Synopsis
This is the true history of an astonishing machine during the time when the island of Rhodes was the centre of both cultural and intellectual activity within the Roman Empire. Made on the island of Rhodes around 71BC, the computer was lost beneath the waves for almost 2000 years. Recovered in 1910, the Antikythera machine caused much controversy in scientific circles of the day for the technology incorporated in the device was far ahead of its time. This miraculous mechanical computer, now on display in the National Archaeological Museum in Athens, has an exceptional history. The author provides us with something more than the story of its manufacture and use.
