The most mysterious ancient artifacts. The most amazing ancient artifacts Incredible ancient artifacts
According to some fundamentalists, the Bible tells us that God created Adam and Eve several thousand years ago. Science reports that this is just a fiction, and that man is several million years old, and civilization is tens of thousands of years old. However, could it be that conventional science is just as wrong as the biblical stories? There is ample archaeological evidence that the history of life on Earth may be very different from what geological and anthropological texts tell us today.
Consider the following amazing finds:
Corrugated Spheres
For the past few decades, miners in South Africa have been digging up mysterious metal balls. These balls of unknown origin are approximately an inch (2.54 cm) in diameter, and some of them are engraved with three parallel lines running along the axis of the object. Two types of balls were found: one consisting of a hard bluish metal with white spots, and another empty from the inside and filled with a white spongy substance. Interestingly, the rock in which they were discovered dates back to the Precambrian period and dates back 2.8 billion years! Who made these spheres and why remains a mystery.
Koso Artifact
While prospecting for minerals in the California mountains near Olancha in the winter of 1961, Wallace Lane, Virginia Maxey and Mike Mikesell found what they thought was a geode—a good addition to their gem store. However, after cutting the stone, Mikesell found an object inside that looked like white porcelain. At its center was a shaft of shiny metal. Experts concluded that if it was a geode, it would have taken approximately 500,000 years to form, but the object inside was clearly an example of human production.
Further examination revealed that the porcelain was surrounded by a hexagonal casing, 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 encased in hardened clay.
The find itself was identified by experts as a 1920s spark plug. Unfortunately, the Koso artifact was lost and cannot be carefully studied. Is there a natural explanation for this phenomenon? Was it found, as the discoverer claimed, inside a geode? If this is true, how could a 1920s-era spark plug get inside a 500,000-year-old rock?
Strange metal objects
Sixty-five million years ago there were no people, let alone anyone who knew how to work with metal. In this case, how will science explain the semi-oval metal pipes dug from Cretaceous chalk in France?
In 1885, when breaking a piece of coal, a metal cube was discovered, clearly processed by a craftsman. In 1912, power plant workers broke a large piece of coal, from which an iron pot fell out. A nail was found in a block of Mesozoic era sandstone. 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, coals and fossils are forming much faster than we think today.
Either way, these examples—and there are many more—should motivate all curious and open-minded scientists to reconsider and rethink the history of life on Earth.
Shoe marks on granite
This trace fossil was discovered in a coal seam 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 whose shape resembles the sole of a modern shoe, studying the footprint under a microscope revealed clearly visible traces of a double seam line around the perimeter of the shape. The footprint is about a size 13 and the right side of the heel appears more worn than the left.
How did the imprint of a modern shoe 15 million years ago end up on a substance that later became coal? There are several options:
The trace was left recently and the coal did not form over millions of years (which science does not agree with), or...
Fifteen million years ago there were people (or something like people for whom we have no historical data) who walked around in shoes, or...
Time travelers went back in time and inadvertently left a mark, or...
This is an elaborate 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 - was frozen in stone, 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 ended up on the Permian rock, which experts estimate 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.
In a 1992 article on the discovery in Smithsonian Magazine, it was noted that paleontologists call such anomalies “problematica.” In fact, they are big problems for scientists.
This is the white crow theory: all you have to do to prove that not all crows are black is just find one white one.
In the same way, to challenge the history of modern humans (or perhaps our way of dating rock strata), we need to find a fossil like this. However, scientists simply shelve such artifacts, call them “problematica” and move on with their unyielding beliefs, because the reality is too inconvenient.
Is this science correct?
Ancient springs, screws and metal
They are similar to items you would find in any workshop's scrap bin.
It is obvious that these artifacts were made by someone. However, this collection of springs, loops, spirals and other metal objects was discovered in layers of sedimentary rock 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. Unearthed at depths of 3 to 40 feet, 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 evidence 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 stone collector Gilling Wang in China's Mazong Mountains, for unknown reasons, there was a metal rod of unknown origin.
The rod is threaded like screws, indicating that the item was made, but the fact that it was 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 was a meteorite that fell to Earth from space, that is, the artifact could be of alien origin.
It is noteworthy that this is not the only case of metal screws being found in hard rock; there are many other examples:
In the early 2000s, a strange stone was found on the outskirts of Moscow, inside of which were two objects similar to screws.
X-ray examination of another stone found in Russia revealed eight screws in it!
Williams fork
A man named John Williams said he found the artifact while walking in the remote countryside. He was wearing shorts, and after walking through the bushes, he looked down to check how much 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, as if it were some kind of fork.
The location where Williams found the artifact, he said, was "at least 25 feet from the nearest road (which was dirt and hard to see), and there are no urban areas, industrial complexes, power plants, nuclear power plants, airports or military operations (about which I wish I knew)."
The stone is composed of natural quartz and feldspathic granite, and according to geology, such stones do not take decades to form, which would be required if the anomalous object were made by modern man. According to Williams' calculations, the stone was approximately one hundred thousand years old.
Who in those days could make such an item?
Aluminum artifact from Ayud
This five-pound, eight-inch-long object, made 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 puzzles scientists.
Apparently manufactured and not a natural formation, the artifact was sent for analysis, which found that the object was composed of 89 percent aluminum with traces of copper, zinc, lead, cadmium, nickel and other elements. Aluminum does not exist in nature in this form. It must have been made, but this kind of aluminum wasn't made until the 1800s.
If the artifact is the same age as the mastodon bones, this means that it is at least 11 thousand years old, because that is when the last representatives of mastodons became extinct. Analysis of the oxidized layer covering the artifact determined that it was 300-400 years old - that is, it was created much earlier than the invention of the aluminum processing process.
So who made this item? And what was it used for? There are those who immediately assumed the alien origin of the artifact...however, the facts are still unknown.
It is strange (or maybe not) that the mysterious object was hidden somewhere and today it is not available for public viewing or further research.
Piri Reis Map
Rediscovered in a Turkish museum in 1929, this map is a mystery not only because of its amazing accuracy, but also because of what it depicts.
Painted 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 year 300. But how is this possible if the map shows:
South America, exactly located 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 was not discovered until 1820. Even more puzzling is that it is depicted in detail and without ice, even though this land mass has been covered in ice for at least six thousand years.
Today this artifact is also not available for public viewing.
Petrified Hammer
A hammer head and part of a hammer handle were found near London, Texas in 1936.
The discovery was made by Mr and Mrs Khan near Red Bay when they noticed a piece of wood sticking out of a rock. In 1947, their son broke a stone, discovering a hammer head inside.
For archaeologists, this tool poses a difficult challenge: the calcareous rock that contains the artifact 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 relatively modern type.
The only possible scientific explanation was given by John Cole, a researcher at the National Center for Science Education:
In 1985, the scientist wrote:
“The rock is real, and to anyone unfamiliar with the geological process it looks impressive. How could a modern artifact get stuck in Ordovician stone? The answer is: the stone does not belong to the Ordovician period. Minerals in a solution can harden around an object caught in the solution, dropped into a crevice, or simply left on the ground if the source rock (in this case, reportedly Ordovician) is chemically soluble.”
In other words, dissolved rock solidified around a modern hammer, which may be a miner's hammer from the 1800s.
And what do you think? A modern hammer...or a hammer from an ancient civilization?
Oldowan tools
The most primitive human tools are called Oldowan (Oldowan) due to the fact that they were first found in the Olduvai Gorge in Tanzania.
The most ancient tools were found in Ethiopia. During excavations in the Afar Desert (central Ethiopia), tools dating back 2.5 million years were found in the Hadar area. At excavations in the Omo River Valley in Southern Ethiopia, archaeologists found tools that are about 2.4 - 2.5 million years old. Sites of ancient people were also found here.
Archaeologists consider the characteristic features of processing to be proof of the non-accidentality of chips on tools: stone trimming on one or two edges, the presence of a striking tubercle, as well as the concentration of tools in places where they could not have formed naturally.
By the way, here in Ethiopia, American archaeologists found a spear tip, the age of which was determined to be no less than 280,000 years. The tip is made of volcanic glass and is still very sharp.
Spanish petroglyphs
The most ancient rock paintings are petroglyphs found in Spain on the territory of the El Castillo and Altamira caves. Among the most ancient images are handprints, animal figures and dots. They are made with charcoal, hematite and ocher.
Scientists were able to determine the exact age of one of the palm prints, and it turned out that the drawing is 37,300 years old. The large red dot near this drawing is even older - 40,800 years old.
To determine the age of the drawings, scientists used calcite, which covered the images. The fact is that during the deposition of calcite on the drawings, radioactive uranium atoms entered the mineral, which, upon decay, form thorium. Scientists used the ratio of elements as a time clock, and calculated the time when calcite began to form.
True, archaeologists are still arguing about who exactly left the drawings - Homo Sapiens or whether they belong to Neanderthals.
Germanic ancient figurine
The oldest image of a person was found in Germany by archaeologist Nicholas Conard. This tiny female figurine, carved from mammoth ivory, was discovered in the Hole Fels karst cave in the Swabian Alb, which is located just a kilometer from the town of Schelklingen.
Figurine dimensions: 59.7 mm X 31.3 mm X 34.6 mm. Weight – 33.3 grams. The figurine was originally split into six pieces and is still missing an arm and a shoulder.
The age of the figurine was determined using radiocarbon dating, which was carried out on fragments of the remains of the animals next to which it was found. The spread of data turned out to be quite large. The age of the figurine is estimated at 44,000 years.
The author of the find, Conrad, believes that the figurine of a woman belongs to the Aurignac culture and determines its age as 40,000 years.
Stater of Gyges
The oldest coin in the world is the Lydian stater. The coin was gold and weighed 14 grams. The historian Herodotus wrote about the Lydians: “They were the first of the people to mint coins and engage in petty trading.”
The stater was minted from 685 to 652 under the Lydian king Gyges, the founder of the Mermnad dynasty. On the reverse of the coin there was an image of a lion, personifying the capital of Lydia, Sardis, and on the obverse there were incomprehensible rectangular symbols.
Later, staters spread throughout the Mediterranean and became widespread in Persia. The image of a running fox, which has a sacred meaning, appeared on the staters.
Donetsk sundial
Sundial dating from the 13th to 12th centuries BC. were found in 2011
in the Popov Yar II burial ground, which is located north-west of Donetsk and belongs to the so-called Srubnaya culture, whose representatives were the ancestors of the Scythians.
The clock is a carved slab measuring 100 by 70 centimeters, weighing 130 kilograms, with lines and circles on both sides. Unlike conventional sundials, which use a fixed vertical gnomon, the Donetsk clock was supposed to use a movable gnomon, which took into account the angle of inclination of the Earth's axis. Moreover, the watches were made for use exactly at the latitude at which they were found. Most likely, they belonged to a young man who was buried in the mound.
Antikythera Mechanism
The Antikythera Mechanism was found in 1900 by the Greek diver Lycopanthis among the wreckage of a sunken Greek ship in the Aegean Sea. The artifact consists of several bronze gears mounted inside pieces of limestone. Scientists, using X-rays and then a tomograph, managed to find out that this is a unique mechanical calculator, with the help of which the ancient Greeks determined the day of the week, year, time, and also calculated the paths of movement of the Sun, Moon, Mars, Venus, Mercury, Saturn and Jupiter . The reverse side of the mechanism was used to predict solar and lunar eclipses.
Most likely, the ancient ship came from the island of Rhodes, where the Greek astronomer and mathematician Hipparchus of Nicaea once lived. Based on coins found at the site of the shipwreck by Jacques Cousteau, it was determined that the mechanism was created around 85 BC. It is believed that Archimedes himself invented the mechanism.
Antediluvian Shigir idol
The oldest wooden artifact was found in 1890 in the Shigir swamp in the Urals in Russia. At the second Kuryinsky mine, prospectors from under a four-meter layer of peat extracted fragments of a mysterious artifact, which went down in history as the Great Shigir Idol. In addition to him, more than 3,000 other finds were found - from arrowheads to wooden spoons and even the burial of a woman.
The larch idol is well preserved thanks to peat. Unfortunately, later the lower part was lost. The artifact is covered with geometric patterns that signify natural elements, and faces are carved on wide surfaces. It is crowned with a three-dimensional image of the head.
Now the idol is kept in the Sverdlovsk Regional Museum of Local Lore. In 1997, it began to collapse and urgent conservation was needed. Scientists decided to carbon analyze the wood. The analysis was carried out at the Institute of the History of Material Culture in St. Petersburg. He revealed that the artifact is 9,500 years old. That is, in accordance with the ideas of Christians, it could be created even before the Flood.
Giant humanoids, who entered the legends of many earthly peoples, wandered the Earth and left the creations of their hands even in those places where there were no legends about their presence. These humanoids are recorded in the mythology of Europe as Greek gods or as Vandal Visigoths, in Africa - in the memory of the Dogon tribe, in South and Central America - in the cities of the Maya and the Incas. They also visited Australia and the East, although the only traces of them there are man-made objects. But they were not the only ones to visit the earth, and ancient artifacts testify to this.
Stones Drop
An archaeological expedition led by Dr. Chi Pu Tei, which explored the mountainous region on the border of Tibet and China in 1938, discovered several caves. In the caves, archaeologists found a large burial of some humanoid creatures, about a meter tall and with disproportionately large skulls, and the walls of the caves were painted with images of celestial bodies (the moon, the sun and many stars). Also, these disks, later called Dropa stones, made of granite and measuring about 30 cm in diameter with a hole in the center, fell into the hands of archaeologists. Grooves were applied to the surface of these disks, diverging in a spiral from the center to the edges; upon closer examination, they turned out to be nothing more than a set of unknown hieroglyphs.
The Dropa Stones tend to disappear from museums because they contain Annunaki codes and the elite seek to decipher them. There are various theories. One theory is a connection to dwarf-sized humanoid aliens from Sirius who lived in Tibet and died out long ago. Another is that they depict a type of serpentine dragon that may have looked like a spiral as it rose into space. And another one is that they depict spaceships. There is some truth in each of the three theories. These were the aliens who carried out the movement of heavy loads of the Annunaki - a thick short snake that accompanied them. These short and stout snakes are depicted in stylized form on some of the Dropa stones in their true proportions.
Klerksdorp balls
Klerksdorp balls are spherical or disc-shaped objects several centimeters in size with longitudinal depressions and grooves like notches, often flattened and sometimes fused with each other, which are found in pyrophyllite deposits near the city of Klerksdorp in the North-Western Province of South Africa. They were collected by miners in pyrophyllite at the deposit where this mineral is mined. The sediments are approximately 3 billion years old.
Visitors from other worlds visited Earth before man spread here, for it is a warm, abundant home full of life. These items were left by accident. From time to time, even skulls or some other biological evidence of a visitor who got lost or felt unwell were left behind. No one is looking for remains or accidentally lost artifacts. Therefore, now people sometimes find them and reflect on their purpose.
Map of the Urals
In the region of the Southern Urals near the village of Chandar in 1999, Professor Chuvyrov discovered a stone slab on which was applied a relief map of the West Siberian region, made using technologies unknown to modern science. It is impossible to create such a map today. The dating of the stone map is in the range of 70 - 120 million years! In addition to the natural landscape, this three-dimensional map, the creation of which, at a minimum, requires artificial satellites, depicts two canal systems with a total length of twelve thousand kilometers, five hundred meters wide, as well as twelve dams 300-500 meters wide, up to ten kilometers long and a depth of up to three kilometers. Diamond-shaped areas are marked not far from the canals.
The estimated age of the discovered ancient map of the Ural Mountains is estimated at 120 million years. Our estimate is based on when Earth's creators were present, which is closer to 90 million years. Since the Ural Mountains are located on a solid old earth platform that has always remained above sea level, it is possible and probable that their shape could have remained the same for many past eras. Is this map true, and who made it? It is indeed real, although the age is not fully estimated and has been shifted further from modern times. The map's creators were not Homo sapiens, or even humanoids. Homo Sapiens is not the first intelligent being on Earth capable of forming a reincarnating soul. Before the extinction of the dinosaurs, there was another race here - the reptilians, which were designed for the same level. These reptiles were comparable in development to humans. What can be called their hands were as dexterous as those of modern lizards on Earth. The discovered creation belonged to these creatures.
Artifacts in coal
A resident of Vladivostok discovered a metal rack pressed in coal while lighting a fireplace. After carefully studying the object, the researchers came to the conclusion that the find is 300 million years old and was created by a living creature. The discovery of a strange artifact in coals is far from an isolated case in our time. The first such find was discovered in 1851 in Massachusetts during blasting in a quarry. The silver-zinc vase discovered in coal dates back to the Cambrian period, which began 500 million years ago. In 1912, an American scientist from Oklahoma discovered an iron pot in the coals, 312 million years old. In 1974, an unknown aluminum part was found in the sandstones of a Romanian quarry. An ancient stainless steel hammer found by Emma Khan in June 1934 in Texas. The seashells around the hammer are dated back to 400 million years ago. All these unusual findings baffle scientists, as they undermine the fundamental concepts of modern science.
Humanity was NOT the FIRST intelligent species on Earth. An ancient map of the Ural Mountains demonstrates that something was already there somewhere, eons before humanity was genetically engineered to have a conscious mind. For artifacts to be found in coal, which takes a long time to form under pressure from compressed rock strata, is proof of their age. Moreover, the fact that these numerous finds were made in different parts of the globe shows that this is not a hoax. Combined with the ancient map, what do these findings tell us about this ancient race of large reptiles that were similar in appearance to fossil lizards? They smelted metal, created mechanical devices, changed the conditions of their Earth to more suitable ones by damming rivers, and valued flowering vines.
Antikythera Mechanism
The Antikythera Mechanism is a mechanical device recovered in 1901 from an ancient ship that sank near the Greek island of Antikythera and was discovered by a Greek diver on April 4, 1900. Dating back to approximately 100 BC. e. (possibly before 150 BC). Kept in the National Archaeological Museum in Athens. The mechanism contained 37 bronze gears in a wooden case, on which dials with arrows were placed and, according to reconstruction, was used to calculate the movement of celestial bodies. Other devices of similar complexity are unknown in Hellenistic culture.
Much of humanity's confusion arises from the legends about the Anunnaki, who were from Nibiru - the 12th Planet, in other words - from Planet X. Although in terms of the level of technical development, humanity is now comparable to them, at the time when they were mining there is gold here on Earth, humanity was small, not physically developed to the extent it is today, and was very intimidated by these undoubtedly giants who stand 8 feet tall and have the musculature and skeleton to match that height. The Anunnaki did not leave their technology to humans, and eventually lost interest in them. They chose to mine elsewhere in the solar system. They did not want man to evolve to the point where he could pursue them, which became possible with the ability to send probes to Mars, so these probes had to be shot down. This is recorded. Thus, the technology was not hidden from man, the Anunnaki simply did not share it with him.
Hopi Indian tablets
Each Hopi clan has stone tablets brought from a previous Earth with basic texts for predicting the future and describing the past periods of our planet. Ancient knowledge is stored on stone tablets inscribed with signs similar to runes. According to legend, there are five sets of sacred tablets in the world. The most important ones are located with the Creator, forming the center of the mandala. The four others are associated with the four directions of space and are located in our world (in its dense or thin component).
If a petroglyph depicting spirals in the sky can be found on the walls of a cave, then of course a similar message was commonly conveyed in all cultures that experienced the pole shift. The Egyptians had an illustrative language in the form of hieroglyphic writing, which was translated into English, becoming the Book of Kolbrin. The tablets are simply an intermediate step from the petroglyphs on the cave walls. Will all cultures unite their ancient knowledge before the pole shift? This process now continues as the dissemination of information, and does not need such a formal action as signs stacked together on a table.
Disk from Nebra
The Nebra celestial disk is a bronze disk with a diameter of 30 cm, covered with an aquamarine patina, with gold inserts depicting the Sun, Moon and 32 stars, including the Pleiades cluster. From an artistic and archaeological point of view, it is unique. Based on indirect evidence, it is usually attributed to the Unetice culture of Central Europe (c. 17th century BC). The discovery of the disk became the biggest archaeological sensation of the first decade of the 21st century and caused a lot of controversy in the scientific community.
Assuming that if the mark on the edge of the disk corresponding to the 2 o'clock position symbolizes the direction to Orion from which Planet X came, the group of 7 stars being the Pleiades, the 7 Sisters and the Big Dipper are located in the 8 o'clock direction, then, In addition to the quarter phase of the Moon, this disk shows how the constellations were located around the Sun on March 25, 1600 BC. This is true for Germany, the country where the disc was found (near the town of Nebra), or for the Sumerian state in Iraq, an ancient country that supposedly possessed this knowledge. It is noteworthy that the whole year corresponds to 40 marks, the golden stripe on one edge, a quarter of the length of the year, represents the Solstice period (the season whose middle corresponds to the Solstice point), and the deviation of the length of the golden stripe from a quarter of a turn thus corresponds to the deviation from quarter of the year.
Astronomy in the Zodiac of Dendera and in the Tomb of Senmut
The circumpolar constellations of the southern sky are fully visible only from the southern hemisphere (from South America, from Australia). The central part of the Dendera Zodiac depicts the constellations that surround the south pole of the sky, that is, the southern circumpolar constellations. This was only possible if the Earth flipped over and the north pole became the south pole and vice versa. These facts are convincing evidence that during the times of ancient Egypt the Earth capsized. In the middle part of the scene are three stars from Orion's belt. The ceiling probably depicts the orbit of an astronomical body moving like a comet."
Like the Disk from Nebra, this is an indication from the ancients that something like a comet is coming from the constellation Orion.
Crystal Skulls
Such a skull was first found in 1927 in Central America by the expedition of the famous English archaeologist and traveler F. Albert Mitchell-Hedges. The discovery was preceded by work that began in 1924 to clear an ancient Mayan city in the humid tropical jungle of the Yucatan Peninsula (at that time - British Honduras, now Belize). Thirty-three hectares of forest, which had swallowed up barely visible ancient buildings, were decided to simply be burned to facilitate excavations. When the smoke finally cleared, the expedition members saw an amazing sight: the stone ruins of a pyramid, city walls and a huge amphitheater that could seat thousands of spectators. Lubaantun, “City of Fallen Stones,” is the name with the light hand of Mitchell-Hedges assigned to the ancient settlement.
Crystal skulls, like other alien artifacts, have different purposes. They convince by understanding the very essence that neither people nor nature could create such a crystal. The clue here is not just the shape of these skulls or the fact that the crystal was grown to take that shape. In reality, they were communication devices. Tetrahedron-shaped crystals found on the Moon and Mars served as communication devices for the Anunnaki. One single skull without others set to send or receive a message makes no sense and is only the shape of an alien head. A person cannot use the means of communication that is represented by skulls, although he, of course, tried to do so.
Ancient maps
The Piri Reis Map is a map of the whole world created in 1513 in Constantinople (Ottoman Empire) by the Turkish admiral and great lover of cartography, Piri Reis (full name - Haji Muhiddin Piri ibn Haji Mehmed). The map shows parts of the western coast of Europe and North Africa with high accuracy, and the coast of Brazil and the eastern tip of South America are also easily recognizable on the map.
The Piri Reis map is one of the first known maps that depicts the coasts of both South and North America with sufficient accuracy, although it was compiled only 21 years after Columbus's voyages. The most mysterious thing is that the coast depicted on the map, according to Hapgood, exactly corresponds to the coast of the subglacial part of the continent, the shape of which became known only in the 1950s, after large-scale seismographic studies. This judgment is supported by the findings of the American military, who explored the subglacial terrain of Antarctica in the late 1950s. If we take as a basis the version that the map really shows the ice-free coast of Antarctica, then it could only be mapped in the pre-glacial period, since the glacier protrudes far beyond the land and noticeably changes the outline of the continent. According to modern ideas, the ice sheet on the surface of Antarctica formed several million years ago and since then the continent has never been completely free of ice.
An unsolved puzzle that cartographers are struggling with is the presence of ancient maps that show that the equator and poles were not always where they are today. The accuracy of these maps, detailing land masses and their locations as they are essentially known today, cannot be denied. These are not fantasy maps, for they were drawn with markings relating to the positions of the stars and compass readings that guided sailors to destinations far from land. There is no ready-made explanation, since the detail and consistency of ancient maps does not cause confusion, and the main issue in creating maps - the location of the equator and poles - is unlikely to be confused. The obvious answer is in the face of these cartographers, but the reason they fail in this matter is the anxiety it causes. This map shows that the South Pole of the Earth was NOT in Antarctica. Pole shifts happen frequently, they have happened in the past and they can happen again!
Annunaki machines
What unknown prehistoric civilization could have used such a huge mysterious machine? "What is this?" Brad and Sherry Hansen's tipster Steiger said. It was dug from great depth around 1990-91 on government land while working on a secret project. According to Steiger's anonymous tipster, it's an incredible, gigantic artifact - look how it's blocking the trash can on the right - and five or six others just like it were found, but then they were all buried back in the same place. The surface of the mysterious apparatus is covered with specific hieroglyphs.
The Anunnaki were assisted by Service-to-Self aliens who helped them move large stones into place in Egypt, Central America and Easter Island, carving these stones beautifully so they fit amazingly close together. But not all Anunnaki were accommodating to these aliens and gave in to their demands for cruelty towards people. Those who resisted were forced to build their structures using mechanisms for which they had the appropriate technology. They are at the same level of development as the human race, and people have such huge mechanisms used, for example, for surface mining.
Sword and giant balls
A 1000-pound copper sword (1 pound = 453.6 g) and huge egg-shaped stones were recently found in China. At a construction site located in the Banden and Zhanlong Hills near Gongxi City, Hunan Province, a large number of "stone eggs" were recently discovered along with a copper sword. The discovery was made by highway construction workers as they dug a foundation pit for the road.
Gigantic humanoids from Planet X have been in China and Australia, as well as in the Middle East, Europe, Africa and the Americas. The Easter Island heads are one of the means they use to intimidate humanity, and these eggs are another. What creature is meant here? What giant could wield such a sword?
Ancient traces
One of the most significant evidence of the existence of ancient Man on Earth is his traces found in some places in fossil layers, which are many millions of years old. Thus, Researchers of ancient forms of Life report: in Texas there is the largest location of dinosaur footprints on the globe. It is located in the bed of the Palace River, in the so-called “Valley of the Giants”. Dinosaurs walked here more than 135 million years ago during the Cretaceous period, and then very close by... People! The location of the tracks indicates: the Man was chasing the Dinosaur!”
The footprints on the stone next to the dinosaur tracks were, of course, not made by modern man, who did not exist in those days. Humanoid form has been present everywhere on Earth long before humans were genetically engineered, and it is nothing new to see visitors to Earth taking tours of the sights. It is assumed that when footprints or tools are found, the source was a human like homo sapiens. But there are many humanoids who visited Earth at that time, many of whom are very similar in appearance to humans - Nordics, Pleiadians, Sirians, etc. The Earth has been visited for a long, long time by many intelligent races, often leaving traces. Just as people risk flying to the moon or going deep into the jungle for adventure, these visitors knew they were taking a risk. Sometimes bones are found, such as a skull, that cannot in any way be human. From time to time, in places that are rock today, footprints are discovered that were left when the rock was just dirt. In all cases, these are traces not of homo sapiens, but of aliens!
Mayan calendar
The Mayans are extremely good astronomers who made observations and made precise measurements of the movements of the Moon, Sun, Venus and Mars. The highest achievement of the Indians in astronomy is rightfully considered to be their calendar, based on information and astronomical data. The Mayan calendar, with a thousand-year history, is distinguished by unprecedented accuracy in measuring long periods of time. Since the ancient Mayan calendar became known, researchers have never ceased to be amazed at its accuracy, which surpasses even the calendar we use in the 21st century. According to some estimates, to achieve such a result, the Indians had to observe the movement of celestial bodies for 10 thousand years!
The reason the Mayans had a calendar indicating the approximate time of Nibiru's return was because the Anunnaki shared their information with them. They were concerned that their slaves would not rebel, so they did not want their technology to fall into human hands, but they were not afraid to share their astronomical knowledge.
Voynich manuscript
The Voynich Manuscript is an illustrated codex written by an unknown author in an unknown language using an unknown alphabet. Based on the results of radiocarbon dating of four samples of the manuscript, University of Arizona chemist and archaeometrist Greg Hodgins determined that the manuscript was created between 1404 and 1438 during the early Renaissance.
This is a channeled work and is therefore intended to be understood only by people visited primarily by those extraterrestrials who channeled the book. They know who they are and they are directed to find this book in libraries. It describes the relationships in all life, the life cycle and what can be called the sweeping arms of the Sun, which cause all the planets to move around the Sun in the same direction.
Alien Skeleton
Cusco, Peru: Mummy of Andahualil Man found. The discovery of a mummy without any human characteristics is announced. The body is 50 cm high, the head is triangular, the eye cavities are too large, there is an open fontanelle, which characterizes only children under 1 year of age, and there are molars that show a huge gap not usually found in humans. Spanish and Russian doctors arrived and we confirmed that it was indeed an extraterrestrial being. The front of the skull is divided, which is not common to any ethnic group in the world, as is the triangular interparietal bone, also found only in the Andes, Peru.
This is a true alien skull and skeleton. The differences with human skulls are not only the elongated shape of the skull, but also the broken off center of the forehead, which does not exist in human skulls. The size of the canines is also disproportionately large compared to the space allocated for all other teeth. Considering the height is over 4 feet, this is not the deformed skeleton of a child, and the deformities are not consistent with those typically found in humans. There's a reason there are stories inspired by legends like Indiana Jones and the Crystal Skull. These were humanoid newcomers to South and Central America who were revered and therefore carefully buried if a body was inadvertently left behind after their departure.
New artifacts from Mexico
The Mexican government has declassified ancient documents proving the existence of aliens once and for all, in what will soon become the Holy Grail of extraterrestrial exploration. The order for cooperation came directly from the country's president, Alvaro Colom Caballeros. "Mexico will publish codices, artifacts and important documents with evidence of extraterrestrial Mayan contact; all this information will be confirmed by archaeologists."
The main piece of evidence that truly reveals the issue is the chamber being opened to the public for the first time by the Mexican government. It does point to the space travel of the Anunnaki, their evacuation as a result of the quarantine imposed by the Council of Worlds. Collaborating with the US government in their long cover-up regarding the alien presence, the Mexican government kept it sealed for many years. Of course, this is not the only archaeological evidence of this kind.
Since the time of Darwin, science has more or less managed to fit into a logical framework and explain most of the evolutionary processes that took place. Archaeologists, biologists, and many other ...ologists agree and are confident that already 400 - 250 thousand years ago the rudiments of the current society flourished on our planet. But archeology, you know, is such an unpredictable science, no, no, and it keeps throwing up new finds that do not fit into the generally accepted model neatly put together by scientists. We present to you the 15 most mysterious artifacts that made the scientific world think about the correctness of existing theories.
1. 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 found in two types: some are made of bluish metal, monolithic, interspersed with white matter, others, on the contrary, are hollow, and the cavity is filled with white spongy material. The exact number of spheres is unknown to anyone, since miners with help still continue to extract them from the rock near the city of Klerksdorp, located in South Africa.
2 . Stones Drop.
In the Bayan-Kara-Ula mountains, 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, resemble gramophone records. These are stone discs with a hole in the middle and a spiral engraving applied to the surface. Some scientists are inclined to believe that the disks serve as carriers of information about extraterrestrial civilization.
In 1901, the Aegean Sea revealed to scientists the secret of a sunken Roman ship. Among other surviving antiquities, a mysterious mechanical artifact was found that was made about 2000 years ago. Scientists managed to recreate a 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 skill of the miniature parts from which the amazing device was assembled is not inferior to the skill of watchmakers of the 18th century.
4. Ica stones.
Discovered in the Peruvian province of Ica by 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 learned anthropologists, they were already flourishing and engaged in creativity at the time when these giants roamed the earth?
In 1936, a strange-looking vessel sealed with a concrete stopper was discovered in Baghdad. 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 the electrolyte available at that time, it was possible to obtain electricity of 1 V. Now you 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.
6. The oldest “spark plug”.
In the Coso Mountains in California, an expedition that was looking for new minerals found a strange artifact, its appearance and properties strongly resemble a “spark plug.” Despite its dilapidation, one can confidently distinguish a ceramic cylinder, inside of which there is a magnetized two-millimeter metal 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!
The three hundred stone balls scattered along the coast of Costa Rica vary in age (from 200 BC to 1500 AD) and in size. However, scientists are still not clear exactly how ancient people made them and for what purposes.
8. Planes, tanks and submarines of Ancient Egypt.
There is no doubt that the Egyptians built it, 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 if it was given an initial speed, it could easily fly. The fact that in the era of the New Kingdom the Egyptians were aware of such technical inventions as an airship, a helicopter and a submarine is told on the ceiling of a temple located near Cairo.
9. Human palm print, 110 million years old.
And this is not at all an age for humanity, if you take and add here such a mysterious artifact as a fossilized finger from the Arctic part of Canada, belonging to a person and having the same age. And a footprint found in Utah, and not just a foot, but one shod in a sandal, is 300 - 600 million years old! You wonder, so when did humanity begin?
10. 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 obtained from 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 discovered in a block of sandstone in one of the Scottish quarries. His cap was so “grown” into the stone that it was impossible 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 within 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 London, in the state of Texas, during the splitting of sandstone of the Ordovician period (Paleozoic, 500 million years ago), an iron hammer with the remains of a wooden handle was discovered. If we discard man, who did not exist at that time, it turns out that trilobites and dinosaurs smelted iron and used it for economic purposes. If we put aside the stupid mollusks, then we need to somehow explain finds, for example, such as this one: in 1968, the Frenchmen Druet and Salfati discovered in the quarries of Saint-Jean-de-Livet, in France, oval-shaped metal pipes, the age of which, if dated from the Cretaceous strata, it is 65 million years old - the era of the last reptiles.
Or this: in the middle of the 19th century, blasting work was carried out in Massachusetts, and among the fragments of stone blocks a metal vessel was discovered, which was torn in half by a blast 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 strange vase was kept belonged to the beginning of the Paleozoic (Cambrian), when life was barely emerging on earth - 600 million years ago.
It cannot be said that the scientists completely took water into their mouths: I had to read that a nail and a hammer could fall into the gap and be filled with soil waters, with the formation of dense rock around them over time. Even if the vase fell through with the hammer, there was no way the pipes in French quarries could have reached the depths by accident.
11. Iron mug in coal
It is not known what a scientist would say if in a lump of coal, instead of the imprint of an ancient plant, he found... an iron mug. Would a coal seam be dated by a man from the Iron Age, or still to the Carboniferous period, when there weren't even dinosaurs? And such an object was found, and until recently that mug was kept in one of the private museums of America, in Southern 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 learned men. However, there was a photograph left.
The mug contained the following document, signed by Frank Kenwood: “In 1912, while I was working at the municipal power plant in Thomas, Oklahoma, I came across a massive lump of coal. It was too big and I had to break it with a hammer. This iron mug fell out of the block, leaving behind a hole in the coal. An employee of the company named Jim Stoll witnessed how I broke the block and how the mug fell out of it. I was able to find out the origin of the coal - it was mined in the Wilburton mines in Oklahoma." According to scientists, the coal mined in Oklahoma mines dates back 312 million years, unless, of course, dated by circle. Or did man live together with trilobites - these shrimps of the past?
12. Leg on a trilobite
Fossilized trilobite. 300 million years ago.
Although there is a find that speaks exactly about this - a trilobite crushed by a shoe! The fossil was discovered by a passionate shellfish lover, William Meister, who was exploring the area around Antelope Spring, Utah, in 1968. He split a piece of shale and saw the following picture (in the photo - a split stone).
The imprint of the shoe of the right foot is visible, under which were two small trilobites. Scientists explain this as a play of nature, and are ready to believe in a find only if there is a whole chain of similar traces. Meister is not a specialist, but a draftsman who searches for antiquities in his free time, but his reasoning is sound: the imprint of the shoe was found not on the surface of hardened clay, but after splitting a piece: the chip fell along the imprint, along the boundary of the compaction caused by the pressure of the shoe. However, they don’t 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.
13.The sole of the shoe is on an ancient stone
In 1922, American geologist John Reid conducted a search in Nevada. Unexpectedly, he discovered a clear imprint of a shoe sole on the stone. A photograph of this wonderful find has still been preserved.
Also in 1922, an article written 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 confusion and surprise at the rock under his feet. There was what looked like a human print, but not a bare foot, but the sole of a shoe that had turned to stone. The forefoot has disappeared, but retains the contour of at least two-thirds of the sole. There was a clearly visible thread around the outline, which, as it turned out, attached a welt to the sole. This is how a 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 clear: the rock is 200 million years old - Mesozoic, Triassic period. However, the imprint itself was recognized by both these and all other scientific heads... as a play of nature. Otherwise, we would have to admit that people wearing shoes sewn with thread lived alongside dinosaurs.
In 1993, Philip Reef became the owner of another amazing find. While digging a tunnel 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, then they maintain 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 return to their original color. Undoubtedly, the cylinders contain other secrets that have yet to be discovered. According to radiocarbon dating, the age of these artifacts is approximately 25 million years.
According to the most commonly accepted story, 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 item at Sotheby's in London in 1943. Whatever the reality, 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 to be 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 Doom is in some ways technically impossible. Weighing almost 5 kg, and being a perfect copy of a woman's skull, it has a completeness that would have been impossible to achieve 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 separate hinged part from the rest of the skull. It has long attracted (and will likely continue to do so to a somewhat lesser extent) experts from a variety of disciplines.
It is also worth mentioning the relentless attribution of supernatural abilities to him by a group of esotericists, such as telekinesis, the emission of an unusual aroma, and 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 was able to be carved without hard cutting materials such as ruby and diamond.
Studies of the skull carried out 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 Mayans have deliberately designed this type of work to be completed 3 centuries later? The only thing we can say with certainty is that the Skull of Fate is not the only one of its kind.
Several such objects have been found in various places on the planet, and they are created from other materials, similar to quartz. These include a complete jadeite skeleton discovered in the China/Mongolian region, made on a smaller scale than human scale, estimated to be approx. in 3500-2200 BC.
There are doubts about the authenticity of many of these artifacts, but one thing is certain: crystal skulls continue to delight intrepid scientists.
17. Lycurgus Cup
A Roman cup made about 1,600 years ago may be an example of nanotechnology, experts say. The mysterious Lycurgus Cup, made of dichroic glass, is able to change color from green to red, depending on the light.
The bowl, which is on display at the British Museum in London, was created using what is now called nanotechnology - the controlled manipulation of materials at the atomic and molecular level. These technologies, according to scientists, can be used in various fields - from diagnosing diseases to detecting bombs at airports.
Scientists managed to unravel the mystery of the changing color of the bowl only in 1990, after many years of fruitless attempts. After studying the shards of glass under a microscope, scientists discovered that the Romans had infused it with particles of silver and gold, which they crushed into extremely tiny particles - about 50 nanometers in diameter - a thousand times smaller than a crystal of salt.
The precise ratio of metals and such careful grinding led experts to conclude that the Romans were pioneers of nanotechnology because they actually knew what they were doing.
Archaeologist Ian Freestone of University College London, who examined the cup and its unusual optical properties, calls the creation of the cup an "amazing feat." The cup changes color depending on which side the observer is looking at it from.
The bowl was apparently used for drinking on exceptional occasions, and experts believe its color changed depending on the drink it was filled with.
Liu Gang Logan, an engineer and nanotechnology expert at the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign, said: "The Romans knew how to make and use nanoparticles to create works of art."
Of course, scientists could not examine a one-of-a-kind goblet and fill it with various liquids. Therefore, they were forced to recreate the Lycurgus Cup, applying microscopic particles of gold and silver to the glass. After this, the researchers experimented with different liquids to find out how its color would change. Scientists have found that a new cup filled with water glows blue, and when filled with oil it glows bright red.
The world is full of strange and mysterious artifacts. Some are almost certainly hoaxes, while others have real stories behind them. Our review contains 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, it was found manuscript, which lists all the kings of this state. Researchers initially thought that this was an ordinary historical document, but then it was discovered that many of the kings were mythological characters. Some rulers who should have been included in the list were not included. Others had 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 "The Devil's Bible")
The most famous ancient manuscript is the Codex Gigas, better known as " Devil's Bible". Only 2 people can lift this book, made of 160 skins. Legend has it that the Codex Gigas was written by a monk who, after being sentenced to death, according to which the monk had to be walled up alive in a wall, made a deal with the devil. With the help The devil's monk wrote the book in one night (and the devil painted a self-portrait). Oddly enough, the handwriting in the book is surprisingly clear and uniform, as if it was actually written over a short period of time. However, scientists believe that such a work would take from 5 years (if written without interruption) to 30 years.The manuscript contains seemingly incompatible texts: the complete Latin Vulgate Bible, Josephus' Antiquities of the Jews, a collection of medical works by Hippocrates and Theophilus, the Chronicle of Bohemia by Cosmas of Prague, "Etymological Encyclopedia" by Isidore of Seville, exorcism rites, magical formulas and an illustration of the heavenly city.
3. Easter Island writing
Almost everyone knows about the famous Easter Island statues, but there are other artifacts associated with this place, the mystery of which has not been solved until now. 24 wooden carved tablets were found that contain a system of symbols. These symbols are called " rongorongo", and they are considered an ancient proto-writing form. To date, they have never been deciphered.
Typically, archaeologists argue that religion, the building of temples and the development of complex rituals, are by-products of human settlement. This belief was shaken by a discovery on the Urfa Plain in southeastern Turkey. Gobekli Tepe Temple. 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.
In regions that were once under the influence of the Roman Empire, from Wales to the Mediterranean Sea, small strange objects have been 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 of various sizes on each side. Small handles protrude from each corner. 27 theories have been put forward as to what they are, but none none of them could be proven.
Around 6,000 mysterious artefacts have been found in rivers and marshes across Ireland and have become known as the Fulachtai Fia. In the UK, where they are also found, they are called " Burnt mounds". Fulacht fiadh is a horseshoe-shaped mound of soil and stone, in the center of which a trench filled with water is dug. Fulachtai Fia, as a rule, are found singly, but sometimes in groups of 2-6. In this case, 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 covered with vegetation. What they were used for is unknown.
8. Witch bottles, Europe and USA
In 2014, archaeologists excavating the site of an ancient battle in Nottinghamshire made a strange discovery: they found a 15-centimeter " witch bottle"Similar vessels were used in Europe and America for black witchcraft in the 1600s - 1700s. They were usually made of ceramics or glass. In total, about 200 such objects were found, and they often contained the remains of needles, nails, nails , hair and even urine.It is believed that witch bottles were used to protect the owner from evil spells and the harmful influence of witches.
9. Lizard-like figurines of Ubaid, Iraq
Strange things are found in Iraq Ubaid figurines. 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, so they are 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 " Rat King"A rat king is formed when several rats intertwine or grow together with their tails. The result is a kind of “nest” of rats, whose muzzles are directed outward, and in the center there is a knot of tails. The largest of such artifacts contains 32 rats. Today such mummified objects are found, but not a single living anomaly of this kind was discovered.
Scientists sometimes work for decades to solve many global problems of humanity. We have collected - from medicine to space. Perhaps these solutions will become the technologies of the future.
