Here we have a rare relic used for sound based communication across exstreamly short distances.It once would have made use of planetery inferstructure to allow for communication across the planets surface. we belive that it would have been in use from the late 20th centuary (Gregorian calendar) to early 21st centuary.
The next step in intra-planatery communication came in the form of the smart phone. Contray to the name the smart phone only saw a marginal increase in processing power to it's predecessors barely ever reaching up a tera byte of active memory and never making use of any processing materials beyond electrical silicon based. What it did see though was the introduction of personal and portable access to a primative form of infomation web that the people of Earth at this time called the internet. This type of limited access primiative information webs can still be found in the origin super cluster in some of the historical reserves.
This is one of the rarest relics in all of our collections. A intact paper based book. Historical records speak of how physical books where the primary means of information dispersal for much of humanities first years, despite the fargility of the mediumn This particular example dates to the start of the 21st centuary (Gregorian calendar). It is in remarkablly good condition having almost certainly been moved off world before hyper-gamma wepontry was even invented seeing as it shows no signs of molecular decay.
The first step away from physical distribution of information came in the form of electroinics and the connection of them through the internet. But physical objects where still required to be able to access and absorb the information. This is one of the early ways in which the people of 21st centuary earth went about this. With a large screen made to accommodate the biological optical receptors that where the prefered form of sensory input at the time this device was one of the very first steps away from physical books.
Early humans used to entertain themselves through physical activities. This novel concept arose due to early biological creature need to mantain physical fitness for the purpose of both individual survival but also species survival. Spheres simlar to this, varing in size by up to a factor of ten, would be used to create novelty in theses activities.
In some ways this object can be likened to a 23rd dimensional hexa-puzzel that you might give to a child in there first millennium. But this simple objecy is close to the limits of human intelligence pre 33rd centuary genetic intiventions and the Andromeda procedure.
Chess was a popular game developed in the middle of the 2nd millennium that lasted all the way into the . Quantumn flux strategy games can be seen as the successors to chess and it's contemporaries that all became obselete after sub photon computation trivilized the search space required for solving the game. This particular piece is made of wood.
This is one of the more mysterious pieces in the collection we belive it to be some sort of ritual self-torture device.
