That was very interesting. It makes one wonder: what else did the Greeks know? Where did they get the knowledge to make such a mechanism? In astrology, the Greek and Hindu systems have some similarities. For example, both systems use the same 12 signs of the zodiac. And, the lords of these zodiac signs are the same. So, it appears that these two systems either came from a common source, or that the two systems borrowed from each other at one point in the ancient past.
