BIZARRE TALES: Out of Place Artifacts

BIZARRE TALES: Out of Place Artifacts

WARNING: EXPLICIT

As usual, Jack is joined by the bots to examine three bizarre tales of strange weirdness. This time, we're focusing on three out of place artifacts: a silver Norse coin found in America that predates Columbus, an electrical battery from ancient Iraq, and an analogue computer from Greek antiquity.
