We’ve all seen BACK TO THE FUTURE, where all you need to have is an almanac of sports results from the future in order to make yourself a billionaire.

But the concept does lend itself to a bigger question if you were to time-travel further back in time to when ancient civilizations could be really impressed with what we see as everyday, common technology:  WHAT WOULD YOU BRING WITH YOU FROM THE FUTURE THAT WOULD MAKE ANCIENT CIVILIZATIONS BELIEVE YOU WERE A GOD?
