In this episode of GL Deep Dives, we unlock the gears of one of the most astonishing discoveries of the ancient world — the Antikythera Mechanism. Recovered from a shipwreck over a century ago, this 2,000-year-old artifact is often called the world’s first analog computer.

Built by the ancient Greeks, the mechanism predicted celestial events with stunning precision, challenging everything we thought we knew about ancient technology.

Who made it? How did it work? And what does it say about the lost knowledge of early civilizations?

Join us as we explore the mystery, the science, and the genius behind a machine far ahead of its time. ⚙️🌌📜
