The Antikythera Mechanism was discovered in 1900 by divers near the Greek island of Antikythera in the remains of a Roman-era shipwreck. It is an ancient analog computer used to predict astronomical positions and eclipses. Over decades of study using x-rays and CT scanning, it was determined to contain a complex system of 30 bronze gears that calculated astronomical cycles. Modern reconstructions show it could track the positions of the sun and moon, and possibly the planets, over centuries. It demonstrates an advanced knowledge of astronomy and mechanical engineering that was highly advanced for its time.
