Greeks used laptops in 100 BC?
Legend has it that the Oracle of Delphi connected priests with gods, aliens and time travellers, who passed along advanced technology and information.
And conspiracy theorists claim that is how a modern-day laptop ended up in a Greek sculpture from 100 BC.
But historians say the sculpture is just a deceased woman 'touching the lid of a shallow chest'.
‘I am not saying that this is depicting an ancient laptop computer,’ StillSpeakingOut, conspiracy theorists, said in a video he released on YouTube in 2014.
‘But when I look at the sculpture I can’t help but think about the Oracle of Delphi, which was supposed to allow the priests to connect with the gods to retrieve advanced information and various aspects.’
It also depicts an object that closely resembles a modern laptop or handheld device with USB ports, explained StillSpeakingOut.
The statue, ‘Grave Naiskos of an Enthroned Woman with an Attendant’ is on display at The J. Paul Getty Museum in Malibu, California.
‘Lounging in a cushion armchair, a woman reaches out to touch the lid of a shallow chest held by a servant girl on this funerary,’ reads the historian’s description.
Those who don’t believe in the existence of supernatural beings, say the object is a wax tablet that ancient Greeks used for writing with a stylus or pen, reported Inquisitr.
But paranormal investigators argue that the ‘wax tablet’ shown in the funerary relief sculpture does not resemble any other wax tablets seen in Greek art.
‘I can’t help but think that Erich von Däniken had been right all this time and that most of these myths of magical artifacts given by the gods to a very restricted group of individuals in ancient civilizations were high-tech devices similar to what we have today,’ said StillSpeakingOut
