Uploaded by NatureVideoChannel on Dec 11, 2008
New interpretations of the Antikythera Mechanism reveal that it could be used to predict eclipses, and that it had a dial recording the dates of the ancient Olympiads. The 2,000-year-old box of intricate gearwork provides a glimpse of the engineering prowess of the Hellenic world. The team discuss their results here.

Well, f**k. If it wasn't for our propensity towards violence and religious fascism, we might have had faster-than-light space travel by now. Sure, that's all supposition, but we'd certainly be more advanced.

I feel so dumb! I'll rip my engineer computing diploma.

Where are the movies about this?

@BurrzaTV hahaha

Who knows, this coulda been one of their least impressive technological devices. For all we know this was just a simple clock and the more advanced things they had would be even further from our comprehension.

@allisinthepass I think some still are ;P At least I hope they are.

@mpoukoma True and If religious Fascists hadn't suppressed scientific experimentation imagine where would we be?

@mpoukoma If the Cristian dark age would not have come we would most likely walk on mars right now.

I doesn't feel like looking at something from the ancient past... it feels like looking at a future we completely lost.
Just imagine what kind of technology we would have now, if we just kept advancing from the Antikythera Mechanism. It's the stuff of pure science fiction, but it could have been a Reality.. it's truly a shame we lost all of this for nearly 2000 years. All crushed by Politics, Religion, Dogma and lets face it.. human nature.
