The Archaeology Channel published a 14-minute video documentary about the Antikythera mechanism, featuring filmmaker Tony Freeth. It was originally posted on Nature's website, but if you haven't already seen it, it's well worth a look.
New interpretations of the Antikythera Mechanism reveal that it could be used to predict eclipses, and that it had a dial recording the dates of the ancient Olympiads. The 2,000-year-old box of intricate gearwork provides a glimpse of the engineering prowess of the Hellenic world.
