Wonder if there are common origins of Antikhytera and Sanskrit word for cosmos, Antariksha.
Archimedes in the Sand Reckoner cites to be solving on a problem from the "Eastern Philosophers". The problem is also in the Vajra Sutra where the numbers of sands in the cosmos is contemplated.
Archimedes Father was an astronomer.
Great parallel lives material that never maid it into the original.
The Antikytheron is written in a Corinthian dialect, from where Archimdes father is said to have come from.
My musing consiracy theory for the Roman sacking of Syracuse was for the Antikythera from which harvest and thus taxes could be better calculated - i.e. Thales.
But the Romans killed the only guy who understood how the Antikythera worked.... so it became a generals paper weight.
