To date, many artifacts have been found indicating that highly developed civilizations lived on Earth in ancient times. Scientists cannot find an explanation for themselves, because it does not fit into their recognized and fanatically replicated Darwin's theory of the origin of man from apes ... therefore, they simply do not recognize these findings, and hush up their existence so as not to rewrite the history books.
MECHANICAL COMPUTING ARTIFACT
A shocking discovery was found at the bottom of the sea in 1901! A mechanical computing artifact estimated to be approximately 2,000 years old...
The study of this artifact completely crosses out our ideas about the past of mankind.
A 2000-year-old mechanical computing artifact was found on a Roman ship that sank in the Aegean Sea in 1901. Scientists managed to restore the original image of the mechanism and suggest that it was used for complex astronomical calculations. The mechanism contained a large number of bronze gears in a wooden case, on which dials with arrows were placed, and was used for mathematical calculations and calculations. Other devices of similar complexity are unknown in Hellenistic culture. The differential gear involved in it was invented in the 16th century, and the miniaturization of some parts is comparable to that which was achieved only in the 18th century by watchmakers. Approximate dimensions of the mechanism assembly 33x18x10 cm.
If you look at this artifact from the standpoint of modern accepted history, then the problem is that at the time when this mechanism was invented, the laws of gravity and motion of celestial bodies had not yet been discovered. In other words, the Antikythera Mechanism has functions that no ordinary person of that time would understand, and no goals of that era (for example, navigation of ships) can explain the functions and settings that this device has, unprecedented for that time.
If we take into account that in ancient times people had knowledge, then there is nothing surprising in this. After all, humanity develops cyclically, and not linearly, as we are taught in school. And before our this civilization, on Earth there were already developed civilizations that possessed knowledge, understood and studied the sky.
FIGURINES FROM ECUADOR
Figurines very reminiscent of astronauts found in Ecuador, their age is over 2000 years.
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.
BOOT TRACK WITH TRILOBITE
"... On our Earth, archaeologists discovered a once living creature called a trilobite. It existed 600-260 million years ago, after which it died out. An American scientist found a trilobite fossil, on which a human footprint is visible, and with a clear boot print. Doesn't Is this historians the subject of a joke? evolutionary theory Darwin, how could a man exist 260 million years ago?"
IKI STONES
"The museum of the State University of Peru keeps a stone on which a figure of a man is carved. The study showed that it was carved 30 thousand years ago. But this figure in clothes, in a hat and shoes holds a telescope in his hands and observes a celestial body. Like 30 thousand years ago, people knew how to weave? How can it be that people even then walked in clothes? It is completely incomprehensible that he holds a telescope in his hands and observes a celestial body. It means that he still has certain astronomical knowledge. For us, it has long been known that a European Galileo invented the telescope just over 300 years ago, who invented this telescope 30,000 years ago?"
An excerpt from the book Falun Dafa.
Jade discs: a puzzle for archaeologists
In 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 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.
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.
Vase 600 million years old
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 located inside a rock that is 600 million years old.
Corrugated Spheres
For the past few decades, miners in South Africa have been digging up mysterious metal balls. These balls of unknown origin are about an inch in diameter, and some of them are engraved with three parallel lines running along the axis of the object. Two types of balls have been found: one consists of a hard bluish metal with white spots, while the other is emptied from the inside and filled with a white spongy substance. Interestingly, the stone in which they were found belongs to the Precambrian period and dates back 2.8 billion years! Who made these spheres and why remains a mystery.
Fossil giant. Atlant
The 12-foot fossil giant was found in 1895 during mining in the English city of Antrim. Photographs of the giant are taken from the British magazine "Strand" for December 1895. He is 12 feet 2 inches (3.7 meters) tall, 6 feet 6 inches (2 meters) chest, and 4 feet 6 inches (1.4 meters) long. It is noteworthy that there are 6 fingers on his right hand.
Six fingers and toes are reminiscent of people mentioned in the Bible (2nd book of Samuel): “There was still a battle in Gath; and there was one tall man who had six fingers on his hands and on his feet, twenty-four in all.
Giant femur.
In the late 1950s, during road construction in southeastern Turkey in the Euphrates Valley, a number of burials were excavated with gigantic remains. In two, femurs about 120 centimeters long were found. Joe Taylor, director of the Crosbyton Fossil Museum (Texas, USA), carried out the reconstruction. The owner of a femur of this size had a height of about 14-16 feet (about 5 meters) and a foot size of 20-22 inches (almost half a meter!). When walking, his fingers were above the ground at a height of 6 feet.
Huge human footprint.
This footprint was found near Glen Rose, Texas, in the Palaxie River. The print is 35.5 cm long and almost 18 cm wide. Paleontologists say the print is female. The study showed that the person who left such an imprint was about three meters.
Giants from Nevada.
There is a Native American legend about 12-foot (3.6 m) red-haired giants who lived in the Nevada area. It talks about American Indians killing giants in a cave. During the excavation of guano, a huge jaw was found. The photo compares two jaws: found and normal human.
In 1931, two skeletons were found at the bottom of the lake. One was 8 feet (2.4 m.) high, and the other was just under 10 feet (ca. 3 m.).
Ica stones. Dino Rider.
Figurine from the collection of Voldemar Julsrud. Dino Rider.
1944 Acambaro - 300 km north of Mexico City.
Aluminum wedge from Ayud.
In 1974, an aluminum wedge covered with a thick layer of oxide was found on the banks of the Maros River, which is located near the city of Aiud in Transylvania. It is noteworthy that it was found among the remains of a mastodon, which is 20 thousand years old. Usually aluminum is found with impurities of other metals, but the wedge was made of pure aluminum.
It is impossible to find an explanation for this find, since aluminum was discovered only in 1808, and began to be produced in industrial quantities only in 1885. The wedge is still under research in some secret place.
Piri Reis Map
This map, rediscovered in a Turkish museum in 1929, is a mystery not only because of its amazing accuracy, but also because of what it depicts.
Drawn on the skin of a gazelle, the Piri Reis map is the only surviving part of a larger map. It was compiled in the 1500s, according to the inscription on the map itself, from other maps of the three hundredth year. But how is this possible if the map shows:
-South America, precisely positioned relative to Africa
-West coasts of North Africa and Europe, and east coast of Brazil
Most striking is the partially visible continent far to the South, where we know Antarctica is, although it wasn't discovered until 1820. Even more mysterious is that it is depicted in detail and without ice, although this land mass has been covered with ice for at least six thousand years.
Today, this artifact is also not available for public viewing.
Ancient springs, screws and metal.
They are similar to the items that can be found in the scrap box in any workshop.
Obviously, these artifacts were made by someone. However, this set of springs, loops, spirals and other metal objects was found in layers of sedimentary rocks that are one hundred thousand years old! At that time, foundries were not very common.
Thousands of these things - some as small as a thousandth of an inch! - were discovered by gold miners in the Ural Mountains of Russia in the 1990s. Excavated from 3 to 40 feet deep in layers of earth dating back to the Upper Pleistocene period, these mysterious objects may have been created some 20,000 to 100,000 years ago.
Could they be proof of the existence of a long-lost but advanced civilization?
Footprint on granite.
This fossil trace was found in a seam of coal in Fisher Canyon, Nevada. According to estimates, the age of this coal is 15 million years!
And lest you think that this is a fossil of some animal, the shape of which resembles the sole of a modern boot, examination of the footprint under a microscope revealed clearly visible traces of a double seam line along the perimeter of the form. The footprint is about a size 13 and the right side of the heel appears to be more worn than the left.
Like an imprint modern shoes 15 million years ago ended up on a substance that later became coal?
Elias Sotomayor's Mysterious Finds: Ancient Globe.
Large treasure ancient artifacts managed to discover the 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.
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 from the coast South-East Asia towards America, the planet looks very different. 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 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 La Mana find appears to be ancient map peace.
Ancient jade service for 12 persons.
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.
Since the time of Darwin, science has more or less managed to fit into the logical framework and explain most of the evolutionary processes that have taken place on Earth. Archaeologists, biologists, and many other ... scientists agree and are sure that already 400 - 250 thousand years ago, the beginnings of the current society flourished on our planet.
But archeology, you know, is such an unpredictable science, no, no, and it throws up new finds that do not fit into the generally accepted model neatly folded by scientists. We present you the 15 most mysterious artifacts that made the scientific world think about the correctness of existing theories.
Spheres from Klerksdorp
According to rough estimates, these mysterious artifacts are about 3 billion years old. They are disc-shaped and spherical objects. Corrugated balls are of two types: one of bluish metal, monolithic, interspersed with white matter, the other, on the contrary, is hollow, and the cavity is filled with white spongy material. Nobody knows the exact number of spheres, since miners with the help of kmd still continue to extract them from a rock near the city of Klerksdorp, located in South Africa.
Drop Stones
In the mountains of Bayan-Kara-Ula, which are located in China, a unique find was made, the age of which is 10-12 thousand years. Drop stones, numbering in the hundreds, are like gramophone records. These are stone discs with a hole in the middle and a spiral engraving applied to the surface. Some scientists tend to believe that the disks serve as carriers of information about an extraterrestrial civilization.
Antikythera mechanism
In 1901, the Aegean Sea opened secret to scientists sunken Roman ship. Among other surviving antiquities, a mysterious mechanical artifact was found, which was made about 2000 years ago. Scientists managed to recreate the most complex and innovative invention for that time. The Antikythera mechanism was used by the Romans for astronomical calculations. Interestingly, the differential gear used in it was invented only in the 16th century, and the skillfulness of miniature parts from which the amazing device was assembled is not inferior to the skill of watchmakers of the 18th century.
Unique stones were discovered in the Peruvian province of Ica by the surgeon Javier Cabrera. Ica stones are processed volcanic rock covered with engravings. But the whole mystery is that among the images there are dinosaurs (brontosaurs, pterosaurs and triceraptors). Perhaps, despite all the arguments of scientific anthropologists, the ancestors of modern man were already flourishing and engaged in creativity at the time when these giants roamed the earth?
Baghdad Battery
In 1936, a strange-looking vessel was found in Baghdad, sealed with a concrete plug. Inside the mysterious artifact was a metal rod. Subsequent experiments showed that the vessel performed the function of an ancient battery, since by filling a structure similar to the Baghdad battery with electrolyte available for that time, it is possible to obtain electricity of 1 V. Now one can argue who owns the title of the founder of the doctrine of electricity, because the Baghdad battery is 2000 years older than Alessandro Volta.
Ancient "spark plug"
In the mountains of Coso in California, an expedition that was looking for new minerals found a strange artifact, with its appearance and properties, it strongly resembles a “spark plug”. Despite the dilapidation, one can confidently distinguish a ceramic cylinder, inside of which there is a magnetized metal two-millimeter rod. And the cylinder itself is enclosed in a copper hexagon. The age of the mysterious find will surprise even the most inveterate skeptic - it is more than 500,000 years old!
Stone balls of Costa Rica
Three hundred stone balls scattered along the coast of Costa Rica vary both in age (from 200 BC to 1500 AD) and in size. However, scientists are still not clear how exactly the ancient people made them and for what purposes.
Planes, tanks and submarines of ancient Egypt
There is no doubt that the Egyptians built the pyramids, but could the same Egyptians have thought of constructing an airplane? Scientists have been asking this question since a mysterious artifact was discovered in one of the Egyptian caves in 1898. The shape of the device is similar to an airplane, and, given its initial speed, it could well fly. The fact that in the era of the New Kingdom the Egyptians knew such technical inventions as an airship, a helicopter and a submarine is told by a fresco on the ceiling of a temple located near Cairo.
Human palm print, 110 million years old
And this is not the age for humanity at all, if we take and add here such a mysterious artifact as a petrified finger from the Arctic part of Canada, which belongs to a person and has the same age. And the footprint found in Utah, and not just a foot, but shod in a sandal, is 300-600 million years old! You wonder, so when did humanity originate?
Metal pipes from Saint-Jean-de-Livet
The age of the rock from which the metal pipes were extracted is 65 million years, therefore, the artifact was made at the same time. Wow Iron Age. Another strange find was mined from a Scottish rock dating back to the lower Devonian period, that is, 360 - 408 million years ago. This mysterious artifact was a metal nail.
In 1844, the Englishman David Brewster reported that an iron nail had been found in a block of sandstone in one of the Scottish quarries. Its hat was so "grown" into the stone that it was not possible to suspect the falsification of the find, although the age of the sandstone, dating back to the Devonian period, is about 400 million years.
Already in our memory, in the second half of the twentieth century, a discovery was made, which scientists still cannot explain. Near the American town with the loud name of London, in the state of Texas, when splitting sandstone of the Ordovician period (Paleozoic, 500 million years ago), an iron hammer with the remains of a wooden handle was found. If we discard a person who did not exist at that time, it turns out that trilobites and dinosaurs smelted iron and used it for economic purposes. If we discard stupid mollusks, then we need to somehow explain the finds, for example, such as this one: in 1968, the French Druet and Salfati discovered in the quarries of Saint-Jean-de-Livet, in France, oval-shaped metal pipes, whose age, if dated by the Cretaceous layers, is 65 million years - the era of the last reptiles.
Or this one: in the middle of the 19th century, explosive work was carried out in Massachusetts, and a metal vessel was found among the fragments of stone blocks, which was torn in half by an explosive wave. It was a vase about 10 centimeters high, made of metal resembling zinc in color. The walls of the vessel were decorated with images of six flowers in the form of a bouquet. The rock, in which this outlandish vase was kept, belonged to the beginning of the Paleozoic (Cambrian), when life was barely born on earth - 600 million years ago.
Iron mug in the corner
It is not known what the scientist would say if in a coal block, instead of an imprint ancient plant, would have found ... an iron mug. Would date coal seam according to a man from the Iron Age, or still, the Carboniferous period, when even dinosaurs did not exist? But such an object was found, and until recently that mug was kept in one of the private museums in America, in South Missouri, although with the death of the owner, the trace of the scandalous object was lost, to the great, it should be noted, relief of pundits. However, the photograph remains.
The mug had the following document, signed by Frank Kenwood: “In 1912, when I was working at the municipal power plant in Thomas, Oklahoma, I came across a massive block of coal. It was too big and I had to smash it with a hammer. This iron mug fell out of a block, leaving behind a recess in the coal. An eyewitness of how I broke a block and how a mug fell out of it was an employee of the company named Jim Stoll. I managed to find out the origin of coal - it was mined in the mines of Wilburton, in Oklahoma. According to scientists, the coal mined in the mines of Oklahoma is 312 million years old, unless, of course, dating by a circle. Or did man live with trilobites - those shrimp of the past?
Foot on a trilobite
Fossilized trilobite. 300 million years ago!
Although there is a find that speaks precisely about this - a trilobite crushed by a shoe! The fossil was discovered by a passionate lover of shellfish, William Meister, who in 1968 examined the vicinity of Antelope Spring, in Utah. He split a piece of shale and saw the following picture (in the photo - a split stone).
One can see the imprint of the shoe of the right foot, under which there were two small trilobites. Scientists explain this by the play of nature, and are ready to believe in the discovery only if there is a whole chain of such traces. Meister is not a specialist, but a draftsman, in free time looking for antiquity, but his reasoning is sound: the imprint of the shoe was not found on the surface of hardened clay, but after splitting the piece: the chip fell along the imprint, along the border of the compaction caused by the pressure of the shoe. However, they do not want to talk to him: after all, man, according to evolutionary theory, did not live in the Cambrian period. There weren't even dinosaurs back then. Or... geochronology is false.
In 1922, American geologist John Reid conducted a search in the state of Nevada. Unexpectedly for himself, he found a clear imprint of the sole of the shoe on the stone. A photograph of this wonderful find is still preserved.
Also in 1922, an article by Dr. W. Ballou appeared in the New York Sunday American. He wrote: “Some time ago, the famous geologist John T. Reid, while searching for fossils, suddenly froze in embarrassment and surprise at the rock under his feet. There was what looked like a human print, but not of a bare foot, but of the sole of a shoe that had turned to stone. The forefoot is gone, but retains the contour of at least two-thirds of the outsole. A well-defined thread ran around the contour, which, as it turned out, attached the welt to the sole. This is how the fossil was found, which is today the biggest mystery for science, since it was found in a rock that is at least 5 million years old.
The geologist took the cut piece of rock to New York, where it was examined by several professors from the American Museum of Natural History and a geologist from Columbia University. Their conclusion was unequivocal: the rock is 200 million years old - the Mesozoic, the Triassic period. However, the imprint itself was recognized, both by these and by all other scientists, as a game of nature. Otherwise, one would have to admit that people in shoes sewn with thread lived with a number of dinosaurs.
Two mysterious cylinders
In 1993, Philip Reef was the owner of another amazing find. When tunneling in the mountains of California, two mysterious Cylinders were discovered, they resemble the so-called "cylinders of the Egyptian pharaohs."
But their properties are completely different from them. They consist half of platinum, half of an unknown metal. If they are heated, for example, to 50°C, they retain this temperature for several hours, regardless of the ambient temperature. Then they cool almost instantly to air temperature. If an electric current is passed through them, they change color from silver to black, and then again acquire their original color. Undoubtedly, the cylinders contain other secrets that have yet to be discovered. According to radiocarbon analysis, the age of these artifacts is about 25 million years.
Mayan crystal skulls
According to the most common story, the "Skull of Destiny" was found in 1927 by the English explorer Frederick A. Mitchell-Hedges among the Mayan ruins in Lubaantun (modern Belize).
Others claim that the scientist bought this object at Sotheby's in London in 1943. In any case, this rock crystal skull is so perfectly carved that it appears to be a priceless work of art.
So, if we consider the first hypothesis correct (according to which the skull is a Mayan creation), then a whole rain of questions falls upon us.
Scientists believe that the Skull of Destiny is, in some ways, technically impossible. Weighing almost 5 kg, and being a perfect copy of a female skull, it has a completeness that would not be possible without the use of more or less modern methods, methods that the Maya culture owned and that we do not know about.
The skull is perfectly polished. Its jaw is a hinged part separate from the rest of the skull. It has long attracted (and probably will continue to do so to a somewhat lesser extent) specialists from various disciplines.
Mention should also be made of the relentless attribution by a group of esotericists of supernatural powers, such as telekinesis, the emission of an unusual fragrance, color changes. The existence of all these properties is difficult to prove.
The skull was subjected to various analyses. One of the inexplicable things is that, made of quartz glass, and therefore having a hardness of 7 on the Mohs scale (a scale of mineral hardness from 0 to 10), the skull could be carved without such hard cutting materials as ruby and diamond.
Studies of the skull, conducted by the American company Hewlett-Packard in the 1970s, determined that in order to achieve such perfection, it would have to be sanded for 300 years.
Could the Maya have deliberately designed this type of work, which was scheduled for completion in 3 centuries? We can only say with certainty that the Skull of Destiny is not the only one of its kind.
Several of these items have been found around the world and are made from other quartz-like materials. Among them is a whole jadeite skeleton found in the region of China/Mongolia, made on a smaller scale than a human, according to estimates, approx. in 3500-2200 BC.
There are doubts about the authenticity of many of these artifacts, but there is something that is certain: crystal skulls continue to delight daring scientists.
Despite the level of technological progress and all the accumulated knowledge about the history of our planet and the civilizations that inhabited it, we still cannot figure out some mysterious discoveries.
Most of the finds allow scientists to learn something new about the past, but there are also artifacts that contradict all logic and challenge the generally accepted knowledge about the capabilities of ancient peoples. For example, how exactly was Stonehenge built? Why were the Nazca geoglyphs drawn? Who wrote the Devil's Bible?
However, if we do not understand something, this does not mean that we still cannot try to learn something new thanks to mysterious finds. As a result, researchers will definitely find all the answers. In the meantime, let's just find out what kind of puzzles modern archaeologists are struggling with. Here is a selection of 25 such secrets of the past!
25. Roman dodecahedrons
Roman dodecahedrons date back to the 2nd and 3rd century AD and are still a real mystery to the scientific community. The diameter of these artifacts is usually from 3 to 11 centimeters, they are most often made of bronze and represent a polyhedron of 12 regular pentagons with round holes and balls at the top of each corner. According to some versions, dodecahedrons were used either for ritual purposes or as a measuring instrument. These were very valuable items, and throughout Europe, archaeologists have already found several hundred of these mysterious artifacts.
24. Giant circles

On the territory of Jordan and Syria, with the help of satellite imagery, 8 huge circles were discovered. The diameter of the figures is from 220 to 455 meters, and no one knows exactly when they appeared here, or why they were drawn. Archaeologists are still excavating at the site of the discovery of mysterious formations, but even now they are suggesting that these objects belong to the period from the beginning of the Bronze Age to the time of the Roman Empire.
23. Copper scroll

Among other scrolls found in the Dead Sea area, there is one manuscript that is different from all the others. The discovery was made in 1952, and unlike parchment or papyrus artifacts, this scroll is made of a metal alloy (mainly copper). The manuscript contains approximately the following text: “Nine hundred talents are hidden in a large cistern, which is located in the courtyard of the columned hall, in a recess opposite the door, in the corner. In the cistern under the wall on the east side are six hundred silver ingots. In the southern corner of the pillared hall near the tomb of Zadok and under the pillar in the assembly hall, there is a spruce vessel for incense and a similar vessel made of cassia wood. Yes, this is a real treasure map. Historians and ordinary treasure hunters have been trying in vain to find this treasure already. long years. Some experts have even begun to suggest that the text is metaphorical in nature, or is more of a recommendation than a description of a cache already made.
22. Rongo-rongo writing
Photo: Wikipedia Commons.com
Rongorongo writings were found on Easter Island in the 19th century. They are a collection of wooden planks covered with mysterious hieroglyphs of unknown origin. No one has been able to decipher the meaning of these ancient letters, but some scholars believe that deciphering these texts would help shed light on the mysterious disappearance of the ancient civilization that once inhabited Easter Island.
21. Scottish Pyramids of Clava
Photo: Elliott Simpson
These mysterious stone structures are nearly 4,000 years old and have been found on the south bank of the River Nairn in Scotland. Piles of stones dilute vertically standing megaliths (stone blocks), and most of all scientists are puzzled by the question of how exactly the people of those years managed to collect all these heavy boulders in one place and set them up in the form of a ring monument. In addition, researchers do not quite understand why this ancient complex was built at all. Among most theories, the most common are related to funerary rituals, solstice observations, and even extraterrestrials.
20. Potbellied Hill or Göbekli Tepe

Göbekli Tepe is the largest archaeological complex discovered in Turkey, whose age is approximately 11,000 years, that is, it is 6,000 years older than even the legendary Stonehenge. In the temple complex, many pillars were found, decorated with carved silhouettes of animals and other mystical creatures, as well as many other places of worship. Initially hidden under a 15-meter hill, the complex was mistaken for an ancient cemetery, but archaeologists later realized that they were faced with something more grandiose. Most likely, it was just a temple, but research is still ongoing.
19. American Stonehenge

American Stonehenge discovered in the town of Salem, New Hampshire (Salem, New Hampshire). This amazing monument is a system of caves and stone structures, and its origin is still unclear and causes a lot of controversy among experienced archaeologists. The area on which the complex is located belonged to the Pattees family, but the object remained unnoticed until William Goodwin bought the land in 1937. Since then, archaeological excavations have begun here. Radiocarbon analysis showed that the creation of this mysterious place was worked on as far back as 2000 BC. But who exactly lived in this American Stonehenge is still unknown to science.
18. Stone balls of Costa Rica Las Bolas

The locals call them Las Bolas (balls). These spherical artifacts are scattered along the coast of the Diquis Delta, on the Nicoya Peninsula and on the island of Caño in southern Costa Rica. The giant stone spheres date back to around 600 AD and are predominantly composed of gabbro (igneous rock). The purpose of the stone balls is still a mystery, but scientists suggest that they were either used as landmarks or to study the stars.
17. Treasures and the mysterious disappearance of the people of Sanxingdui (Sanxingdui)
Photo: Nishanshaman
This archaeological mystery lies not so much in the artifacts themselves, but in the creators of the finds. In 1929 and then in 1986, a pit with jade items was discovered in the Chinese province of Sichuan. A simple peasant was the first to find it, and after several decades, full-fledged excavations were finally carried out here. Bronze and stone artifacts, elephant tusks and other amazing finds were hidden in the treasury. Apparently, the Sanxingdui culture lived in these lands on the banks of the Minjing River about 3,000 years ago, but suddenly they literally disappeared from the face of the Earth, and scientists are still wondering why. Wars and famines are mentioned among the probable causes. One of the most recent speculations is related to a strong earthquake. Perhaps, during the next powerful shock, a serious landslide occurred, blocking the riverbed and changing its course, which forced the ancient settlement in a hurry to change their place of residence in search of a new source of water.
16. Geoglyphs of Nazca

Lines and geometric patterns in the Nazca Desert (Peru) are one of the greatest archaeological mysteries in the world. Scattered throughout the Peruvian plateau are a great many of these mysterious inscriptions, which appeared between 500 AD and 500 BC. Unusual sizes, the huge number, plot and structure of these geoglyphs puzzled the most prominent scientists. The main version says that these lines and drawings are associated with some ancient rituals or were used by ancient scientists to observe the starry sky.
15. Baghdad Battery

This artifact is almost 2000 years old. The Baghdad battery was found in the suburbs of the Iraqi capital. Before you is an earthenware vessel with a bitumen stopper and an iron rod passed through the stopper into the vase itself, inside of which there is also a copper cylinder. Filled with vinegar, this battery is capable of producing electrical voltage at 1.1 volts. However, no written confirmation that these vessels were used in this way has been found. Scientists have not found any other devices that would work at the expense of these ancient galvanic cells. Skeptics believe that these were ordinary vessels for storing manuscripts.

In the Turkish province of Nevsehir (Nevsehir), a real city was hiding right under the ground for many years. There are many similar dungeons in Turkey, but Derinkuyu is the largest of them. The shelter consists of 8 levels and descends to a depth of 80 meters. The cave kingdom was built around the 8th century BC, and the first inhabitants were the ancient Phrygians, and then the early Christians, who hid here from persecution. However, the original purpose of such a grandiose underground structure is still unknown.
13. Shroud of Turin

The Shroud of Turin is a 4-meter linen cloth with the imprint of the body of a man executed on a cross. The shroud is kept in the Cathedral of St. John the Baptist in Turin and is recognized as one of the most important Christian relics, since believers believe that the body of Jesus Christ was wrapped in it when he was buried in the tomb of a Jewish elder. Scientific research has not yet shed light on the age of the canvas, since some experts believe that the fabric was produced during the Middle Ages, while other scientists attribute it to the time of Jesus Christ. The Catholic Church does not recognize the shroud as genuine, and the Orthodox Church has so far abandoned its official position on this matter.
12. Underwater cairn

In Lake Tiberias, using the echolocation method, scientists recently discovered an entire underwater pyramid. The pile of stones stretched about 70 meters in diameter, but archaeologists have not yet been able to determine its age or purpose. There are a lot of tilapia swimming in this lake, and this has led some experts to believe that this facility was once used for fishing.
11. Stonehenge

Stonehenge is a very famous archaeological complex, which has long been considered a real mystery. The largest stone blocks weigh about 25 tons each and rise 9 meters above the ground. Some of these giant boulders were brought from West Wales, which means they were dragged as much as 225 kilometers. How exactly the ancient inhabitants of these places managed to transport such heavy stones is still. It probably took the coordinated work of several thousand people at the same time to carry them. If this was the case, then the creation of this complex should have marked the real unification of England in those years, because the construction required very serious resources and the involvement a large number working hands.
10. Sound effects in the hypogeum (sanctuary) Hal Saflieni (Hal Saflieni)

Hal Saflieni Temple is located in Malta and this prehistoric complex is almost 5000 years old. In addition, it is one of the very few underground sanctuaries dating back to the Bronze Age. No one knows exactly why this hypogeum was built, but the main version is that it served as a refuge for the prophet, and subsequently a burial ground was organized here. This place becomes even more mysterious due to its unusual properties, due to which sounds are perceived here in an unusual way. There is a special room in the dungeon where all the lowest sounds resonate as loudly as if you are in the center of a giant bell, but outside of this room you can hardly hear anything. Was it so conceived by ancient people during the construction of the complex, or is it an unforeseen effect?
9. Khatt Shebib

Sir Ales Kirkbride discovered Hutt Shebib in 1948. it ancient wall, stretching for 150 kilometers through almost all of Jordan. Since its opening, the building has been shrouded in mystery and will captivate the minds of prominent archaeologists. No one still knows how ancient Hutt Shebib is, and what it was intended for. Today, only modest ruins remain of the wall, although it was presumably not too high before, which means that the wall was certainly not conceived for defensive purposes. It is possible that it was used by ancient farmers, or that it was some kind of boundary symbol.
8. Giant Codex or Devil's Bible
Photo: Wikipedia Commons.com
Codex Gigas (in Latin) is a medieval parchment manuscript, recognized as the largest and heaviest handwritten book in all of Western Europe. The arch is so heavy that only 2 people can move it at the same time, because the weight of this block is about 75 kilograms. The Giant Codex includes the Old and New Testaments, as well as several other texts - the works of Josephus Flavius, the "Etymology" of Isidore of Seville, the "Czech Chronicle" of Cosmas of Prague and other books in Latin. The author of the codex is unknown, but presumably he was a single person - a hermit monk who worked on the creation of the manuscript for several decades in a row. This collection is called the Devil's Bible because it also contains a full-page image of Satan.
7 Puma Punku

Puma Punku is a Bolivian complex of huge megaliths carved from stone with the finest precision. The most main riddle today - not so much the purpose of some of the local objects, but their age. The opinions of experts are divided, and very different from each other. So some scientists believe that the complex appeared around 500-600 BC, while others believe that the artifacts are almost 17,000 years old. Another amazing feature of Puma Punku is the incredible precision with which the stones were processed. The blocks look like they were cut with a diamond cutter, but this technology is unlikely to have existed in such ancient times.
6. Longyu Caves

Discovered in 1992 near the village of Longyu, the amazing Longyu Caves are a whole system of man-made dungeons that have been in a flooded state for a long time. They were discovered during the cleaning of local ponds, and in the end it turned out that the height of some of the rooms reaches 30 meters. None of the 24 has a connection with the neighboring one, but they all have common walls. The dungeons are simply huge, executed with incredible craftsmanship and require considerable effort to create them, but for some reason not a single historical document mentions their existence. The age of the structures was determined by a number of indirect signs (for example, by stalactites) and is approximately 2200 years old.
5 Superhenge

Not far from the famous Stonehenge, archaeologists have discovered an even larger complex, hiding deep underground. It was called Superhenge, and this monument consists of 90 huge stone blocks, reminiscent of the megaliths from Stonehenge. Scientists have discovered this complex thanks to ground-based penetrating radar, and the monument has not yet been excavated. Experts find it difficult to answer the question about the purpose of the object, but they are sure that all these stones were buried here with some special intent.
4. Stone labyrinths of Bolshoi Zayatsky Island

A small Russian island, lost in the White Sea, no more than 2.5 square kilometers in size, is an almost uninhabited piece of land that keeps many secrets. For example, did you know that stone labyrinths have been decorating this place for almost 32 thousand years? All these piles and outlandish mounds cover the main part of the island, but archaeologists still have not figured out who exactly built the mysterious labyrinths, and for what purpose. Perhaps these were religious altars or other ritual objects.
3. Stone slab Cochno

In Scotland, archaeologists have unearthed a 5,000-year-old stone slab decorated with unusual geometric patterns. The Kochno stone (from the name of the farm near which the artifact was found) is 13 meters long and 7.9 meters wide, and scientists called the drawings carved on its surface "bowls and ring marks." Similar patterns are found around the world and in other prehistoric locations. The meaning of these drawings remains unknown until now, as well as who created them. In addition, it is not clear how exactly the ancient people managed to leave these marks in places so remote from each other. The Kochno slab was transported to another place not only for further research, but also to protect it from vandal encroachments.
2Microscopic Copper Findings Almost 300,000 Years Old
Photo: Ugraland
In 1991, mysterious artifacts were discovered on the banks of the Narada, Kozhim and Balbanyu rivers in the Ural Mountains. The microscopic spiral-shaped copper and tungsten parts are amazing because experts are still arguing about their age. Some scientists suggest that these finds are somehow connected with rocket tests at the nearby Baikonur and Plesetsk cosmodromes. However, other researchers argue that the rocks in which these mysterious springs were found are too old, and analysis of these layers has shown that the finds could be about 300,000 years old.
1. Tomb with skulls from Sanken
Photo: Pixabay.com
In Sweden, archaeologists have discovered a burial site of human remains that are almost 8,000 years old. The researchers found there 11 skulls of men, women, children and babies. Probably, scientists stumbled upon a tomb, equipped here during the Stone Age, when hunters and gatherers strung the heads of the dead on one common pole and buried them in lakes. How exactly and why the ancient people came up with such a terrible ritual, no one knows.
The world is full of strange and mysterious artifacts. Some are almost certainly hoaxes, while others involve 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 of ancient Sumer, a manuscript was found that lists all the kings of this state. The researchers initially thought that this was an ordinary 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 remarkably clear and uniform, as if it were 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, the Antiquities of the Jews by Josephus, the collection of medical works by Hippocrates and Theophilus, the Chronicle of Bohemia by Cosma of Prague, the Etymological Encyclopedia by Isidore of Seville, exorcism rites, magic formulas, and an illustration of the heavenly cities.
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 construction 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
Bolshoi 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 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.
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 a spoke in the wheel” of the dogmas of historians, because no one has been seriously considering intangible objects for a long time, ranking ancient history to mythology, and presenting mythology as a literary genre recommended for reading by lovers of fables. 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 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 rock Roxbury, whose origin 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 accident - an expedition with the telling name "Kosmopoisk" was looking for fragments of a meteorite in the fields of the Kaluga region, and found a completely local, earthly object - a stone from which a part of a part that had long frozen in it looked like a bolt (coil ).
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. Skull boxes various shapes, large, with an elongated or rounded shape of the back of the head, now and then come across during excavations, undermining the theory of the origin and evolution of man with their appearance.
Other important finds are connected with this part of the human skeleton. Images of craniotomy operations that 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 the Carboniferous period of the planet's 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 of various 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 the 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 to the stone by an unknown chemical method. On diopside glass, which allegedly began to be produced towards the end of the last century, the relief of the planet was skillfully depicted, 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. The stones of different sizes depicted people and scenes from their lives, animals, maps and much more 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 many 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 received an electric current. 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 people who believe in miraculous healings, as well as a place for constant scientific observations and discussions that do not give a single answer to the question about the essence of the pillar.
Chain of precious metal in a piece of coal three hundred million years old
Some of the archaeological mysteries that have been found pose questions to humanity not about how this or that unusual thing was created. 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 between its two halves sagged gold chain, with 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 an alloy known to people, for example, according to 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.
