For nearly a century, thousands of strange holes carved into a barren Peruvian hillside puzzled archaeologists, historians, and even conspiracy theorists.

      They found that cool Greek analouge sort of computer in the Mediterranean from bc era.

      This article I think is full of shit by the way and this is not cool at all for use as a computer, you think the computers in the 60s were big.

      Anyway I think this is the Greek thing.https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Antikythera_mechanism
