Ancient Computer?

[bupanishad2012]

The Antikythera mechanism (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Antikythera_Mechanism) has been discovered to be a mechanical computer of an accuracy thought impossible in 80 BC, when the ship that carried it sunk. Such sophisticated technology was not thought to be developed by humanity for another 1,000 years. Its wheels and gears create a portable orrery (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Orrery) of the sky that predicted star and planet locations as well as lunar (http://forum.arian-catholic.org/ap040525.html) and solar eclipse (http://forum.arian-catholic.org/ap030530.html)s. The Antikythera mechanism (http://www.sciencenews.org/articles/20061202/fob6.asp), shown above (http://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Image:NAMA_Machine_d%27Anticyth%C3%A8re_1.jpg), is 33 centimeters high and similar in size to a large book.
