The Incredible Antikythera Machine

By Leo Gura - June 20, 2024

The following 12 part series on the ancient Greek Antikythera machine is just incredible. This is the world’s oldest surviving analog computer, at over 2000 years old. It was a kind of zodiac/celestial clock/calendar which meticulously tracked the movements of the stars.

This YouTuber explains how the device worked, what each part did, and he re-machines the whole thing from scratch before your eyes. Incredible!

I suggest you watch the whole series to appreciate the insane metalwork and craftsmanship of the ancient Greeks. It gets crazy good in the last third of the series.

This is YouTube at its best:
