Secrets of Russian civilization. found artifacts of an ancient state in the far east

03.03.2021

Science has long argued that humans misrepresent their origins on Earth. As if everything is there: there is a monkey, and an ancient man. But only there is no transitional link between them.

But there are still 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 of 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 completely impossible to create species-free breeding from complex cereals thousands of years ago.

The most ancient cultivated plant on our planet is considered to be corn. Mexican archaeologists excavated 50,000 years of maize pollen. But this plant also does not have a wild-growing ancestor in nature. Moreover, it cannot grow without human help: an ear that is not torn off in a timely manner simply falls and rots.

However, scientists say that primitive man appeared only 40,000 years ago. But who, then, could grow corn long before Homo sapiens appeared, and the genetic code of soybeans and other legumes artificially changed millions of years ago?

Nowadays, scientists have also learned to create genetically modified organisms, but even they cannot yet cross two varieties and get viable offspring. Nature has a secret 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 who could have known about nanotechnology thousands of years ago?

It turns out that he could, and the found in the Urals proves it. On the Naroda River, archaeologists have discovered tens of thousands of tiny spiral-shaped artifacts. The largest of them is three centimeters in size. Found that these artifacts are composed of fairly 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 did not walk at that time, but ran on the Earth, covered with wool. Moreover, the ratio of the thickness of the coil to the core is in the proportion of the "golden section". To this day, it is not known how these parts 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 have discovered a large number of quartz lenses. Therefore, experts have developed a hypothesis that all 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, auto mirrors and windshields, in which filamentary heating elements are used, which are made of tungsten with the addition of other rare earth 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 to record data. And this is not science fiction at all, but reality.

But for what reason only microscopic fragments remained from the ancient device, scientists easily explain: 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? It's hard to believe, but there is other evidence that the ancients knew high-level metallurgy very well.

In Delhi, near the Qutb Minar mosque, there is a metal column, which was called the "pillar of Indra". For many millennia, it resisted atmospheric precipitation, and does not have a hint of rust. The column is made of atomic iron without any sulfur or carbon impurities at the molecular level. Nowadays, such ideally pure iron can be obtained only by sputtering in space conditions, and even then only in small quantities. Presumably, the column was melted under vacuum. Iron with a similar chemical composition was found elsewhere, though not on Earth, but in lunar soil samples.

Another amazing and incomprehensible artifact was discovered in India - an ancient ritual caste dagger made of alloyed metal, which, by definition, should not exist on Earth. In addition, duralumin was found in the dagger, which mankind began to receive relatively recently: a little less than half a century ago. The conclusion is unambiguous: 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 with access to the most secret artifacts say they have discovered traces of intelligent life that date back to millions of years BC. NS. Back in 1862, a sensational article was published in one of the American scientific journals, which said 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. Moreover, it was the skeleton of a creature identical to modern homo sapiens.

In the storage rooms of modern archaeologists, there are already more than a hundred artifacts that scientists cannot explain. All of them are several tens of millions of years old. At the same time, experts assure that mistakes are excluded. But this means that our civilization is not the first on the planet, and, according to some scientists, it is not even the most developed.

In the early 1970s, during the mining of uranium ore in the African state of Gabon, it was unexpectedly discovered that the content of fissile uranium-235 in the samples was significantly lower than expected. Then experts began to investigate the mine, trying to find out if this uranium had already been used by someone. And an absolutely incredible thing was discovered: 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 there were 14 nuclear reactors 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 lie literally underfoot. These are craters, the size of which is tens and hundreds of meters. Scientists believe they are traces of meteorite impacts. But in many of these craters, there are no traces of cosmic matter. But they contain tektites - stones melted at a tremendous 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 melt, 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, happened when testing Trinity in New York state, which means that this is the result of a nuclear war.

Bolivia is home to the ancient ruins of Pumapungo. This is one of the most perfect ancient buildings in Latin America: stone blocks of 200 tons are 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 with a vertical wall, you need to "turn off" gravity for some time. It turns out that ancient civilizations were able to "work" with gravity. Perfectly carved megaliths are laid in stone blocks without mortar so that not even a razor blade will pass between them.

Many scientists and researchers, who have been solving ancient artifacts for quite a long time, are still inclined towards an alien trail. This version is also supported by many legends and myths of 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 just once they had a "roadside picnic" lasting several millennia.

Humanity wants to find brothers in mind, trying to penetrate further and further into space, although, quite possibly, the truth lies somewhere nearby.

Over the past hundred years, many artifacts have been discovered that cause at least bewilderment. In other words, these are those objects that, by their existence, do not fit into any of the accepted general theories of the origin of human life on Earth and the entire earthly history as a whole.

Based on biblical sources, you can find out that God created man in his own image only a few thousand years ago. According to orthodox science, the age of a person (say, erectus - erectus person) can be dated no deeper than 2 million years, and the beginning of the formation of the most ancient civilization only in tens of thousands of years.

But could it be that the Bible and science are wrong, and the age of civilizations is much deeper in the centuries than it seems? There are many archaeological finds indicating that the development of life on the blue planet may not be as we know it. Here are some artifacts that are ready to break the usual opinion pattern.

1. Spheres of a sphere.

Over the years, miners in South Africa have raised strange spheres made of metal from the bowels of the earth. The origin of objects several centimeters in diameter is completely unknown. Curiously, one of the balls is engraved with three parallel grooves that encircle the entire ball.

The striking artifact balls can be classified into two varieties: some are made of metal interspersed with white, others are hollowed out inside and filled with a spongy white composition.

How it was cast and what its purpose is is not clear. But what annoys some scientists even more is the date of origin - 2.8 billion years! Erectus, for example, only 1.8 million years ago learned to fry food. It is difficult to imagine who could have made spheres in the Precambrian period (rock strata speak about this). - unless, of course, this is a terrible weapon of mythical aliens who destroyed dinosaurs.

By the way, criticism about these areas is also curious. Some believe that this is clearly manufactured by an intelligent being. But others claim the natural origin of these objectionable artifacts. By the way, such finds are also called "forbidden archeology" - such items do not fit into the framework of the outlined theories about the origin of man.

2. Incredible stone balls of Costa Rica.

As you can see more than once, our ancestors liked spherical shapes. So, wading through the impassable thickets of Costa Rica in 1930 - which was justified by the development of the territory - unexpectedly stumbled upon the perfect roundness of the balls.

The sizes of spherically even objects vary, from giant ones weighing 16 tons to small ones the size of a tennis ball. Dozens of Costa Rican stone balls lay as if giants and children were playing bowling here.

The balls, turned from a single piece of stone, are undoubtedly made by an intelligent, thinking creature, which was in the not so distant past, but the mystery of the unknown is present - who, why, and with the help of what was done is unknown. How did the craftsmen of antiquity manage to achieve a perfect circle, not the name of a bunch of necessary gadgets?

3. Incredible fossils.

Archeology, paleontology, very important sciences that reveal to us the secret of the life of the planet in the past. However, sometimes the bowels of the earth give out something amazing. Fossils - as each of us knows, this formation took place thousands and millions of years ago, and it is pointless to object to this, but it is also difficult to believe in the finds stuck in them.

Here, for example, is a fossilized handprint of a person found in limestone, whose age

is about 110 million years old. The question is, who could have captured their imprint as on the Walk of Fame, when a person was not yet in sight? Here is another case from the same category of forbidden archeology: An "abnormal" find of a fossilized human hand was found in Bogotá, Colombia.

The rock formation, which “fixed” the remains for centuries, dates back to 100-130 million years - an unthinkable date, since then a person could not live yet. That's really really an artifact from the category of "forbidden archeology".

4. Metal objects up to the Bronze Age.

A 65 million-year-old pipe cut is kept in a private collection. According to all theories, man is a young creature on earth, and in theory he could not process metal. But then who made the flattened metal pipes that were dug up in France?

And in 1912, the shop workers saw a metal pot falling out of the cracked coal. But nails were also found in sandstone from the Mesozoic era.

However, there are many other anomalies of this kind, with which it is not clear how to deal, since they clearly fall out of the general idea of human development.

5. Disks of the Dropa tribe, ordinary stones or an alien artifact.

The history of Drop's disks is very, very mysterious (also known as Dzopa, who calls Dropas), their origin is unknown, and often the very existence for some reason is denied despite the facts.

Each disc - 30 cm in diameter - has two grooves that diverge towards the edges in the form of a double helix.

Inside the grooves, hieroglyphs are applied, as a kind of marking bearing the source of coded information. According to various sources, at least 716 stone discs, about 12,000 years old, have been discovered.

The discovery of the stone discs of Dropa took place in 1938 and belongs to a research expedition led by Dr. Chi Pu Tei to Bayan-Kara-Ula, a place lying between Tibet and China. It is believed that the discs belonged to an incredibly ancient and grandiosely developed civilization.

From conversations with local residents, it is known that earlier stone discs belonged to the ancestors of the Dropa tribe - which were aliens from distant stellar worlds! According to legend, the discs contain unique records that could be reproduced if there was a "phonograph" - the discs are unusually similar to small vinyl records.

According to the legends of the tribe, about 10-12 thousand years ago, an alien ship made an emergency landing in these places - (the event successfully echoes the global flood). So, on this ship the ancestors of the present tribe of Dropa flew in. And the stone discs are all that have survived from those people.

Briefly speaking about this find, the following can be noted; The disks were found in rock burial caves, in which the remains of small skeletons lay, whose growth of the largest during life did not exceed 130 centimeters. Large heads, fragile refined bones - all those signs that are formed from a long stay in zero gravity.

6. Ica stones.

Since the early 1930s, the father of Dr. Javier Cabrera, while studying the burials of the Incas, found stones with engravings on the sides in the tombs (now there are over 50 thousand stones and boulders). Dr. Cabrera continued his father's hobby and, cataloging andesite artifacts, amassed a huge collection of amazing objects of distant antiquity. The age of the finds, according to estimates, dates from 500 to 1500 years, later they became known as the "Ica stones".

Very interesting and curious stones, I must say, were found near the Peruvian town of Ica, small, weighing 15-20 grams, large half a ton in weight - some of them are pictures of eroticism, the sides of others are decorated with idols. On the third, the absolutely impossible is depicted at all - a clearly traced battle between man and dinosaurs. It is completely incomprehensible where the ancients found out about brontosaurs and stegosaurs in order to draw animals that died out a hundred million years ago so clearly.

As for other images, it's scary to even think - these are heart operations, as well as the practice of transplantology. Agree, such finds are shocking, and of course they contradict the modern chronology of events, or rather, such pictures on the spot destroy the entire chronological chain of earthly history. This can be explained by one, to listen to the opinion of the professor of medicine Cabrera, who says that a powerful and developed culture once lived on Earth.

The doctor's stones, and over a decade, the collection has grown to 11 thousand copies, they have not received recognition, and are considered a modern fake, but this does not apply to all copies, some indeed came from the depths of centuries. And yet the pictures on them do not fit into the framework of the current theories about the age and development of civilizations on Earth, which means that "forbidden archeology" also falls into the basket.

By the way, Dr. Cabrera is a descendant of Don Jeronimo Luis de Cabrera and Toleda, the Spanish conquistador and founder of the city of Ica in 1563. It was Cabrera, MD, who made the artifacts widely known.

7. Spark plug for a Ford millennium.

Of course, the internal combustion engine is not a new device. Although Wallace Lane, Maxi and Mike Michesell stumbled upon an unusual rock in the California mountains in 1961, they did not think that the artifact lying inside was about 500,000 years old. At first, it was an ordinary beautiful stone for sale in a store.

It was later that something made of porcelain was found inside, in the center of which was a tube of light metal. It is not clear with the help of what technology this could have been done about half a million years ago. But the experts saw one more thing - some strange formation in the form of a knot.

As further work with the artifact, including an X-ray study, revealed, a small spring is located at the end of the found puzzle. Those who have studied this find say that it closely resembles a spark plug! - and this is a little thing that has been counted for half a million years.

However, the investigation carried out by Pierre Stromberg and Paul Heinrich, with the help of American collectors of spark plugs, - the artifact can be attributed to the 1920s. Allegedly very similar ones were used in the Ford Model T and Model A engines, made of stainless metal. So, in principle, this artifact can be considered critical in terms of age and origin. Although it is surprising how it managed to petrify in such a short time of 40 years?

8. Antikythera Mechanism

This bewildering artifact was raised by divers from the shipwreck site in 1901 off the coast of Antikythera, the place lies to the north-west of Crete. Divers, mining bronze figurines, and looking for other cargo of the ship, found an unknown mechanism covered with mold of corrosion with a bunch of gears - which was named Antikythera.

As it was possible to determine, the ancient device with many gears and wheels was made from 100 to 200 years before the birth of Christ. At first, experts decided that it was some kind of astrolabe instrument. But as shown by x-ray studies, the mechanism turned out to be more complex than it was thought - the device contained a system of differential gears.

But as history shows, at that time such solutions did not exist, they appeared only 1400 years later! So it remains a mystery who calculated this mechanism, who could have made such a fine instrument about 2,000 years ago. However, we can assume that once it was quite an ordinary technology for the manufacture of complex devices, they just forgot about it once, and then rediscovered it.

9. Ancient battery from Baghdad.

The photograph shows an amazing artifact of rather deep antiquity - this is a battery 2

000 years! This curious artifact was found on the ruins of a Parthian village - it is believed that the battery dates back to 226 - 248 BC. Why a battery was needed there and what was connected to it is unknown, but a tall clay vessel had a copper cylinder and a rod of oxidized iron inside.

As the experts who studied the find concluded, in order to obtain an electric current, it was required to fill a vessel with an acidic or alkaline liquid - and now, please, electricity is ready. By the way, there is nothing surprising in this rechargeable battery, according to experts, it was most likely used for electroplating with gold. Maybe it was so, as experts say, but then how could this knowledge be lost for long 1800 years?

10. An ancient plane or a toy?

Yes, looking through the artifacts from the heading "forbidden archeology" you never cease to wonder how advanced the civilizations of antiquity were - for example, the Sumerians owned the world 6,000 years ago - and where, and most importantly, how, these technologies, important for the development of life, were forgotten.

Look at the artifacts of the ancient Egyptian civilization and Central America, they strangely resemble the planes we are used to. It is possible that in an Egyptian tomb in 1898, only a wooden toy was found, but it’s too vividly reminiscent of an airplane with wings and a fuselage. In addition, experts believe that the object has a good aerodynamic shape, and is most likely able to stay in the air and fly.

And if the question with the Egyptian "Sakkar bird" is quite controversial and criticized, then a small artifact from America made of gold about 1000 years ago can easily be mistaken for a tabletop model of an airplane - or, for example, a space shuttle. The object is so carefully and carefully designed that there is even a pilot's seat on the plane of antiquity.

A trinket of an ancient civilization, or a model of a real plane from ancient times, how can you comment on such finds? - Knowledgeable people speak simply; intelligent beings lived on Earth much earlier than we think about it. Ufologists offer a version with an extraterrestrial civilization that supposedly came to Earth and gave people a lot of technical knowledge. Did our ancestors possess the greatest secrets and knowledge that, under the influence of a mysterious factor, were forgotten / erased from the memory of mankind?

Culture

Some researchers are confident that extraterrestrial forms of intelligent lives have visited our planet in the past... However, such statements are not scientifically proven facts and remain just assumptions and hypotheses.

UFOs almost always have 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?

Extraterrestrial mechanism

Alien cogwheel from Vladivostok

Earlier this year, a resident of Vladivostok discovered a strange detail from equipment... This object resembled part of a cogwheel and was pressed into a piece of coal with which the man was going to heat the stove.

Although unnecessary pieces of old equipment can be found almost everywhere, this thing seemed very strange, so the person decided to take it to scientists. After careful examination 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 piqued interest, since such pure aluminum and such a form of an object clearly could not have appeared in nature without the intervention of intelligent life. Moreover, it is known that humanity has learned to make such details not earlier. 1825 year.

The artifact incredibly resembles 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 jungle 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 an ancient alien civilization which was much more developed than the 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 the statue could have been sculpted by later peoples, but unfortunately, we will never know about it. Revolutionary Guatemalans used the statue as a target and almost completely destroyed it.

Ancient artifact or fake?

Alien Power 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 incomprehensible electrical component. It was obvious that this device was created by the hand of a man, and it was most of all similar to an electric plug.

The stone has since become well known in the circles of alien hunters, the most famous publications devoted to the paranormal have written about it. Williams, an electrical engineer, reported that an electrical part that was pressed into a granite stone was not glued or welded to it.

Many are convinced that this artifact is just a clever forgery, but Williams refused to give the subject up for more detailed research. 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 supposedly proves that the object inside it was not created by man.

Ultimately Williams agreed to collaborate with scientists, but only if they will fulfill his three conditions: he will be present during all tests, he will not pay for research and the stone will not be damaged.

Artifacts of ancient civilizations

Ancient flying machines

The Incas and other peoples of pre-Columbian America left behind a lot of very curious mysterious things... Some of them have been called "ancient airplanes" - these are small golden figures that closely resemble modern airplanes.

Initially it was assumed that these are figures of animals or insects, but later it turned out that they have strange details that look more like parts of fighter planes: wings, tail fins and even a landing gear.

It has been suggested that these models represent copies of real planes... 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 were found here El Obeid culture, which existed in the territory of southern Mesopotamia between 5900 and 4000 BC.

Some of the artifacts found are particularly bizarre. 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 have been suggestions that these figurines - alien images who flew to Earth at that time. The true nature of the figurines remains a mystery.

Life in a meteorite

Researchers who studied the remnants of a meteorite discovered on the skeleton of Sri Lanka found that the subject of their research is not just a piece of rock that came from space. It was an artifact in the truest sense of the word created outside the earth... Two different studies have shown that this meteorite contains fossils and algae of extraterrestrial origin.

Scientists have reported that these fossils provide clear evidence panspermia(hypothesis 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 the fresh waters of the Earth... It is very possible that the object was simply infected while it was on our planet.

Tapestry "Summer holiday"

Tapestry titled "Summer holiday" was established in Bruges (the provincial capital West Flanders in Belgium) approximately in 1538... Today it can be seen in Bavarian National Museum.

This tapestry is famous for depicting very similar to UFO objects that are hovering in the sky. There are suggestions that they were placed on a tapestry, which depicts the ascension of the victor to the throne, so that 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 Sputnik

Italian painter Ventura Salimbeni is the author of one of the most mysterious altarpieces in history. "Disputa of the Eucharist"- a painting of the 16th century, which consists of several parts.

The lower part of the picture does not differ in anything strange: it depicts the saints and the altar. However, the upper part of it depicts Holy Trinity (Father, Son and dove - Holy Spirit) that 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 alien hunters believe this painting serves as proof that the artist saw a UFO or traveled in time, experts very quickly found an explanation.

This object is actually - Sphaera mundi, 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 antennas are sceptres, that is, symbols of the authority of the Father and the Son.

Mayan artifacts

Ancient UFO images

In 2012, the Mexican government unveiled several ancient Mayan artifacts that it hid 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 may serve as evidence that the Maya at one time saw UFOs. However, the authenticity of these artifacts raises great doubts in the scientific world, and the pictures that have appeared on the network - even more so. Most likely, these artifacts were created local artisans to create a sensation, fueling end-of-the-world news at the end of 2012.

Mysterious artifact

Betz Alien Sphere

This mysterious story happened in the mid 1970s... When the Betz family studied the damage after a fire that destroyed a large amount of forest on their site, they found an amazing find: a silver ball about 20 centimeters in diameter completely smooth with a strange elongated triangular symbol.

At first, the Betzs thought it was some kind of NASA space object or a Soviet spy satellite, but ultimately decided that it was just a souvenir and kept it for themselves.

Two weeks later, Bettsev's son decided to play the guitar in the room where the ball was. Suddenly the object began to react to the melody, producing a strange pulsating sound, causing the Betz dog to worry.

Further, the family discovered even stranger properties of the object. If he was rolled on the floor the ball could stop and change direction abruptly, while returning to the person who abandoned him. It seemed to draw energy from the sun's rays, as the ball became more active on sunny days.

Newspapers began to write about the ball, scientists became interested in it, although the Bettsy 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 became seriously worried and decided to find out what this ball was like. What was their surprise when it turned out that this mysterious object is just regular stainless steel ball.

While there are many theories about where this strange ball came from and why it behaves this way, one of them turned out to be the most plausible.

Three years before the Betz found the balloon, an artist named James Durling-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 my future sculpture. On the way, one of the balls fell out and rolled off 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 lightly touch them. The Betz house had uneven floors, so the ball did not roll in a straight line. These balls could also make sounds due to 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 of 10 archaeological finds, the secrets of which still remain unsolved.

1. Ancient devices

The lens of Nimrud from the capital of Assyria.

Ancient civilizations knew much more and were more advanced than scientists assumed 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 lens of Nimrud, estimated to be about 3,000 years old, was discovered during excavations in the ancient Assyrian capital of Nimrud. Some experts believe that the lens was part of an ancient Babylonian telescope. This means that they had advanced knowledge in astronomy.

The famous Antikythera Mechanism (200 BC) was created to calculate the movement of the sun, moon and planets. Unfortunately, people can only guess why and how many ancient devices were created, and why ancient knowledge about them disappeared.

2. Empire Rama

Evidence for the existence of the ancient Indian empire of Rama.

For a long time, it was believed that Indian civilization emerged only in 500 BC. However, discoveries made in the last century have pushed back the origins 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. Harappa 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 different social classes, there are no temples or other places of worship. No other culture, including Egypt and Mesopotamia, has had this level of urban planning.

3. Longyu Caves

Longyu Caves in China, built around the 2nd century BC

Longyu - the Chinese call another wonder of the world. The system of 24 caves was discovered by accident in 1992. The time of the emergence of the caves dates back to the 2nd century BC. Despite its titanic volume (about a million cubic meters of stone would have to be removed to carve out such caves in hard rock), 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, the seven discovered grottoes repeat the location of the seven stars in the constellation Ursa Major.

4. Nan Madol

Nan Madol.

On an artificial archipelago in Micronesia, not far from Pohnpei Island, there are the ruins of the ancient prehistoric city of Nan Madola. The city is built on a coral reef made of basalt boulders weighing up to 50 tons. The city is crossed by many canals and underwater tunnels. Part of its streets are flooded. The scale of this structure can be compared with the Great Wall of China or the Egyptian pyramids. At the same time, there is not a single record of who built the city and when it was built.

5. Tunnels of the Stone Age

Tunnels of the Stone Age.

From Scotland to Turkey, archaeologists have unearthed evidence of a vast network of underground tunnels beneath hundreds of Neolithic settlements. 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 sheer 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-Incan city of Tiwanaku in South America. The age of the megalithic ruins is highly 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 were cut and fitted to each other so precisely that there is no doubt that the builders clearly had developed knowledge of cutting stones, geometry, and they had the tools to do this. The city also had a functioning irrigation system, sewerage system, and hydraulic mechanisms.

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 found that the metal was poured into grooves cut in the stones, which means that the builders had portable factories. It is unclear why this technology and other megalith construction methods have been lost.

8. The riddle of Baalbek

Baalbek in modern Lebanon.

Archaeological excavations at Baalbek, Lebanon have unearthed some of the best-preserved Roman ruins in the world. The megalithic mound, on which the Romans built their temples, makes this place especially mysterious. The stone monoliths of this mound weigh up to 1,200 tons each and are the largest processed stone slabs in the world. Some archaeologists believe that Baalbek's history goes back about 9000 years.

9. Giza plateau

The Giza Plateau is a mysterious and iconic place.

The Great Pyramid of Egypt is geometrically perfect. 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 this area of the camp was only 7,000 - 9,000 years ago. The pyramid of Mikerin also belongs to the pre-dynastic period. It was also built from blocks of limestone and has exactly the same erosion marks as the Sphinx.

10. Göbekli Tepe

Göbekli Tepe temple complex.

Dating from the end of the last ice age (12,000 years ago), a temple complex in southeastern Turkey has been named the most important archaeological discovery of our time. Ancient ceramics, writing, the already existing wheel and metallurgy - its construction implies a level of development that goes far beyond the development of Paleolithic civilizations. Göbekli Tepe consists of 20 circular structures (so far only 4 have been excavated) and skillfully 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 where its creators had advanced knowledge of masonry from.
