Antikythera Mechanism: Computer built in ancient Greece leaves scientists stunned Search for: An ancient Greek computer more than 1,000 years ahead of its time was able to accurately predict the motions of planets and stars, even when they would appear to move backwards across the sky, new research has found. The Antikythera Mechanism was discovered in a shipwreck off the coast of Greece early in the 20th century. Archaeologists immediately suspected it was some kind of astronomical clock, but figured it was probably renaissance in origin due to its complexity.  It wasn’t until the second half of the 20th century researchers realised it dated to ancient Greece – probably around 100BC-200BC – and that it accurately traced the movement of the sun and moon, predicting when eclipses would occur.
