We have this image in our heads of when we think things happen, when
courses of information came into being, when certian tech surfaced. Here
is a little something I found in my wanderings which calls some of those
suppositions into question.
In 1901, Greek sponge-divers found an ancient shipwreck off the coast of
Antikythera which contained the remains of a geared mechanism over two
thousand years old. Archaeologists and scientists now believe it was a
device for calculating the motions of stars and planets: a primitive
analog computer. The implications for our understanding of ancient history
are potentially enormous.
