Reportedly found in the Austrian town of Fuschl am See, researchers are claiming they have dug up what looks like a 2,800-year-old Mesopotamian clay tablet cell phone. (Judging by the picture quality, the photos were also taken on a 2,800-year-old cell phone.)
According to the very reputable MysteriousUniverse.org, not much is known about what archaeologists were looking for when they came across this piece of not-so-terrestrial history, but it probably wasn't clay Sumerian tablets from the 13th century BCE.
How did a cuneiform tablet make its way to modern-day Austria, you ask? After all, Mesopotamia never expanded north or west of modern-day Turkey. Well, the theory proposes that aliens created Sumerian civilization, then left the artifact behind after a failed attempt to introduce people to the great communicative powers of cellular phones.
Sadly, like Damascus steel, the technology to make functioning clay cell phones is still not known.
