The most mysterious artifact. Artifacts that are hidden from us: mysteries of human history. Artifacts of ancient civilizations

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 into sandy soil, they illustrate animals and geometric shapes.

The images also represented by lines are very similar to landing strips. The Nazca people, who created the wonderful drawings, did not leave any records about the purpose of the large-scale images. Perhaps, due to their prehistoric era, they had not yet discovered the advantages of a written language, or something else held 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 implemented at that time.

Some theorists believe that the Nazca lines represent constellations and correlate with the location of stars. It is also suggested that the geoglyphs must have been viewed from the heavens, with some lines forming runways for alien visitors to Earth.

Another thing 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 plausible explanations other than the involvement of extraterrestrial technology.

GIANT FINGER OF EGYPT.

The 35-centimeter-long artifact, according to legend, was discovered in the 1960s in Egypt. Unknown researcher Gregor Sporri, meeting the owner of the artifact in 1988, paid $300 to photograph the finger and conduct an x-ray. There is even an x-ray image of the finger, as well as a stamp of authenticity.

Original photo taken in 1988

However, not a single scientist studied the finger, and the person who owned the artifact left no opportunity to hear the details. This may contribute to the fact that the giant's finger is a hoax, or indicate a civilization of giants that lived on the earth before us.

STONE DISCS OF THE DROPA TRIBE.

As reported in the history of the artifact, Cho Pu Tei, a professor of archeology (an actual archaeologist) of Beijing, was on an expedition with his students to explore caves deep in the Himalayan mountains. Located between Tibet and China, a number 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 Tay suggested that they are an undocumented species of mountain gorilla. The truth was that the ritual burial was very confusing.

Hundreds of disks with a diameter of 30.5 centimeters with perfect holes in the center were also found here. Researchers, having studied the paintings on the walls of the cave, came to the conclusion that the age is 12,000 years. The discs of mysterious purpose also date back to the same age.

Sent to Peking University, the Dropa discs (as they were called) were studied for 20 years. Many researchers and scientists tried to decipher the writings engraved on the disks, but they 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 never appeared anywhere before. The engraving itself was done to such an elaborate level that it required a magnifying glass to read. All the results of the decryptions went into the area of the extraterrestrial origin of artifacts.

Tribal Legend: Ancient dropas 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, SPARK PLUG AT 500,000 YEARS OLD.

In 1961, a very strange artifact was discovered in the Coso Mountains, California. Looking for additions to their display, the owners of a small gem store set out to collect a few pieces. However, they were lucky to find not just a valuable stone or a rare fossil, but a real mechanical artifact of deep antiquity.

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 on the inside. Adding to the mystery is an unidentifiable powdery white substance inside.

After conducting research on the artifact and the marine fossils covering the surface, it turned out that the artifact “fossilized” 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. Either the planet actually existed popular place from aliens, often repaired on Earth.

MECHANISM OF ANTIKYTHERA.

In the last century, divers have been clearing ancient Greek treasures from the site of the Antikythera shipwreck, which dates back to 100 BC. Among the artifacts they found 3 parts of a mysterious device. The device had bronze triangular teeth and is believed 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 different sizes with triangular teeth that were always counted down to prime numbers. It is believed that if all teeth are proven to be prime numbers, then they can clarify the astronomical secrets of the ancient Greeks.

The Antikythera mechanism had a knob that allowed the user to enter past and future dates and then calculate the positions 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 the device used colored balls to represent the Sun, Mars and Moon. Okay, 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. In Central and South America Small gold items dating back to 500 AD were discovered. era.

More precisely, dating is a bit of a challenge, since the items are entirely made of gold, so the date was estimated using stratigraphy. This may fool some people into thinking it's a hoax, but the artifacts date back at least 1,000 years.

The artifacts are interesting because of their amazing similarity to ordinary airplanes. Archaeologists have designated the finds as zoomorphic for their resemblance to animals. However, comparing them with birds and fish (which have similar characteristics from an animal point of view) seems to lead to the desired conclusion. In any case, such a comparison raises serious doubts.

Why do they look so much like airplanes? They have wings, stabilizing elements and landing mechanisms, which have called on researchers to recreate one of the ancient figures.

Being created to scale but accurate in proportions, this ancient artifact seems very similar to a modern fighter jet. After the reconstruction, it was documented that the plane, although not very good aerodynamically, flew wonderfully.

Is it possible that 1000 years ago ancient cosmonauts visited us and left design solutions for what we now call “airplanes”? In addition, the aerodynamic characteristics on the home planet of the “guests” may be different from terrestrial conditions.

Perhaps this is a model of a space shuttle (by the way, we are designing the same shape). Or is it more plausible to think that the artifact represents an overly inaccurate representation of the birds and the bees?

Maybe, ancient world was in contact with many alien races, as evidenced by a rich collection of stories detailing the encounters. Many cultures, separated by thousands of years, contain tales of flying objects and technologies so advanced that they seem like hoaxes to us.

Culture

Some researchers are confident that extraterrestrial forms of intelligent lives 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 evidence of the existence of aliens?

Extraterrestrial mechanism

Alien gear wheel from Vladivostok

At the beginning of this year, a resident of Vladivostok discovered a strange equipment part. This object resembled part of a gear wheel and was pressed into a piece of coal with which the man was going to light 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 thorough examination of the subject, it turned out that object made of almost pure aluminum and is indeed of 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 form of the object clearly could not have appeared in nature without the intervention of intelligent life. Moreover, it is known that humanity learned to make such parts no earlier 1825.

The artifact incredibly resembles parts of a microscope and other fine technical instruments. Immediately there were suggestions that the object was 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 Guatemalan jungle. The facial features of the statue were completely different from the appearance of the ancient Mayans 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 the natives before the arrival of the Spaniards. Some have also suggested that the statue's head 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 this. 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 discovered that it was attached unknown 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 the circles of alien hunters, and the most famous publications devoted to paranormal phenomena have written about it. Williams, an electrical engineer, said the electrical part that was pressed into the granite stone was not glued or welded to it.

Many believe that this artifact is just a clever fake, but Williams refused to give the item for 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 approximately 100 thousand years, which supposedly proves that the object inside it was not created by man.

Williams eventually agreed to collaborate with the scientists, but only if they will fulfill his three conditions: he will be present during all tests, will not pay for the 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 closely resemble modern planes.

Initially it was assumed that these were figurines of animals or insects, but later it turned out that they had strange details, which are more similar to parts of fighter aircraft: wings, tail stabilizer and even landing gear.

It has been suggested that these models represent replicas of real planes. That is, the Inca civilization could communicate with extraterrestrial beings who could fly to Earth on similar devices.

The version that these figurines are just artistic image bees, flying fish or other earthly creatures with wings.

Lizard people

Al-Ubayd- an archaeological site in Iraq is a real gold mine for archaeologists and historians. A large number of objects were found here El Obeid culture, which existed in southern Mesopotamia during the period between 5900 and 4000 BC.

Some of the artifacts found are particularly 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 have been suggestions that these figurines are alien images, 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 discovered on the island of Sri Lanka discovered that the subject of their research was not just a piece of rock that flew from outer space. It was an artifact, in the truest sense of the word. created outside of Earth. Two separate studies have shown that this meteorite contains fossils and algae of extraterrestrial origin.

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 species that can be found in fresh waters of the Earth. 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 created in Bruges (provincial capital West Flanders in Belgium) approximately in 1538. Today he can be seen in Bavarian National Museum.

This tapestry is famous for depicting objects very similar to UFOs that hovered in the skies. There are suggestions that they were placed on a tapestry, which depicts the ascension of the winner to the throne, in order associate a UFO with a monarch. The 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 altar images in history. "Disputa of the Eucharist" ("Glorification of the Holy Communion")– a 16th-century painting that consists of several parts.

The lower part of the picture is not distinguished by anything strange: it depicts saints and an altar. However, its upper part depicts Holy Trinity (Father, Son and dove - Holy Spirit) who look down from above and hold on to a strange object that looks like a space satellite.

This object has perfect 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 are confident that this painting is proof that the artist saw a UFO or traveled back in time, experts quickly found an explanation.

This object is actually - Sphaera Mundi, representation of the Universe. This symbol has been used more than once in religious art. 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 UFO images

In 2012, the Mexican government released several ancient Mayan 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 Mayans.

These artifacts are notable for the fact that depict flying saucers, which may serve as evidence that the Mayans saw UFOs at one time. However, the authenticity of these artifacts raises great doubts in the scientific world, and even more so in the pictures that appeared on the Internet. Most likely, these artifacts were created local artisans, to create a sensation fueling reports of the end of the world at the end of 2012.

Mysterious artifact

Betsev Alien Sphere

This misterious story happened in the mid 1970s. When the Betz family was examining the damage after a fire that destroyed a large amount of forest on their property, they discovered an amazing find: silvery ball approximately 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 Soviet spy satellite, but ultimately decided 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 pulsating sound, causing concern in the Betzes' dog.

Next, the family discovered even more strange properties of the object. If he was rolled on the floor, the ball could stop and suddenly change direction, while returning to the person who abandoned him. It seemed that it drew energy from the sun's rays, since 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 things began to happen in the house mysterious phenomena: the ball began to behave like a poltergeist. Doors began to open at night, and organ music began to sound in the house.

After this, the family became seriously worried and decided to find out what this ball was. Imagine their surprise when it turned out that this mysterious object- only regular stainless steel ball.

Although many theories have emerged 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 Betzes found the orb, an artist named James Durling-Jones drove through these places in a car, on the roof of which he was carrying several stainless steel balls, which he intended 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 Betsev ball: they could balance and roll in different directions , as soon as they are lightly touched. The Betzes' 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 were trapped inside during the production of the ball.

Over the last hundred years, many artifacts have been discovered that are at least puzzling. 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 all earthly history generally.

Based on biblical sources, we can find out that God created man in his own image just a few thousand years ago. According to orthodox science, the age of man (say erectus - upright man) can be dated no deeper than 2 million years, and the beginning of the formation of the 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 the same as we know. Here are a few artifacts ready to break the usual pattern of opinions.

1. Sphere balls.

Over the past years, miners in South Africa strange spheres made of metal were raised from the bowels of the earth. The origin of objects with a diameter of several centimeters is completely unknown. And what’s curious is that some of the balls have an engraving of three grooves parallel to each other, encircling the entire ball.

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

How it was cast and what its purpose is is unclear. But what irritates some scientists even more is the date of origin - 2.8 billion years! Erectus, for example, only learned to fry food 1.8 million years ago. It is difficult to imagine who could have made spheres during the Precambrian period (this is evidenced by the rock layers). – unless, of course, it’s the terrible weapon of the mythical aliens who destroyed the dinosaurs.

By the way, criticism regarding these areas is also interesting. Some believe that it was clearly made by an intelligent being. But others claim the natural origin of these unwanted artifacts. By the way, it is precisely such finds that are also called “forbidden archeology” - such objects do not fit into the framework of the outlined theories about the origin of man.

2. Incredible stone balls of Costa Rica.

As you can see more than once, our ancestors liked spherical shapes. So, while making our way through the impassable thickets of Costa Rica in 1930 - which was justified by the development of the territory - we unexpectedly came across perfectly round balls.

The sizes of spherically smooth objects vary, from gigantic 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, were certainly made by an intelligent creature capable of thinking, which happened in the not-so-distant past, but the mystery of the unknown is present - who, why, and with what help did it is unknown. How did the ancient masters manage to achieve the perfect circle without 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 depths of the earth reveal something amazing. Fossils - as each of us knows, this formation occurred thousands and millions of years ago, and it is pointless to object to this, but it is also difficult to believe in the finds stuck in them.

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

dates back about 110 million years. So the question arises: who could have imprinted their imprint on the Walk of Fame when there was no trace of the person yet? Here's another case from the same category of forbidden archeology: an "abnormal" find of a fossilized human hand was discovered in Bogota (Colombia).

The rock formation that “recorded” the remains for centuries dates back to 100-130 million years ago - an unthinkable date, since humans could not yet live then. This is truly an artifact from the category of “forbidden archaeology.”

4. Metal objects before the Bronze Age.

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

And in 1912, workshop workers saw a metal pot fall out of broken coal. But nails were also found in sandstone from the Mesozoic era.

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

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

The history of Dropa discs is very, very mysterious (they are also known as Dzopa, who call Dropas), their origin is unknown, and often their very existence is for some reason denied despite the facts.

Each disk, 30 cm in diameter, has two grooves diverging towards the edges in the form of a double helix.

Hieroglyphs are applied inside the grooves, as a kind of marking carrying the source of encoded information. According to various sources, at least 716 stone disks were discovered, approximately 12,000 years old.

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

From conversations with local residents It is known that previously the stone disks belonged to the ancestors of the Dropa tribe - who were aliens from distant star worlds! According to legend, the discs contain unique recordings 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, approximately 10 - 12 thousand years ago, an alien ship visited these places emergency landing, - (the event successfully echoes the global flood). So, the ancestors of the current Dropa tribe arrived on this ship. And the stone disks are all that has survived from those people.

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

6. Ica stones.

Since the early 1930s, the father of Dr. Javier Cabrera, while studying Inca burials, 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 from ancient times. The age of the finds is estimated to be between 500 and 1500 years, and they subsequently became known as the “Ica stones.”

Very interesting and curious stones, it must be said, were found near the Peruvian town of Ica, small, weighing 15-20 grams, large ones weighing half a ton - on some there are paintings of eroticism, the sides of others are decorated with idols. Still others depict the absolutely impossible - a clearly drawn battle between man and dinosaurs. It is completely incomprehensible where the ancients learned about brontosaurs and stegosaurs in order to so clearly draw animals that became extinct a hundred million years ago.

It’s scary to even think about how to relate to other images - these are heart surgeries, as well as the practice of transplantology. Agree, such finds are shocking, and of course contradict the modern chronology of events; more precisely, such pictures completely destroy the entire chronological chain of earthly history. There is only one way to explain this: listen to the opinion of Professor of Medicine Cabrera, who says that a powerful and developed culture once lived on Earth.

The doctor's stones, and in ten years the collection has grown to 11 thousand copies, have not received recognition, and are considered a modern fake, but this does not apply to all copies, some actually came from the depths of centuries. And yet the paintings on them do not fit into the framework of current theories about the age and development of civilizations on Earth, which means they also fall into the “forbidden archeology” basket.

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

7. A spark plug for a Ford that is thousands of years old.

Of course, the internal combustion engine is not a new device. Although when Wallace Lane, Maxie and Mike Mikesell stumbled upon an unusual rock in the California mountains in 1961, they had no idea 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 only later that something made of porcelain was discovered inside, in the center of which there was a tube made of light metal. It is unclear with what technology this could have been done about half a million years ago. But experts noticed one more thing - some strange formation in the form of a nodule.

As further work with the artifact, including x-ray examination, revealed, there is a small spring located at the end of the found riddle. Those who have studied this find say that it closely resembles a spark plug! - and this is a little thing that is estimated to be half a million years old.

However, the investigation carried out by Pierre Stromberg and Paul Heinrich, with the help of American spark plug collectors, the artifact can be attributed to the 1920s. Supposedly very similar ones were used in Ford Model T and Model A engines, made of stainless metal. So, in principle, this artifact can be considered critical in terms of age and origin. Although it’s surprising how she managed to petrify in such a short time of 40 years?

8. Antikythera mechanism

This perplexing artifact was recovered by divers from the site of a shipwreck in 1901 off the coast of Antikythera, a place located northwest of Crete. Divers, extracting bronze figurines and looking for other cargo of the ship, found an unknown mechanism covered with corrosion mold with a bunch of gears - which was named Antikythera.

How was it possible to determine ancient device with many gears and wheels, 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 X-ray studies showed, the mechanism turned out to be more complex than 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! It remains a mystery who calculated this mechanism, who could have made such a thin instrument about 2,000 years ago. However, it can be assumed that this was once a completely ordinary technology for manufacturing complex devices, they just forgot about it one day and then rediscovered it.

9. An ancient battery from Baghdad.

The photograph shows an amazing artifact of quite ancient times - this is a battery 2 years old.

000 years! This curious artifact was found in 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 necessary to fill the vessel with a liquid of an acidic or alkaline composition - and here you go, electricity is ready. By the way, there is nothing surprising in this 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 1800 long years?

10. Ancient plane or toy?

Yes, looking through the artifacts under the heading “forbidden archeology” you never cease to be amazed at how advanced the civilizations of antiquity were - for example, the Sumerians ruled the world 6,000 years ago - and where, and most importantly how, these technologies important for the development of life were forgotten.

See artifacts from ancient Egyptian civilization and Central America, they strangely resemble planes that are familiar to us. It is possible that in an Egyptian tomb in 1898, they found only a wooden toy, but it very clearly resembles an airplane with wings and a fuselage. In addition, experts believe that the object has a good aerodynamic shape and is most likely capable of staying in the air and flying.

And if the issue with the Egyptian “Sakkara Bird” is quite controversial and is subject to criticism, 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 an ancient plane. A trinket from an ancient civilization, or a model of a real airplane from ancient times, how can you comment on such finds? - Knowledgeable people

they 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 really possess the greatest secrets and knowledge, which, under the influence of a mysterious factor, were forgotten/erased from the memory of mankind?

Since the time of Darwin, science has more or less managed to fit into 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..

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 disks serve as carriers of information about extraterrestrial civilization.

In 1901 the Aegean Sea opened scientists secret sunken Roman ship. Among other surviving antiquities, a mysterious mechanical artifact was found that was made about 2,000 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, it is still not clear to scientists 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 ever since it was discovered in one of the Egyptian caves in 1898. mysterious artifact. 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 operations were carried out in Massachusetts, and among the fragments stone blocks a metal vessel was discovered that had been torn in half by the 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. 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 flooded with soil waters, with the formation of dense rock around them over time. Even if the vase fell through along with the hammer, the pipes in French quarries could not have reached the depths by accident.

11. Iron mug in coal

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. A Maister is not a specialist, but a draftsman, free time looking for antiquity, 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... the geochronology is false.

13.Sole of shoes on 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. natural history and a geologist at 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.”

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 replica of a woman's skull, it has a completeness that would be impossible to achieve without the use of more or less modern methods, ways that the Mayan culture possessed 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 cup 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.

June 25th, 2013

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 on Earth. 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 the help of kmd still continue to extract them from the rock near the city of Klerksdorp, located in South Africa.
2. Drop stones.

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.
3. Antikythera mechanism.

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 2,000 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.

Unique stones were 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, the ancestors of modern man were already thriving and creative in the times when these giants roamed the earth?
5. Baghdad battery.

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!
7. Stone balls of Costa Rica.

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, it is still not clear to scientists 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 the pyramids, but could the same Egyptians have thought of constructing an airplane? Scientists have been asking this question since a mysterious artifact was discovered in one of the Egyptian caves in 1898. The shape of the device is similar to an airplane, and 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 by a fresco 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.

Even if the vase fell through along with the hammer, the pipes in French quarries could not 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.

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... the geochronology is false.
13.The sole of the shoe is on an ancient stone

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.

Otherwise, we would have to admit that people wearing shoes sewn with thread lived alongside dinosaurs.
14. Two mysterious Cylinders

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.
15. Mayan Crystal Skulls

According to the most widely accepted story, the “Skull of Destiny” was found in 1927 by English explorer Frederick A. Mitchell-Hedges among the Mayan ruins of 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.

There are doubts about the authenticity of many of these artifacts, but one thing is certain: crystal skulls continue to delight intrepid scientists.
16. Salzburg paralepiped

The very existence of the “parallelepiped” makes one wonder: is it the only one? Are there other similar (if not in form and composition, then at least in terms of the conditions under which they were found) objects? We do not mean ordinary fossil meteorites, which do not raise doubts about their nature; we are interested in objects of a clearly (or presumably) artificial nature. Those that fell into the earth's rocks during the formation of the latter. Somewhat conventionally, they can be called “unknown fossil objects” or NIO for short. “There is no doubt about AUTHENTICITY” Such finds are actually known to science.
