7Antikythera Mechanism

The Mechanism is a clock-like instrument from around 85 BC, that was discovered in 1900 near Antikythera, Greece. It was used aboard ships as a navigation tool because it could accurately predict locations of the sun, moon and the 5 known planets, at any given date. The device contained a complex system of gears, built with sophisticated technology, that rivaled that of 14th century clocks. Because of the precision involved in it’s construction, it’s almost exact predictions of cosmic bodies, and the apparent 1300 year gap in technology, UFO enthusiasts have cited this as evidence of alien contact, as humans could have never figured it’s complex technology out that early. However, if aliens were to blame, they would have probably told the Greeks about more than just five planets, or at least given them a magnetic compass. Of course ancient Greek literature mentions mechanisms like this one without mentioning other-worldly visitors.

7 安蒂基西拉裝置

該裝置是一個鐘型的儀器，制作于公元前85年左右，1900年在希臘的安蒂基西拉附近被發(fā)現(xiàn)。該裝置在船上被用作導(dǎo)航工具，因為它能精確地預(yù)測任何給定一天的太陽、月亮以及5大已知行星的位置。該裝置包含一套以精密技術(shù)制造的復(fù)雜齒輪系統(tǒng)，該系統(tǒng)可與14世紀(jì)的時鐘媲美。由于其構(gòu)造的精密性、其對宇宙天體運動近乎精確的預(yù)測以及跨越1300年的明顯技術(shù)差距，UFO迷們將此引為外星人接觸人類的證據(jù)，因為人類不可能那么早地掌握這種復(fù)雜的技術(shù)。但是，如果外星人真是此裝置的主人的話，他們很可能不會只告訴希臘人五大行星，或者至少給他們一個指南針。當(dāng)然，古希臘文獻提到過類似的裝置，但并沒有提到來自其他星球的訪客。
