82% Informative
The Antikythera Mechanism was found in 1901 in a Greek shipwreck.
It is generally considered the oldest computer in history, dating back more than 2,000 years .
Researchers from the National University of Mar del Plata in Argentina now theorize that it was more of a toy than a working computer.
They found manufacturing inaccuracies would have caused the device to jam so often it would have been unusable.
Mechanism may have been used to chart the movement of planets and the passing of days and years .
It was created at a time when the Romans had gained control of much of Greece .
The device could track the movements of Mercury , Venus , Mars , Jupiter and Saturn - the only planets known at the time.
