Both remind some of those built in the "3-body problem".

My pet peeve is that even at Antikythera times they could have, if they had knowledge, built electronic devices - copper wire needle contact with crystalized molten sand gives you a diode junction, add a wire - transistor, and leather, brine, copper disks - electricity.
