Here embedded in the calcium and carbonate, or lime encrusted matrix is actually a metal box which houses a mechanism of gears and wheels from the first century A.D., that we call a differential gear. That is a device that allows for gears to mesh and still turn at differing speeds. Once believed to have been invented after the Renaissance, this discovery is from a device taken from the submarine wreck of an ancient Greek trading vessel.
Called the Andekithera device, after the island beneath whose shoreline it was found by sponge divers, lurks evidence of an inventive machinery which is actually a computative instrument used by astronomers to predict the position of the sun, the moon, fixed stars and the zodiac's constellations with respect to eclipses and heavenly motions to make a reliable calendar.
