摘要

Discovered around 1900 in the wreckage of an ancient Roman merchant vessel at the bottom of the Mediterranean, the Antikythera mechanism is a confusing tangle of clockwork gears. Only when probed with sophisticated 3-D X-ray technology did the device begin to disclose many of its secrets, more than 100 years later. In an article published in Nature in July, an international team argues that the object comprises a calendar dedicated to the Olympic Games, together with calendars to determine the timing of eclipses and the phases of the sun and moon, all in a contraption that was built more than 2,000 years ago. "It's a jaw-dropping, astonishing device," says Tony Freeth, a member of the Antikythera Mechanism Research Project. "I still don't know how they did it."
