The Antikythera computer
An analog device consisting of an elaborate system of gears and dials found in a ship wreck in the Aegean sea near the Greek island of Antikythera may be the first human made programmable computer.Dated back to the 2nd century BC, its gears and dials mechanism could be used to display a calendar, track the phases of the moon, and to predict eclipses. One can only wonder if subsequent expeditions may discover devices like i-phones or ancient boom boxes. Hey, did Lady Goddess wear Victoria's Secret panties?
