The Z3 was the first operational turing-complete computer (May 1941, a few years before ENIAC). Babbage's analytical engine was never actually built.

For me, as a software developer, it's about detailed design rather than implementation. 1837-s design is much more impressive than 1941-s implementation (100+ years later - you'd better build something with all that time).

I thought it would be about the Analytical Engine.

Funny, I was expecting the Antikythera mechanism.

Antikythera is not Turing-complete unlike the brain. So which prehistoric creature did they resurrect?
