Antikythera's First PC Device Working Replica is Built


World's first computer made in Antikythera, a Greek island, was recovered from the sea in 1902. 2000 years ago was originally used for modeling and predicting the movements of the heavenly bodies as well as the dates and locations of upcoming Olympic games.
The British Museum made a working replica of this precious Greek artifact.
