In 1900, divers found what looked to be a mechanical clock in the wreckage of an ancient ship near the coast of Greece. This is impossible, because scientifically, precise gearing wasn’t thought to have been widely used until the fourteenth century, fourteen hundred years after the ship sunk.
This item in fact was a 2000 year old computer , watched a doco on it last night on bbc4 , amazing , proof that their must have been a civilization prior to ours that left technology behind to be reverse engineered .......greenbloodredsoul

I also seen the program and it was very interesting, u said gears werent used until 13th century and beyond but they explained that by saying when greek and roman civilasations collapsed the tech went east before coming back west.
Also why to u automatically think that it was not the greeks that made it?
