Top 5 Gadgets of the Ancient World
  • by Majed Abdeljaber

1 Antikythera Mechanism 
Made almost 2000 years ago, the Antikythera
Mechanism is believed to be one of the oldest
computers in the world. Found in the ruins of a
ship, it was considered for a long time to be
clock but recent discoveries have demonstrated it
could do so much more. Originating from Greece,
this ancient gadget had the ability to predict
when a solar eclipse would happen and even could
organize the calendar in cycles of four years.

2 The Coso Artifact
The fact that you would find a spark plug is
nothing special. But what happens when that spark
plug is actually embedded in hard rock, one that
dates from as long as 500.000 years ago? The Coso
Artifact has disappeared and it is not to be
studied using modern technology. There are three
suppositions however when it comes to its
origins one, that it was made by an extremely
intelligent ancient civilization such as
Atlantis two, that it came from the future and
three, that it is of alien origin.

3 Baigong Pipes
Located on top of Mountain Baigong, the Baigong
pipes lead directly into a pyramid. The
interesting thing about these rusty pipes is that
no signs of civilizations in the area has ever
been unearthed there. This means that the reason
for which these have been made is still unknown.
However, they are of an uniform size and they do
have a special pattern, a salt lake being
situated in their close vicinity.

4 Ancient Sandstone Xylophone
The link between humans and music is older than
any of us can imagine. In the early 20th century,
scientists have discovered these ancient
sandstones and they believed them to have been
used for grinding grains. It took a lot of time
and a fortunate accident before their real
purpose was discovered it seems that this
ancient gadget is actually a musical instrument,
this being discovered by accident by an
archaeologist.

5 Roman Dodecahedra
While there are many fascinating Roman artifacts
that can easily pose as ancient gadgets, this is
by far one of the best. Amazingly enough, it was
found in several countries, including Germany,
France and Switzerland. Even though many
archaeologists have tried to study it, no clear
purpose was identified. They were able to
identify certain symbols on it there are related
to the Zodiac but they are not certain whether it
was used for surveying or it just had a
decorative purpose.
