Is This an Ancient Laptop?

There's a new conspiracy theory out there, but instead of invoking big government or aliens, it questions whether there's a laptop carved into an ancient Greek statue.

 

That's right — there's a theory out there saying that a funerary statue of a woman, dated to about 100 B.C., shows her looking at a modern laptop or a handheld digital device. The theory, proposed by the anonymous YouTube user StillSpeakingOut, ventures that the ancient Oracle of Delphi may have foreseen the invention of laptops, and told people about it.

 

"Just so we are clear, I'm not saying that this relief was depicting an ancient laptop computer," StillSpeakingOut said in the 100-second-long video. [supernatural Powers? Tales of 10 Historical Predictions]

 

But "Greek tales about the Oracle of Delphi, which was supposed to allow the priests to quote-unquote connect with the gods and retrieve advanced information of various aspects," made him wonder whether the statue represented a prediction, StillSpeakingOut said.

 

In fact, the object depicted on the statue does look something like a laptop, said Jeffrey Spier, the senior curator of antiquities at the J. Paul Getty Museum in Malibu, California, which owns the statue.

 

But, of course, it's not, Spier said.

 

Instead, the object may be a jewelry box, a shallow chest or possibly a hinged mirror, as "we have hinged mirrors from this time period," Spier said. Perhaps it's a box containing incense, although there's no incense burner in the scene, so that may be a stretch, he added.

 

Another historian debunked StillSpeakingOut's idea that the so-called laptop has USB ports in its side.

 

"The 'USB ports' are drill holes for the attachment of a bronze object, or perhaps a separate piece of marble," said Jeff Hurwit, a professor of art history and classics at the University of Oregon.

Okay reading this and seeing the relief. Yes I see what you mean. Maybe just maybe that is a woman looking at her mirror. You also have to consider writing style as well. IDK. To sum this up JUST GET AN X-RAY

.......................................................................

Well did a group of people evolved from apes, traveled through space, bomb the dinosaurs and mixed in with the race that was already presented? Or maybe that was all a lie to hide the greater truth. ( this is from Trigun )

Look it has been shown that many artifacts have been proven that various civilizations had very powerful technology. But it has also been shown that these communities probably suffered a great deal as well.

Take that horrible Zika virus. It does not affect grown ups, but if it is in our systems. There is a good chance that we all could turn into a bunch of mentally disabled planet of morons. So far such artifacts have shown different skull sizes. That means African people did not have an evolution. This means ( as with cats * ) humans was affected by a plague ( usually spread by vermin ) that lead to the devolution of mankind.

Thus proven that man did not evolve from apes and society was dumbed down because of a virus simular to Zika.

...............................

There is also the legend of the Northern African man who walked upon the EuroAsian continent and encountered a deformed snake like woman. From that came a new race of people.

.................

So asides of the flying car, evolution, and cat got wings*. We all could say that man did not evolved and a virus that caused birth defects is what led to the devolution of man.

.............

However who really bombed the dinosaurs. Was it the supreme being ???
