    • The Antikythera Mechanism: Mystery That Is Finally Solved!

    This is Antikythera Mechanism. We don't know anything about where and how it was built. But we know for a fact that the Antikythera Mechanism is a complex assembly of gears, dials, and pointers, and despite its age, it is an incredibly advanced device used to predict the movements of celestial bodies and eclipses with perfect accuracy. This ancient computer could track planetary positions; something like this complex was not supposed to exist 2,100 years ago. But it wasn't until the 21st century, with the help of advanced technology and a lot of efforts from experts in different fields of science, that the true creators and real purpose of this ancient computer began to emerge. Were they skilled craftsmen, ingenious inventors, or perhaps even divine beings? In today's video, we will delve into the ancient history of this Incredible Machine and who were the masterminds behind it.

    Just got to bump this amazing thread. There can't have been just one Antikythera Mechanism, surely, but why did it/they disappear until recently? And how odd that all those gears didn't inspire the first ever clock (but it didn't).

    • We Just Solved This Ancient Computer… Now We’re Scared:

    A mysterious box pulled from a shipwreck in 1901 has just changed everything we thought we knew about ancient technology. The Antikythera Mechanism — a 2,000-year-old Greek computer — was finally decoded by modern scientists, and what they discovered is deeply unsettling. With help from CT scans, X-rays, and Joe Rogan’s famous podcast episode with Graham Hancock, we dive into the chilling truth behind this lost invention. How did something so advanced disappear for over a thousand years? What else might be hiding beneath the sea? This isn’t just history — it’s a warning. Watch till the end.

    I saw this a few weeks ago when it came out. Despite the clickbait video thumbnail (and the meaningless AI image! ) the video asks a few good questions:
    • Was there just one unique 'Antikythera Mechanism', or are there others that have never been found?
    • If there were others, were they all identical, or might some of them be more advanced and intricate still?
    • Since we now know the Greeks had this level of significant mathematical and technical sophistication, what else might they have invented or created that's never been found at all, or preserved in any written records?
    • And the 'terrifying' thing: this was all completely lost to history when the great age of the Ancient Greeks faded and collapsed, and the Library of Alexandria was burned to the ground. No-one for the next 2000 years ever knew this thing existed, either in concept or practicality. Could something similar happen to our own civilization?

    One item does not prove that the Greeks had that knowledge extant.

    It does prove that such sophisticated knowledge existed in ancient times.

    It also points to the fact that there must be missing societies, whose contribution would have to had preceded the ability to build such a mechanism.

    This sort of evidence is hard to refute and it requires a radical rewrite for it to fit the true history of intelligent life on this planet.
