An ancient Greek analogue computer used to predict astronomical positions and eclipses for calendar and astrological purposes decades in advance.
The artifact was retrieved from the sea in 1901, and identified on 17 May 1902 as containing a gear wheel by archaeologist Valerios Stais, among wreckage retrieved from a wreck off the coast of the Greek island Antikythera. The instrument is believed to have been designed and constructed by Greek scientists and has been variously dated to about 87 BC, or between 150 and 100 BC, or to 205 BC, or to within a generation before the shipwreck, which has been dated to approximately 70-60 BC.]]>

The unfinished obelisk is nearly one-third larger than any ancient Egyptian obelisk ever erected.

Elxis extensions extend the built-in functionality.
Elxis has some global extension types and some others that are component specific. The most important extensions are the Components. A component handles the user request and generates the corresponding output which is visible in the center area of the site. Only one component can run in each page. Depending on the user's request Elxis decides which component to load. Modules, on the other hand are small blocks shown around the component on the left, right, top and bottom areas of the site.]]>
