Photograph by David Coleman. These fragments of the Antikythera Mechanism, discovered by sponge divers off the Greek island of Antikythera in 1900, represent one of archaeology's most significant technological finds. The device, recovered from an ancient shipwreck at a depth of approximately 45 meters, consists of multiple corroded bronze fragments that have survived over two millennia underwater. Scientific analysis has revealed that the mechanism contained at least 30 precisely cut bronze gears arranged in a sophisticated layered design. X-ray studies and surface imaging have revealed ancient Greek inscriptions and astronomical calculations engraved on various parts of the device. These fragments, dated between 100 BC and 205 BC, provide crucial evidence of advanced mechanical and astronomical knowledge in ancient Greece. The remains are housed in a dedicated gallery at the National Archaeological Museum in Athens, where specialized lighting and careful preservation techniques protect these delicate artifacts while allowing detailed examination of their intricate components.
