This is a great documentary about the Antikythera Mechanism. It's a 2000 year old computer lol. It amazes me how intelligent the human race always has been
This is on bbci player so i'm not sure if non uk residents can watch it but if you can't there's stuff about it on youtube.
This new documentary reckons it could have been archimedes who made this thing, fascinating stuff!.
The intricate workings of this thing are unbelievable considering how old it is.
Enjoy,
