Researchers Make Breakthrough in Study of Mysterious 2000-Year-Old Computer Found in Shipwreck
• FuturismResearchers say they've used cutting-edge gravitational wave research to shed new light on a nearly 2,000-year-old mystery.
In 1901, researchers discovered what's now known as the Antikythera mechanism in a sunken shipwreck, an ancient artifact that dates back to the second century BC, making it the world's "oldest computer."
There's a chance you may have spotted a replica, directly inspired by it and featured in the blockbuster "Indiana Jones and the Dial of Destiny" last year.
