    Nope. Not a calculator.

        Correct Shining!! Good job!

        If you're interested in reading about it:
        It seems in regard to electronic design, touchscreens are in and anything tactile is out. Tao Ma sees it the other way around. The Quartz Tele concept uses large quartz crystals for each numeric number on a dial pad. Below each crystal is an embedded LED. Pressing each crystal illuminates it like a transformer's energon

                      Clock or a calendar

                      Maybe it calculates the phases of the moon?

                        Yes, it does have something to do with astronomy ... but not the phases of the moon really. This is a reconstruction though

                          Does it calculate the position of the planets?

                          By the sun and moon on it maybe it predicts eclipses.

                            YES, Jack You are correct! I don't expect the name of it so I will tell the name. It is the Antikythera mechanism. Found off the Greek island of Antikythera and dated to about 150-100 BC. Your turn
