There are ancient artifacts that testify to the highly developed culture and technological development of ancient people. Some of these finds not only surpassed the complexity of stone tools, but were in geological formations much older than one might imagine.
Information about the found artifacts came from both scientists and people far from science. Some of the artifacts were not transferred to museums, and it is impossible to establish where they may now be located. To create a more complete picture, I will give a few such examples.
In his book Mineralogy, Count Bournon speaks of a mysterious discovery made by French workers in the second half of the 18th century. Workers quarrying limestone in Aix-en-Provence passed through 11 layers of limestone separated by layers of sedimentary rock. In the clayey sand on top of layer 19, “they found fragments of columns and fragments of semi-finished stone - the same one that was mined in a quarry. Coins, hammer handles, other wooden tools or their fragments were found right there.”
Wooden tools turned into fossils. This passage is taken from an article that was published in 1820 in the American Journal of Science and Arts; nowadays, however, you will not find such descriptions in the pages of scientific journals. Scientists simply do not take such findings seriously. The limestone from Aix-en-Provence belonged to the Oligocene era, which means that the age of objects found in limestone is 24-36 million years.
1830 - in a quarry near Norristown (Pennsylvania), 20 km northwest of Philadelphia, a massive marble block with lines resembling letters was found. This marble block was lifted from a depth of 18–20 m. This was reported in 1831 by the same journal American Journal of Science and Arts. The marble in the quarries around Norristown is from the Cambrian-Ordovician period, in other words, it is about 500-600 million years old.
1844 - Sir David Brewster reported the discovery of a nail embedded in a block of sandstone from the quarries of Kingudi (Milnfield, Scotland). Dr. A. Medd of the British Geological Survey wrote to my research assistant in 1985 that this was "Late Lower Red Sandstone" (Devonian, 360 to 408 million years ago). Brewster was a famous Scottish physicist. He founded the British Association for the Advancement of Science and made important discoveries in optics.
1844, June 22 - The Times newspaper (London) published a rather interesting note: “Workers hired to quarry stone near Tweed, which is a quarter of a mile from Rutherford Mill, discovered a few days ago a golden thread that was embedded in a stone block , lying at a depth of eight feet. Dr. A. Medd wrote that this stone belongs to the early Carboniferous period (320-360 million years).
April 1862 - The Geologist published an English translation of a fascinating report by Maximilian Melville, vice-chairman of the Academic Society of Laon (France), describing a ball of chalk found at a depth of 75 m in a Tertiary lignite deposit near from Laon. If the ball was made by a person, then this means that people lived in France 45-55 million years ago.
Melville notes: “Long before the discovery of the find, quarry workers informed me that they had repeatedly come across pieces of petrified wood ... with traces of human impact. Now I really regret that I did not ask them to show me those earlier finds. In my defense, I confess that then I thought they were simply incredible.
1871 - William Dubois of the Smithsonian Institution reported the discovery of several man-made objects at considerable depths in Illinois. One such item was a copper coin found at Lone Ridge, Marshall County. It was found at a depth of 35 m while drilling a well. From a drill log, the Illinois Geological Survey determined the age of the deposits at a depth of 35 m. The deposits were formed during the Yarmouth Interglacial, i.e., "approximately 200-400 thousand years ago."
The found coin suggests that at least 200 thousand years ago in North America there was already a civilization, which is in contradiction with modern ideas that creatures intelligent enough to make coins and use them (Homo sapiens sapiens) could not have appeared earlier than 100,000 years ago. In accordance with generally accepted views, metal coins first came into circulation in Asia Minor in the 8th century BC. e.
1889 - in Nampa, Idaho, an elaborately made small figurine that depicts a person was discovered. The figurine was obtained while drilling a well from a depth of more than 90 m. In response to a request from my research assistant, the US Geological Survey replied that “clay beds at depths of more than 300 feet appear to belong to the Glenn's Ferry Formation, Upper Idaho Group , whose age is usually determined by the Plio-Pleistocene. This means that the age of the find may be 2 million years. This suggests that there were culturally advanced people living in North America at that time.
1891, June 11 - The following article was published in The Morrisonville Times (America, Illinois): “An interesting find was reported to us on Tuesday morning by Mrs. Culp. As she split open a block of coal to put the pieces in a box, she noticed a round-shaped recess, inside which was a small gold chain of fine old work, about 10 inches in length. The coal seam in which the chain was found is estimated to be 260–320 million years old, according to the Illinois Geological Survey. This shows that culturally advanced people already then inhabited North America.
And here is an article entitled "Relic of bygone times" was published in Scientific American (June 5, 1852): "A few days ago in a hilly area, which is a few tens of meters south of guest house The Reverend Mr. Hall, a resident of Dorchester, was blasted. As a result of a powerful explosion, there was a huge ejection of rock. Blocks of stone - some of which weighed several tons - scattered in different directions.
Among the fragments, a metal jug was found, which was torn in half by the explosion. Put together, the halves made up a bell-shaped vessel… The walls of the vessel were decorated with six images of flowers in the form of a bouquet, superbly inlaid with pure silver, and its lower part was girded, also inlaid with silver, by a vine or wreath…
Thrown out by the explosion, the mysterious vessel, embedded in the rock, was at a depth of 15 feet ... This subject deserves the most careful study, because there can be no question of any hoax in this case. According to a recent U.S. Geological Survey map of the Boston-Dorchester area, the local rock, now called the Roxbury clastic rock, is Precambrian, over 600 million years old.
The Daily News of Omaha, Nebraska, in its issue of April 2, 1897, published an article under the heading: “A carved stone buried in a mine” describing an interesting object found near Webster City, Iowa ). The note said: “A miner in the Lehigh mine came across a strange piece of rock today at a depth of 130 feet, which somehow ended up at the bottom of the mine.
It was a block of stone, dark gray, about 2 feet long, 1 foot wide, and 4 inches thick. The surface of the stone, it should be noted very hard, was covered with lines that formed polygons, very reminiscent of perfectly cut diamonds. In the center of each "diamond" was a clear image of the face of an elderly person. The coal seams of the Lehigh mine were formed during the Carboniferous period.
1949, January 10 - Robert Nordling sent Frank L. Marsh, an employee of the University of Andrews, located in the city of Berrin Springs (Michigan), a photograph of an iron mug with a note: “Not so long ago I visited the private museum of one of my friends in the South Missouri. Among the rarities stored there was this iron mug, the photo of which is attached.
Next to the mug on display in the museum was the text of a certificate that was sworn by a certain Frank D. Kenwood in Sulfur Springs, Arkansas, on November 27, 1948. This is what it said: “In 1912, when I was working for at the Thomas, Oklahoma municipal power plant, I found a large lump of coal. It was quite large, and I happened to break it with a hammer. This iron mug fell out of a block, leaving behind a recess in the coal. I witnessed how I broke a block and how I got a mug from it, there 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 Robert O. Fey of the Oklahoma Geological Survey, the coal produced in the Wilburton mines is 312 million years old.
1922, October 8 - in the New York Sunday American magazine, under the heading "Events of the Week in America", a sensational article by Dr. V. Ballu was published under the heading "The Mystery of the Fossilized Shoe Sole".
Ballu wrote: “Some time ago, a prominent mining engineer and geologist, John T. Reid, while exploring for minerals in the state of Nevada, unexpectedly stumbled upon a piece of stone that left him indescribable astonishment. And there was something: on the stone lying at the feet of Reid, the imprint of a human sole was clearly visible! As it turned out on closer examination, it was not just a trace of a bare foot, but, apparently, the sole of a shoe, which time turned into stone. And although the front part of the sole was missing, at least two-thirds of its area was preserved, and along its perimeter there were clearly distinguishable thread stitches, probably fastening the welt to the sole.
The Triassic period, during which the sole was fossilized, ranges from 248 to 213 million years ago.
W. McCormick of Abilene, Texas, has a documented account of his grandfather's account of a concrete wall found deep in a coal mine: north of Heavener, Oklahoma. The shaft was vertical and, we were told, went to a depth of two miles. One evening, Mathis planted an explosive charge in "hall 24" of the mine.
“The next morning,” he recalled, “several cubic concrete blocks with a side of 12 inches were found in the hall, so smooth, literally polished, that the surface of any of the six faces of such a block could be used as a mirror.”
“And when I began to install fasteners in the hall,” continued Mathis, “the rock suddenly collapsed, and I could hardly escape. Returning there after the shedding of the rock, I saw a whole wall of exactly the same polished blocks. Another miner working 100 to 150 yards down came across the same or exactly the same wall.” The coal mined in this mine was of the Carboniferous age, meaning it is at least 286 million years old.
Astronomer M. Jissup described another case of finding a wall inside a coal mine: “It is reported ... in 1868, James Parsons and his two sons found a wall made of shale in a coal mine in Hammonville (Ohio). The huge smooth wall was revealed after the massive block of coal that hid it collapsed. The surface of the wall was covered with several rows of relief hieroglyphic images.
William D. Meister, a draftsman by trade and an amateur trilobite collector, reported in 1968 a shoeed footprint found in a shale bed near Antelope Springs, Utah. The imprint, which looked like a shoeprint, was discovered by Meister by splitting a piece of shale. Inside it, the remains of trilobites, extinct marine arthropods, are clearly visible. The shale with fossilized trilobites and a footprint in a shoe dates from the Cambrian period: its age is from 505 to 590 million years.
In an article in the Creation Research Society Quarterly, Meister described the ancient footprint that resembled a shod footprint: “Where the heel should be, there is a recess, the depth of which exceeds the depth of the rest of the footprint by an eighth of an inch (3 mm). This is definitely the mark of the right foot, because the shoe (or sandal) is very characteristically worn on the right.
1984 - Richard L. Thompson met Meister in Utah. Careful examination of the print did not reveal any obvious reasons for not recognizing the authenticity of the trace of a human foot. Not only did Thompson's visual inspection, but also computer analysis showed that the print found by Meister almost completely coincides with the outlines of modern shoes.
For several decades, South African miners found hundreds of metal balls with one, two or three parallel notches, encircling them, as it were, along the equator. Rulf Marks, curator of the Klerksdorp Museum in South Africa, where several of these balls are stored, said: “These balls are a complete mystery. They look as if they were made by man, but at the time when they were embedded in this breed, no intelligent life on Earth yet existed. I've never seen anything like it."
In the absence of convincing arguments for the natural origin of these finds, we believe that the 2.8 billion year old South African knurled metal balls found in mineral deposits are the product of intelligent beings.
Science has long claimed that humans misrepresent their origins on Earth. As if everything is there: there is a monkey, and an ancient man. But there is no transitional link between them.
But there are other, more interesting facts. Few people know that wheat, which man has been growing since the era of the pyramids, does not have wild varieties in nature. It turns out that someone gave it to people.
And there is evidence for this. For example, the hexoploid wheat that exists today is a complex hybrid that has existed on the planet for about 8,000 years. Someone with his invisible hand crossed three varieties and got this variety, because this could not happen spontaneously. Biologists are convinced that it was absolutely impossible to create species-free selections from complex cereals thousands of years ago.
The most ancient cultivated plant on our planet is considered to be corn. Mexican archaeologists at the excavations discovered corn pollen 50,000 years old. But this plant also does not have a wild-growing ancestor in nature. Furthermore, it cannot grow without human help: a cob that has not been plucked in a timely manner simply falls and rots.
However, scientists argue that primitive man appeared only 40,000 years ago. But who, then, could grow corn long before the advent of Homo sapiens, and artificially changed the genetic code of soybeans and other legumes millions of years ago?
Nowadays, scientists have also learned how to create genetically modified organisms, but even they cannot yet cross two varieties and get viable offspring. Nature has some mystery that has not yet been revealed, and it is possible that its key is hidden in nanotechnology, which should be used in genetic engineering.
But how could anyone know about nanotechnology millennia ago?
It turns out that he could, and proves it, found in the Urals. Archaeologists have discovered tens of thousands of tiny spiral-shaped artifacts on the Naroda River. The largest of them has a three-centimeter size. It was established that these artifacts consist of rather rare metals - tungsten and molybdenum. But the biggest surprise, which was confirmed by the examination, was their age. They were about 300,000 years old!
A logical question arises: who could create these artifacts, if our most distant ancestors in those days did not walk, but ran around the Earth, covered with wool. Moreover, the ratio of the thickness of the spiral to the core is in proportion to the "golden section". To this day, it is not known how these details could get to Earth. However, there is a version that seems most likely: - these are parts of a certain technical device, because in the same place geologists discovered a large number of quartz lenses. Therefore, experts have developed a hypothesis that all the finds are elements of an antenna device. According to their theory, the find had the same properties as the so-called "smart glass" - these are touch screens of tablets and phones, car mirrors and windshields, in which filamentous heating elements are used, which are made of tungsten with the addition of other rare earths to it. metals.
At the same time, quartz glass is generally considered the material of the future. More recently, scientists from the University of Southampton have invented storage media that can store data in five dimensions of nanostructured quartz. A high-frequency laser is required for data recording. And this is not science fiction at all, but reality.
But for what reason only microscopic fragments remained from the ancient device, scientists explain easily: high-tech artifacts in the ground cannot be stored for a long time, they rust. It turns out that millions of years ago there were people on Earth who used computers or smartphones? This is hard to believe, but there is other evidence that the ancients were well aware of high-level metallurgy.
In Delhi, at the Qutub Minar mosque, there is a metal column, which was called the “Pillar of Indra”. For many millennia, it has withstood atmospheric precipitation and does not have a hint of rust. The column is made of atomic iron without any impurities of sulfur or carbon at the molecular level. Nowadays, such perfectly pure iron can be obtained only by sputtering in space conditions, and even then only in small quantities. Presumably, the column was melted in vacuum. Iron with a similar chemical composition was found elsewhere, though not on Earth, but in samples of lunar soil.
In India, another amazing and incomprehensible artifact was discovered - an ancient ritual cast dagger made of alloyed metal, which, by definition, should not exist on Earth. In addition, duralumin was found in the composition of the dagger, which mankind began to receive relatively recently: a little less than half a century ago. The conclusion is clear: this dagger was not made on Earth.
Indian historical documents speak of the existence of a civilization that lived on the planet millions of years ago. She had spaceships - vimanas, weapons similar to nuclear weapons, huge cities and many other factors inherent in highly developed civilizations.
Archaeologists who have access to the most secret artifacts say they have found traces of intelligent life that date back millions of years BC. e. Back in 1862, a sensational article was published in one of the American scientific journals, which stated that human bones were found in a coal seam at a depth of more than 30 meters, while the age of coal is 300 million years. At the same time, it was the skeleton of a creature identical to modern Homo sapiens.
In the vaults of modern archaeologists there are already more than a hundred artifacts for which scientists cannot give an explanation. All of them are several tens of millions of years old. At the same time, experts assure that errors are excluded. But this means that our civilization is not the first on the planet, and, according to some scientists, not even the most developed.
In the early 1970s, while mining uranium ore in the African state of Gabon, it was unexpectedly discovered that the content of fissile uranium-235 in samples was significantly lower than expected. Then the experts began to explore the mine, trying to find out if this uranium had already been used by someone. And it turned out absolutely incredible: this uranium deposit had such outlines that, taking into account the half-life of uranium, lead to the conclusion that almost 2 billion years ago 14 nuclear reactors were located in this place! All this is justified by the exact calculations of physicists.
Surprisingly, some traces of the use of nuclear technology in ancient times are literally underfoot. These are craters whose size is tens and hundreds of meters. Scientists believe that they are traces from the fall of meteorites. But in many of these funnels there are no traces of cosmic matter. But they have tektites - stones melted at a huge temperature. Scientists have not yet formed a consensus about their origin. Tektites are the link between the phenomenon of ancient giant craters and the so-called vitrification - the process when sand and stones are melted, merging into a single glassy mass. What caused this process is unclear, because there are no funnels. Therefore, if we assume that these are not meteorites, it all comes down to a curious version: the same phenomenon, when grains of sand melted and turned into glass, occurred when testing Trinity in New York State, which means that this is the result of a nuclear war.
The ancient ruins of Pumapungo are located in Bolivia. This is one of the most perfect ancient buildings in Latin America: stone blocks 200 tons were carved in an unknown way with jewelry precision, which simply cannot be calculated without computer technology. Moreover, scientists were shocked: in order to put one such block on a vertical wall, you need to “turn off” gravity for a while. It turns out that ancient civilizations were able to "work" with gravity. Perfectly carved megaliths are laid in stone blocks without mortar so that even a razor blade cannot pass between them.
Many scientists and researchers, who have been engaged in unraveling ancient artifacts for quite a long time, are still leaning towards an alien trail. This version is also supported by many legends and myths of the peoples, which tell that the Gods came from the stars. But what were they doing on Earth?
From the analysis of archaeological finds, the conclusion suggests itself that millions of years ago, aliens mined minerals on Earth, conducted genetic experiments, wars and large-scale construction. Or they just once had a “roadside picnic” that lasted several millennia.
Mankind wants to find brothers in mind, trying to penetrate further and further into space, although, it may well be, the truth lies somewhere nearby.
culture
Some researchers are sure that extraterrestrial forms of intelligent life has visited our planet in the past. However, such statements are not scientifically confirmed facts and remain only assumptions and hypotheses.
UFO almost always has quite reasonable explanation. But what to do with artifacts, ancient strange objects that are found here and there? Today we will talk about ancient objects, the origin of which remains a mystery. Perhaps these things are proof of the existence of aliens?
The mechanism of extraterrestrial origin
Cogwheel of aliens from Vladivostok
At the beginning of this year, a resident of Vladivostok discovered a strange piece of equipment. This object resembled a part of a cogwheel and was pressed into a piece of coal with which the man was going to heat the stove.
Although unwanted parts of old equipment can be found almost everywhere, this thing seemed very strange, so the man decided to take it to scientists. After a careful study of the subject, it turned out that the object is made of almost pure aluminum and indeed has an artificial origin.
But the most interesting thing is that he 300 million years! The dating of the object fueled interest, since such pure aluminum and such a shape of the object clearly could not have appeared in nature without the intervention of intelligent life. Moreover, it is known that mankind has learned to make such details not earlier than 1825.
The artifact is incredibly reminiscent of parts of a microscope and other fine technical devices. Immediately there were suggestions that the item is part of an alien ship.
ancient statue
Stone head from Guatemala
In the 1930s researchers have discovered a huge sandstone statue somewhere in the middle of the jungles of Guatemala. The facial features of the statue were completely different from the features of the appearance of the ancient Maya or other peoples who lived in these territories.
Researchers believe that the facial features of the statue depicted representative of the ancient alien civilization , which was much more advanced than locals before the arrival of the Spaniards. Some have also suggested that the head of the statue also had a torso (although this has not been confirmed).
It is possible that later peoples could also sculpt the statue, but unfortunately, we will never know about it. The revolutionary Guatemalans used the statue as a target and almost completely destroyed it.
Ancient artifact or fake?
alien electric plug
In 1998 a hacker John J. Williams noticed a strange stone object in the ground. He dug it up and cleaned it, after which he found that it was attached to obscure electrical component. It was obvious that this device was created by human hand, and it was most similar to an electric plug.
The stone has since become well known in alien hunter circles and has been featured in some of the world's most famous publications. paranormal activity. Williams, an electrical engineer by profession, reported that an electrical component that was pressed into a granite stone has not been glued or welded to it.
Many believe that this artifact is just a skillful forgery, but Williams refused to give the item for a more detailed study. He intended to sell it for 500 thousand dollars.
The stone was similar to ordinary stones that lizards use to keep warm. The first geological analysis showed that the stone about 100 thousand years, which allegedly proves that the item inside it was not man-made.
In the end, Williams agreed to cooperate with scientists, but only if they will fulfill his three conditions: he will be present at all tests, will not pay for research and the stone will not be damaged.
Artifacts of ancient civilizations
ancient aircraft
The Incas and other peoples of the Americas of the pre-Columbian era left behind a lot of very curious mysterious things. Some of them have been called "ancient planes" - these are small gold figurines that are very reminiscent of modern aircraft.
Initially it was assumed that these were figurines of animals or insects, but later it turned out that they have strange details, which are more like parts of fighter planes: wings, tail stabilizer and even landing gear.
It has been suggested that these models are replicas of real aircraft. That is, the Inca civilization could communicate with extraterrestrial beings that could fly to Earth on such devices.
The version that these figurines are just artistic image bees, flying fish, or other terrestrial creatures with wings.
lizard people
Al-Ubayd- an archaeological site in Iraq - a real gold mine for archaeologists and historians. A large number of objects have been found here. El Obeid culture, which existed in southern Mesopotamia between 5900 and 4000 BC.
Some of the artifacts found are especially strange. For example, some figurines depict humanoid figures in simple poses with lizard-like heads, which may indicate that these are not statues of gods, but images of some new race of lizard people.
There were suggestions that these figurines - images of aliens, which at that time flew to Earth. The true nature of the figurines remains a mystery.
Life in a meteorite
Researchers who studied the remains of a meteorite found on the island of Sri Lanka found that the subject of their research is not just a piece of stone that came from space. It was an artifact, literally. created outside the earth. Two different studies have shown that this meteorite contains extraterrestrial fossils and algae.
Scientists reported that these fossils provide clear evidence panspermia(hypotheses that life exists in the universe and is transferred from one planet to another with the help of meteorites and other space objects). However, these assumptions have been criticized.
The fossils in the meteorite are actually very similar to the species that can be found in Earth's fresh waters. It may very well be that the object was simply infected while it was on our planet.
Tapestry "Summer holiday"
Tapestry called "Summer Holiday" was established in Bruges (the capital of the province West Flanders in Belgium) in 1538. Today it can be seen in bavarian national museum.
This tapestry is famous for depicting very UFO-like objects that hovered in the sky. There are suggestions that they were placed on a tapestry, which depicts the ascension of the victor to the throne, in order to associate a UFO with a monarch. UFO in this case serves as a symbol of divine intervention. This, of course, raised more questions. For example, why did medieval Belgians associate flying saucers with deities?
Trinity with Satellite
Italian artist Ventura Salimbeni is the author of one of the most mysterious altarpieces in history. "Disputa of the Eucharist" ("Glorification of the Holy Communion")- a picture of the 16th century, which consists of several parts.
The lower part of the picture does not differ in something strange: it depicts saints and an altar. However, the upper part depicts Holy Trinity (Father, Son and dove - Holy Spirit), which look down and hold on to a strange object that looks like a space satellite.
This object has perfectly round shape with a metallic sheen, telescopic antennas and a strange glow. Surprisingly, it incredibly resembles the first artificial satellite of the Earth. "Sputnik-1" launched into orbit in 1957.
Although the alien hunters are sure that this picture is evidence that the artist saw a UFO, or traveled through time, the experts very quickly found an explanation.
This object is actually Sphaera Mundi, a representation of the universe. In religious art, such a symbol has been used more than once. Strange lights on the ball - Sun and moon, and the antennas are scepters, that is, symbols of the authority of the Father and the Son.
Mayan artifacts
Ancient images of UFO
In 2012, the Mexican government released several ancient Maya artifacts that it had been hiding from the public. last 80 years. These objects were found in a pyramid that was found under another pyramid in the area Calakmul- the most powerful city of the ancient Maya.
These artifacts are notable for the fact that depict flying saucers, which can serve as evidence that the Mayans saw UFOs at one time. However, the authenticity of these artifacts is highly questionable in the scientific world, and even more so the pictures that appeared on the net. Most likely, these artifacts were created local artisans to cause a sensation fueling reports of the end of the world at the end of 2012.
Mysterious Artifact
Alien Sphere Betzev
This mysterious story happened mid 1970s. When the Betz family was investigating the damage from a fire that destroyed a large amount of forest on their property, they discovered an amazing find: a silver ball about 20 centimeters in diameter, completely smooth with a strange elongated triangular symbol.
At first, the Betzes thought it was some kind of NASA space object or a Soviet spy satellite, but eventually decided that it was just a souvenir and kept it for themselves.
Two weeks later, Betzev's son decided to play the guitar in the room where the ball was located. Suddenly an object began to respond to the melody, producing a strange pulsing sound, causing anxiety in the Betz dog.
Further, the family discovered even more strange properties of the object. If he was rolled on the floor, the ball could stop and abruptly change direction, while returning to the person who abandoned it. It seemed that he draws energy from the sun's rays, as on sunny days the ball became more active.
Newspapers began to write about the ball, scientists became interested in it, although the Betzes did not particularly want to part with the find. Soon the house began to happen mysterious phenomena: the ball began to behave like a poltergeist. Doors began to open at night, organ music began to sound in the house.
After that, the family was seriously worried and decided to find out what this ball is. What was their surprise when it turned out that this mysterious object was just plain stainless steel ball.
Although there are many theories about where this strange ball and why he behaves this way, one of them turned out to be the most plausible.
Three years before the Betzes found the ball, an artist named James Derling-Jones I drove through these places in a car, on the roof of which I was carrying several stainless steel balls, which I was going to use in a future sculpture. On the way, one of the balls fell out and rolled into the forest.
According to the description, these balls were the same as the Betz ball: they could balance and roll in different directions as soon as they are slightly touched. The Betzes' house had uneven floors, so the ball didn't roll in a straight line. These balls could also make sounds due to the metal shavings that got inside during the production of the ball.

The architectural artifacts that have survived to our time give reason to believe that many millennia ago, developed civilizations existed on our planet, which were forgotten. In our review, there are 10 archaeological finds, the secrets of which so far remain undisclosed.
1 Ancient Devices
Lens of Nimrud from the capital of Assyria.
Ancient civilizations knew much more and were more advanced than scientists thought even 20 years ago. Archaeologists have discovered a number of ancient devices - from planispheres to prototypes of batteries. The most famous finds are the Nimrud lens and the Antikythera mechanism.
The Nimrud Lens, estimated to be around 3,000 years old, was discovered during excavations at the ancient Assyrian capital of Nimrud. Some experts believe that the lens was part of an ancient Babylonian telescope. And this means that they had advanced knowledge in astronomy.
The famous Antikythera Mechanism (200 BC) was created to calculate the motion of the sun, moon and planets. Unfortunately, people can only guess why and how many ancient devices were created, and why the ancient knowledge about them disappeared.
2. Rama Empire
Evidence of the existence of the ancient Indian empire of Rama.
For a long time it was believed that Indian civilization did not arise until 500 BC. However, discoveries made in the last century pushed back the origin of Indian civilization by several thousand years.
In the Indus Valley, the cities of Harappa and Mohenjo-Daro were discovered, which were perfectly planned even by modern standards. The Harappan culture also remains a mystery. Its roots are hidden for centuries, and the language has not yet been unraveled by scientists. There are no buildings in the city that would testify to various social classes, there are no temples or other places of worship. No other culture, including Egypt and Mesopotamia, had this level of city planning.
3. Longue Caves
Longyu Caves in China, built around the 2nd century BC
Longue - the Chinese call another wonder of the world. A system of 24 caves was discovered by accident in 1992. The time of the appearance of the caves dates back to the 2nd century BC. Despite its titanic volume (to carve such caves into hard rock, about a million cubic meters of stone would have to be removed), no evidence of construction has been found. The carvings covering the walls and ceilings of the caves are made in a special manner and are full of symbols. According to officially unconfirmed information, seven discovered grottoes repeat the location of the seven stars of the constellation Ursa Major.
4. Nan Madol
Nan Madol.
On an artificial archipelago in Micronesia near the island of Pohnpei are the ruins of the ancient prehistoric city of Nan Madol. The city was built on coral reef from basalt blocks, the weight of which reaches 50 tons. The city is crossed by many canals and underwater tunnels. Some of its streets are flooded. The scale of this structure can be compared with the Great Chinese wall or Egyptian pyramids. At the same time, there is not a single record of who built the city and when it was built.
5 Stone Age Tunnels
Tunnels of the Stone Age.
From Scotland to Turkey, beneath hundreds of Neolithic settlements, archaeologists have found evidence of an extensive network of underground tunnels. In Bavaria, some tunnels are up to 700 meters long. The fact that these tunnels have survived for 12,000 years is a testament to the extraordinary skill of the builders and the enormous size of their original network.
6. Puma Punku and Tiwanaku
Megalithic ruins of Puma Punku and Tiwanaku.
Puma Punku is a megalithic complex near the ancient pre-Inca city of Tiwanaku in South America. The age of the megalithic ruins is extremely controversial, but archaeologists are unanimous that they are older than the pyramids. The ruins are believed to be 15,000 years old. The massive stones used in the construction are cut and fitted to each other so precisely that there is no doubt that the builders clearly had an advanced knowledge of stone cutting, geometry, and they had the tools to do this. The city also had a functioning irrigation system, sewers, and hydraulic machinery.
7. Metal mount
Metal mount.
Continuing the conversation about Puma Punku; it is worth noting that at this construction site, as well as in the Korikancha temple, the ancient city of Ollantaytambo, Yurok Rumi and in ancient egypt a special metal fastener was used to fasten huge stones. Archaeologists have discovered that the metal was poured into grooves cut into the stones, which means that the builders had portable factories. It is not clear why this technology and other methods of building megaliths were lost.
8. Mystery of Baalbek
Baalbek in modern Lebanon.
As a result of archaeological excavations in Baalbek (Lebanon), some of the best preserved Roman ruins in the world have been found. The megalithic mound on which the Romans built their temples makes this place especially mysterious. The stone monoliths of this barrow weigh up to 1,200 tons each and are the largest processed stone slabs in the world. Some archaeologists believe that the history of Baalbek is about 9,000 years old.
9. Giza Plateau
The Giza Plateau is a mysterious and iconic place.
The Great Pyramid in Egypt is ideal in terms of geometry. How the ancient Egyptians achieved this is unknown. It is also interesting that the erosion of the Sphinx, as scientists have proven, occurred due to precipitation, and the desert of this area became only 7,000 - 9,000 years ago. The Pyramid of Menkaure also belongs to the pre-dynastic period. It was also built from limestone blocks and has exactly the same traces of erosion as the Sphinx.
10. Göbekli Tepe
Temple complex Göbekli Tepe.
Dating from the end of the last ice age (12,000 years ago), a temple complex in southeastern Turkey has been called the most important archaeological discovery of modern times. Ancient ceramics, writing, the already existing wheel and metallurgy - its construction implies a level of development far beyond the development of Paleolithic civilizations. Göbekli Tepe consists of 20 circular structures (only 4 have been excavated so far) and elaborately carved columns up to 5.5 meters high and weighing up to 15 tons each. No one can say with certainty who created this complex and how its creators got their advanced knowledge of masonry.
Mysterious artifacts of ancient civilizations are located in the Nazca desert, represented by huge drawings. Amazing geoglyphs appeared in 200 BC, covering vast areas off the coast of Peru. Engraved on sandy ground, they illustrate animals and geometric figures.
Images also represented by lines are very similar to landing strips. The Nazca people, who created wonderful drawings, left no record of the purpose of large-scale images. Perhaps because of their prehistoric age, they had not yet discovered the benefits of a written language, or something else was holding them back.
Not advanced enough for a written language, they nevertheless left a great mystery to future civilizations. We still wonder how such complex projects were realized at that time.
Some theorists believe that the Nazca lines represent constellations and correlate with the positions of the stars. It is also speculated that the geoglyphs must have been viewed from the heavens, and some of the lines form runways for alien visitors to Earth.Another thing also amazes us, if the "artists" themselves did not have the opportunity to view images from the sky, then how did the Nazca peoples create absolutely symmetrical images? In the absence of records from that time, we have no acceptable explanation other than the involvement of extraterrestrial technology.
GIANT FINGER OF EGYPT.
An artifact 35 centimeters long, according to legend, was discovered in the 1960s in Egypt. The researcher of the unknown Gregor Sporri, having met the owner of the artifact in 1988, paid $ 300 to photograph the finger and take an x-ray. There is even an X-ray image of the finger, as well as a seal of authenticity.
Original photo taken in 1988
However, not a single scientist studied the finger, but the person who owned the artifact, leaving no opportunity to hear the details. This may contribute to the fact that the giant's finger is a hoax, or testify to the civilization of the giants who lived on the earth before us.
STONE DISKS OF THE DROPA TRIBE.
As reported in the history of the artifact, Cho Pu Tei, a professor of archeology (is a real archaeologist) in Beijing, was on an expedition with students to explore caves deep in the Himalaya mountains. Situated between Tibet and China, a series of caves were clearly man-made as they consisted of tunnel systems and rooms.
There were small skeletons in the cells of the rooms, speaking of a dwarf culture. Professor Tey suggested that they are an undocumented species of mountain gorilla. True, the ritual burial was very embarrassing.
Hundreds of disks with a diameter of 30.5 centimeters with ideal holes in the center were also found here. The researchers, having studied the paintings on the walls of the cave, came to the conclusion that the age is 12,000 years. Discs with a mysterious purpose date back to the same age.
Sent to Peking University, the discs of the Dropa tribe (as they are called) have been studied for 20 years. Many researchers and scientists tried to decipher the letters engraved on the discs, which were not successful.Professor Tsum Um Nui from Beijing examined the disks in 1958 and came to the conclusion about an unknown language that had not previously appeared anywhere. The engraving itself was done to such a skillful level that it required a magnifying glass to read. All the results of decryption went to the area of extraterrestrial origin of artifacts.
Tribal Legend: Ancient drops descended from the clouds. Our ancestors, women and children hid in caves ten times before sunrise. When the fathers finally understood the sign language, they found out that those who came had peaceful intentions.
ARTIFACT, 500,000 YEARS SPARK PLUG.
In 1961, a very strange artifact was discovered in the mountains of Coso, California. Looking for additions to their exhibition, the owners of a small store precious stones Went to pick up a few. However, they were lucky to find not just a valuable stone or a rare fossil, but a real mechanical artifact of ancient times.
The mysterious mechanical device looked like a modern car spark plug. Analysis and x-ray examination revealed a porcelain filling containing copper rings, a steel spring and a magnetic rod with inside. Complementing the mystery is an unidentifiable powdery white substance inside.
After conducting research on the artifact and marine fossils covering the surface, it turned out: the artifact "petrified" about 500,000 years ago.However, scientists were in no hurry to analyze the artifact. They were probably afraid of accidentally disproving generally accepted theories by saying that we are not the first technologically advanced civilization. Or the planet really was popular place from aliens, often repaired on Earth.
THE ANTIKYTERA MECHANISM.
In the past century, divers have been cleaning up ancient Greek treasures at the site of the wreck of the Antikythera ship dating back to 100 BC. Among the artifacts, they found 3 pieces of a mysterious device. The device had bronze triangular prongs and is thought to have been used to track the complex movements of the moon and other planets.
The mechanism used a differential gear consisting of over 30 gears of various sizes with triangular teeth, which were always counted down to prime numbers. It is believed that if all teeth are proven to be prime numbers, then they can clear up the astronomical mysteries of the ancient Greeks.
The antikythera mechanism had a knob that allowed the user to enter past and future dates and then calculate the position of the sun and moon. The use of differential gears made it possible to calculate angular velocities and calculate lunar cycles.
No other artifacts discovered since this time are advanced. Instead of using a geocentric representation, the mechanism was built on heliocentric principles, which were not common at the time. It seems that the ancient Greeks managed to independently build the world's first analog computer.Alexander Jones, a historian, deciphered some of the inscriptions and said that the device used colored balls to represent the Sun, Mars and the Moon. Well, from the inscriptions, we found out where the device was created, but no one said how it was made. Is it possible that the Greeks knew more about the solar system and technology than we previously thought?
PLANES OF ANCIENT CIVILIZATIONS.
Egypt is not unique place for theories about ancient aliens and high technology. Small gold items dating back to 500 AD have been found in Central and South America. era.
More precisely, dating is a kind of challenge, since the items are entirely made of gold, so the date was estimated by stratigraphy. This may fool some people into thinking it was a hoax, but the artifacts are at least 1,000 years old.
Artifacts are interesting for their amazing similarity to ordinary planes for us. Archaeologists have designated the finds as zoomorphic, for their resemblance to animals. However, comparing them with birds and fish (having similar characteristics from the point of view of animals) seems to be pulled to the right conclusion. In any case, such a comparison is highly questionable.
Why do they look so much like airplanes? They have wings, stabilizing elements and landing mechanisms that have encouraged researchers to recreate one of the ancient figures.
Crafted to scale yet accurate in proportion, this ancient artifact appears very similar to a modern fighter jet. After the re-creation, it was documented that the plane, although not very aerodynamically good, flew wonderfully.
