If you haven't heard about this ancient 'computer' then I strongly suggest watching this or googling it.
This fine piece of literally unexplainable technology proves that the timeline we have for precision engineering and clockwork-type mechanisms is over a millenia off in time! Not only does this machine tally with astronomical data -the designer had to know plenty of astronomy - but the actual workmanship cannot be explained by the tool set traditional history affords the makers of this piece.
This is a great example of an 'oopart', which means 'out-of-place-artefact'. Bit like the fine stonework the ancient Egyptians are supposed to have used copper tools to fashion! As if!
