Ancient Computer, recently released on NOVA, investigates in detail the Antikythera mechanism. This device is really stunning. Charles Babbage is usually credited with the first computer — his difference engine. However, the Antikythera mechanism shows that the first known computer was actually developed in ancient times. Perhaps even more ancient humans, like the Babylonians or Egyptians, had such machines, their devices lost or destroyed.

Containing hundreds of uploads of deep house/underground/dark songs, I explored the channel. To my amazement and happiness, I found that the user had posted about 30 playlists, containing probably a thousand or so songs of the deep house/dark style. I Love IT when I make such finds on the Internet!! The user has a taste (perhaps this is not the best term) for music that I find remarkably similar to my own. Keep it up!
