Showerthought: my old professor said the Antikythera mechanism was basically a one-off trophy, and I'm starting to think he was right
He said a shipwreck full of bronze statues wouldn't be carrying a working navigation computer in 70 BC, and that one device doesn't prove a lost tradition. Does anyone have a find that actually shows a technology was widespread instead of a single rich guy's toy?
