The Antikythera Mechanism in the Archeological Museum

Thought to have been built in 150-100 BCE, it is regarded as the world's first complex scientific calculator.
It was found in the Antikythera shipwreck in 1901, but its function was not understood until much later.
See the Wikipedia entry for more details.
