I used to think the Antikythera mechanism was the coolest ancient tech, but now I'm all in on Nebra Sky Disk
For years I was obsessed with that Greek computer from 100 BC, but then I read about the Nebra Sky Disk from 1600 BC found in Germany. It's a bronze disk with gold sun and stars, and it's the OLDEST known depiction of the cosmos at 3,600 years old. That blew my mind more because it's way earlier and shows people tracking the sky way before I thought anyone was. Anyone else change their mind on which ancient artifact is the most impressive?

Honestly, it's wild how these ancient finds keep pushing back what we think we know about human history. Kinda makes you wonder what other everyday stuff we're getting totally wrong about the past too.
