The History Channel program on the Antikythera mechanism was awesome...as were their other shows on ancient technologies like the first steam engine...

I saw the program on the History Channel. What was really impressive was the fact the mechanism was hand-made. The show also demonstrated how the Greeks also had an early version of the flame-thrower and napalm. They used it as a devastating naval weapon. Great show.
