Unraveling the Mysteries of Alleged Ancient Civilizations and Their Lost Technologies
3. The Antikythera Mechanism: A Greek Astronomical Puzzle
Recovered from a shipwreck off the Greek island of Antikythera in 1901, this ancient analog computer dates back to around 100 BC. Its intricate gears and dials were used to predict astronomical positions and eclipses decades in advance. The sophistication of the Antikythera Mechanism suggests that ancient Greek scientists had a deep understanding of celestial mechanics, rivaling the knowledge of 18th-century astronomers.
