What artifacts exist on earth. Ancient artifacts of Siberia that parasites hide from us and destroy
According to the interpretation of some fundamentalists, the Bible says that God created Adam and Eve several thousand years ago. Science reports that this is just fiction, and that man is a few million years old, and civilizations are tens of thousands of years old. However, could it be that conventional science is as wrong as the biblical stories? There is ample archaeological evidence that the history of life on Earth may be very different from what we are told today by geological and anthropological texts.
Consider the following amazing finds:
Corrugated Spheres
Over the past few decades, miners in South Africa dug 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.
Artifact Koso
While searching for minerals in the mountains of California near Olancha in the winter of 1961, Wallace Lane, Virginia Maxey, and Mike Mikesell found what they thought was a geode—a nice addition to their gem shop. However, after cutting the stone, Mikesell found an object inside that looked like white porcelain. At its center was a shaft of shiny metal. The experts concluded that if it was a geode, it would have taken approximately 500,000 years to form, but the object inside was clearly a piece of human production.
Further examination determined that the porcelain was surrounded by a hexagonal body, and X-rays revealed a tiny spring at one end, similar to a spark plug. As you might have guessed, this artifact is surrounded by some controversy. Some argue that the object was not inside the geode, but was covered in hardened clay.
The find itself was identified by experts as a spark plug from the 1920s. Unfortunately, Koso's artifact has been lost and cannot be thoroughly studied. Is there a natural explanation for this phenomenon? Was it found, as the discoverer claimed, inside the geode? If this is true, how could a 1920s-era spark plug get inside a stone that is 500,000 years old?
Strange metal objects
Sixty-five million years ago there were no humans, let alone anyone who could work with metal. In that case, how does science explain semi-oval metal pipes dug in France from Cretaceous chalk?
In 1885, when a piece of coal was broken, a metal cube was discovered, clearly processed by a craftsman. In 1912, power station workers broke a large piece of coal from which an iron pot fell out. A nail was found in a sandstone block from the Mesozoic era. There are many more such anomalies. How can these findings be explained? There are several options:
Intelligent people existed much earlier than we think
-In our history there is no data about other intelligent beings and civilizations that existed on our Earth
-Our dating methods are completely inaccurate and these rocks, charcoal and fossils are forming much faster than we think today.
In any case, these examples - and there are many more - should prompt all curious and open-minded scientists to reexamine and rethink the history of life on Earth.
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.
How did the imprint of modern shoes 15 million years ago end up on a substance that later became coal? There are several options:
The trail was left recently and coal is not formed for millions of years (which science does not agree), or ...
-Fifteen million years ago there were people (or something like people about whom we have no historical data) walking around in shoes, or ...
-The time travelers traveled back in time and inadvertently left a trail, or...
-This is a well thought out prank.
ancient footprint
Today, such footprints can be seen on any beach or muddy ground. But this footprint - clearly anatomically similar to that of a modern human - is frozen in stone, which is estimated to be about 290 million years old.
The discovery was made in 1987 in New Mexico by paleontologist Jerry McDonald. He also found traces of birds and animals, but found it difficult to explain how this modern trace appeared on the Permian rock, which, according to experts, is 290-248 million years old. According to modern scientific thinking, it was formed long before humans (or even birds and dinosaurs) appeared on this planet.
A 1992 Smithsonian Magazine article on the find noted that paleontologists refer to such anomalies as "problematica". In fact, for scientists they are big problems.
This is the white crow theory: all you have to do to prove that not all ravens are black is just to find one white one.
In the same way, to challenge the history of modern man (or perhaps our way of estimating the age of rock strata), we need to find a fossil like this. However, scientists simply shelve such things, call them “problematica” and move on with their unyielding beliefs because reality is too inconvenient.
Is this the right science?
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 Ural mountains 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?
Metal rod in stone
How to explain the fact that the stone was formed around a mysterious metal rod?
Inside the hard black stone found by the stone collector Gillin Wang in China's Mazong Mountains, for unknown reasons, there was a metal rod of unknown origin.
The rod is threaded like a screw, indicating that the item was made, but the fact that it has been in the ground long enough for solid rock to form around it means that it must be millions of years old.
There were suggestions that the stone is a meteorite that fell to Earth from space, that is, the artifact may be of alien origin.
It is noteworthy that this is not the only case detection of metal screws in hard rocks; there are many other examples:
In the early 2000s, on the outskirts of Moscow, was found strange stone, inside which were two objects similar to screws
-X-ray of another stone found in Russia found eight screws in it!
Williams fork
A man named John Williams said he found the artifact while walking through the remote countryside. He was wearing shorts, and as he passed through the bushes, he looked down to see if he had scratched his legs. It was then that he noticed a strange stone.
The stone itself is ordinary - despite the fact that some manufactured thing is built into it. Whatever it is, it has three metal prongs sticking out of it, like it's some kind of fork.
The location where Williams found the artifact was, he said, "at least 25 feet from the nearest road (which was muddy and barely visible), no urban areas, industrial complexes, power plants, nuclear power plants, airports, or military operations (of which I would know)."
The stone is composed of natural quartz and feldspar granite, and according to geology, such stones do not take decades to form, which would be required if the anomalous item were made. modern man. According to Williams, the stone was about a hundred thousand years old.
Who in those days could make such an object?
Aluminum artifact from Aiud
This five-pound, eight-inch long piece of solid, nearly pure aluminum would have been found in Romania in 1974. Workers digging a trench along the Mures River found several mastodon bones and this mysterious object, which still baffles scientists.
Apparently manufactured and not naturally occurring, the artifact was sent for analysis, which found the item to be 89 percent aluminum with traces of copper, zinc, lead, cadmium, nickel, and other elements. In this form, aluminum does not exist in nature. It must have been manufactured, but such aluminum was not produced until the 1800s.
If the artifact is of the same age as the bones of the mastodon, this means that it is at least 11 thousand years old, because it was then that the last representatives of the mastodons died out. Analysis of the oxidized layer that covered the artifact determined that it is 300-400 years old - that is, it was created much earlier than the aluminum processing process was invented.
So who made this item? And what was it used for? There are those who immediately suggested the alien origin of the artifact ... however, the facts are still unknown.
It is strange (or maybe not) that the mysterious item was hidden somewhere and today it is not available for public viewing or further research.
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 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 exactly located in relation 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.
petrified hammer
Near the city of London, Texas, in 1936, the head and part of the hammer handle were found.
The discovery was made by Mr. and Mrs. Khan near Red Bay when they noticed a piece of wood sticking out of a stone. In 1947, their son smashed the stone, revealing the head of a hammer inside.
For archaeologists, this tool presents a difficult task: the calcareous rock in which the artifact is located is estimated to be 110-115 million years old. The wooden handle is petrified like ancient petrified wood, and the hammer head, made of solid iron, is of a comparatively modern type.
The only possible scientific explanation came from John Cole, a researcher at the National Center for Science Education:
In 1985, the scientist wrote:
“The stone is real, and for someone unfamiliar with the geological process, it looks impressive. How could a modern artifact get stuck in Ordovician stone? The answer is that the stone does not belong to the Ordovician period. Minerals in solution can solidify around an object that has fallen into the solution, fallen into a crevice, or simply left on the ground, if the source rock (in this case, reportedly Ordovician) is chemically soluble.
In other words, the dissolved parts of the rock solidified around the modern hammer, which may be a miner's hammer from the 1800s.
And what do you think? Modern hammer... or hammer ancient civilization?
Official science is of the opinion that man appeared on Earth relatively recently - about a couple of million years ago. Moreover, it was difficult to call him a man then. Rather, he was a kind of upright creature, which hardly got its own food with the help of stones and sticks and was afraid of open fire.
Not only a drop
However, some amazing artifacts, completely falling out of the strict chain of reasoning created by official science, refute this theory. They do not even simply refute, but directly say: human civilization originated much earlier. And its representatives were capable of not only brandishing sticks and throwing stones, but owned crafts. In addition, they created unique alloys and made such items that modern civilization learned how to create quite recently, just a couple of centuries ago. We will talk about some of these artifacts in this article.
Rex with a ball
West Africa, Sierra Leone. Workers are digging a mine - looking for diamonds. But in addition to diamonds, diggers discover stone figurines depicting elephants with riders. And these riders are of gigantic stature, and on their heads, instead of hair, are snakes. But that's not all. In the same mine, workers found a stone figurine... a dinosaur! 
The figurine depicted the most popular and therefore well-known tyrannosaurus rex, inside of which something rang. When the figurine was sent for examination, it turned out that the ringing was emitted by a ball sealed in it, made of chrome steel. Bearings, drills and other high-strength parts and tools are made from this steel, and, as we understand, humanity has learned how to smelt such steel relatively recently. And these figurines and, accordingly, the ball enclosed inside the tyrannosaurus rex, as the analysis showed, are 17 thousand years old!
"Genetic Disc"
At the end of the 1960s in mountainous areas In Colombia, items made of Luddite were discovered. Luddite is a hard, like granite, black stone with a layered structure. You can process it, but 
with great difficulty. However, the ancient masters succeeded. Among the finds was a Luddite disk, which depicted ... the phased development of a human embryo! Moreover, from the very beginning, that is, from the fertilization of the egg by spermatozoa, which cannot be seen without the help of a microscope. Scientists have called this creation of ancient artisans the "Genetic Disc". There is nothing more to say about him yet.
In 1948, in one of the quarries in the United States, workers split a block of coal. An iron goblet was found inside the block. The age of coal is 55 million years. What is the age of the cup then?
In the same place, in the USA, in the state of Oklahoma, also on a coal mine, workers were digging a mine and in the depths of it they discovered a door made of stone squares polished to a mirror shine, each measuring 15x15 centimeters. The door didn't lead anywhere. But once upon a time they were part of it? And where did they go? And who made it?
Columbus discovered something there
Thanks to the efforts of the conquistadors and church leaders of the Middle Ages, almost no information about pre-Columbian America has been preserved in the world.
And some finds show that a lot of interesting things were happening on these continents, and the representatives of the Old World brought there not culture and enlightenment at all, but rather, on the contrary, darkness and ignorance. Take, for example, this fact. In 1984, about three hundred objects were found in one of the mountain caves of Ecuador that did not correspond to either European culture or the cultures of the Aztecs and Mayans. One of the items was a real and practically complete map Earth from pole to pole, made in stone. On this map, you can easily find the Mediterranean Sea, the Italian "boot", Greece, the African continent ... That's just the place where Japan, the Korean Peninsula, Sakhalin and the adjacent islands are now located, is marked on the map as solid land. Obviously, this was the mainland, which, as a result of volcanic activity and earthquakes, was once split into separate islands. India on this map, by the way, has a much larger area than it does now. Perhaps, due to natural disasters, she also lost part of the territories. 
It is no less interesting to look at the place on the stone map where the Atlantic Ocean. It also has an ocean, but in the middle of it there is another continent. Maybe this is the legendary Atlantis?
Researchers believe that this map is at least 12,000 years old. Not only did unknown masters carve it on stone, they also took it somewhere detailed information about the location of continents, islands, seas and oceans?
Antediluvian cities
Of no less interest and obvious suspicions about the existence of ancient civilizations is the existence of "antediluvian" underground cities. Turkish archaeologists descended to one such city to a depth of 80 meters and found halls with ceilings up to 30 meters and higher. Endless passages and galleries led researchers from room to room, from one city to another for tens of kilometers.
In Turkey, as well as in Israel, the so-called Bell Caves were discovered. Their ancient origin is beyond doubt, but the principle of creation is still not really clear. If we were talking about the use of modern tools, the process would look like this. First, a hole was drilled in the rock with a huge drill. Then the hole gradually expanded, and, in the end, a giant bell-shaped cave with perfectly even walls was obtained. But all this is good, although it is not easy even with modern tools. And where could the ancient unknown builders get a giant drill and grinding equipment? Mystery!
And this is only a small part of the mysterious artifacts, indicating that our distant ancestors had much more extensive knowledge and capabilities than official science claims.
Konstantin Karelov
History of the past. It happens that discovered ancient artifacts that are hidden from us pose unresolvable questions to scientists. Is humanity much older than official science believes? Have aliens visited Earth? How advanced were ancient civilizations? There are no definitive answers yet. What are these artifacts that hide from us, that baffle scientists?
fossil giants
There are famous artifacts that indicate that people of extraordinary size existed on Earth. Isn't that the origin of the story of Jack climbing the Beanstalk into the Land of the Giants?
In the state of Nevada (USA), the local Indians had legends about red-haired giants almost four meters tall (12 feet). Tales told of how brave warriors killed giants in caves. Excavations corroborate these stories. A giant jaw has been found, several times larger than a human. 1931 added two skeletons about three meters tall to the finds
In the Pacific River, located in the state of Texas, they found fossil footprint of a woman's foot 35 cm long and 18 cm wide. The height of a person was about three meters.
In England, in the town of Antrim, earthworks brought a surprise. At the end of the nineteenth century there was 12-foot giant discovered . Luckily, he has long since petrified. The giant's right hand turned out to be six-fingered.
Artifacts out of time
Another type of finds makes fans rub their hands rather more ancient than it is commonly believed, the history of mankind. These are figurines, strange disks and drawings, suggesting that our ancestors possessed a much greater store of knowledge than their time allowed.
Ica stones - artifacts from Peru. First discovered in the 1960s by Dr. Javier Cabrera. An interested researcher has amassed a large collection of artifacts of this kind. The stones depict scenes with dinosaurs and other ancient creatures, alien saucers and strange humanoids. In general, everything that can now be found on the Internet on request "unknown". Dating is thirty thousand years.
Figurines of astronauts from Ecuador are about two thousand years old. The images are easily recognizable, although they look sketchy. Were aliens in space suits visiting Earth at that time? We can only guess where such artifacts came from, which are not even hidden from us.
Aiuda aluminum wedge found on the banks of the Maros River, in Transylvania. The remains of an ancient mastodon, which turned out to be 20 thousand years old, lay right there. It is characteristic that aluminum was discovered only in 1808. The wedge was made without impurities from pure material.
Vase with images of flowers found in an explosion in a quarry. The artifact is unremarkable, except for its age - 600 million years. This is how the rock containing the vase is dated.
Bootprint with trilobite. There could not have been modern shoes, and even more so people 600-250 million years old.
Undefined artifacts
In some cases, associations do not allow even an approximate idea of the purposes for which this or that ancient object served.
Disc Sabu found by the famous Egyptologist Walter Bryan in the 1930s during the excavation of the burial place of Mastaba Sabu, who lived on earth in the third millennium BC. This is a thin stone plate with three curved edges. A cylindrical bushing is visible in the center. It is believed that the disk was part of some mysterious ancient mechanism.
On strange corrugated spheres lucky to stumble upon miners from South Africa. Some of the balls are an inch in diameter (about three centimeters) covered with parallel lines, others are filled with a white spongy substance. Artifacts have been found in rock dating back almost three billion years!
Thin disks of jade found in Chinese graves belonging to noblemen. Why they were put there more than 5 thousand years ago remains a mystery. Jade is a stone of great strength and its processing in those days would have been fraught with difficulties.
Artifacts that are hidden from us can shock and bewilder. It is worth maintaining a skeptical attitude, because sooner or later there will be a scientific answer to every riddle. Dating errors, falsification of drawings on ancient stones, bones of huge animals of the past, mistaken for human ones. This is far from full list explanations of the mysterious finds of archaeologists. Old times are fraught with many secrets that have yet to be discovered and understood. Ancient artifacts will pose various questions to scientists. Perhaps stories? Not a single riddle hidden in the thickness of the rocks will hide from archaeologists.
Over the past hundred years, many artifacts have been discovered that cause at least bewilderment. In other words, these are those objects that, by their existence, do not fit into any of the accepted general theories of the origin of human life on Earth and the entire earthly history as a whole.
Based on biblical sources, you can find out that God created man in his own image just a few thousand years ago. According to orthodox science, the age of a person (say, erectus - erectus man) can be dated no deeper than 2 million years, and the beginning of the formation of the most ancient civilization is only tens of thousands of years old.
But could it be that the Bible and science are wrong, and the age of civilizations is much deeper in the centuries than it seems? There are many archaeological finds that indicate that the development of life on the blue planet may not be as we know it. Here are some artifacts ready to break the usual pattern of opinions.
1. Spheres of the sphere.
Over the past years, miners in South Africa have raised strange spheres made of metal from the bowels of the earth. The origin of objects several centimeters in diameter is completely unknown. And what is curious, one of the balls has an engraving of three grooves parallel to each other, encircling the entire ball.
The amazing artefact balls can be classified into two varieties: some are made of metal interspersed with white, others are hollowed out inside and filled with a spongy white composition.
How it was cast and what purpose is unclear. But what irritates some scientists even more is the date of origin - 2.8 billion years! Erectus, for example, learned how to fry food only 1.8 million years ago. It is difficult to imagine who could make spheres during the Precambrian period (rock layers speak about this). - unless, of course, this is the terrible weapon of the mythical aliens who destroyed the dinosaurs.
By the way, criticism about these areas is also curious. Some believe that it is clearly made by an intelligent being. But others claim the natural origin of these unwanted artifacts. By the way, it is precisely such finds that are also called “forbidden archeology” - such objects do not fit into the framework of the outlined theories about the origin of man.
2. Incredible stone balls of Costa Rica.
As you can see more than once, our ancestors liked spherical shapes. So, pushing through the impenetrable thickets of Costa Rica in 1930, which was justified by the development of the territory, they unexpectedly stumbled upon the ideal roundness of the balls.
The sizes of spherically flat objects vary, from giant ones weighing 16 tons, to small ones, the size of a tennis ball. Dozens of stone balls of Costa Rica lay as if the giants with children had arranged a bowling game here.
The balls turned from a single piece of stone are certainly made by a reasonable, able to think creature, which was in the not so distant past, but the mystery of the unknown is present - who, why, and with what help is unknown. How did the masters of antiquity manage to achieve the perfect circle without the name of a bunch of necessary gadgets?
3. Incredible fossils.
Archeology, paleontology, very important sciences that reveal to us the secret of the life of the planet in the past. However, sometimes the bowels of the earth give out something amazing. Fossils - as each of us knows, this formation occurred thousands and millions of years ago, and it is pointless to object to this, but it is also difficult to believe in the finds stuck in them.
Here, for example, is a fossilized human palm print found in limestone, whose age
is about 110 million years old. The question is, who could imprint his imprint on the Walk of Fame, when there was no human yet? Here is another case from the same category of forbidden archeology: an "abnormal" find of a fossilized human hand was discovered in Bogota (Colombia).
The rock formation, which “fixed” the remains for centuries, dates back to 100-130 million years - an unthinkable date, since then a person could not yet live. This is really an artifact from the category of "forbidden archeology."
4. Metal objects before the Bronze Age.
A piece of pipe 65 million years old is kept in a private collection. According to all theories, man is a young creature on earth, and, in theory, could not process metal. But then who made the flattened metal pipes they dug up in France?
And in 1912, shop workers saw a metal pot fall out of broken coal. But they also found nails in sandstone from the Mesozoic era.
However, there are many other anomalies of this kind, which it is not clear how to deal with, since they clearly fall out of the general idea of human development.
5. Disks of the Dropa tribe, ordinary stones or an alien artifact.
The history of the Drop disks is very, very mysterious (also known as Dzopa, who calls Dropas), their origin is unknown, and often the very existence is denied for some reason despite the facts.
Each disk, 30 cm in diameter, has two grooves radiating towards the edges in the form of a double helix.
Hieroglyphs are applied inside the grooves, as a kind of marking carrying the source of encoded information. According to various sources, at least 716 stone discs were found, about 12,000 years old.
The discovery of Dropa stone disks occurred in 1938 and belongs to a research expedition led by Dr. Chi Pu Tei in Bayan-Kara-Ula, a place lying between Tibet and China. It is believed that the disks belonged to an incredibly ancient and grandiosely developed civilization.
From conversations with local residents it is known that earlier stone discs belonged to the ancestors of the Dropa tribe - which were aliens from distant star worlds! According to legend, the discs contain unique recordings that could be played back if there was a “phonograph” - the discs are unusually similar to small vinyl records.
According to the legends of the tribe, about 10 - 12 thousand years ago, an alien ship made an emergency landing in these places - (the event successfully echoes the Flood). So, the ancestors of the present Dropa tribe arrived on this ship. And the stone discs are all that survived from those people.
Briefly speaking about this find, the following can be noted; disks were found in rocky caves-burials, in which the remains of small skeletons lay, whose growth during life did not exceed 130 centimeters. Big heads, brittle thin bones - all those signs that are formed from a long stay in weightlessness.
6. Ica stones.
From the beginning of the 1930s, the father of Dr. Javier Cabrera, studying the burials of the Incas, found stones with engravings on the sides in the tombs (now there are over 50 thousand stones and boulders). Dr. Cabrera, continued his father's hobby and by cataloging andesite artifacts, he collected a huge collection of amazing objects of distant antiquity. The age of the finds is estimated to be between 500 and 1500 years old, and later they became known as the “Ica stones”.
Quite amusing and curious stones, it must be said, were found near the Peruvian town of Iki, small, weighing 15-20 grams, large, half a ton in weight - on some there are paintings of erotica, the sides of others are decorated with idols. On the third, the absolutely impossible is depicted at all - a clearly traced battle between a man and dinosaurs. It is completely incomprehensible how the ancients found out about brontosaurs and stegosaurs in order to draw animals that died out hundreds of millions of years ago so clearly.
It's scary to even think about how it relates to other images - these are heart operations, as well as the practice of transplantology. Agree, such finds are shocking, and of course contradict the modern chronology of events, or rather, such pictures completely destroy the entire chronological chain of earth history. This can be explained by one, listen to the opinion of Professor of Medicine Cabrera, who says that a powerful and developed culture once lived on Earth.
Doctor's pebbles, and over a decade the collection has grown to 11 thousand copies, have not received recognition, and are considered a modern fake, but this does not apply to all copies, some actually came from ancient times. And yet, the paintings on them do not fit into the framework of the current theories about the age and development of civilizations on Earth, which means that they also fly into the "forbidden archeology" basket.
By the way, Dr. Cabrera is a descendant of Don Jeronimo Luis de Cabrera and Toledo, the Spanish conquistador and founder of the city of Ica in 1563. It was M.D. Cabrera who made the artefacts widely known.
7. Millennial Ford spark plug.
Of course, the internal combustion engine is not a new device. Although when in the California mountains in 1961, Wallace Lane, Maxey and Mike Mikesell stumbled upon an unusual stone, they did not think that the artifact lying inside was about 500,000 years old. At first it was an ordinary beautiful stone, for sale in a store.
This was later, something made of porcelain was found inside, in the center of which was a tube of light metal. It is not clear with the help of what technology this could have been done about half a million years ago. But the experts saw one more thing - some strange formation in the form of a knot.
As further work with the artifact, including X-ray examination, revealed, a small spring is located at the end of the found riddle. Those who have studied this find say that it is very similar to a spark plug! - and this is a little thing which counted half a million years.
However, the investigation conducted by Pierre Stromberg and Paul Heinrich, with the help of American spark plug collectors, can be traced back to the 1920s. Allegedly very similar ones were used in Ford Model T and Model A engines, made of stainless metal. So, in principle, this artifact can be considered critical in terms of age and origin. Although it is surprising how she managed to petrify in such a short time of 40 years?
8 Antikythera Mechanism
This artifact, which caused bewilderment, was recovered by divers from the shipwreck of a ship in 1901 off the coast of Antikythera, a place lies to the north-west of Crete. Divers, mining bronze figurines, and looking for a different cargo of the ship, found an unknown mechanism covered with moldy corrosion with a bunch of gears - which was called Antikythera.
As it was possible to determine, an ancient device with many gears and wheels was made from 100 to 200 years before the birth of Christ. At first, experts decided that this was some kind of astrolabe instrument. But as the x-ray study showed, the mechanism turned out to be more complicated than it was thought - the device contained a system of differential gears.
But as history shows, at that time such solutions did not exist, they appeared only 1400 years later! So it remains a mystery who calculated this mechanism, who could make such a thin instrument about 2,000 years ago. However, it can be assumed that once it was quite a common technology for manufacturing complex devices, it was just forgotten about it once, and then rediscovered.
9. An ancient battery from Baghdad.
The photo shows an amazing artifact of rather deep antiquity - this is a battery 2 years old.
000 years! This curious artifact was found on the ruins of a Parthian village - it is believed that the battery dates back to 226 - 248 BC. Why a battery was needed there and what was connected to it is unknown, but a tall vessel made of clay had a copper cylinder and a rod of oxidized iron inside.
As the experts who studied the find concluded, in order to obtain an electric current, it was necessary to fill a vessel with an acidic or alkaline liquid - and here, please, electricity is ready. By the way, there is nothing surprising in this battery; according to experts, it was most likely used for galvanic work with gold. Maybe it was so, as experts say, but then how could this knowledge be lost for a long 1800 years?
10. Ancient plane or toy?
Yes, looking through the artifacts from the “forbidden archeology” section, one never ceases to wonder how developed the civilizations of antiquity were - for example, the Sumerians owned the world 6,000 years ago - and where, and most importantly how, these technologies important for the development of life were forgotten.
Look at the artifacts of the ancient Egyptian civilization and Central America, they strangely resemble the planes we are used to. It is possible that only a wooden toy was found in an Egyptian tomb in 1898, but it painfully resembles an airplane with wings and a fuselage. In addition, according to experts, the object has a good aerodynamic shape, and is likely to be able to stay in the air and fly.
And if the issue with the Egyptian "Saqqara bird" is quite controversial and criticized, then a small artifact from America made of gold about 1000 years ago can easily be mistaken for a desktop model of an airplane - or, for example, a space shuttle. The object is so carefully and carefully worked out that there is even a pilot's seat on an ancient plane.
A trinket of an ancient civilization, or a model of a real aircraft from ancient times, how can one comment on such finds? - Knowledgeable people speak simply; intelligent beings lived on Earth much earlier than we think about it. Ufologists offer a version with an extraterrestrial civilization that allegedly came to Earth and gave people many technical knowledge. Did our ancestors really possess the greatest secrets and knowledge, which, under the influence of a mysterious factor, were forgotten / erased from the memory of mankind?
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 revealed to scientists the mystery of a 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 served as an ancient battery, since by filling a structure similar to the Baghdad battery with an electrolyte available for that time, it is possible to get electricity at 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.
Aircraft, tanks and submarines 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 at all the age for humanity, 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 chalk 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, instead of the imprint of an ancient plant, in a coal block, he would find ... an iron mug. Would the coal seam be dated by humans from the Iron Age, or still, the Carboniferous, when there weren't even dinosaurs? 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. The meister is not a specialist, but a draftsman who searches for antiquities in his spare time, 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. natural history and geologist at 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 Mayan culture owned and which 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 hardness of minerals 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.
