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 安蒂基西拉装置

该装置是一个钟型的仪器，制作于公元前85年左右，1900年在希腊的安蒂基西拉附近被发现。该装置在船上被用作导航工具，因为它能精确地预测任何给定一天的太阳、月亮以及5大已知行星的位置。该装置包含一套以精密技术制造的复杂齿轮系统，该系统可与14世纪的时钟媲美。由于其构造的精密性、其对宇宙天体运动近乎精确的预测以及跨越1300年的明显技术差距，UFO迷们将此引为外星人接触人类的证据，因为人类不可能那么早地掌握这种复杂的技术。但是，如果外星人真是此装置的主人的话，他们很可能不会只告诉希腊人五大行星，或者至少给他们一个指南针。当然，古希腊文献提到过类似的装置，但并没有提到来自其他星球的访客。
