο είναι τοποθετημένο δίπλα στα θραύσματα του αρχαίου Μηχανισμού, στο Εθνικό Αστεροσκοπείο Αθηνών στο Θησείο, στο Κέντρο Διάδοσης Επιστημών & Τεχνολογίας (ΝΟΗΣΗΣ) στη Θεσσαλονίκη, στο κτίριο της Επιτροπής Ερευνών του ΑΠΘ, στο Αστεροσκοπείο του ΑΠΘ, στο Δήμο Κυθήρων & Αντικυθήρων, στο μουσείο Musée des Arts et Métiersστο Παρίσι, στο Μουσείο Ηρακλειδών στην Αθήνα και στο the Children's Museum στην Ινδιανάπολη των ΗΠΑ.
Μετά από πρόσκληση διαφόρων φορέων, η ομάδα οργάνωσε εκθέσεις για τον Μηχανισμό των Αντικυθήρων σε διάφορα μέρη του κόσμου.
