Excerpt: The Antikythera mechanism ( -i-ki--ə or -i--ə-rə) is an ancient analog computer designed to calculate astronomical positions. It was recovered in 1900-1901 from the Antikythera wreck, but its significance and complexity were not understood until a century later. Jacques Cousteau visited...
