History
The so-called Antikythera shipwreck dates to the second quarter of the first century BCE. Sponge divers discovered the shipwreck near Point Glyphadia on the Greek island of Antikythera in 1900. The wreck has produced numerous artifacts, including an object known commonly as the Antikythera mechanism.
