that is true. the mechanism shows us that they definitely had some mechanism making culture going on. my point is that, despite how bizzare and sophisticated it sounds, this sort of thing was 100% doable for their level of tech, and that it is us who have misunderstood history. the hype surrounding it, making it sound like a supernatural creation and way more intelligent than it actually is, is bs.
anthoer thing is that this machine clearly wasn't the first draft. not only do we have those mentions of "spheres", but there aren't that many mistakes we see in the construction of the mechanism (apart from the dovetail joint). clearly the layout of the gears was planned beforehand, or they did trial-and-error with the gears on another version of the mechanism.
if you will it hard enough it can even play crysis.
seriously, most of the hype for this thingy comes from some random documentary directors who thought the ancient greeks were as intelligent as monkeys and such. anyone who says this is an alien invention is basically insulting any intelligent life who has come far enough to go interstellar

essentially a terminal modal editor (like vim), but instead of specifying the action to perform then what to perform the action on (like "yank 3 lines"), in helix you select first, then perform actions on the selection (like "these 3 lines, i want them yanked"). it's slightly better (according to others) because you get to see what you're going to change in the file so you don't accidentally delete 5 lines instead of deleting 4.
on top of that many features are builtin, like tree-sitter and lsp support, so you don't have to spend 5 hours looking for cool plugins and configuring everything to get started (my config file is only 50 lines of toml).
the downside is that there isn't support for plugins (yet), but there's already things like a file picker, more than 100 themes etc.
