The Antikythera Mechanism is an ancient astronomical computer built by the Greeks around 80 B.C. It was found on a shipwreck by sponge divers in 1900, and its exact function still eludes scholars to this day. In September, 2005, as part of the Antikythera Research Project, we were able to access the device in the National Archaeological Museum in Athens to apply reflectance imaging techniques to the front and rear surfaces of the > 70 fragments that comprise the mechanism. A small portion of these ‘reflectance images’, or PTMs, are provided at reduced resolution below. Clicking on these images will bring up the Java PTM viewer for controlling lighting. This may take a few seconds, so be patient. If it fails to run, you need to download the Java Runtime Environment. Once running, dragging the mouse with the left button depressed will change lighting direction. Surface enhancements can be performed by right clicking in the Java viewer -> effects -> specular.
