The world’s oldest analog computer may be no more than a 2,000-year-old lemon, according to the findings of an as-yet un-peer ...

Researchers have created a computational model of the Antikythera mechanism to test how it worked. It was prone to jamming ...

The mysterious Antikythera Mechanism is 2,000 years old and has long puzzled scientists. New research into its ...

Researchers simulated the device's ancient gear system to find out whether the contraption actually worked. Apparently, it did not.

It took Andrew Carol 30 days to build a working model of the Antikythera Mechanism—the ancient Greek world's most ...

These 82 bronze fragments of the original mechanism were found in a Roman shipwreck by sponge divers in 1900. Copyright of the Antikythera Mechanism Research Project ...

It wasn’t until 2006 that the Antikythera mechanism captured broader attention. That year, Mike Edmunds of Cardiff University in Wales and his team published CT scans of the fragments ...

And yet, they built. Granted, not every artifact was as complex as the Antikythera mechanism, but still, this ancient astronomical computer exists, and must have come from someone’s workshop.

such as those used in the construction of the Antikythera Mechanism, which [Chris] has been rebuilding for the past years, using only period-correct tools. He’s learned a lot about the mechanism ...

The Antikythera Mechanism is a mysterious ancient device used to calculate lunar cycles, planet motions, and more. Over 2,000-years-old, it was far more advanced than any other technology of its time.
