Move over, Bill Gates. It appears that the world's first PC was
invented during biblical times. It was a device so sophisticated that
with a turn of a hand crank, mathematical gears mapped the positions
of planets and stars. Now, more than 100 years since the discovery,
experts are still vying to understand how such an advanced technology
could have existed 2,000 years ago.
Over a century ago, sponge divers recovered an extremely complex
mechanical device from a shipwreck. It was decades before they
determined its purpose, to accurately track the movement of the stars
in the night sky. Dubbed the Antikythera mechanism (for the location
of the shipwreck from which it came), the device is considered the
world's first computer, developed by the Greeks around the 1st century
B.C. Scientists continue to marvel at its intricate system of gears
which rival that of the most complex Swiss watch.
