The World's Oldest Computer May Have Predicted the Future (gizmodo.com)
Gizmodo reports: Discovered in an ancient shipwreck near Crete in 1901, the freakishly advanced Antikythera Mechanism has been called the world's first computer. A decades-long investigation into the 2,000 year-old-device is shedding new light onto this mysterious device... It wasn't programmable in the modern sense, but it's considered the world's first analog computer.
schwit1 shares a report from the Associated Press:: For over a century since its discovery in an ancient shipwreck, the exact function of the Antikythera Mechanism -- named after the southern Greek island off which it was found -- was a tantalizing puzzle.... After more than a decade's efforts using cutting-edge scanning equipment, an international team of scientists has now read about 3,500 characters of explanatory text -- a quarter of the original -- in the innards of the 2,100-year-old remains. They say it was a kind of philosopher's guide to the galaxy, and perhaps the world's oldest mechanical computer.

Of course you are right, but the PC lunatics here have to make sure the truth is covered up and censor what you say, even though it is true.Look at most any black country, they are totally fucked up disasters. They dont know how to run a damn thing. They didnt even invent peanut butter, it was invented by many white people before Carver. Even black "inventions" are frauds stolen from white people. All blacks can do is attack and destroy the work of better races and blame their own failures on other people.
The woman is a mentally ill psychopath as well. However, I am curious. Hillary caused the deaths at Bengazi. Where exactly did Trump kill people through action or orders? Mind you, I want neither to be president but if you are going to make a bold statement, a link is helpful.
