Claims that archeologists have uncovered what appears to be an 800-year-old mobile phone have driven conspiracy theorists to new heights.
Archeologists discovered the object in Austria, and it’s believed to be a clay model of a cell phone, Express reports. The keys of the model have cuneiform symbols carved into them.
The lack of information surrounding the strange object has led many people to call the phone-like discovery a hoax.
Despite such claims, some UFO hunters have suggested the object is evidence that aliens were once on Earth. Others have suggested the phone-like device proves time travel exists.
According to YouTube channel Paranormal Crucible, the object has a Sumerian-type writing style, which has been observed in various artifacts dating back to around 3,500BC.
“This type of writing is typically found in modern-day Iran or Iraq,” conspiracy website tothedeathmedia.com reported, according to Express
“It is evident from this cell phone like device that someone with advanced knowledge of the future created it,” Scott Waring, editor of UFO Sightings Daily, stated.
