by If you came across an 800-year-old mobile phone fossil you might wonder whether intelligent aliens visited us in the past, or somebody today managed to solve the challenge of time travel. But as far as historians are concerned, mobile phones, which started coming onto the market in the 1980s, definitely did not exist in the 13th century.
Technically, it is not a fossil, because it is not preserved in petrified form (in stone).
A YouTube video has emerged which claims to show an 800-year old artefact that looks just like a modern mobile phone.
Ah, so that's where it went...

If someone here has knowledge of cuneiform...?
was my first thought. The cuneiform is a bigger anachronism than the phone.
