Artifact Of Memories

The Artifact Of Memories was a device created by Handy Smurf from a memory crystal that Miner had extracted from one of the mines in the EMPATH: The Luckiest Smurf story "Days Of Future Smurfed". Its purpose was to record the memories of whoever touched the crystal and to transmit those memories to someone else who would make use of the information stored within it.

In the story, when Empath had received visions of the future from what appeared to be his future self (but was actually his great-grandson Traveler Smurf), Empath received the artifact from Handy and used it to transfer all the memories that were stored in his head into the crystal. Years later, sometime around the late 1930s, the artifact was then given to a young boy named Pierrot who would become the cartoonist known as Peyo, who used the knowledge from the crystal as inspiration for the creation of his cartoon characters called The Smurfs.
