In the fifth installment of this beloved swashbuckling series of films, Indiana Jones (Harrison Ford) races against time to retrieve a legendary dial, the Antikythera Mechanism, created by ancient Greek scientist Archimedes in the 3rd century BC that can change the course of history.

Two Kouros-type statues from the Archaic era are seen in photo released on Saturday. The statues were among four unearthed during excavations in October by the ephorate of antiquities of Fthiotida and Evrytania in the wider area of Atalanti in central Greece.

Bronze limbs, a sarcophagus lid, marble statue pieces, and a mysterious bronze disk were among the remains found during excavations of one of the world’s most ancient—and famous—shipwrecks.

Greece's Culture Ministry says archaeologists revisiting one of the most famous shipwrecks of ancient times off southern Greece have found fragments of bronze statues and a section of the wooden hull. A ministry statement says divers raised a complete arm and a section of pleated clothing from statues, and compacted metal objects that have yet to be cleaned and separated.

Wednesday's Google Doodle celebrates the 115th anniversary of the discovery of the Antikythera Mechanism, one of the most remarkable scientific objects of antiquity.

The 2nd-century BC device, often hailed as the world's oldest computer, was retrieved from a shipwreck by sponge divers in 1902 off the remote Aegean island.

To complement its ongoing "Voyage" exhibition, the Herakleidon Art Museum has launched a show on the Antikythera Mechanism. "An Ancient Greek Computer" presents pivotal moments in the study of the most complex mechanism of antiquity (2nd-1st century BC). Displays include models of the mechanism, drawings and radiographs.

Two archaeological findings in Greece, the Antikythera Man and the mass grave at Pheleron Delta were included in the top 10 discoveries for 2016 by “Archaeology” magazine. The publication is published by the Archaeological Institute of America and its editors announced their picks for the most compelling finds of the year expiring in two weeks. Following is the complete list:

Archaeologists excavating one of the richest shipwrecks of antiquity said Monday that they have found a 2,000-year-old depth-measuring device, and human bones that could help build an ancient mariner's genetic profile.

A new replica of the famous Antikythera Mechanism, the world’s first ‘analog computer’ as it is described, has been built and put on display at the National Observatory of Athens on Nymphs’ Hill in Thissio.

Antikythera Mechanism is perhaps the most advanced example of ancient technology to be recovered to date.
