Is this ancient statue proof that laptops and tablets were already used by the ancient Greeks (Hellenes)? Conspiracy theorists say that the object held by the woman (a tombstone with the motif of a crowned woman and her servant) is too small for a jewelry box, and the woman's eyes are also focused on the center of the lid, which is supposed to add ' 'proof' that it is a portable device. Skeptics, on the other hand, say that it is a waxed tablet that was used for writing in antiquity.
Were laptops and tablets already used in antiquity? This is how the conspiracy theorists are convinced, who do not claim that it is an antique laptop, but in the same breath remind the prophet of Delphi, which was supposed to allow priests to connect with the gods and retrieve information that was past time. Thus, the modern laptop is said to have ended up on a Greek sculpture dating back to BC (100 BC n. no.).
statue"Grave Naiskos of an Enthroned Woman with an Attendant'' is on display in the museum J. Paul Getty on Malibu, where the description does not mention a laptop or a tablet, but "only" lid of a shallow box.

These types of carved sculptures were part of the funeral protocol in ancient Greece, which were created in the hope that the deceased would have the same pleasures in the afterlife as in the homeland. Further fueling the conspiracy theory is the fact that the box has two holes, which are believed to be a USB input and a power input, and the fact that the dimensions of the box do not match the mystical Pandora's box.
