Anticitera meccanismo - La complessità tecnologica dell'apparato faceva pensare a un moderno strumento a orologeria affondato con la nave
The discovery of this calculating machine is so significant that part of the history of ancient technology must be rewritten.

The Antikythera Mechanism, an ancient Greek astronomical calculator, has challenged researchers since its discovery in 1901. Now split into 82 fragments, only a third of the original survives, including 30 corroded bronze gearwheels. Microfocus X-ray Computed Tomography (X-ray CT) in 2005 decoded the structure of the rear of the machine but the front remained largely unresolved. X-ray CT also revealed inscriptions describing the motions of the Sun, Moon and all five planets known in antiquity and how they were displayed at the front as an ancient Greek Cosmos. Inscriptions specifying complex planetary periods forced new thinking on the mechanization of this Cosmos, but no previous reconstruction has come close to matching the data. Our discoveries lead to a new model, satisfying and explaining the evidence. Solving this complex 3D puzzle reveals a creation of genius—combining cycles from Babylonian astronomy, mathematics from Plato’s Academy and ancient Greek astronomical theories.

Researchers proposed a new theoretical model for the Antikythera Mechanism, a 2,000-year-old device used to chart the universe

В 1900 году накануне Пасхи два судна ловцов губок, возвращавшихся от берегов Африки, бросили якорь у маленького греческого острова Антикитера (Антикифера) в Эгейском море, расположенного между южной оконечностью материковой Греции полуостровом Пелопоннес и островом Крит. Там, на…

【9月17日 AFP】紀元前2世紀に製作され、世界最古のコンピューターと称される「アンティキティラ島の機械（Antikythera Mechanism）」が見つかった難破船を、革新的な次世代型潜水服を使って調査する考古学プロジェクトが15日、エーゲ海（Aegean Sea）で始まった。
An ancient piece of clockwork shows the deep roots of modern technology
Notes for astronomical clock and orrery builders.
Did you know the first analog computer is nearly 2000 years old? The Greeks made a bronze device with over 30 little gears that could tell you when the next eclipse would happen - and now scientists have almost rebuilt it!
For those that do recognize its intricate gears and dials, this tiny, complex piece of machinery tells a vivid and incredible tale of science, shipwreck, adventure, sunken treasure and impossible chance.
Potentially solving an all-time great mystery, the 2,000 year old clockwork planetarium, the Antikythera Mechanism, has been reproduced.
Původní kámen měl asi 13 palců na výšku, 7 na šířku a byl jen asi 4 palce silný (32,5 x 17,5 x 10 cm, pozn. překl.), což vedlo mnohé ke spekulacím, že jde jen o kus nějakého daleko většího...
