The
Antikythera mechanism is a metallic device which consists of at least 30
different types of gears, and on the mechanism’s door plates are about 2,000
letters that are considered to be something like a usage manual. One word
stands out clearly: ΚΟΣΜΟΥ, meaning “cosmos”. The amazing device is so complex
that many consider it to be the first human-made analogue computer.

The
Antikythera wreck in the Aegean Sea is a world-famous underwater
archaeological site thrown into the spotlight in 1900 when researchers
discovered an incredible mechanical device, now known as the Antikythera mechanism,
which dates back more than 2,000 years. The device consists of a
complex combination of gears that took decades for scientists to
decipher. Archaeologists suspect that there is much more to be found
within the Antikythera wreck and today, a daring new mission is being
launched to re-examine the wreck, which lies at an extreme diving depth
of 120 metres. - See more at:
