The Antikythera Mechanism - http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Antikythera_mechanism
The device itself was surprisingly thin; about 33 cm high, 17 cm wide and 9 cm thick, made of bronze and originally mounted in a wooden frame. It was inscribed with a text of over 2,000 characters, of which about 95% have been deciphered. The full text of the inscription has not yet been published.
