Meaning of oopart | Babel Free
Definitions
An object found in a very unusual or apparently impossible archaeological context (like the Coso sparkplug found in an allegedly 500,000-year-old geode) which would challenge conventional historiography and chronology if authentic.
Examples
“"Out-Of-Place-Artifacts." These ooparts are artifacts or objects that archeologists have found in digging into ancient civilizations and that appear to be out-of-place […]”
“In many cases, the technical sophistication of the ooparts extends far beyond the inventive capabilities of the ancient peoples among whose remains they were discovered.”
