The Antikythera Mechanism, discovered in 1901 off the Greek island of Antikythera, is considered the world's earliest known analog computer. It was found among the wreckage of a 1st-century BCE ship and revealed a sophisticated system of bronze gears designed to calculate celestial movements. Recent advancements in AI and imaging have further unraveled its secrets, raising questions about the breadth of ancient scientific knowledge and its potential to reshape our understanding of history. The mechanism, roughly the size of a shoebox, was likely encased in a wooden box with protective panels and featured dials and pointers on its front and back faces. By turning a crank, users could track the positions of the Sun, Moon, and possibly planets, predict eclipses, and monitor cycles like the 19-year Metonic cycle and the 223-month Saros cycle for lunar and solar alignments
Ariane Gransac passed away in Perpignan on Sunday 5 April 2026, at the age of 84: her funeral is to take place at Perpignan crematorium on 15 April.
Rather than succumb to sadness at her leaving, I would prefer to remember her joie de vivre back when I first met her some sixty years ago around 1966, following her brave participation in the unforgettable abduction in Rome of Franco’s ambassador to the Vatican.
Ariane Gransac is dead: a life that was intense, rebellious and anarchist
En passant Cuba declared six days mourning for the Catholic fascist, Franco when he died.
RIP Ben Morea
