Scientists have managed to recreate what is thought to be the oldest computing device. I'm never complaining about the state any technology is in after seeing this lol :eek:

Odyssey doesn't have chariots, and as was meant be Greek GTA I need some vehicle. And as Cleopatra was a ptolemy (so Greek as well as Egyptian) still fits in with Greeks and from the correct time period the machine is dated to. Odyssey would actually be slightly to early in history

No chariots ? I would have supposed they would have been in purpose of improvement as i know odissey where released after origins
