Goofs:
Factual errors: The ship Sisco built operated on solar sails, which require the pressure from sunlight to provide the propulsion. While this may be something that can propel a ship within the same solar system, the voyage from Bajor to Cardassia is interstellar; there would be no sunlight to move the ship for the majority of the distance.

Quotes:
[O'Brien has doubts that the ancient Bajoran solar vessels were capable of space exploration]
Major Kira: You sound just like a Cardassian.
Chief O'Brien: I beg your pardon?
Major Kira: They have denied the possibility of ancient contact for decades, because they cannot stand the idea of Bajor having interstellar flight before they did.
Chief O'Brien: With all due respect, Major, you're beginning to sound like a Romulan.
Major Kira: A Romulan?
Chief O'Brien: There is no piece of technology in existence they don't claim they invented before everyone else.

This episode does not belong to any of the star trek series.
It's script has way too many incoherences not only to any sci-fi logic, to the entire star trek universe, to DS9 series, but even to it'self. Those flaws are too many to describe but i would suggest to those that pay too much attention in the series coherence to skip this episode in order to avoid getting frustrated.
The only thing that i would say you could find interesting is the first appearance of Sisko with a goatee which may stand for the turning of him to a more serious character for the rest of the series (like he wasn't a stiff already), he also shows some interest in galactic archeology and history (a futile attempt to come closer to the character of Picard) and the first (unreasonably) friendly gesture by the cardasians towards him, without any gain for them.
