A statue showing a young girl holding up what appears to be a laptop -- complete with USB ports -- has sparked a frenzy among conspiracy theorists.
The statue, 'Grave Naiskos of an Enthroned Woman with an Attendant' is in The J. Paul Getty Museum in Malibu, California.
'I am not saying that this is depicting an ancient laptop computer,' said YouTuber StillSpeakingOut.
'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.'
In the gallery's description, the object is described as a 'shallow chest' -- but conspiracy theorists are having none of that.
StillSpeakingOut says it, 'depicts an astonishing object which bears a striking resemblance with a modern laptop or some hand-held device.'
The strange image is just one of many seemingly anachronistic objects picked out by conspiracy theorists -- below is a moment in a Charlie Chaplin film where someone appears to be using a mobile phone.

Yes, but that was only because of a reverse causality loop malware exploit.

There’s a statue of some Roman dude in the Louvre that looks exactly like he’s taking a selfie with a smart phone.
We LOL’d and snickered and took a bunch of pictures of THAT one, like the low-culture rednecks that we basically are. ;-)

I’m convinced time travel is possible. Otherwise, how did all those artifacts from ancient times end up in our century? Hmmmmm?

LOL!

That’s why the claim about the mobile phone is obvious nonsense — clearly the woman was using a 23rd century communicator she was given as part of the USS Enterprise’ away team.

The ancient Greeks and Romans used wax tablets
You write a message with a stylus in the wax, then close the tablet. The wood protects the message. After the recipient has read the message, the wax can be smoothed out to erase it.

I think you’re confusing time travel with archeology :-)

There was a thread on this picture some years back. Not sure who is doing what appears to be a "cell phone walk-and-talk" here.
