A group of scientists came close to understanding the Antikythera Mechanism – one of the greatest technological mysteries of the ancient world. Using X-rays, the specialists were able to create a complete 3D model of the mechanism.

This device is more than 2000 years old, and in the hands of scientists it has been for more than a century, but still no one can unravel all the secrets of the mechanism.

The Antikythera mechanism was found in 1901 on a sunken ship in the Aegean Sea, which was dated to the 1st century BC. On board were various treasures and art objects, which were probably intended for the Julius Caesar parade in Rome.

All they need to do now is build some and sell them.   

The discovery of the thing set back the history of mechanism a thousand years.   Before it's discovery no one believed anyone had build such complex devices until much later.

Scholars of ancient history have always known that the Greeks were very good at making complex mechanisms and passed this know-how on to the Romans. The fall of the Western Empire left only the Byzantines with this knowledge and they gradually lost it over the venturies.
