Antikythera Mechanism

Discovered in a Greek shipwreck (1901), this ~100 BCE device is the world's first known analog computer.

With 30+ bronze gears, it predicted solar/lunar eclipses, tracked the zodiac, and calculated Olympic game dates.

Click and drag left/right to turn the main crank. Watch all gears rotate with historically accurate ratios.
