• The Enigma Machine — A WWII German encryption device. once thought unbreakable, was decoded by Polish mathematicians and Alan Turing, helping shorten the war and shaping modern computing and cryptography.
• Egyptian “Helicopter” and “Light Bulb” Carvings — These carvings on a stone door lintel only look like modern technology due to pareidolia. The “helicopter” is overlapping hieroglyphs from two pharaohs, and the “light bulb” is a symbolic religious image.
• The 800‑Year‑Old Geomancy Machine — A beautifully crafted medieval device from Mosul used for geomancy (divination). It simply organizes symbols used to interpret fortunes. It reflects the scientific and artistic sophistication of the Islamic Golden Age.
