Aggravation among conspiracy therapists - they saw a laptop on an ancient Greek monument
Supporters of the conspiracy theory of time travel are confident that sometime in the future, physics will reach such a level that it will find a way to move in time. And this means that the time machine exists now - it can appear at any time.
This weekend conspiracy therapists received another confirmation of their theory. They began to distribute in their circles photographs of an ancient Greek gravestone, which depicts a woman with a device that looks like a laptop. Presumably, the “laptop” used the Delphic oracle Pythia when giving out accurate predictions to visitors to the temple, for this it was necessary to process large data arrays on a computer.

The tombstone itself dates back to 100 BC, the exhibit is stored in the Getty Museum in California (USA).
Of course, a normal person does not need to explain that this is not a laptop or a Pythia, but to prove this, of course, is impossible.
The relief on a burial stone 94 cm high and 120 cm wide depicts a rich woman reclining in a chair with gold bracelets on her wrists and shoulders, which is drawn by hand to an object brought by a servant. “The depiction of the deceased, which stretches to the object offered by the servant, has a long history in Greek funerary art and probably points to the hope of continuing earthly pleasures in the afterlife,” the museum description of the exhibit says.
Conspiracy therapists are sure that the subject is too wide and narrow for a jewel box.
“Such statements are ridiculous because this is clearly a box,” comments American archaeologist Dorothy Lobel for Discovery Channel .
Another famous archaeologist, Janet Burnett Grossman, suggested that it was a flat box or a mirror.
There are versions that this is a wax tablet, on which official documents were written in those days, such as birth certificates .
Usually, men wrote on wax tablets, and the object really looks like a small laptop, Forbes writes .
It was a purely masculine affair. But there is some evidence that the goddess of wisdom, Athena, worked with a wax tablet, so why should not a rich woman repeat the actions of a goddess?
However, conspiracy therapists are not appeased. They say that the sculpture clearly shows the holes on the side of the tablet - these are USB ports. On the other hand, professional archaeologists parry that the holes are often found on ancient Greek sculptures - they were made to attach some element made of perishable material, such as a wooden sword in the hand of a warrior. There could also be some kind of wooden case for a tablet or box.
Conspiracy therapists say that this is not the first proof of a time machine theory. For example, in an ancient film with Charlie Chaplin, a man with a mobile phone accidentally got into the frame.
Filming was done on the street, and the time traveler probably did not notice the movie camera.
Despite all these silly rumors, one can say thanks to the supporters of conspiracy theories. Thanks to them, we have studied well the remarkable specimen of ancient Greek art.
