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. But not until a century later was its purpose understood: it was an astronomical clock that determined the positions of celestial bodies with extraordinary precision.

In 2010, we built a fully-functional replica out of Lego.
