This is the same wreck that held the Antikythera Mechanism: Antikythera mechanism - Wikipedia
Cool!
Very cool, thanks for the link.
Learn something every day - Found by sponge divers 100 years ago. It’s at 116’ deep. Had know idea sponge divers would free dive that deep (at least according to wiki - Sponge diving - Wikipedia )
Very cool! However, my money (not a lot of money, though) is on that newly-discovered bronze disc with a picture of a bull on it not being part of the Antikythera Mechanism instrument.
I’m surprised its taken this long to uncover more stuff from this wreck. I would have thought that divers would have been like white on rice over that place for the last 100 years.
How accurately has the shipwreck been dated? IIRC the Antikythera mechanism itself was originally dated to the late 2nd century BC but a detailed analysis, published a few years ago, of the clock’s “epoch setting” suggests that it was designed in the time of Archimedes! (And presumably, therefore, in service for over a century before lost at sea?)
