The most fantastic artifacts ever found. Mysterious and inexplicable ancient artifacts

Three elongated skulls found in Antarctica.

Archaeologist Damian Waters and his team have discovered three elongated skulls in the Paille region of Antarctica, americanlivewire.com reports. The discovery came as a complete surprise to the archeological world, as the skulls are the first human remains found in Antarctica, and it was believed that the continent had never been visited by humans before the modern era.

“We just can't believe it! We didn't just find human remains in Antarctica, we found elongated skulls! I have to pinch myself every time I wake up, I just can't believe it! This will force us to reconsider our view of the history of mankind as a whole!” M. Waters explains excitedly

As is known, earlier elongated skulls were found in Peru and Egypt.
But this discovery is absolutely incredible. It shows that there was contact thousands of years ago between civilizations in Africa, South America and Antarctica.

Giant footprint discovered in South Africa

It is located near the town of Mpalusi, close to the border of Swaziland. It is estimated that the time when this imprint was left is at least 200 million years. Geologists were surprised by this giant footprint about 120 cm long. This may be one of the best evidence that giants have existed on Earth since time immemorial. In that, the trace is now in vertical plane no surprise - this is due to a shift tectonic plates. Several similar formations are found in India and Australia.

Stone plate from Nepal

The Loladoff Plate is a stone dish that is over 12,000 years old. This artifact was found in Nepal. Images and clear lines carved into the surface of this flat stone have led many researchers to the idea of its extraterrestrial origin. After all, ancient people could not process stone so skillfully? In addition, the "plate" depicts a creature that is very reminiscent of an alien in his well-known image

Figurines from Ecuador

Figurines very reminiscent of astronauts found in Ecuador, their age is over 2000 years.

lizard people

Al-Ubaid - archaeological site in Iraq - real Goldmine for archaeologists and historians. It was found here a large number of objects of the El Obeid culture, which existed in southern Mesopotamia between 5900 and 4000 BC.

Some of the artifacts found are especially strange. For example, some figurines depict figures of creatures with heads similar to lizards. There were suggestions that these figurines are images of aliens who flew to Earth at that time. The true nature of the figurines remains a mystery.

Jade discs: a puzzle for archaeologists

AT Ancient China around 5000 BC, large jade stone discs were placed in graves local nobility. Their purpose, as well as the method of manufacture, still remains a mystery to scientists, because jade is a very durable stone.

The Disc of Sabu: The Unsolved Mystery of Egyptian Civilization.

The mystical ancient artifact, supposedly part of an unknown mechanism, was found by Egyptologist Walter Bryan in 1936 during an inspection of the tomb of Mastaba Sabu, who lived around 3100 - 3000 BC. The burial is located near the village of Saqqara.

The artifact is a regular round thin-walled stone plate made of meta-aleurite (metasilt in Western terminology), with three thin edges bent towards the center and a small cylindrical sleeve in the middle. In places where the edge petals are bent towards the center, the circumference of the disk continues with a thin rim round section about a centimeter in diameter. The diameter is about 70cm, the shape of the circle is not perfect. This plate raises a number of questions, both about the incomprehensible purpose of such an object, and about the method by which it was made, since it has no analogues.

It is quite possible that Saba's disk had some important role five thousand years ago. However, at the moment, scientists cannot accurately determine its purpose and complex structure. The question remains open.

Petersburg archaeologists found in Kamchatka petrified metal gear cylinders, which turned out to be parts of a mechanism. Their age is 400 million years.

This is not the first time that ancient artifacts have been found in this region.
This find is encrusted in stone, which is quite understandable, since there are numerous volcanoes on the peninsula. Spectral analysis showed that the mechanism was made of metal parts, and all parts have been dated to 400 million years!

The creations of human hands, immured in rocks, whose age is estimated at millions of years, were ignored until recently. After all, the finds violated the generally accepted fact of human evolution and even the formation of life on Earth. What artifacts are found in rocks, in which, according to the existing theory of the origin and development of man, there should be absolutely nothing?

600 million year old vase and 300 million year old bolt

A message about an extremely unusual find was published in scientific journal in 1852. It was about a mysterious vessel about 12 cm high, two halves of which were discovered after an explosion in one of the quarries. This vase, with clear images of flowers, was inside rock, 600 million years old.

In the Kaluga region, a fragment of a stone was found, on the chip of which a bolt about 1 cm long was discovered, it was not clear how it got into the rock. The find was examined in the laboratories of leading Russian institutes, museums, and simply well-known experts. The assessment is unequivocal: the bolt got into the rock in the process of its solidification, it happened 300-320 million years ago.

Hammer from Texas

In 1934, an ancient hammer was discovered in Texas. Its length was 15 cm, diameter - 3 cm. During storage in the ground, the hammer handle turned into coal - still - the age of the rock in which it was discovered was estimated at 140 million years. Another very interesting fact is that the hammer is made of almost pure iron (97%) - even modern people cannot produce this.

And the next item can be admired by anyone - just by going to India. Near the Qutub Minar tower in Delhi rises iron column 7.5 meters high.

The diameter of its base is 41.6 cm, it is slightly narrower towards the top - the upper diameter is about 30 cm. This column weighs 6.8 tons. Who, when and where (it was not made in Delhi) created it - and to this day remains a mystery.

But the most interesting thing is the composition of the column. It is 99.72% iron and only 0.28% is impurities. There is almost no corrosion on the black-blue surface of the megalith (only barely noticeable specks).
The strange thing is that the production of pure iron is very difficult and is not done in large volumes. And iron of such purity, even possessing modern equipment, to produce is simply not realistic.

Stone head from Guatemala

Half a century ago, deep in the jungles of Guatemala, searchers found a giant monument - the stone head of a man of enormous size. The face depicted on the statue had beautiful features, he had thin lips and a large nose, his gaze was directed to the sky. The searchers were very surprised by their find: the face had the obvious features of a white man, and was sharply different from any representatives of the pre-Hispanic civilizations of South America. The find quickly attracted attention, but it was also quickly forgotten, and information about the statue disappeared from the pages of history.

The researchers believe that the statue's facial features depicted a representative of an ancient civilization that was much more advanced than the locals before the arrival of the Spaniards. Some have also suggested that the head of the statue also had a torso. Unfortunately, we will probably never know for sure: the head was used as a training target for revolutionary troops and its features were destroyed almost without a trace.

However, the giant stone statue did exist and there is no reason to believe the photo is a fake. So where did she come from? Who created it? And why?

Shigir idol

In 1890, on the eastern slope of the Middle Urals, northwest of Yekaterinburg, an idol was found in the Shigir peat bog, which later acquired the name of the large Shigir idol.

The Shigir idol is a completely unique archaeological site. It has no analogues, not only in the Urals, but also in the world! The Shigir idol is the oldest wooden sculpture on our planet, made in the eighth millennium BC - in the Mesolithic era, according to a carbon analysis made in 1997. This archaeological miracle has been preserved thanks to two factors. Firstly, the idol is made of durable larch. Secondly, the idol was found in a peat bog and peat, as a natural preservative, protected it from decomposition. Its height after reconstruction is 5.3 meters.

Stone atoms of antiquity?

There are five unusual carved stone balls in the collection of the Ashmolean Museum of Scotland. Archaeologists find it difficult to explain the purpose of these objects. They are made from various materials- sandstone and granite.

The age of the stones is dated approximately between 3000 and 2000 BC. In total, about 400 such artifacts were found in Scotland, but five of them, stored in the museum, are the most unusual. As you can see in the photo, strange symmetrical patterns are applied to the surface of the stones.

Most of the stones have the same diameter of 70 mm, with the exception of a few larger ones, which measure up to 114 mm in diameter. The number of bulges on the stones ranges from 4 to 33, with spiral patterns on the surface of some bulges.

The five stones of the Ashmolean Museum were formerly in the collection of Sir John Evans, who believed that they could have been used as projectiles for throwing weapons of antiquity. However, this explanation does not seem to be correct, since all the stones do not contain any damage, which would invariably happen if they were used during military skirmishes. And the very shape of the stones, the complexity of their manufacture suggest that it is pointless to use so much effort to make throwing devices.

Other versions suggest the use of these artifacts as cargo for fishing nets. Or as ritual objects, giving their owner the right to vote during various ceremonies. But all these versions do not explain why it was necessary to make stones of such a complex shape.

There is another possible explanation. Perhaps these stones are a schematic representation of the nuclei of atoms? Such an image of atoms is widely used in modern world. Is it possible that the one who made these artifacts had a deep knowledge of chemistry and could depict various atomic structures?

At the very least, the method of making these artifacts leaves no doubt that the master was well versed in geometry, having a good understanding of complex polyhedra. However, it is generally accepted that during the Neolithic people did not have such knowledge. Or is it not?

"Genetic Disk"

On this disk are several images of those processes that are in ordinary life can only be seen under a microscope.

This disc, which is 6,000 years old, was found in the jungles of Colombia. The disk has a diameter of 27 centimeters and is made of lidite or radiolarite material, which is not inferior in hardness to granite. However, it is layered and difficult to process. Nevertheless, the entire process of the birth of a human being is depicted with pinpoint accuracy along the circumference of the disk - from both sides - from the arrangement of the reproductive organs of a man and a woman, the moment of conception, intrauterine development of the fetus through all its stages - to the birth of a baby. Scientists have seen many of these processes with their own eyes relatively recently, with the help of appropriate instruments. And here authors of a disk possessed this knowledge in perfection.

On the disk, images of a man, a woman and a child are visible, the strange thing here is how the human head is depicted. If this is not a stylistic image, then what species do these people belong to?

By the way, in the same Colombia there is a little-known "Valley of Statues" or the San Agustin Archaeological Park with hundreds of stone statues depicting some unreal creatures. In my opinion, they are similar to the images on the "genetic disk":

Elias Sotomayor's Mysterious Finds: Ancient Globe and Others

A large treasure trove of ancient artifacts was discovered by an expedition led by Elias Sotomayor in 1984. In the Ecuadorian mountain range of La Mana, in a tunnel at a depth of more than ninety meters, 300 stone products were found.

The exact age of the finds this moment it is not possible to determine. However, it is already known that they do not belong to any of the known cultures of this region. The symbols and signs carved on the stone clearly belong to Sanskrit, but not to its later version, but rather to its earlier one. A number of scholars have identified this language as proto-Sanskrit.

Before the discovery of Sotomayor, Sanskrit was never associated with the American continent, rather, it was attributed to the cultures of Europe, Asia and northern Africa.

Among the finds was a pyramid with an eye and a stone cobra. The stone pyramid most of all resembles in its shape the pyramid in Giza. Thirteen rows of masonry are carved on the pyramid. In its upper part, the image of the "all-seeing eye" is applied. Thus, the pyramid found in La Mana is an exact image of the Masonic sign, known to most of mankind thanks to the US one dollar bill.

Unusual Items

Another striking find of the expedition of Sotomayor is the image of a king cobra made with great skill from stone. And it's not even the high level of art of ancient artisans. Everything is much more mysterious, because the king cobra is not found in America. Its habitat is the tropical rainforests of India.

However, the quality of its image leaves no doubt that the artist personally saw this snake. Thus, either the object with the image of a snake applied to it, or its author, must have moved from Asia to America across the ocean to ancient times when, it is believed, no means existed for this.

Perhaps Sotomayor's third stunning find will be able to suggest the answer. In the tunnel of La Mana, one of the oldest globes on Earth, also made of stone, was discovered. On a far from ideal ball, for the manufacture of which, perhaps, the master simply spared no effort, but a rounded boulder, images of continents familiar from school times are applied.

But if many outlines of the continents differ little from modern ones, then the planet looks completely different from the coast of Southeast Asia towards America. Huge masses of land are depicted where now only the boundless sea splashes.

The Caribbean islands and the Florida peninsula are absent altogether. Just below the equator pacific ocean there is a giant island, approximately equal in size to modern Madagascar. Modern Japan enters the giant mainland, stretching to the shores of America and extending far to the south. It remains to be added that the La Mana find appears to be ancient map peace.

No less interesting are other findings of Sotomayor. In particular, a "service" of thirteen bowls was discovered. Twelve of them have a perfectly equal volume, and the thirteenth is much larger. If you fill 12 small bowls with liquid to the brim, and then drain them into a large one, then it will be filled exactly to the brim. All bowls are made of jade. The purity of their processing suggests that the ancients had a stone processing technology similar to a modern lathe.

So far, Sotomayor's findings raise more questions than they answer. But they once again confirm the thesis that our information about the history of the Earth and mankind is still very far from perfect.

Artifacts of Tertaria

50 years ago, in 1961, in the town of Tarteria (Romania), archaeologist Nicolae Vlassa discovered three unbaked clay tablets dated to the middle of the 6th millennium BC. The Tartarian tablets are the earliest written evidence, being at least a millennium older than the Sumerian writings in Mesopotamia.

The discovery remained practically unknown even after similar tablets were found in other areas of the Balkans: in Bulgaria (Karanovo, Grachanitsa), Greece (the shores of Lake Orestiada), Serbia, Hungary, Ukraine, Moldova.

Thus, over the past decades, a number of arguments have emerged in support of the hypothesis that pictographic writing appeared in southeastern Europe long before the Sumerian writing system in Mesopotamia.

The world is full of strange and mysterious artifacts. Some are almost certainly hoaxes, others are connected real stories. In our review of 10 real-life artifacts, the origin of which scientists cannot explain even today...

1. Sumerian king list

During excavations in Iraq on the territory ancient Sumer a manuscript was found that lists all the kings of this state. Researchers initially thought it was a common historical document, but then it turned out that many of the kings are mythological characters. Some rulers who should have been included in the list were missing from it. Others were credited with incredibly long reigns or mythical events associated with them, such as the Sumerian version of the Great Flood and the exploits of Gilgamesh.

2. Codex Gigas (or "Devil's Bible")

The most famous is the ancient manuscript "Codex Gigas", better known as the "Devil's Bible". This book, made from 160 skins, can only be lifted by 2 people.
Legend has it that the Codex Gigas was written by a monk who, after being sentenced to death, according to which the monk was to be walled up alive, made a deal with the devil. With the help of the Devil, the monk wrote a book in one night (moreover, a self-portrait was written by the devil). Oddly enough, the handwriting in the book is surprisingly clear and uniform, as if it was actually written within a short period of time. However, scientists believe that such work would take from 5 years (if written without interruption) to 30 years. The manuscript contains seemingly incongruous texts: the complete Latin Vulgate Bible, "Jewish Antiquities" by Josephus Flavius, a collection medical work Hippocrates and Theophilus, "Chronicles of Bohemia" by Cosmas of Prague, "Etymological Encyclopedia" by Isidore of Seville, exorcism rites, magic formulas and an illustration of a heavenly city.

3. Easter Island writing

Almost everyone knows about the famous statues of Easter Island, but there are other artifacts associated with this place, the mystery of which has not yet been solved. 24 wooden carved tablets were found that contain a system of symbols. These characters are called "rongorongo" and are considered to be an ancient proto-writing form. To date, they have not been able to decipher.

4. Göbekli Tepe, Turkey

Typically, archaeologists argue that religion, the building of temples, and the development of complex rituals are a by-product of human settlement. This belief was shaken by the temple of Göbekli Tepe discovered on the plain of Urfa in southeastern Turkey. Its ruins may be the oldest organized place of worship known to man. The ruins of Göbekli Tepe date back to 9500 BC, meaning the temple was built 5000 years before Stonehenge.

5. Roman dodecahedrons, Roman Empire

In regions that were once in the sphere of influence of the Roman Empire - from Wales to the Mediterranean Sea - small strange objects are found that have been called "dodecahedrons". They are hollow stone or bronze objects, 4-12 centimeters in diameter with 12 flat pentagonal faces and holes. various sizes on each side. Small handles protrude from every corner. 27 theories have been put forward as to what it is, but none of them have been proven.

6Fulachtai Fia, Ireland

Around 6,000 mysterious artifacts have been found in rivers and marshes across Ireland, which have come to be known as the Fulachtai Fia. In Britain, where they are also found, they are called "Burned Mounds".

Fulacht fiadh - a horseshoe-shaped mound of soil and stone, in the center of which a trough filled with water was dug. Fulachtai Fia are usually found alone, but sometimes in groups of 2-6. There is always a source of water nearby. Why they were built remains a mystery.

7. Big Zayatsky Labyrinth, Russia

Bolshoy Zayatsky Island, which is part of the Solovetsky archipelago in northern Russia, hides another mystery. Back in 3000 BC. not only villages and places of worship were built here, but also irrigation systems. But the most mysterious objects on the island there are spiral labyrinths, the largest of which has a diameter of 24 meters. The structures are built from two rows of boulders overgrown with vegetation. What they were used for is unknown.

8. Witch bottles, Europe and the USA

In 2014, archaeologists excavating the site of an ancient battle in Nottinghamshire made a strange discovery: they found a 15cm "witch's bottle". Similar vessels were used in Europe and America for black witchcraft in the 1600s and 1700s. They were usually made of ceramic or glass. In total, about 200 such objects were found, and they often contained the remains of needles, nails, nails, hair, and even urine. Witch bottles are believed to have been used to protect the wearer from evil spells and the evil influence of witches.

9 Ubaid Lizard Figurines, Iraq

Strange figurines of Ubaid are found in Iraq. They depict lizard-like and snake-like people in various poses. All figurines have abnormally elongated heads and almond-shaped eyes. Many of these figurines are found in human burials and are therefore believed to mark some form of status.

10 Rat King

Several museums around the world contain strange once-living exhibits of a legendary beast from the Middle Ages called the Rat King. The rat king is formed when several rats intertwine or grow together with their tails. As a result, a kind of "nest" of rats appears, the muzzles of which are directed outward, and in the center a knot of tails. The largest of these artifacts contains 32 rats. Today, such mummified objects are found, but not a single living such anomaly has been found.

A number of archaeological finds, doubtful from the point of view of logic, easily pass any checks, including radiocarbon analysis, and this confuses scientists. Here are 10 of the most mysterious artifacts of the past, each of which has already managed to acquire a whole bunch of speculation.

Piri Reis Map

The Piri Reis map is one of the most significant world maps ever found. The Ottoman admiral Piri Reis created the map in 1513 - and, apparently, parts of it could have been used by Christopher Columbus himself. The map was discovered in 1929 and became an international sensation.

Padilla stone head

This giant stone head, which was found by Dr. Oscar Padilla in 1950, has been almost forgotten by history. The researcher believed that the head belongs ancient culture Olmecs, who flourished in 1400 and 400 BC. Unfortunately, Padilla managed to bring only a photograph of the find: returning to the place with a new expedition, the archaeologist found only the ruined remains of the artifact.

Baghdad Battery

Batteries found during excavations near Baghdad consist of three parts - ceramic pot, metal tube and a metal rod. Scientists believe that the pot was filled with some kind of electrolyte solution capable of generating electricity between the metal inserts.

Giant stone balls of Costa Rica

In the 1930s, United Fruit Company workers discovered hundreds of stone spheres in one of the new banana plantations in Costa Rica. The balls ranged in size from huge to tiny, and were eventually recognized as stone sculptures from the lost Diquis culture.

Inca plane

The Inca civilization is often associated with some alien cultures - they say, the Indians themselves would never have been able to achieve such a level of development. Some confirmation of this dubious theory can, if desired, be found in the discovered artifacts. For example, these planes. In 1997, a couple of German designers created models of similar aircraft - and they flew.

Phaistos disc

The Phaistos disc was discovered in 1908 by the Italian archaeologist Pernier. The scientist found a clay disc in Crete and dated it to 1700 BC. The Phaistos disc is filled with strange symbols that add up to 61 words. Generally speaking, most of the scientific community does not recognize Pernier's find as real, but no one can provide evidence of a fake either.

Lizard people Al Ubaid

Were the first people on Earth reptiles? In the early 1900s, these lizard figurines were discovered in Iraq - the area was considered the place of residence of the ancient Sumerians. The figurines depict lizards as gods, and one of the sculptures depicts breast-feeding human baby lizard.

Kensington Runestone

In 1898, a Swedish immigrant discovered an ancient tablet in Minnesota - a man was simply cutting down trees on his property. Experts have dated the artifact to 1362. It is believed that at that time not a single European in North America was not there yet.

Mayan artifacts

The Mexican government published, relatively recently, information about a shocking find in one of the pyramids. Images discovered by scientists show flying saucers, aliens and contact of priests with extraterrestrial intelligence. Naturally, all this can only be a gigantic hoax, but the original dating of the drawings suggests otherwise.

Enigmalith Williams

The find of amateur archaeologist John Williams still excites the international scientific community. In 1998, Williams discovered a strange stone where the electric outlet similar to modern designs. The easiest way would be to recognize the artifact as false - only radiocarbon analysis shows that the enigmalite is more than a thousand years old.

What is impossible to talk about, what should be silent about?

Forbidden archeology - relics of past eras that do not fit into the worldview of modern people, but not because we - the people of the 21st century - will not be able to comprehend them, but in order not to change the history that has already been rewritten once, which took away the greatness from our ancestors .

However, sometimes strange finds are also silent because historians simply do not know how to explain the found artifact, for example, a microchip fused into a stone that is several hundred million years old. And instead of making such a significant fact of the find a sensation, and the relic itself - to the public, and make every effort to clarify the fate of the artifact, they are silent about the found object, and accounting archaeologists are not recommended to further study the “incomprehensible” object.

It is the material objects that archaeologists find that “put spokes in the wheels” of the dogmas of historians, because no one has been seriously considering intangible objects for a long time, classifying ancient history as mythology, and presenting mythology as literary genre recommended reading for lovers of fiction. In the absence of ancient books that have been destroyed at all times as sources of “dangerous knowledge”, when nothing can be confirmed or refuted for certain based on ancient manuscripts, any fact can be manipulated. And only thanks to artifacts it becomes clear that the Earth has a different history of the development of intelligent life than the one we are taught.

(unfortunately,due to Low quality and the lack of photos on the networkthere is no way to post a picture for each artifact, therefore, we recommend that you delve into this topic on your own)

Dorchester riddle of history - the oldest vessel from Mount Meeting House (USA, Massachusetts)

In 1852, in the town of Dorchester, during the production of demolition work, a bell-shaped vessel made of metal alloy was removed from the rock of Mount Meeting House along with fragments of stone. Presumably, by the color of the vessel, it was determined that it was made of an alloy of silver with other chemical elements. Beautiful intricate inlay and engraving in the form of a wreath, a vine and a pattern of a bouquet consisting of six inflorescences was made of pure silver, and was the finest work of a skilled craftsman.

The Dorchester vessel was located in sandstone at a depth of no more than 5 meters from the surface in the Roxbury rock, the origin of which geologists attribute to the Precambrian era (cryptozoic) - the period in which the Earth lived about 600,000,000 years ago.

An artifact that does not fit into history - an "old" bolt

This find fell into the hands of researchers by chance - an expedition with speaking name Kosmopoisk was looking for fragments of a meteorite in the fields of the Kaluga region, but found a completely local, earthly object - a stone from which a part of a part that had long frozen in it, which looked like a bolt (coil), protruded.

With the most careful study of the find by serious scientists from a number of leading research institutes country, it was reliably found out only that the stone into which the bolt was poured has an age of origin of more than 300,000,000 years ago. The obvious fact was also voiced - the bolt had been in the body of the stone for a long time, perhaps when the substance of the cobblestone was soft. This means that at the time when, according to the official version of history, the first reptiles appeared on Earth, such a technical thing as a bolt got into the ground, which became the basis of the stone.

A relic that refutes the theory of the origin of man on Earth

The human skull, devoid of superciliary ridges, has become a mysterious Siberian find. Archaeologists place its origin at 250,000,000 years old. The absence of brow ridges indicates that this is a humanoid skull, it has nothing to do with ancient primates. But according to official history, only the genus Homo, from which modern man descended further, appeared on Earth 2,500,000 years ago.

And this is not an isolated case of finding an unusual skull. Skulls of various shapes, large, with an elongated or rounded occiput, are continually found during excavations, undermining the theory of human origin and evolution with their appearance.

Other important finds are connected with this part of the human skeleton. Images of craniotomy operations, which researchers find in ancient manuscripts or carved on stones, indicate that the brain of ancient man was not small, like that of a primate. It turns out that knowledge about complex surgical manipulations with the human body arose at a time when, according to the official chronology, there was no Homo sapiens on Earth either.

Footprints and shoes from the Mesozoic era - an interesting imprint of the past

Not far from the city of Carlson (USA, Nevada), during archaeological excavations, footprints were found - clear prints of the soles of well-made shoes. At first, archaeologists were surprised by the fact that shoe prints are several times larger than the size of a modern human foot. But after they carefully examined the site of this find, the size of the footprint was not important compared to its age. It turned out that time left an imperishable imprint of a boot from carboniferous period planet development. It was in this archaeological layer of the Earth that traces were found.

the same ancient origin, about 250,000,000 years ago, there were also footprints found in California. A whole chain of prints was found there, left one after the other, with a step of about two meters, a foot, the size of which is about 50 centimeters. If we compare the proportions of a person with a reference point for a similar leg size, it turns out that a person 4 meters tall from the ground was walking there.

Similar footprints 50 centimeters long were also found on the territory of our country, in the Crimea. There, traces were left on the rocky rocks of the mountains.

Amazing Historical Finds in Mines Around the World

The finds that ordinary miners make while doing their daily work of mining amaze archaeologists - they are jealous that they did not find such relics.

As it turned out, coal is not only a fuel, but also a material on which and in which ancient traces are perfectly preserved. Among those found on pieces of coal different sizes: an inscription in an incomprehensible language, a footprint of a shoe with clearly visible stitches of a seam connecting parts of a thing, and even bronze coins that fell into coal seam long before the era when, according to official history, a person learned to process metal and mint money from it. But these finds are insignificant in size compared to the one that was discovered in a mine in Oklahoma (USA): where the miners found a whole wall made up of cubes with a face of 30 centimeters, with perfectly drawn edges of the figure.

The fossil beds in which all of the above artifacts were found are classified as deposits, the age of which is from 5 to 250 million years.

3D map of the Earth from a Cretaceous cartographer

The Southern Urals, a storehouse of artifacts, gave the world an amazing find: a three-dimensional map of the area 70 million years old. The map has been perfectly preserved due to the fact that it was made on dolomite stone, combined with elements of glass and ceramics. Six whole huge and heavy dolomite slabs, covered with signs, were found by the researchers of the expedition led by Alexander Chuvyrov near Mount Chandur, but there is historical evidence that there were hundreds of them.

Everything about this find is amazing. First of all, a material that is not found in such a compound on our planet. A homogeneous dolomite slab, which is not found anywhere else today, was covered with a layer of glass fused with an unknown stone by chemical means. The diopside glass, which allegedly began to be produced towards the end of the last century, skillfully depicted the relief of the planet, which was characteristic of the Earth in the Cretaceous period, that is, about 120 million years ago. But, to the amazement of archaeologists, in addition to valleys, mountains and rivers, an interconnected chain of canals and dams was drawn on the map, that is, a hydraulic system of several tens of thousands of kilometers.

But even stranger is the fact that the slabs are sized so that it is most convenient to use them for people who are at least three meters tall. However, this fact was not so sensational for the find as the correlation of the size of the plates with astronomical values: for example, if you lay out this map from the plates along the equator, you will need exactly 365 fragments. And some signs of the map, which were able to decipher, indicate that their compilers are familiar with the physical information about our planet, that is, they know, for example, its axis of inclination and angle of rotation.

Encyclopedia of Knowledge on Dr. Cabrera's Oval Stones

Dr. Cabrera, a citizen of Peru, became famous throughout the world for having collected a huge amount, approximately 12,000, of stones with drawings of ancient people. However, unlike the well-known primitive rock art, these images were, in a way, an encyclopedia of knowledge. On the rocks different sizes people and scenes from their lives, animals, maps and much more were depicted in such branches of knowledge as ethnography, biology, geography. Along with hunting scenes for various types of dinosaurs, there were paintings that clearly depicted the process of performing a surgical operation to transplant human organs.

The place of discovery was the suburb of the small settlement of Ika, after which the stones got their name. Ica stones have been studied for a long time, but are still among the mysteries of archeology, because they cannot be entered into the history of the origin of mankind.

What distinguishes the find from other surviving images of antiquity is that the man on the stones of Dr. Cabrera is depicted with a very large head. If now the head to the body of a person correlates as 1/7 part, then in the drawings from Ica, it is 1/3 or 1/4. Scientists suggest that these were not our ancestors, but a civilization similar to our human civilization - a civilization of intelligent humanoid beings.

Unsupportable and impracticable megaliths of antiquity

Ancient structures made of huge, perfectly processed stone blocks are found everywhere on our planet. Megaliths were assembled from parts weighing several tons each. In some masonry plates, the connection is such that even a thin knife blade cannot be inserted between them. A number of structures are geographically located in places where the material from which they are assembled is not nearby.

It turns out that the ancient builders knew several secrets at once, which in the present can be associated with magical knowledge. For example, in order to give a block of stone such an ideal shape, you need to be able to soften the rock and sculpt the required figure from it, and in order to then move the finished multi-ton block into masonry, you need to be able to change the gravity of the part of the future structure, moving the “brick” to where the builder needs it.

Some buildings of antiquity are so grandiose for modern times that even in our present there are no such cranes or other devices that could raise parts of the building to the height necessary from the ground in order to place a heavy block in masonry. For example, in Puri, in India, there is a local temple, the roof of which is made of a stone block weighing 20 tons. Other structures are so monumental that it is impossible to imagine how much material and labor resources they can be implemented in modern times.

Note that with their majesty, some structures are amazing not only for their size, but also for the fact that they are built in relation to certain laws of nature, for example, they are oriented to the movement of the Moon and the Sun, like the Pyramids, or designed to observe many celestial bodies, like Stonehenge . Other stone buildings, for example, the labyrinth on the Solovetsky Islands, are structures whose purpose remains a mystery.

Calligraphic "notches" on boulders and drawings of unknown purpose, as well as "magic" stones

Like megaliths, stones on which ancient writings or images with an incomprehensible purpose have been preserved can be found everywhere. The material for such messages from the past was the most different elements, this is both lava and marble, which were subjected to original preparatory processing before becoming the basis for applying signs and drawings.

For example, huge stones are found on the territory of Russia, which depict hieroglyphs that cannot be deciphered, or clearly recognizable figures of animals that still exist on earth, or images of God's creatures that no longer inhabit the planet. Finds are not uncommon in the form of perfectly polished slabs, on which lines are inscribed, the content of which is still incomprehensible.

And a completely extraordinary fact against the background of these recorded information is the information that in one of the Indian villages, in the town of Shivapur, near the local temple, there are two stones that can rise in the air under certain circumstances. Despite the fact that the boulders weigh 55 and 41 kilograms, if 11 people touch the largest of them with their fingers, and 9 people touch the other, and all together these people utter a certain phrase in the same key, the stones will rise to a height of two meters from the ground and several seconds hanging in the air.

The era in which metallurgy began to spread on earth, when people began to make tools and weapons for hunting from iron, has boundaries roughly established by scientists from 1200 BC to 340 AD. e. and is called the Iron Age. Knowing this, it is difficult not to be surprised by all the finds described below: iron, gold, titanium, tungsten, etc., in a word, metal.

Metal in ancient galvanic cells

A find that can be called the oldest electric battery. Ceramic vases were found in Iraq, in which there were copper cylinders, and in them - iron rods. From the alloy of tin and lead, on the edges of the copper cylinders, scientists determined that this device is nothing more than a galvanic cell.

After conducting an experiment, pouring a solution of copper sulfate into a vessel, the researchers obtained electricity. The age of the find is approximately 4,000 years ago, and it does not allow galvanic cells to be included in the official theory of how mankind mastered the use of iron cells.

Stainless 16th century iron "Pillar of Indra"

And even if the finds are not so old, but have an age of origin of about 16 centuries, for example, like the "Pillar of Indra", there are many mysteries in their appearance and existence on our planet. The mentioned pillar is one of the mysterious sights of India. The structure of pure iron has been standing near Delhi in Shimaikhalori for 1600 years and does not rust.

Would you say that there is no secret if a metal pole is 99.5% iron? Of course, but imagine that not a single metallurgical enterprise of our time can now cast a 7.5 meter pole with a cross section of 48 centimeters and a percentage of iron content of 99.5 without applying special efforts and means. Why was it that the ancient people who lived in those places in 376-415 were able to do this?

They also, in a way incomprehensible to today's experts, put inscriptions on the pillar that tell us that the "Pillar of Indra" was erected during the reign of Chandragupta, on the occasion of the victory over the Asian peoples. This ancient memorial is still a Mecca for those who believe in miraculous healings people, as well as a place for constant scientific observations and discussions that do not give a single answer to the question of the essence of the pillar.

Chain of precious metal in a piece of coal three hundred million years old

Some found archaeological mysteries put before humanity questions not about how this or that was created unusual thing. This interest fades into the background before the mystery of how the object got to where it was found now. If a person used iron mainly for domestic purposes, then gold has a special history. This metal has been used to make jewelry since antiquity. But the question is - from what antiquity?

So, for example, in 1891, while collecting coal in her barn, in the town of Morisonville, Illinois, a lady named Kelp put too much fuel in a bucket. To use coal in business, she decided to split it. From the impact, a piece of coal split in half and a golden chain sagged between its two halves, the ends going into each of the formed parts. jewelry decoration weighing 12 grams in a piece of coal that was formed in this area 300,000,000 years ago? Try to find a logical explanation for this artifact.

Unique metal alloys that are not found on the planet in a similar form

But sometimes scientists have no less questions than some man-made metal artifacts, but ordinary-looking stones. In fact, they are not stones at all, but a rare alloy of metals. For example, one such stone was found near Chernigov in the 19th century. Modern scientists have studied it and found that it is an alloy of tungsten and titanium. At one time, it was planned to use it in the technology of creating the so-called "invisible aircraft", but the idea was abandoned because the composition of these elements did not have sufficient plasticity. But, when it was still thought to be used, tungsten and titanium were artificially combined into a similar alloy, because in this form it is not found anywhere on earth, and the technology for its production is incredibly energy-consuming. Here is such an unusual Chernihiv metal "pebble".

However, why only Chernigov, when ingots of alloys are found here and there, which, when checked, turn out to be a combination of elements that are not found in nature in such a composition, but at the same time famous people alloy, for example, for aircraft manufacturing technologies.

Mysterious "Salzburg" hexagon made of pure iron

How do historians deal with the above "challenges" of archeology? Do you think they are trying to write the finds into the chronicles of human life on earth? At best, pundits shrug their shoulders, at worst - for unknown reasons, "evidence" that exposes scientific dogmas about the past of earthlings is lost. Well, or the history of a mysterious archaeological find can be reduced to the fact that objects that inexplicably found themselves on our planet are assigned the status of "meteorites".

So, for example, it was with the "Salzburg papallepiped". This is a metal hexagon with two convex and four concave faces. The lines of the object are such that it is impossible to even imagine that the object is miraculous. However, the hexagon, which consisted of pure iron, was “written off” as meteorites, although it was found in Salzburg in 1885 in a piece of brown tertiary coal. And we do not even try to shed light on the history of its appearance.

All of the above cases, as well as many other documented facts, speak only about one thing: at a time when, according to official history, a person only came to the idea of using stone tools, and in some cases did not exist at all as a species, on earth, who - he has already cast high-strength metal, forged iron, used alloys to create electric batteries, etc. etc. Impressive? Undoubtedly! The only pity is that it is impossible to find a reasonable explanation for the mysterious archaeological finds.

Questions without answers . Three elongated skulls found in Antarctica.

Giant footprint discovered in South Africa

It is located near the town of Mpalusi, close to the border of Swaziland. It is estimated that the time when this imprint was left is at least 200 million years. Geologists were surprised by this giant footprint about 120 cm long. This may be one of the best evidence that giants have existed on Earth since time immemorial. The fact that the track is now in the vertical plane is not surprising - this is due to the shift of tectonic plates. Several similar formations are found in India and Australia.

Stone plate from Nepal

Figurines from Ecuador

Figurines very reminiscent of astronauts found in Ecuador, their age is over 2000 years.

lizard people

Al-Ubeyd - an archaeological site in Iraq - a real gold mine for archaeologists and historians. A large number of objects of the El Obeid culture were found here, which existed in southern Mesopotamia between 5900 and 4000 BC.

Jade discs: a puzzle for archaeologists

In ancient China, around 5000 BC, large jade stone discs were placed in the graves of the local nobility. Their purpose, as well as the method of manufacture, still remains a mystery to scientists, because jade is a very durable stone.

The Disc of Sabu: The Unsolved Mystery of Egyptian Civilization.

The artifact is a regular round thin-walled stone plate made of meta-aleurite (metasilt in Western terminology), with three thin edges bent towards the center and a small cylindrical sleeve in the middle. In places where the petals of the edge are bent towards the center, the circumference of the disk continues with a thin rim of circular cross section about a centimeter in diameter. The diameter is about 70cm, the shape of the circle is not perfect. This plate raises a number of questions, both about the incomprehensible purpose of such an object, and about the method by which it was made, since it has no analogues.

Petersburg archaeologists found in Kamchatka petrified metal gear cylinders, which turned out to be parts of a mechanism. Their age is 400 million years.

600 million year old vase and 300 million year old bolt

A message about an extremely unusual find was published in a scientific journal in 1852. It was about a mysterious vessel about 12 cm high, two halves of which were discovered after an explosion in one of the quarries. This vase, with clear images of flowers, was located inside a rock that is 600 million years old.

Hammer from Texas

And the next item can be admired by anyone - just by going to India. An iron column 7.5 meters high rises near the Qutub Minar tower in Delhi.

But the most interesting thing is the composition of the column. It is 99.72% iron and only 0.28% is impurities. There is almost no corrosion on the black-blue surface of the megalith (only barely noticeable specks).
The strange thing is that the production of pure iron is very difficult and is not done in large volumes. And iron of such purity, even with modern equipment, is simply not realistic to produce.

Stone head from Guatemala

Half a century ago, deep in the jungles of Guatemala, searchers found a gigantic monument - the stone head of a man of enormous size. The face depicted on the statue had beautiful features, he had thin lips and a large nose, his gaze was directed to the sky. The searchers were very surprised by their find: the face had the obvious features of a white man, and was sharply different from any representatives of the pre-Hispanic civilizations of South America. The find quickly attracted attention, but it was also quickly forgotten, and information about the statue disappeared from the pages of history.

However, the giant stone statue did exist and there is no reason to believe the photo is a fake. So where did she come from? Who created it? And why?

Shigir idol

In 1890, on the eastern slope of the Middle Urals, northwest of Yekaterinburg, an idol was found in the Shigir peat bog, which later acquired the name of the large Shigir idol.

Stone atoms of antiquity?

There is another possible explanation. Perhaps these stones are a schematic representation of the nuclei of atoms? Such an image of atoms is widely used in the modern world. Is it possible that the one who made these artifacts had a deep knowledge of chemistry and could depict various atomic structures?

"Genetic Disk"

This disk contains several images of those processes that in ordinary life can only be seen under a microscope.

On the disk, images of a man, a woman and a child are visible, the strange thing here is how the human head is depicted. If this is not a stylistic image, then what species do these people belong to?

Elias Sotomayor's Mysterious Finds: Ancient Globe and Others

It is currently impossible to determine the exact age of the finds. However, it is already known that they do not belong to any of the known cultures of this region. The symbols and signs carved on the stone clearly belong to Sanskrit, but not to its later version, but rather to its earlier one. A number of scholars have identified this language as proto-Sanskrit.

Before the discovery of Sotomayor, Sanskrit was never associated with the American continent, rather, it was attributed to the cultures of Europe, Asia and northern Africa.

Unusual Items

However, the quality of its image leaves no doubt that the artist personally saw this snake. Thus, either the object with the image of a snake applied to it, or its author, must have moved from Asia to America across the ocean in ancient times, when, as it is believed, no means for this existed.

The Caribbean islands and the Florida peninsula are absent altogether. Just below the equator in the Pacific Ocean is a giant island, roughly equal in size to modern Madagascar. Modern Japan is part of a gigantic continent that extends to the shores of America and extends far to the south. It remains to be added that the find at La Mana appears to be the oldest map of the world.
