The Antikythera Mechanism is now understood to be dedicated to astronomical phenomena and operates as a complex mechanical 'computer' which tracks the cycles of the Solar System.
Mike G. Edmunds and colleagues used imaging and high-resolution X-ray tomography to study fragments of the Antikythera Mechanism, a bronze mechanical analog computer thought to calculate astronomical positions
It was a mechanical computer for calculating lunar, solar, and stellar calendars.
The Antikythera mechanism, as it is now known, was probably the world's first 'analog computer' – a sophisticated device for calculating the motions of stars and planets. This remarkable assembly of more than 30 gears with a differential...

(trợ giúp)"This device is extraordinary, the only thing of its kind," said Professor Edmunds. "The astronomy is exactly right... in terms of historic and scarcity value, I have to regard this mechanism as being more valuable than the Mona Lisa." and "One of the remaining mysteries is why the Greek technology invented for the machine seemed to disappear."
Imagine tossing a top-notch laptop into the sea, leaving scientists from a foreign culture to scratch their heads over its corroded remains centuries later. A Roman shipmaster inadvertently did something just like it 2,000 years ago off southern Greece, experts said late Thursday.
