2,000 year old 'computer' discovered: How tech and shipwrecks are rewriting human history

We've been taking this steady incremental approach to the shipwreck, building the foundation of knowledge about it, then posing specific research questions, trying to answer them, and seeing what the next phase brings. When we first got to Antikythera in 2012, one of the questions we had was, does the island hold a whole lot of submerged cultural resources or is this the only shipwreck out there?" Foley said.

Investigators had only scratched the surface of the Antikythera in the last nearly two thousand years. A second wreck--mentioned in passing by Cousteau's team but never really explored--had been keeping the first, better-explored ship company all these years, practically untouched.
