from We Have Concerns Hosted by Jeff Cannata/Anthony Carboni

New anaysis suggests that the bronze computing device known as the Antikythera, discovered at the bottom of the Aegean Sea in 1901 is even older than previously thought. In fact, this computer dates back to 200 BC and represents a incredible feat of pre-historic human engineering. Anthony and Jeff marvel at a people that could devise such a thing, and rail at the Dark Ages for stealing away so many awesome advancements. This show is entirely listener supported.
