I remember the documentary narrater saying the first X-rays of the encrusted items convinced the historians it had fallen off a ship from a later period.
One documentary showed an English model maker making one, and he found it could be made with such fine gears using the technology of the time.
One documentary showed an old abandoned building, turns out it is a water clock it showed planet movement, sun and moon movement, days, etc. that is around the same era as the Antikythera Mechanism.
Fantastic !
