This makes a great follow up to Randall Carlson’s talk on .
The idea that this ancient vase—and many others like it—was made with hand tools is laughably stupid. It almost certainly required a computer (a Turing machine). The machine technology required to manufacture a granite object to this level of precision might even be beyond what we have today.
It could have had a practical purpose, but the sophisticated mathematics of the design alone make it a marvel.
