The Two Thousand Year Old Computer这是一个关于历史上最非凡的发现之一的故事。这个锈迹斑斑的铜器，是一个能够观察未来的机器。它在2000年前的古希腊被建造。古希腊的某人在某地建造了一个杰出的机器——机械计算机。100年前，一群潜水员偶然来到一个窑藏了有史以来发现最多的古希腊珍宝的废墟上，在无价的古希腊青铜像中间，有另外一个青铜物品，大概比现代的笔记本略小。它被大家成为“安蒂基西拉机器”。In 1901, a group of divers excavating an ancient Roman shipwreck near the island of Antikythera, off the southern coast of Greece, found a mysterious object - a lump of calcified stone that contained within it several gearwheels welded together after years under the sea. The 2,000-year-old object, no bigger than a modern laptop, is now regarded as the world's oldest computer, devised to predict solar eclipses and, according to recent findings, calculate the timing of the ancient Olympics. Following the efforts of an international team of scientists, the mysteries of the Antikythera Mechanism are uncovered, revealing surprising and awe-inspiring details of the object that continues to mystify.
