Researchers\u00a0counted on the unique 400kV microfocus computed tomography<br \/>\n(CT) system. The outcome not only led to an astonishing new\u00a0theory of how the mechanism worked, but also to the reading of\u00a0inscriptions that remained unseen for more than 2,000 years.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><strong>Salvaged 100 years ago from a shipwreck<\/strong><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Named after its place of discovery in 1901 in a Roman shipwreck, the\u00a0Antikythera Mechanism is technically more complex than any other\u00a0device for at least a millennium afterwards. The team of scientists\u00a0behind the Antikythera Mechanism Research Project succeeded in\u00a0solving the puzzle of its purpose. Project results confirm that the\u00a0mechanical computer was designed to track the movements of\u00a0heavenly bodies, specifically the Sun, Moon and Planets.\u00a0The extraordinary mechanism is an agglomeration of bronze\u00a0gearwheels, dials and inscriptions that has puzzled and amazed\u00a0scientists for more than a hundred years. It consists of myriad gears,<br \/>\ncogs and differentials to accommodate the eccentricities of the\u00a0wandering stars. The Antikythera Mechanism is now understood\u00a0to operate as a complex mechanical \u201ccomputer\u201d that is designed\u00a0to track the cycles of the Solar System and calculate calendars or\u00a0astrological events.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Learn more&#8230;.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/peoplenews.gr\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/02\/antikythera-ct-en-1.pdf\">antikythera-ct-en (1)<\/a><\/p>\n<p>More information about CT scanning can be found at<br \/>\nhttp:\/\/www.nikonmetrology.com\/Products\/X-ray-and-CTInspection<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>In an exciting link-up between high-tech industry and international\u00a0universities, the secrets of a 2000 year old astronomical calculating\u00a0device \u2013 the Antikythera Mechanism \u2013 were unraveled.
