The Antikythera Mechanism is an analogue computer found in 1901 by sponge fishermen at the bottom of the sea near Rhodes. It has been dated to somewhere around 100 B.C.E. Then there is the Baghdad battery (about 2000 years old and sophisticated plastic surgery (2500 years ago in India) and trepanation, a cranial surgery to alleviate some neurological disorders (worldwide practice dating back to the Neolithic period and continuing into the 21st century). So who knew? Now it can be you who knows. Caution: great visuals but some are disturbing. Instructor: Geoff Kashdan
