Foreign conspiracy theorist Joseph Bauer shared his next unusual find with users of the World Wide Web. The researcher was looking at pictures of Sumerian bas-reliefs on the Web when he unexpectedly discovered an amazing element in two images.
The sculptural reliefs show the gods of the ancient people of southern Mesopotamia, who wear accessories on their wrists that were very unusual for that time.
These are items similar to ordinary wristwatches that many of us wear every day.
It is known for certain that these bas-reliefs were made in the IV-III millennia BC. Thus, it is impossible to explain where the characters on them got the modern-looking wristwatches. Internet regulars, of course, put forward some interesting hypotheses.
Some commentators believe that the Sumerians were a very highly developed civilization that invented devices for determining the time of day long before us. According to others, the creatures in the drawings are not people, but aliens from another planet, who gave the ancient people advanced technologies.
Skeptics, as you might easily guess, assume that we are not looking at a watch, but some ceremonial bracelets that have no functional purpose. Either way, Bauer's intriguing find rocked the Web and made many of us question our knowledge of history.
