Research on the battered remains of a mysterious ancient device suggests that ancient Greek technology was far more advanced than thought.

The device was discovered more than a century ago, in 1900, by sponge divers from the Aegean island of Symi after a gale blew them off course, and they took shelter by a barren islet called Antikythera.

Instead of sponges, the divers found a large heap of bronze and marble statues ... and a corroded lump of rock which was then dumped in a crate in the courtyard of the National Archaeological Museum in Athens. A few months later when it was cracked open, traces of gearwheels, precisely marked circular scales and inscriptions in ancient Greek were revealed.
