Antikythera Mechanism: The ancient 'computer' that simply shouldn't exist - BBC REEL 

You my friend have hit the nail directly on the head. How much knowledge have we truly lost over the centuries/millenniums. No civilization is protected from demise and I fear we are edging closer to a major collapse of world civilization. Here in the USA we are worried about pronouns while dangerous people are playing dangerous games all around us.

The Romans invented cement but this knowledge was lost after the fall of Rome only to be rediscovered in modern times.

Yeah, but that pic of my ass posted on the internet will be there forever...... go figure.

Yes although we will likely leave a pretty significant footprint digitally and physically. I reckon our civilisation would be able to be discovered pretty easily

Almost impossible now because we have written our knowledge almost everywhere and in different forms

May you share details of your report and the researchers answers?

5:26 It was not

According to this video, this mechanic was common so if it was lost at sea wouldnt there be many others?? What happened to all the makers and inventors of this item? DId they all die without passing on their knowledge? Wouldnt this invention be written in hundreds of books, wouldnt people build upon it like how clocks are being built to this very day from hundreds of years ago? I feel like some information is missing

It was probably a great loss but they speculate it might have been a prototype on an experimental Greek warship or exploratory vessel; it just further puts it into context how similar people have always been. I like to imagine that everything would have felt just as sophisticated and as advanced as it did today throughout human history. You’ve got to imagine as well that for something like this to be on a ship in the first place, they weren’t worried about losing the ONLY mechanism they had.

@@sew_gal7340They speculate this was a very secretive technology. Even if it had been written about, you’ve got to consider how many libraries have been charred into the gutters by enthusiastic Christian mercenaries and other barbarians. :’(

​​@@Linkolitethat's a good point. This might have been a prototype or being shipped to a wealthy person or king. Can imagine devices similar to these could've been put onto ships for navigation yet this one they say is predicting sky observation well into the future, so I'm not sure exactly what they wanted to do with this. But would have been amazing if they'd used this technology to make navigation devices for all their ships and each ship had one. Just would've been amazing like a fleet of ancient ships with "modern" technology.

Seriously😂 or the fact that I’m watching this video in 4k while communicating with you halfway across the world all on a thin little device I can fit in my pocket. Funny how far we’ve come

Good point that, and rather worrying at the same time.

That's a spooky thought 😮

Oh, well.. We all should just expect that PLENTY is being hidden from us.

This is an exciting thought, but not a particularly plausible one. We are now too complex of a world, for individuals to be able to make any advances, let alone an advance that is beyond the ken of universities or large corporations.

Metals are often repurposed for things like spear heads, or jewelry, or bullets, or statues... Also, when was the last time you used a landline telephone?

1. Metals where way more valuable back then (bronze/brass) so it was often repurposed 2. There was no fast traveling or social media to share knowledge fast and easy 3. People spoke different languages and often didn't travel far from their birth place (language barriere) hard to share knowledge if you can't communicate in detail (no google translate) 4. There was not much interest in the space and reasons for things (Gods where made up to explain the unexplained) it's way easier to say "because god" to everything, and explain every question with "god" especially back then where almost everyone was religious, so these precious metals in their eyes had better uses than mapping the solar system. Researchers also believe this "computer" was a gift to a greek lord who was a astrology nerd. these are just my opinions and ideas, because the craftmanship to make something like that without machine precision down to the millimeter and the mathematics is just a combination that was rare. Academy's where a new thing and only a luxury of the wealthy back then and not something widespreed. More than half the world still lived in caves and hunted wild animals with wooden spears, Europe was way advanced than rest of the world with maybe some parts of Asia and Egypt as exceptions

@@juuk3103 This is my take too. Imagine Da Vinci was able to build a successful prototype of his helicopter design, which proves what is possible but would have had limited value compared to modern helicopters because of things like the strength, weight and durability of the available materials at that time, as well as the ability to give it sufficient power. Everybody expresses wonder and bafflement at the invention that is way ahead of it's time and precisely because it's so far ahead of it's time it remains nothing but a curiosity.

Watch clickspring's antikythera series.

Mabye it was dropped on the sight by an other passing Ship much later and mabye the mechanism belonged to a Swiss clock maker, you cant C14 the mechanism,

So did burning the library of Alexandria 🤦‍♂️

It's happened time and time again through out history. Generally at the hands of religious zealots.

@@SilvaDreams Actually, there were lots of libraries like the one in Alexandria and they faded not because of religious zealots but because of apathy. It was expensive to maintain those libraries and scholars and when kings wanted to go to war, they let the libraries mildew. Most fires were accidental and the reality was much less exciting than people think. :)

theres a time machine back then rremember?

@@eshbena I was referring to the suppression of technology more so than just libraries burning down. That came by the limitations of the building materials being wood and fire the only light source... and paper (Or it's animal skin variant) was hard to make and doesn't last very long due to mold, mildew, insects and so on (plus the inks fading)

I thought it would be amusing if it was a child’s toy. Just imagine the look on their faces if they deciphered the language and it read , For children 10 yrs old and up. Lol.

it wasn't designed out of the blue, Scientists agree that there must have been predecessors! So while it might have been important science other machines like it probably existed at the time, maybe even better versions of the same machine so it might not have been important or even unique we just don't know much about it, and none of these alleged predecessors have ever been discovered either. They just must have existed because no one makes technological leaps to mechanical computers over night lol

@@bennyl7224 You confuse the need to be educated with the need to prove to others that you are educated. I would submit that there are many educated people today who could contribute by publishing what they know but simply refuse to do so. One very good reason is that a person who has made a discovery doesn't want it to be used for the wrong purposes by others. This is why 1/2 the scientists in the Manhattan Project regretted that they ever helped to develop the first atom bomb. What the modern Internet does in that regard is to spread what you learned or developed to more of the wrong people. The "wrong people" today are primarily Greedy Capitalists who will use what you teach them to make as much money as possible, as quickly as possible regardless of your original intentions. One reason why the machine in this video has remained such a secret since Antiquity may be that the person who developed made sure that only a few, "well intentioned people even knew of its existence. There is a difference between being smart and needing to brag to other people about how smart you are. Think about it.

Still the x-rays-machine brought to Greece was one of a kind back then, but it COULD be rebuild in case of an accident during transport, in opposition to the Antikythera mechanism, as you already yourself noticed.

We also came from more then just a happenchance of a big bang.

Does this make you stop laughing at those Ancient Alien TV shows? Me neither

If they had the technology to create that device, you can be sure that they had already been creating small machinery like that for years. There's almost certainly more devices like that to be discovered.

Not necessarily depending upon definition. There were 'computers' made in the 18th century, they just weren't as versatile and ofc not electric.

@@whohan779 Charles Babbage, eh?

I would argue that an abbacus from 4000 years ago was more of a "computer" than this thing.

@@niteragers6964 You're wrong, the first proto-homo-sapiens came on this planet approx 150,000 years ago who were the survivors of a battlestar known as galactica. They interbred with the local humanoid species which had evolved naturally.

I mean all they had to do was tinker around with how many teeth to put on a gear to make some little indication move around the real hard part is all the planetary gears connecting them all together since it Displayed multiple things

Yeah, that's what people primarily underrate. If people thought of computers 500, 1000, 1500 years ago (and one can argue that every generation had mathematicians who conceived of "algorithms"), they simply wouldn't have the electronic/mechanical development to produce these in any PRACTICAL or mass-distributed kind of way. Everyone has a smartphone not just because we have the technology to make smartphones, but because it's relatively easy to make millions of smartphones for cheap and every precursor to the smartphone since the first telephone and personal computer were also that way.

@@user-ol5bj4dm2v basically what you're saying is that progression of knowledge does HAVE to happen in some kind of order, because seemingly if you try to just skip ahead of all the other things such as electricity, then you will lack the resources and understanding to successfully create what we know today to be a mobile phone or a modern computer. i have never doubted human intelligence of the last few thousands of years, because really they're not much different than we are today on an evolutionary scale. i moreso doubted the historical fact that whenever we have had to start from "scratch" when it comes to a field of science, we have had always had to convince people that what you're producing is useful, or hell even just not useless. (the introduction of religious faiths absolutely being one of the things which harmed the idea of useful production and human progression as it could very simply be substituted for FAITH which has literally never gotten anybody anywhere EVER in itself, and in fact with certainty caused the degredation of any potential sciences trying to be born within their faith based living.) --- basically faith had created a way to turn an absolutely use-LESS event into things which they find meaning and comfort in, just to stop exactly where they are and progress no further.

@@ImHeadshotSniper Not all faiths are the same and not all religions are the same and neither religion the same as faith. I will stop here about that because it will just devolve into useless arguments. However, it is true that knowledge does not progress linearly, nor is knowledge that is developed kept. Just a possibility: Even though billions of people around the world use cell phones, if all engineers and scientists were to disappear suddenly, it is not likely we will have cell phones few decades later unless there is some record of knowledge.

@@classictutor i'm WELL aware that not all faiths are the same, however i strongly disagree that religion is not the same as faith. (i apologize that you wanted to stop there, but here i go devolving into "useless arguments") i understand that there are other uses of the word religion, being "particular system of faith or worship" or the other definition "ascribing to supreme importance", and the common definition we know as worshipping a supreme being. the thing that all of those definitions for religion have in common is its basis on faith in an idea. opposingly, i understand that a lot of my "knowledge" is also based on my faith in people who've obtained the knowledge. the only difference being that religion is entirely anecdotal, and often fails the test of experimentation and evident proof, whereas my faith in "science", even if it prove itself incorrect later on, at least it has the ability to do so, whereas deistic based religions function entirely based on an initial set of assumptions, often a story with its own moral reasoning, and sometimes it is later "corrected" to be more morally acceptable, but never corrected to be proven to be any more factually true! i was not very familiar with exactly what i was trying to explain so i googled it, and really i'm just trying to say that the only way you can truly "know" reality, is by logical inductive and deductive reasoning, because even if something greater than our sensory abilities exists, that is a problem that we need to solve by producing instrumentation with the ability to detect such theorized things we all begin this journey of inductive and deductive reasoning with solipsism and the idea that we all know for sure that exists is ourselves (i think therefore i am type idea), and it is up to us to use our 3d reaction based bodies to figure out consistent, repeatable reactions that we can only then surely say we KNOW to be true. of course if you choose to believe that even our reality isn't real (like simulation theory), i really think that's no different than believing that Heaven comes afterwards, because if deistic prophecies are true, then there literally is no point to achieving things and progression in our real life. that's why WE create purpose, and no invisible deity could EVER give purpose to our planet EVEN IF THEY EXISTED, because if they do exist, then they sure as hell have absolutely nothing to do with the continued survival of our species. we could literally all be wiped out by a rogue planet tomorrow, there is nobody going to stop anything like this from happening, and just because it hasn't happened DOESN'T PROVE THAT THERE IS A GOD! if we knew ahead of time that we were going to be wiped out by said rogue planet, there would STILL, and perhaps more than ever be religious people thinking that for some reason that the actions that they took in their puny pathetic life actually makes a difference in their "fate" after they've died. the fate is that we fade out of existence and our consciousness as an energy gets drained of what is required for it to survive. i think this rogue planet example, and thinking about the fact that hell, even i'd probably suddenly become religious if i saw a massive planet coming towards our atmosphere, prove that religion and faith is a tool for CONFIDENCE (as well as control, and while i was just about to comment about how control was irrelevant to the ideas of religion and faith themselves, i absolutely think that there is ALWAYS a purpose to control people of a faith or religion.) ---the difference between my knowledge being controlled by scholars and scientists opposed to baseless faiths is that science has an incredibly strong base relative to religion, especially considering the fact that like i previously mentioned, science disproves itself, whereas if you attempt to "disprove" a faith or religion, you all of a sudden become defined as not being religious to said faith or religion.

How does the Antikythera mechanism come close to resembling a computer. Though I do believe there is nothing new under the Sun.

I don't want to burst your bubble but how do we know it was the Greeks who invented it? They could have found it somewhere else and brought it to Greece. This particular gear wheel was a calendar (there is a documentary about it). The gear wheel itself was actually invented by the Egyptians in Alexandria who, according to ancient scriptures, got the design from the Persians. Before the Greeks "invented" the gear wheel they invaded Egypt. A lot of the inventions the Greeks take credit for are in fact invented in either Persia or Egypt. After Alexander the "great's" conquest of Egypt and Persia a wave of "new" inventions began to appear in Greece. Don't give yourselves too much credit...

@@professormoriarty6875 Yeah! You tell those ancient Greeks old son!

Sadly, hard drives wouldn't be able to last that long and retain its information. The first issue would be the length of time the hard drive was powered off. The second would be if you could keep it powered on occasionally, like once every few days, it may be able to last for a long time. But the issue is, something with the hard drive would fail before even 500 years. And the last issue would be, after having almost 40-50 people watching over it over their entire lives, there would be a possibility that someone would forget it in a box for decades, especially with age and forgetfulness. Thus information would get corrupted. That is very different from being able to see a 3d scan vs trying to 3d a hard drive to get information within it. Plus a powerful scan could probably ruin everything stored on it. However, if it could be transferred over that time or maintained on the internet, first thing I would think is the possibility of it being my great great great great.... grand parents that have been long gone. Plus it may be used for education purposes, because incubators may be the only method they allow in the future with how crazy people are today.

Made by Atlantean technology

Possibly, but we’re really too sophisticated for all of our technology to be lost and we go back to medieval times, because there are actually people who know how to make things, and machines and technology is so useful to us that it would be necessary to keep it around through a dark age as to not be at a disadvantage to everyone else

Those days only a handful of people or just one. Today it's millions of people. Until 90% of population is destroyed I highly doubt it.

@@jamesgabor9284 However, technologies we have are so complex that very few people know how to do it all. For example, an engineer might know how to make a building on paper and be certain that it will hold in place, but this engineer doesn't know how to physically build this building, where to find the raw materials needed or how to actually make concrete and steel. Without our complex economical society, most technologies we have are impossible to make

@@PG-3462 Yeah it really depends. Some stuff that's very widely used and had a large number of people trained in all aspects of their creation and use probably won't be forgotten. Stuff like the internal combustion engine won't be forgotten because loads of people have a good understanding of how they work. I think the technology at the cutting edge could be at risk of moving backwards though, because of how specialised it is. Like for the semiconductor industry, there's only one company in the entire world capable of building the machines capable of manufacturing the latest silicon chips. If a lot of that workforce retired before training the next generation, if the company went bankrupt or if there was some damage to the scientific record of their technology like by a solar storm then we could easily fall back ten years in electronics development.

Dig deeper.

It may have hastened climate change before we could deal with it. Metallurgy has been progressing this whole time (because of war, oddly the same reason this technology was lost 🤪) and the alloys to make it possible just came to pass. Electricity was definitely used around this time too, check out the Baghdad Battery. Again, 🥳 but couldn’t even do close to what we have now due to material sciences.

I like to believe it’s better it was invented later because world relations had time to develop more.

@@It-b-Blair The Baghdad Battery was likely used in electro-plating, that is applying a thin coating of gold/silver to jewelry and other objects. Which is fascinating in and of itself because someone invented batteries just to make shiny rocks even shinier. As a side note, I read a theory once that metal-working was invented as a side effect of making pretty pots. Copper ore produces a lovely blue-green color and, undoubtedly, as a side effect of making potter glazes there would have been hits of smelted copper left over for the potter to mess around with in their free time.

Does the slow collapse of the Western world mean that we were almost about to invent something ground breaking aswell?

So true. It pains me to know how much information and history was lost forever in the burning of the Library of Alexandria. Tryuely saddening.

No need to imagine. People who deny science and willingly ignore facts walk amongst us. The pandemic has shown us that black and white.

"Greek empire"? Which one? Also, the Library of Alexandria actually wasn't that important. It mainly held astronomical and philosophical documents, which, while important to science, wouldn't be all that useful at the time. Most, if not all, scientific technologies within the library were already in circulation and known by many, of course these teachings and sciences remained localized in the Middle-East for some time, they found their way back to Europe eventually. If you take a timeline where the Library of Alexandria wasn't burned down, you'd still find yourself in one where it was all but abandoned, as membership for it was in peak decline, and the city was likely to fall victim of one tragedy after another. The best scenario is that the library is looted and some ship travel to the Americas comes a few hundred years earlier, but that's about it.

@@kubectlgetpo Not sure how you managed to link those two topics together

@@FoxElliott Although you most likely are correct, I wouldn't completely dismiss the information that the library may have retained. Any philosophical information that may have been lost could be important as well as other forms of information such as the way they wrote, language, history, or people that may have been recorded in many of the books. Basically, we'll never know what was lost and that's the unfortunate thing.

Devices like this are mentioned in ancient writings. Just ask scholars of classical antiquity on the subject. We knew devices like this existed. We just didn't have any examples that were preserved or survived to the modern day. That's why this was a breakthrough. And the term computer is a little misleading. It's more like a calculator or orrery than what we think of as a computer today. The Greeks did not have modern marvels like the ones we know of, I'm sorry to say. That doesn't mean this device is unimpressive but it's not the high tech wizard device of modern flavor like the video implies.

I imagine there weren't many. This seems like the creation of a particular genius who's work and existence have been lost to time, not something that would have been widely available in any form. This sort of technology I mean, not the computer itself. There was certainly a handful of gear driven mechanisms of course. Like the doors on the temple of Zeus I think it was? Built to open with the pull of a lever from.. I forget, steam or just hot air or something. Point is, it was really cool, and would have left common people in complete awe.

The things we make our technology out of will be around for a very long time. There will be plenty of evidence of our time.

Schools don’t teach the Sphinx-erosion hypothesis because there’s little evidence to support it and tonnes to the contrary. But let me guess, you tend only to think of evidence in terms of what you can ‘see with your eyes?’

@K Sometimes insults are the appropriate response, not that I think my comment was excessively insulting beyond the point I wanted to make. I actually did present an argument. Re-read paragraph 2. That IS an argument. Schools don’t and shouldn’t teach every unsubstantiated hypotheses you’ll read about in quacky books about Atlantis and Ancient Aliens. Just no. & Good for you if that’s actually true; doubt it, but there’s always an exception to the rule. I’m certainly not doubting the education YOU received was bullshit - or you wouldn’t have ended up thinking as you do - which doesn’t by the way mean the entire system is flawed.

Yes they had diffrent kind of world to us nowdays and so were intrested about the planets in our solar system and thats why the Greeks named planets like Venus, Mars or Jupiter with their gods and so intelligent Greeks created devices to see planets movement.

I think it reveals that Europe might rather be new to this and is the dominant civilization today. But previously, for a long time it was not. I won’t be surprised if this was made in Morocco or somewhere in Africa.

Just have a look at the Egyptian pyramids and you know we are not that special. The people from the past deserve much more credits than we gave them.

I don't think time was such of an important element to everyday life like today, they cared about days only. Hence why they didn't bother making clocks.

@@nobytes2 Time keeping and clocks are important to any civilization. They had very sophisticated water clocks with gearing ,that would even have birds singing when the hour changes like a cuckoo clock, but a full mechanical clock requires advances in metallurgy and a proper escapement mechanism that was not invented yet. On the other hand, the technological and scientific level of Antikythera device would be equaled again in 1356 almost 1500 years later (the wallingford clock) .

The idea of a clock and a catchment may have been missing. That was quite a breakthrough concept.

I imagine they would carve moulds and then pour the liquid metal in to them? Would be much easier that cutting the metal sheets.

might be but they don't really need a precise time-keeping during those times and if they did a sundial would have been more practical

The reason is that 95k ago there was a higher tech humans that came from MARS to settle this planet along with the NEPHILIM from the destroyed planet now whats left of the asteroid belt do to a planetary WAR - you people will learn the truth one day.

All our materials are recyclable - the main issue is that our products are designed not to be recycled, especially using a combination of materials that can’t be easily disassembled or sorted ☹️

An astounding discovery & you are droning on like a bore.

I think it's vastly more helpful to think of the past as different countries rather than different times. Still full of people, just in a different situation. I think the temptation to think of people in the past as less smart or enlightened is all too great. They were just like us, even 10,000 years ago. Evolution takes a really long time to change things, for the most part. We've been this way all along.

Just what I thought. It is no big deal to make gears and found out, how count of tooth is connected with number of turns. I believe they had primitive machines with gears already, so someone just made them little.

That’s Science for you

This device was from the 1700s it was from a different shipwreck that happened in the same spot!

No one thinks they were made accidentally. All the things you named are made of stone and marble. Of course they'd last.

Working with stone goes back much further, as good as the Greeks were at it. A clockwork mechanism for predicting the motion of the cosmos using a sophisticated system of gears and hands is entirely unheard of in artifacts from 2100 years ago. History was completely changed by this discovery; it's just that not many seem to know it.

Me, but realizing the MacGuffin could have been so much cooler than presented in the movie. It could have been as freaky and creepy as the Ark, if done right.

Did you ever wonder if gggee I don't know someone from another planet far away need this to travel at a rate of speed faster then light. Maybe its more then a calculator. Maybe it's a navigation system. Why else would you need to know when a planet will be? Maybe because in space you can't travel in a straight line. I don't tho I'm just high as a kite

I once invented the spork, but I didnt realize it already existed 🤦

This is probably the 10th time steam power has been invented

And when we tell you that flying machines existed in ancient India...... you discard them by calling them *myth* Even the whole mathematics & knowledge of Ayurveda was invented in ancient india. You can find evidences of Brain surgery & open-heart surgery on some age-old papers which didn't rot for thousands of years. There were also arrows which were described to be mass destructive (which could have been some sort of nuclear technology) But due to numerous wars, cultural solubility & Nepotism in Knowledge sharing all of these led to disappearance of all of the ancient knowledge. Not only in India, but ancient China, Japan, Iraq-Iran, Egypt have various kinds of ancient mysteries. I mean it might be possible that humans were technologically advanced at some point of time then everything got reset due to reasons unknown.

it was going through my mind wether this device was designed with a flat or ball earth in mind and/or wether it would be just as accurate at 180 degrees from greece? what do you think?

every point in the universe is the center of the universe. There is no center technically , so the opposite is also true here where any point in the universe can be the center. Its relative, its a rather neat fact about the universe as well! take a look into it.

Many Greek philosophers espoused the heliocentric ideas as well as a spherical earth. Most obvious case is that of Eratosthenes who in about 200BC (?) got the radius of the earth pretty well right. Pity that someone in 1492 was just so ignorant!
