Amazing find. Discoveries like this make me wonder what other past knowledge has been lost to time. What devices preceded this particular machine?

Seeing as it’s one of a kind and no others have been discovered, I think it’s alien knowledge, no disrespect meant. Plus in a 1000 yrs time, there would be a footprint of where ’said’ knowledge came from, not some random mechanics that weren’t around in the said time…….

bravosierra
To immediately assign such things as alien knowledge is insulting to the intelligence and ingenuity of our ancestors.
I imagine that one thousand years from now, our computers and cars will be labeled as alien knowledge as well.
