In this episode of Phlox Theory hosted by Jerry Savage, historical artifacts, specifically the Antikythera Mechanism and the Baghdad Battery, are placed under the microscope. The Antikythera Mechanism, believed to be the world's first known computer, was a technologically advanced bit of kit discovered in a Greek shipwreck. The Baghdad Battery, a historical artifact discovered in ancient Baghdad, possibly evidences that electricity was understood as early as 200 BC. The episode captures not only the magnificent tales of these artifacts but the shared enthusiasm of Jerry's listeners. The episode concludes, as always, with a prompt for the listeners to keep exploring the past and keep their curiosity alive.
