A working model of an ancient computer was recently recreated in London.

A computer is defined as:
An electronic device for storing and processing data, typically in binary form, according to instructions given to it in a variable program.
I think this is more than likely just a machine that happeneds to be a calender.

I guess that all depends on how you define the computer, the computer records information and stores it in some way, perhaps you could be call a computer. But it's more like a clock. Would you call a clock the computer? This seems to have the same functional of a clock just more long-term.

It shows that our ancestors had much greater astrological understanding that we give them credit for, to the point where thing create a machine to calculate the heavenly object movements. I'm curious how accurate this machine calculated the movements of the stars and planets? Still amazes me regardless whether it's a computer or machine.

Of course the knowledge of these things was here, we just assume in our arrogance that our ancestors couldn't possibly had this kind of knowledge.
I say it's a machine, a simple machine. I would think that a computer would have to have some sort of chip in it. And if this does, it's not visible anywhere. AND, this is a recreation of what they found, so they would have made it without any such chips. So, even if the original was a computer, and I'm not saying i think it was, this one is a machine.
It's still cool, though.

It's definitely a simple machine, there is no way to import a program and have it spit out processed information. It's the same information all the time.

This is a reconstruction of the Antikythera Device that sponge divers found in 1900 off the coast of Anticythera, a Greek island in the Aegean Sea.
More on this here:

It was recovered from the Antikythera wreck.

Everyone is entitled to believe what they want, so if you want to think it's a computer, go right ahead. I'm sticking with machine.

Famed Roman shipwreck reveals more secrets
Archeologists have conducted a new survey of the famed Roman shipwreck that originally gave us the Antikythera Mechanism, discovering the size of the wreck to be double what was previously discovered, and contains more of the same calcified objects that produced the geared mechanism - indicating more such mechanisms may be retrieved.
Ancient artifacts resembling the Antikythera mechanism, an ancient bronze clockwork astronomical calculator, may rest amid the Roman shipwreck that yielded the device in 1901.
Marine archaeologists report they have uncovered new secrets of the shipwreck famed for yielding an amazingly sophisticated astronomical calculator. An international survey team says the ship is twice as long as originally thought and contains many more calcified objects amid the ship's lost cargo.
At the Archaeological Institute of America meeting in Seattle, marine archaeologist Brendan Foley, will report on the first survey of Greece's famed Antikythera island shipwreck since 1976. The ancient Roman shipwreck was lost off the Greek coast around 67 BC, filled with statues and the famed astronomical clock.
"The ship was huge for ancient times," Foley says. "Divers a century ago just couldn't conduct this kind of survey but we were surprised when we realized how big it was. The (objects) may just be collections of bronze nails, but we won’t know until someone takes a look at them".
