## Where it stands

**Disputed** One piece of evidence for, one against. It needs two reviews to be accepted.

## What it predicts

- The best-fit count is neither 354 nor 365 and a design rationale exists for it.

## What would rule it out

- The fits converge on 354 or 365 once uncertainties are modelled.

## Evidence 1 for · 1 against

[Dickens and Malin's best estimate is 352.3, below 354, though they judge 354 far more likely than 365.](https://mysteriesdept.com/mysteries/antikythera-mechanism/evidence/EVD0D3FQ8QA1VDR/dickens-and-malins-best-estimate-is-352-3-below-354-though)

Most likelyThe ring had 354 holes, a lunar year, so the Egyptian calendar ring sat over a lunar-year scale
