The Antikythera Mechanism is the oldest known scientific computer, built in Greece at around 100 BCE. Lost for 2000 years, it was recovered from a shipwreck in 1901. A century later, researchers finally realized it was an astronomical clock that determines celestial bodies locations with amazing precision. Researchers built a fully-functional model out of Lego to test it.
