They STILL Don’t Know For Sure What This Ancient Greek Device Does

Some even think this could be an ancient computer.  Is that completely far out or is it a possibility?  Many think it was only a navigation device.

Archaeology is a fascinating field and was popularized by the Indiana Jones series of movies. Although there have been many artifacts that had once remained mysterious, many of them have had inscriptions that have been translated and the like. This unusual object however that was found off the coast of Greece remains a mystery. It almost looks like a nautical device but no one knows for sure.

Here is a bit more background on what it looked like when they found it:

It was found in quite a few pieces, but scientists say they come together to form an extremely intricate machine. Any other type of machine like it wouldn’t of been built for another 1000 years at least.

The machine so intricate that it baffles scientists how it was ever built.

Beyond that…even its uses, which, going by the way the machine looks to work and the instructions, are way way ahead of its time.

The country of Greece is more famous for its monuments and statues such as the one here at Delphi

This device however is very different from the typical findings in this region.

What do you think was the purpose of this artifact?  Was there astrological significance or something else?

Feel free to comment and we hope you like the video!

    Spoiler it’s a hydroelectric water dispenser used to flush out salt and can be used to generate electricity much like old paddle wheel houses.
