The new episode "Ancient Computer" follows the ingenious detective work that painstakingly discovered the truth about the ancient Greek device: It was an astonishingly sophisticated astronomical calculator and eclipse predictor, unrivaled until the era of modern science and believed to be from the workshop of Archimedes.
