The American naturalist and cryptozoologist, Ivan Terence Sanderson, coined the term OOPArt as the acronym for out-of-place artifact.

An OOPArt is a term for an object of historical, archaeological or paleontological interest found in a very unusual or seemingly impossible context. In archaeology, an OOPArt is any object displaying evidence of a technology that, according to uniformitarian or related paradigms, ought not exist in the particular geologic stratum in which it rests.

Simply put, an OOPArt is viewed as evidence of modern or even more-advanced technology from an ancient culture.
An OOPArt refers to the actual object itself.

In response to the October 2000 declaration made by the Queenslad researcher Ronald Pegg regarding his claim that he had found Evidence of Time Travel, in April 2009 a new term was coined by Eddy Pengelly in order to introduce some of his findings.

DOOPArt is an acronym for documented-out-of-place artifact

This is where documented accounts from ancient myths, stories, and texts reveal where ancient people describe the contents of an oopart in their own words and/or depict the oopart itself - which they apparently saw and/or held in their own hands.

Thus a DOOPArt is where the description and contents of a modern technological object have been found in very unusual or seemingly impossible contexts, such as being depicted in hieroglyphs or documented in ancient myths and legends as well as what are now known as religious texts.

But unlike the discovery of an out-of-place artifact during an archaeological dig, in these DOOPArt cases, only the documented descriptions of the oopart encounter have been discovered - and not the oopart itself.

Also unlike existing oopart studies which deem the ancient cultures themselves as having technology equal to or more advanced than our current level, a DOOPArt specifically describes certain mid 1990s technology, that has somehow been seen operating in the past.
Here are four modern technological objects (DOOPArts) which Pegg claim have been seen in the past and were subsequently described in ancient myths, legends & stories and documented in related sacred texts.

Two cd-roms*, a plastic cd Jewel Case, and a PC Desk-top Computer System.

* Ancient Civilizations of the Mediteranean is about six civilizations from the Mediterranean region, and Grolier Encyclopedia is about history.

Ronald Pegg issued this challenge:

Anyone sitting in front of a computer, running the 1995 Ancients multimedia cd-rom, can compare the pictures on screen to descriptions from ancient accounts and sacred texts and observe that what the ancient person was describing, as written in their personal account, is what is also exactly in front of you now.

Eddy Pengelly
PPHC-SG's chief researcher, and Workshop Host (2003-2012) took up the challenge, selected 10 ancient narratives, and invited people to attend a workshop at the PPHC Study Group's study rooms.
When he ceased this activity, he was commissioned to convert a condensed version into an interactive online evaluation.

These topics were selected for scrutiny:
1.  Atlantis City Legend
2.  Hindu Tradition - Egg of Brahma
3.  Daniel 7:2-8
4.  Mesopotamian Deities
5.  Genesis 1:1-10; 1:24-27
6.  Egyptian Gods of Heliopolis
7.  Qur'an 16:14, 16:79, 31:31, 42:32, 52:1
8.  Sumerian Clay Tablet - scribe Endubsar
9.  Ezekiel 1:1-5, 10
10.  Revelation 4:6-7

Purpose of this online Evaluation is three-fold:

To show you how the PPHC Study Group rated the validity of Ronald Pegg's observations regarding his claim that the contents from a modern compact disk are described in Ancient Texts.

To allow you to agree or disagree with their judgements and change the input scores on the interactive pages and thus calculate your own validity score for this DOOPArt (ie. the Ancients cd-rom).

Add your session score to their database (post on Facebook) so that they may later calculate and present an overall validity score.


Methodology
To test whether Pegg's observations are valid, with an open mind, you too will need to compare descriptions from each ancient text to the imagery and content from the Ancients cd-rom.

If you agree with their judgement, you leave the score 'as is' for that item, but if you disagree, then you select another button to register your own judgement for that item.

Your total mean average score will help you decide for yourself whether Pegg's discoveries confirm the Ancients cd-rom as a DOOPArt.
