Thanks for sharing Capt Daniel Goodman about the Antikythera mechanism which seems to be one of the earliest known serious analog computing devices.
It would be fascinating if the hypothesis that the instrument has been dated either between 150 and 100 BC or, according to a more recent view, at 205 BC would actually be true.
