Has anyone heard of the antikythera mechanism? It is an ancient computer, thought to have been built between 150-100 BC. It was found in the early 1900s and is extremely complex and advanced, especially for its time. Research is still being done on the piece, but it seems to be for calculating certain astronomical figures.I recently ran across something that mentioned it and thought I would look it up. It really is an intriguing device due to its complexity and function- it actually uses technology that is comparable to that developed during the 14th century.some more info: http://www.math.sunysb.edu/~tony/whatsnew/column/antikytheraI-0400/kyth1.html Any theories on it?
