I’m simply fascinated by the beauty of its design. Was it a one-off custom piece? The amount of time and effort to produce it must have been, pun fully intended, “astronomical”.

@DrFix: The energy and industry that ancient people put into things like is truly awe-inspiring. No aliens needed; just hard work and brain power.
