Santa comes to you with a special present

[Carlton Bach]

An acquaintance of mine works in Mandaean archeology, and he does a lot of reserach with 'magic bowls' of the type the Baghdad battery was allegedly found together with. He has seen similar items used to store documents in the late Sassanian period. Which suggests the dating and analysis may be completely off.

It'd be a pity, but certainly not the first time.
