Antikythera, 1900-1902: an ancient shipwreck is located and part of an unprecedented ancient Greek mechanism is raised. Everyone wonders about its role. Is it an astrolabe? Compass? It looks quite complex. Was it part of the ship's valuable cargo or a navigational instrument and therefore part of its equipment? The ancient object bears fossilized deposits, and its long stay in the sea has made it particularly fragile. Thus, it keeps its secrets well hidden. Perhaps suitable for a high-tech machine, only the parallel evolution of modern technology in the century that followed its discovery enabled its decryption and full interpretation.

Thanks to a storm in the first half of the 1st century BC, an ancient ship, filled with precious objects, sank, and thanks to another storm in 1900, Symian sponge divers locate the ancient shipwreck and dedicate their lives to the recovery of the valuable findings. Thanks to all this, we have the fortune to have preserved the Antikythera Mechanism. Its long-term research has astonished the scientific community. Today, worldwide, the Antikythera Mechanism is our only witness to the exceptionally high level of ancient Greek astronomy and engineering.
