In the past month, articles have been circulating on Internet forums and blogs stating that a 250-million-year-old microchip was found in Labinsk, Russia, and that the find was confirmed by the “University of Southern Polytechnic Nowoczerkaskiej.”
The photo of the purported microchip above has been published with these articles. Evidence of computer technology from such a remote age would indeed be an astounding find!
Epoch Times has learned that the university responsible for the investigation of the “microchip” is the Platov South-Russian State Polytechnic University. Many curious online commentators on the articles found it difficult to track down information on the “University of Southern Polytechnic Nowoczerkaskiej” because of the phonetic spelling.
