World's Oldest Computer Antikythera Mechanism is More Ancient than Previously Thought : SCIENCE : Tech Times



"The Antikythera was capable of calculating phases of the Moon, positions
of planets, and eclipses. The technology, more than 2,000 years old,
predates other inventions by more than 1,000 years. Astronomical
predictions are carried out utilizing around 40 differential gears and
cogs. The mechanism was found in a shipwreck by sponge divers in the
year 1900."
