[Verse 1]
Down beneath the Aegean blue
A shipwreck held a secret true
Bronze and green with ocean's rust
A mechanism lost to dust
What machine could this have been?
Ancient gears that none had seen
[Chorus]
X-ray vision sees inside
Pattern recognition as our guide
Reverse engineering shows the way
Algorithms solve mysteries today
Thirty-seven gears reveal
An ancient computational wheel
[Verse 2]
Tomography scans slice by slice
Creating images precise
Three dimensions come to light
Without taking it apart right
Every gear and every wheel
The hidden structure now revealed
[Chorus]
X-ray vision sees inside
Pattern recognition as our guide
Reverse engineering shows the way
Algorithms solve mysteries today
Thirty-seven gears reveal
An ancient computational wheel
[Verse 3]
Simulation runs the gears
Calculating through the years
Eclipses, moon phases too
Olympic games the Greeks once knew
A computer made of bronze
Two thousand years since it was spawned
[Bridge]
Sophistication lost in time
Mathematical paradigm
Fourteen centuries would pass
Before such skill returned at last
The mystery finally decoded
Ancient wisdom now uploaded
[Chorus]
X-ray vision sees inside
Pattern recognition as our guide
Reverse engineering shows the way
Algorithms solve mysteries today
Thirty-seven gears reveal
An ancient computational wheel
[Outro]
From the depths of mystery
Algorithms set knowledge free
Antikythera's secret told
By the digital age of old
