In the year 1900, a crew of Greek sponge divers was looking for sponges off the coast of the island of Antikythera. While they were searching, they found the remains of an ancient shipwreck.
The wreck contained over 30 marble statues, pieces of glasswork, one corroded metal object that no one could identify.
75 years later, using new technology, they discovered what that hunk of metal was designed for.
Learn more about the Antikythera Mechanism and how it forever changed our views of the ancient world, on this episode of Everything Everywhere Daily.
