The NYT is truly incompetent.
The Antikythera Mechanism is being reported as Greek by Reuters today, the History Channel identifies it as Greek.
Perhaps the NYT likes extinct empires.

See #11. I labeled it as Roman, probably misreading the article (it was on a Roman ship).

Technically speaking, the device was built at the height of the Roman empire (~2nd century CE), and Greece was part of that empire.

The NYT is truly incompetent. They are selective in what they report as news. This device was the topic of a thread on FR several months ago.
