The find was retrieved from a shipwreck off the coast of the Greek island Antikythera more than a century ago. The instrument is believed to have been designed and constructed by Greek scientists and is dated between 60BC and 205BC. The device, housed in the remains of a wooden box, was found as one lump and later separated into three main fragments which are now divided into 82 separate pieces after conservation efforts.

Unexpected Discovery of the Lady of Baza in Granada
The Lady of Baza was discovered in 1971 by Francisco José Presedo, a Spanish archaeologist. In July that year, Presedo was excavating in a pre-Roman necropolis called Cerro del Santuario, which is situated to the north of Baza, in Granada, the south of Spain. As the excavations were going on, a worker’s tool struck something hard in the ground. Initially, the object looked like a piece of colored rock. Presedo was called to inspect the object. More earth was removed, and the face of a woman soon emerged. Eventually, a seated statue measuring 1.2 m (4 feet) in height was unearthed. The statue became known as the Lady of Baza.
