In olden times, huge ships were used to deliver treasures from one country to another. Many times very precious items were also kept in these ships. Recently, scientists have found a very unique object in the depths of the sea, which is very important for both history and science.

Antikithera ship and its discovery

In 1900, captain Dimitrios Kondos and his team discovered the remains of a ship immersed near the Cyrie Island in Greece. The ship is considered to be the first century BC and named ‘Antikithra’. Many interesting and rare items were found from this ship, the most famous of which is the antikithra mechanism.

Antikithera mechanism: World’s first analog computer

The anticithra system is about 2000 years old and is considered the first analog computer in human history. This device was used to forecast eclipse, moon feet and motion of planets. It was a surprise for scientists to have such complex and technical equipment in that era.

Mysteries of unique discovery

It is also surprising that along with this ship, other ship remains have been found, which were probably submerged at the same time. Those remains also had a wooden tool, whose texture was completely different from a 1970 device. This indicates that at that time many ships would be submerged in the sea or sea traffic in that area was quite busy.

Important discovery for science and history

This discovery has given a new direction in the world of archeology and science. This technical item found in deep sea water gives new dimensions to the technical understanding of human civilization. It explains how many our ancestors were technically advanced and how they made such complex equipment despite their difficulties.
