kynran rated 8 weeks ago- from the page: A 2,100-year-old clockwork machine whose remains were retrieved from a shipwreck more than a century ago has turned out to be the celestial super-computer of the ancient world. No Shit! (my comment)

- Shows just how much knowledge we lost during the Dark Ages of domination by religious authorities.

- From the page: "Using 21st-century technology to peer beneath the surface of the encrusted gearwheels, stunned scientists say the so-called Antikythera Mechanism could predict the ballet of the Sun and Moon over decades and calculate a lunar anomaly that would bedevil Isaac Newton himself."

- A 2,100-year-old super-computer.
Wonder if when it was cleaned up and opened if they found a "Hello world" program still running in Greek. - A 2,100-year-old super-computer.

- Way ahead of it's time, a complex celestial machine made by the Greek some 2100 years ago!

- The Antikythera Mechanism is named after its place of discovery, where Greek divers, exploring a Roman shipwreck, came across 82 curious bronze fragments. At first, these pieces, thickly encrusted and jammed together after lying more two millennia on the sea floor, lay forgotten. But a closer look showed them to be exquisitely made, hand-cut, toothed gearwheels.
