    The Antikythera mechanism. An almost anachronistic device meant (we think) to calculate astronomical cycles.

    At this point I’m guessing they considered doing the whole industrial revolution thing then decided against it.

      If you haven’t seen it, Clickspring on youtube has a series where he recreates the Antikythera mechanism based on scans of the original. It’s an interesting series I recommend to anyone interested in that kinda thing
