In 1900, divers exploring a Roman-era shipwreck off the Greek island of Antikythera found a corroded lump of bronze. For decades, it was ignored. But when scientists finally X-rayed it, they discovered a shocking secret.

Inside was a complex system of over 30 interlocking bronze gears, a machine so sophisticated it shouldn't have existed for another 1,500 years.

This device, the Antikythera Mechanism, wasn't just a clock. It was an analog computer. It could predict solar and lunar eclipses, track the exact positions of the Sun, Moon, and known planets, and even had a dial for the 4-year cycle of the Olympic Games.

It is, without a doubt, the most technologically advanced object ever recovered from the ancient world.

In this video, we dive deep to answer the great mysteries:

Who built this "impossible" machine?

How did they gain this extraordinary knowledge?

And why did this incredible technology completely vanish from history, forcing humanity to re-invent it all over again?

Join us as we decode the world's oldest computer.
