More than a century later, scientists recovered his bones, attempted to extract his DNA, and uncovered an entire second shipwreck resting just a few hundred feet away. This is the story of the Antikythera Mechanism, the machine that modeled the sun, the moon, and the eclipses of the ancient sky, and of the skeleton that may prove this wreck was hiding far more than anyone has realized. Inside this video: how a crew of Greek sponge divers stumbled onto a field of bronze statues in 1900 and paid for it with their lives, how a corroded lump of bronze turned out to hold more than 30 precision-cut gears capable of tracking the sun, the moon, and the eclipse cycles of the ancient sky, and why historians still cannot agree on who actually built it. We also cover Jacques Cousteau's 1976 return to the wreck, the human bone his team barely mentioned in their published results, and the 2016 discovery of the skeleton researchers nicknamed Pamphilos, found just meters from the Mechanism itself. Finally, we dig into the unresolved DNA and isotope analysis meant to reveal who he was, and the newly discovered second shipwreck found in 2024, resting only six hundred feet from the original site. New episodes on ancient mysteries, lost civilizations, and impossible discoveries go up regularly, so subscribe if you do not want to miss the next one. If this story got under your skin, leave a like and drop a comment with your own theory on who Pamphilos really was, and what that second shipwreck might be hiding. Ancient mysteries. Forbidden archaeology. Impossible engineering. The kind of history that does not add up cleanly, explored in cinematic detail every week on Buried Signal. #AntikytheraMechanism #AncientMysteries #LostCivilizations #Archaeology #AncientHistory #UnexplainedMysteries #HiddenHistory #ForbiddenArchaeology #AncientTechnology #DeepSeaDiscoveries #AncientAliensDebate #HistoryMystery
