He disappeared July 30, 1975 and was rumoured to be buried in the end zone of Giant Stadium.

Probably a modern day treasure hunter that got trapped in the wreck.

Apparently he knew what that darn mechanism was supposed to be used for, and had to be muffled permanent-like.

I had hoped that they might find survivors.

“Decoding the Heavens” Jo Marchant — one of the best books I’ve ever read on the discovery in about 1900 of the ship off the coast of Antikythera and the treasures from circa 1 bc aboard — including the “antikythera mechanism” purported to be the first computer. Absolutely amazing.

That device was a remarkable find.
I still find it hard to believe how advanced it was. Also the quality of the metal work was beyond what anyone thought possible.

I say that mechanism was dropped onto the wreck site centuries later off a different ship. Sunken Civ disagreed

The first computer programmer?
DNA will be revealing, eh?
BTW, I just read that DNA can now even be extracted from the plaque on teeth.

Maybe Doctor Who made it while he was on a holiday and figured it would be a source of entertainment in later centuries as people tried to figure it out.
