Ancient Greek engineer · Scientists

Abdaraxus was an ancient engineer mentioned in Laterculi Alexandrini as the one "who built the machines in Alexandria".

Abdaraxus is read about 4 times a day, in 6 languages.

A typical day, 30 days to 16 October 2026

The middle day of the days counted, so one week of news cannot move it. The line under it is the last 58 days, one point a day.
