It is an amazing device. Really cool that modern technology has allowed us to re-create it, and get a better understanding of what the ancients knew. One speculation was that the device was made for Archimedes himself, but the boat sinking kept it from him. It would have to have been made for someone wealthy enough, and educated enough to use it.
Many people believe that the anchient humans were just not as smart as we are, and that is simply not true. Homo Sapiens intelligence is basically the same for the last 250,000 years.
