The Antikythera Mechanism
The Antikythera Mechanism – that's the gears and stuff found in 1900 in a shipwreck from about 150-100 BC. We'll start with the cool link with the pictures: http://www.neatorama.com/2009/11/30/...-be-so-modern/ Scroll down, there's a video clip of the finished project. and the 'home page' http://www.antikythera-mechanism.gr/ with links to radiographic scans, and other fun things. |

Lots of cool stuff. Personally, I suspect the Antikythera Mechanism was the dialing part of a cell phone. The ancients didn't have the technology to develop the rubber push buttons we have now. --Vic |
