No, Archaeologists Probably Did Not Find a New Piece of the Antikythera Mechanism

***************************************

How do they know? That Bull piece might be a cover plate for the antikythera gizmo!

That antikythera gizmo might have been nothing more than a really complicated alarm clock to remind a farmer to feed his livestock!

Or something.

The bull doesn't fit anywhere. The layers of non-invasive scans done on the A.M. revealed thousands of Greek letters engraved on the bronze, including sentences of text which explained functions and such. This permitted the virtual reconstruction of the entire machine, including missing gears and other parts.
