[00:00:08]Hidden beneath the sea until [music] 1901, the Antikythera mechanism was discovered inside a shipwreck near Greece.

[00:00:14]At first, it looked like a lump of corroded bronze.

[00:00:18]But inside was something [music] extraordinary, a complex machine filled with precision gears.

[00:00:24]Built around 150 BCE, this shoebox-size [music] device could track the Sun and Moon, predict eclipses, and calculate astronomical cycles decades ahead of time. Scientists later realized it worked like an ancient analog computer centuries ahead of its time.

[00:00:42]Its engineering [music] was so advanced that similar technology wouldn't appear again in Europe for more than a thousand years.

[00:00:48]The Antikythera mechanism changed how we see the ancient world forever.
