The world’s oldest computer predates Bill
Gates only by about 2,000 years. In fact, the absolutely mind-boggling
Antikythera Mechanism – a corroded clocklike object found among the
ruins of a sunken ship – may prove that
advanced scientifictechnology existed far earlier than we ever thought
possible. Scientists have since discovered that this mysterious Greek
invention predicted solar eclipses, organized the calendar in four-year
cycles, and may well be linked to renowned astrologer and engineer
Archimedes. Though no other such mechanisms have ever been found,
experts believe that many more made around the same time in 100 B.C.E.
once existed.
