It was so sophisticated that nothing like it would be invented or made for another 1,500 years.</p> <p> </p> <p>Found in a shipwreck by sponge divers, the Antikythera Mechanism has been compared to a computer and often seen as the most advanced technology the world had seen. Not just for it’s time but more advanced than anything we’d see until the 1400s.</p> <p> </p> <p>Thanks to Jonathon Zellar for suggesting this incredible subject!</p> <p>Please do help us out by subscribing to the show:</p> <p><a href= "https://www.youtube.com/awesomeastronomy?sub_confirmation=1">https://www.youtube.com/awesomeastron...</a></p> <p> </p> <p>We've added a new way to donate to 365 Days of Astronomy to support editing, hosting, and production costs.<span class= "Apple-converted-space"> </span></p> <p>Just visit: <a href= "https://www.patreon.com/365DaysOfAstronomy">https://www.patreon.com/365DaysOfAstronomy</a> and donate as much as you can!</p> <p>Share the podcast with your friends and send the Patreon link to them too!<span class="Apple-converted-space"> </span></p> <p>Every bit helps!
