Antikythera Mechanism Research Project

http://www.livescience.com/1166-scientists-unravel-mystery-ancient-greek-machine.html This item has come up over and over again - Erich Von Daniken and others of similar persuasion. Anytime someone wants to make a case for alien intervention in human affairs, the Antikythera Mechanism is pushed into the spotlight as "proof". The only thing this proves to me is that ancient man had access to technologies from their own time and produced by their own minds and intellect. My thought is that we are not evolving into a super species, but at the very least, we have de-evolved and forgotten so much of what was once accessible. At some point historians will need to concede that we have gone backward in many ways in technologies.
