About this audiobook

Recovered from a shipwreck off the coast of Greece, the Antikythera Mechanism stunned the modern world. With its intricate gears and astonishing precision, it seemed to challenge everything we thought we knew about ancient technology. The Antikythera Mechanism explores how this remarkable device was discovered, decoded, and reinterpreted over time. Written in a clear, human tone, this book traces the story of the wreck, the painstaking research that revealed the mechanism's purpose, and the questions it still raises about scientific knowledge in the ancient world. It examines how Greek ingenuity produced what many now consider the first analogue computer. More than a tale of gears and calculations, this is a story about human curiosity and forgotten brilliance. It asks how such sophistication could emerge so early and what else history may be quietly waiting for us to rediscover.
