Full Resolution PTM Downloads of the
Antikythera Mechanism

 

Content starts here
These  PTMs were constructed from images of all known remaining surfaces of the Antikythera Mechanism housed in National Archeological Museum in Athens, Greece. The PTMs were constructed from images taken under varying lighting directions by Tom Malzbender, Dan Gelb and members of the Antikythera Mechanism Research Project during the week of Sept. 12, 2005. Each PTMs has a resolution of 3008 x 2000 and is >50Mb in size, so be patient during a download. These PTM files can be viewed interactively on the Windows or Linux platform by downloading the  publically available PTM Viewer. Using this viewer, it is possible to transform the reflectance functions by the techniques of specular enhancement and diffuse gain to allow more detail to be seen.
 
Smaller versions of several of these PTMs can be viewed using an interactive JavaScript viewer that does not require an explicit download here.

PTM Numbering Cross Reference

A cross reference between the PTM numbering scheme shown above and the standard nomenclature for the Antikythera Mechanism fragments was compiled by Herb Johnson and is available here.
