  1. The Greeks certainly had some very sophisticated workshop techniques in the period a couple of hundred years either way of the founding of Christianity (I refuse to get into the "did Christ really exist" arguement). The Antikythera Mechanism proves that aside from what else it may have been. Those corroded lumps of bronze didnt just spring from the inventors imagination with no background in terms of geared mechanisms. The question here in my mind is were those craftsman free craftsman or highly trained slaves. There in lies the rub. For the Greeks, or Roman's or any other ancient culture that depended economically on slavery their simply isn't the societal push to develop industrial technology.
