Prompt: In my opinion, the most interesting archeological artifact is the Antikythera Mechanism. The object was discovered in 1901 amongst the wreckage of a shipwreck. Scientists believe that the object dates back to somewhere between 205 to 60 BCE. Only a third of the original astronomical calculator survives. It is believed that the mechanism was used to predict the movements of the Sun, Moon, and some of the planets decades in advance! To read more about it, please click here for a scientific report.
Ok wait fun fact there’s a replica of the Greek Parthenon in Nashville… we visited when we were there over the summer bc fiancé is a huge history buff. They had a part of an exhibit on this and it was the most interesting thing to me and I had so many questions!!!!!!!! This is super cool to me and so hard to wrap my head around.
Congrats!
