I am always a bit uneasy when people talk about how incredible it was that ancient people arranged some stones to line up with the sun on the equinoxes. Our predecessors are not given much credit. Sure some of them build impressive structures like the pyramids or Stonehenge but the rest were just ignorant heathens.
In 1901 divers discovered the Antikythera mechanism in a Mediterranean shipwreck. It is amazing! Not bad for a 2000 year old design.
