About this listen

Is our history book wrong? In this episode of Deep Dive: Continuity Quest, we investigate "Out-of-Place Artifacts" (OOPArts)—objects that seem to be technologically impossible for the time period they were found in.

From a 500,000-year-old spark plug and a hammer encased in ancient limestone to the undeniable genius of the Antikythera Mechanism, we separate the geological pranks from the genuine anomalies. Did the Greeks build an analog computer? Did the Romans sail to Mexico? Or are we just projecting modern technology onto the past?

Join us as we debunk the hoaxes, analyze the chemistry, and stand in awe of the real ancient engineering that history forgot.

Topics Covered: The London Hammer, The Coso Artifact, The Baghdad Battery, Ancient Airplanes, and the Antikythera Mechanism.
