In Archaeological artifacts inexplicable by science and a little about it.
Collecting bone shards and remains at archaeological sites, scientists will always be tormented by age-old questions about the Universe: are we alone in it, how long has civilization existed, and how long has the Earth been formed. These questions are unlikely to ever have exact answers, but new technologies and discoveries will always give scientists hope. Have any of you ever wondered how the dating of found artifacts is established? And how are they identified and defined?
There are several methods for determining the dating of historical artifacts that have come down to us, but none of them is accurate. And the radiocarbon method, which is considered the most reliable, has been found to determine the age only for the last two thousand years. Therefore, many experts argue that the dating known to us is more than conditional, and world scientists have found themselves in a real impasse due to the inability to accurately establish a clear chronology of development humanity. It is not excluded that the historical facts known to all will have to be considered anew, rewriting many chapters of civilization, which seem to be unshakable truths. 
Modern scientists set the boundaries of human evolution in the last few millennia, and before that, according to authoritative researchers, there was a Stone Age that lasted an indefinite amount of time. Surprisingly, science ignores recorded archaeological artifacts that do not fit into the history of the development of life on Earth, helping to take a skeptical look at the established theory of chronology.
Let's talk about the amazing finds found in various parts of our planet, causing shock not only to the layman, but also to well-known researchers who do not want to take them into account as not fitting into the established framework. One of the most famous finds are objects made by human hands that turned out to be walled up in a stone monolith, whose age is several million years. For example, strange artifacts were found in limestone and coal quarries at the end of the 19th century.
Then in the American press there was a small note about the found gold chain, literally soldered into the rock. According to the most modest assumptions of scientists, the age of the block exceeded 250 million years. And in a scientific journal, an article about a very strange find went almost unnoticed - two halves of a vessel like a modern vase, decorated with flowers, were discovered after an explosion in a quarry. Geologists, who carefully studied the rock in which the mysterious object was located, found that it was about 600 million years old. Such unusual artifacts, unfortunately, are hushed up by scientists, because they threaten the theory of the origin of a person who could not live at that time. Discovered objects that violate the generally accepted truths about evolution are much easier to ignore than to try to explain them from a scientific point of view.
Unique artifacts appear quite often, but they are not always known to a wide range of the population. One of the latest sensations that surprised all scientists was a huge stone slab found in Bashkiria, called Chandarskaya, on the surface of which a map of the area was embossed. There is no image of modern roads on it, but instead of them incomprehensible sites are carved, later recognized as airfields. The age of the monolith weighing one ton was so striking that the find was announced as a gift from aliens who wanted to inhabit our planet. In any case, scientists have not received a clear explanation of how the relief outlines of the map of the region appeared on the block, whose age is determined at 50 million years.
Skeptics argued furiously with the scientific brethren who defended the version of aliens, explaining all the strange finds with a single hypothesis - the existence of a highly developed civilization that died as a result of some kind of catastrophe, but left a real reminder of itself to the descendants. True, modern science strongly denies such assumptions that break the boundaries of the alleged human evolution, declaring such artifacts as fakes or referring to their manufacture by extraterrestrial civilizations. On this occasion, the physicist and researcher V. Shemshuk even rightly spoke out, entering into a confrontation with modern science: “Many finds - historical artifacts confirming the existence of ancient civilizations, are declared hoaxes or relate to the activities of extraterrestrial beings.”
Archaeologists from all over the world have accumulated enough material that does not fit well with the concept of the development of life on Earth. Expeditions are known in Ecuador and Peru, who discovered an ancient labyrinth many kilometers deep underground. The research of archaeologists was recognized as a real sensation, but at present access to the anomalous territory is prohibited by local authorities who do not want to share the most intimate with the whole world.
The leaders of the group believe that they are faced with a real mystery, the mystery of which has not been solved to this day. Having passed a huge network of underground passages, scientists discovered a huge hall in which there were statues of animals made of real gold, including dinosaurs. In a huge cave resembling a library, ancient manuscripts were kept with the thinnest sheets of metal, on which unknown letters were engraved. In the center of the far hall sat a strange figure with a helmet pulled over his eyes, and an unusual capsule with holes in it, resembling a telephone dial, hung around his neck. the location of the labyrinth, worrying about its safety.
After such unusual confessions about the existence of an amazing underground world, other groups traveled to the area, but only Polish scientists managed to find it and get inside the strange labyrinth. Several boxes with exhibits were taken out, but in the spacious underground halls no golden sculptures and books written in a language unknown to science were found. However, the main result of all underground research was the confirmation of the existence of a multi-kilometer labyrinth, laid with the help of high technologies, which could not have been applied several millennia ago. It is inexplicable, but true: no one can shed light on the origin of the underground passages, access to which is now closed.
Few people know about the existence of "forbidden" archeology, the founder of which is M. Kremo. An American anthropologist and researcher has officially stated that, based on the data he has, civilization originated much earlier than official science says. He mentions an unusual find by geologists during excavations in the Urals, which does not fit into the standard concepts of evolution. Unexplained artifacts were found at a depth of about 12 meters in soil layers, the age of which is set to range from 20 to 100 thousand years. Miniature strange spirals no larger than three millimeters were found in untouched soil layers, which was immediately recorded by the geological authorities in order to avoid further talk about falsification of objects.
Ancient artifacts surprised with their composition: the spirals were made of copper, tungsten and molybdenum. The latter is used today to harden steel products, and its melting point is about 2600 degrees. A logical question arises as to how our ancestors were able to process the smallest parts made in mass production, because the corresponding special equipment they didn't have. Many scientists are inclined to believe that even today, with the use of high technologies, it is unrealistic to put the production of millimeter spirals on stream.
At the first glance at small details, an association arises with nanoparticles used in micro-equipment, and some of the developments of our scientists of this kind have not even been completed. It turns out that archaeological artifacts that do not fit into the history of the development of mankind are made at a production facility whose technical level is an order of magnitude higher than the modern one. The discoveries were made by many researchers who admitted that tungsten cannot take a spiral shape on its own, and we are talking about molecular technologies that could not be used by our ancestors. There is only one answer - the excavations of archaeologists once again stirred up talk that there was a super-civilization before us, possessing powerful knowledge and high technology.
Newspapers do not write about these findings, and few people know about the research of scientists. However, "forbidden" archeology has plenty of evidence confirming that in prehistoric times superhumans (or aliens) lived on our planet, and the age of mankind is tens of times older than it is considered today. World science is afraid of sensations that will cast doubt on the immutable truths about the stages of evolution, trying to hush up inexplicable artifacts. However, some of them, such as elongated skulls, are becoming known.
In Antarctica, archaeologists have discovered human remains that have become a real surprise in the scientific world. On a continent thought to be uninhabited until the modern era, strange, elongated skulls have been found that are upending views of human history. Most likely, they belonged to a mysterious group of people who differed in physical parameters from ordinary members of the race. Previously, the same skulls were found in Egypt and Peru, which confirms the version of contact between civilizations.
South American explorers have found a giant human head with delicate features and sky-gazing eyes. The appearance of the monument, similar to a white man, was strikingly different from the representatives of the pre-Hispanic civilization. It is believed that the head also had a body, but nothing can be known for sure, since the statue was used during the revolution as a target for shooting, and all features have been destroyed. The statue is not a fake, but questions about who created it and why remain. long time no answers.
In Colombia, a disk made of durable material was discovered, the surface of which shocked all researchers. All the stages of the birth and birth of a person into the world were marked on it. It is inexplicable, but true: the images of the processes are drawn with pinpoint accuracy, they can only be seen under a microscope. The “genetic” disk is at least six thousand years old, and it is not clear how such a relief was applied without appropriate instruments. The strange-looking human heads are different from the usual images, and researchers are wondering what species these people belong to. Archaeological artifacts that do not fit into history raise many questions. It is already clear that our ancestors, the authors of this disk, possessed perfect knowledge, which is evidenced by the application of microscopic drawings.
Colombia is rich in amazing archaeological finds, and one of them, the most famous, was an airplane made of real gold. Its age is about a thousand years. Surprisingly, the shape of the wing of a strange object does not occur naturally in birds. It is not known where our ancestors took the special structure of the aircraft, which seemed very unusual to contemporaries. Interesting artifacts stored in Colombian museums interested American designers who created the famous supersonic aircraft with the same delta wing as the find.
Drawings on boulders found in the province of Peru contradict the theory of the origin of mankind. Their age could not be determined, but the first mention of them is known as early as the 15th century. The volcanic rock, processed to smoothness, is covered with drawings in which people come into contact with dinosaurs, which, according to modern science, is simply impossible.
The London Natural History Museum stores archaeological artifacts that do not fit into the history of the development of modern mankind. And one of these incomprehensible objects is the skull of an ancient man with a hole from a wound. firearms. But who could have possessed a gun with gunpowder more than 35 thousand years ago, which was invented much later?
All this kind of archaeological finds do not fit into Darwin's coherent theory of evolution. The same Michael Cremo in his book provides convincing evidence that destroys modern ideas about the age of mankind. For more than eight years, the researcher has been discovering unique artifacts, having made his stunning conclusions. In his opinion, all the finds indicate that the first civilizations originated about six million years ago and lived on Earth beings similar to people. However, scientists hush up all artifacts that contradict the official version. It is argued that man appeared a hundred thousand years ago, and not earlier. “Only when I am presented with convincing data on how the DNA structure of monkeys changed so that humans eventually appeared, I will believe Darwin. But so far not a single scientist has done this, ”said the American archaeologist.
There is enough evidence in the world confirming the existence of highly developed civilizations before the advent of modern man. While these artifacts are carefully hidden, but I want to believe that soon the "forbidden" knowledge will be revealed to everyone and the true history of mankind will no longer be a secret.
At the request of the public
The National Geographic Society, founded in 1888 in the United States, is one of the oldest in the world. Since that time, it has published the famous National Geographic magazine. And now, keeping up with the era, he also publishes daily news on the Internet on his National Geographic News portal.
Society is the most authoritative organization. She is trusted. This is why there are a lot of people who believe that the photographs of the giant skeleton that have been circulating on the Internet for several years now are genuine. Excite the imagination and make you believe in the conspiracies of scientists against civilization. After all, the discovery of a gigantic skeleton is "hung" specifically on the geographical society. Allegedly, its specialists participated in the excavations.
Any sane person can easily guess that the photos are fake, says National Geographic News illustration editor Sebastian John (photo editor Sebastian John). - However, we regularly receive requests that come in hundreds of e-mail from all over the world. Like, tell me, what kind of skeleton is this? True, what did you find? Where is he now? Is it hidden from prying eyes?
Society spokesman James Owen conducted an investigation. And I found, pardon the pun, "where the legs grow from" this skeleton.
Someone is hiding something
At first, the scandalous photo was distributed without any details. They appeared only in 2007 in the Indian magazine Hindu Voice.
Where the correspondent reported that the skeleton of a giant 18 meters tall was discovered in northern India during excavations organized by the National Geographic Society, its Indian branch and with the support of the Indian army.
The publication emphasized that clay tablets with inscriptions were found along with the skeleton. And from them it followed that the giant belonged to a race of superhumans that were mentioned in the Mahabharata (Mahabharata) - an Indian epic of 200 BC.
The editor of the magazine - one P. Deivamuthu - then apologized to the National Geographic Society by sending a letter. Say, he fell for the facts obtained from sources, which, as it has now become obvious, were not trustworthy.
But the thirst for knowledge was already unsatisfied. Information about the "Indian find" crawled out of all Internet slots with new force. And, of course, along with a photo of a giant.
Now things have come to the point where the readers of KP are already demanding the truth. For example, in response to our publication that the remains of gnomes who lived there 39 million years ago were discovered in Asia, someone under the nickname future demanded: “It would be better if archaeologists told about the excavated giant multi-meter skeletons, the skulls of titans. Otherwise, all this is hushed up, hidden ... "
In short, the public suspects a conspiracy. And she's right. There really was a conspiracy. It was organized back in 2002.
There are so many skeletons
As the investigation showed, the photo specifically of the "Indian skeleton" was made by an artistic photoshop specialist from Canada, a certain IronKite. But not for malicious intent, but in the form of participation in the annual competition called "Archaeological Anomalies 2". Where the author was awarded the third place (which works were awarded the first and second prizes, it is not possible to determine now - access to the competition site is closed). Participants were asked to fabricate some amazing archaeological find. Some of them were very talented. And it fell on fertile ground - many do not doubt that giants once lived on Earth.
IronKite reported by mail to National Geographic News that it was only for highly artistic purposes and had nothing to do with subsequent fools. But he does not want to reveal his name. From sin.
The original photograph was also discovered, which served as a kind of background and archaeological entourage for the skeleton. The picture was taken in 2000 in New York's Hyde Park (Hyde Park, New York) at the site of a real excavation. The skeleton of a mastodon, a prehistoric relative of the elephant, was discovered here.
Regarding the "Indian skeleton of a giant" only one thing remained unclear: whose bones played its role?
And the trailblazer IronKite seems to be followed by followers. And now the Internet is full of giant skeletons.

INSTEAD OF A COMMENT
What if giants really lived on Earth?
Excavations show that there was a time when giants lived on Earth. And not lizards, but mammals. Some died out died out a long time ago - at the last glacial period. Others - much later - about a thousand years BC. And people could see them. The giant short-faced bear that lived in Alaska and Chukotka reached almost 5 meters if it stood on its hind legs. By the way, I ran on them at a speed of almost 70 kilometers per hour. No less than a fast bear was a 5-ton giant sloth.
And up to the size of the current hippopotamus, beavers and rats waved. In a word, gigantism is not alien to nature. So why should humans be the exception?
40m Adam, 35m Eve
Giant enthusiasts, among whom are full of very serious scientists, first of all refer to countless myths. Naturally, it is difficult to find a people who would not add up legends about giants - one listing of their national names would take up a whole book page.
What are myths? Here are the lines from the Bible: "At that time there were giants on earth, especially since the time when the sons of God began to enter into the daughters of men, and they began to give birth ..."
Elsewhere in the Bible there is a "report" of the scouts sent by Moses to Palestine: "... There we saw giants ... from a gigantic family; and we were ... before them, like locusts ...".
Calculations show: an ordinary person would seem like a locust to a giant over 50 meters tall.
The Quran also noted. As for the giants, it is said that they were "higher than the highest palms." And they laughed at Noah, who began to build an ark, fleeing from the impending flood. They said: "The flood will not harm us. We are too high ..."
And a strange thing, such revelations were believed, for example, by Carl Linnaeus, the famous Swedish naturalist and creator of the plant and animal world classification system. Somehow he figured out that Adam was 40 meters tall. And Eva was 35 meters.
Mighty Lebanese tilers
Another argument is the strange cyclopean buildings. And the most amazing of them is the Baalbek Terrace in Lebanon, located about a hundred kilometers from Beirut. At its base, archaeologists discovered monolithic stone blocks measuring 21 by 5 by 4 meters. Some weigh 800 tons. And they are fitted so neatly that it is difficult to stick even a needle between the edges. Who, if not the giant tilers, could lay them down? The team of giants may have been involved in the construction of the Egyptian and Mexican pyramids, Stonehenge and the Colossus of Rhodes. She installed huge stone idols on the coast of Easter Island.
And in their free time, the giants played with balls. These "toys" are giant stone spheres called "Los Bolas Grandes" scattered throughout the jungles of Costa Rica ( South America). There are those that weigh 16 tons and reach a diameter of 2.5 meters.
What Turgenev saw
“The bodies were huge, and the faces were so different from ordinary human faces that it was amazing to see them, and it was scary to hear them speak,” this is how the real historian Josephus describes the giants. His colleague, Pausanias, who lived in the 2nd century, tells that a well-preserved human skeleton was found in Syria, more than 5 meters tall.
Ibn Fadlan, an Arab traveler who lived a thousand years ago, allegedly saw a 6-meter skeleton, which was shown to him by the subjects of the Khazar king. A skeleton of the same size, being in Switzerland in the museum of the city of Lucerne, was seen by Russian classic writers Turgenev and Korolenko. They were told that these huge bones were discovered in 1577 in a mountain cave by the physician Felix Platner.
In the Russian chronicles it is said that in the battle on the Kulikovo field, the nomads put up a giant 4 meters tall. But a group of our heroes, led by Oslyaby, overwhelmed him. Perhaps then the last of the giants died.
Only four- or six-meter giants were not the most gigantic. Conquering America, the Spanish commander Canon allegedly discovered in one of the Aztec temples a skeleton as much as 12 meters tall. And sent as a gift to the Pope. And a certain Whitney, who served in the early 19th century as the chief archaeologist for the US government, examined a skull with a diameter of 2 meters. He was found in one of the mines in Ohio. Such a "bowler" had to belong to a person at least 20 meters tall. This is already the scale of the giants from among those who laughed at Noah before the flood.
skeptical opinion
Teeth - and those from monkeys
Baalbek is not the best argument for the existence of giants, says anthropologist Andrei Grinevsky. - Yes, no one can yet explain how the 800-ton stone blocks were laid. But to assume that they were dragged by 20-meter giants is naive. With such growth, you can grab a monolith with a maximum of six. In total, more than 100 tons "per brother". Do not lift. - There are prints of huge feet, - Andrey Viktorovich continues. - The most famous of them is located in South Africa. It was found by local farmer Stoffel Coetzi at the beginning of the last century. A “left footprint” is imprinted into an almost vertical wall to a depth of about 12 centimeters. Its length is 1m 28 centimeters. They assure: "inherited" a man about 10 meters tall. Stepped here hundreds of millions of years ago, when the rock was soft. Then it froze, turned into granite and stood upright due to geological processes.
In my opinion, the footprint only looks like a human one. But there are no clear signs. It could also be left by a stone that later fell out. And a dinosaur.
And the skulls? Skeletons? - I'm interested.
Giant human bones are not exhibited in any museum in the world, the scientist answers. - But enthusiasts, led by historian Michael Baigent, author of the sensational book "Forbidden Archeology", blame representatives of traditional science for this. Like, unique finds were specially hidden. More from sin. Because otherwise we would have to change our views on evolution, and on the entire history of mankind.
And yet there is something gigantic in museums - teeth. In appearance - almost human, but 6 times larger than ours. First discovered in 1935 by the Dutch paleontologist Koenigswald in ... one of the pharmacies in Hong Kong. According to estimates, their owners would have to weigh 350-400 kilograms.
Many "giants" still "trump" these teeth, attributing them to mythical giants - the predecessors of people. However, it is known that in 1956 in South China, in the province of Guangxi, archaeologists dug up three huge jaws with exactly the same teeth at once. And determined that they belonged great apes- the so-called Gigantopithecus. Yes, these primates were huge - almost four meters. Kind of like mini King Kongs. But not by people.
My conclusion: there is no real evidence of the former existence of giants. Some myths, dubious evidence and fraud.
NOT UNCLE STEPA, BUT UNCLE FEDIA
The famous French biologist Jean Rostand wrote in his book "Life" that in 1905 he saw the performance of the Russian giant Makhnov in Paris. He was 285 centimeters tall and weighed 182 kilograms. He had palms of 32 and feet of 51 centimeters. Historians have established that Makhnov is a real person. Belarus. His name was Fedor, he was born near Vitebsk. Possessed great strength - he lifted a village bath around the corner. He died of a cold in 1912 and was buried in Velikanov Khutor. It seems that Fedor was the most tall man on the ground.
Now living giants do not reach Makhnov.
SAID!
"Yes, there were people in our time. Not like the current tribe. Bogatyrs are not you." (Mikhail Lermontov)
About what a person who has discovered an archaeological value or other thing should do, what reward awaits if he "parts" with the find, and in what cases it can become the property of the finder, read the material Sputnik Abkhazia.
Human remains, a bronze helmet, tips, spears and jewelry were found in the village of Achandara, Gudauta region on January 31 local resident Rustam Chkhebelia. Archaeologists suggest that the find belongs to the period of late antiquity and the early Middle Ages. Chkhebelia voluntarily handed over the values to the state.
How to manage the find
Lawyer tells about what should be done to a person who has found ancient archaeological values Oleg Basaria.
"According to the Civil Code of Abkhazia, part one, if a person finds archaeological values, whatever it is, or another find, he is obliged to report it to state structures, that is, this is the administration of the area where he found something, or local police authorities," the lawyer explained.
After that, within six months, if the owner of this thing is found, he must declare his rights to the found thing.
“Of course, he must confirm the fact that he has the right to take this thing for himself. If within six months no one applied for such a thing, then in accordance with the Civil Code, the person who found the thing can take it for himself,” the lawyer notes .
In this case, the finder of a thing will have the right of ownership, says Basaria.
“But the finder can refuse what he found. If he simply refuses, then in this case the found becomes the property of the state, and the state already disposes of this thing at its discretion,” the lawyer comments.
What is due for the find
The Civil Code of Abkhazia provides for a remuneration procedure. A person who has discovered an archaeological value is entitled to receive a monetary "gratitude", which is no more than 20% of the value of the found.
“There is a law aimed at the preservation of historical values, it directly states that if a person has found some kind of archaeological value and transferred it to the state, then the state is obliged to pay him a reward in the manner prescribed by law,” the lawyer noted.
Evaluation of the find is carried out with the involvement of experts.
“These are people who have experience in understanding the properties of things, in understanding their value in archaeological terms. They conduct an examination, including evaluating the cost of things, and its results are transferred to the authorized body,” the lawyer said.
If a person who has found an archaeological value does not declare his find, then he loses the opportunity to acquire property rights if he does not plan to give up what he found in favor of the state, Oleg Basaria emphasized.
Despite the fact that Tutankhamen's tomb was discovered by archaeologists in 1922, something unusual is found in it to this day. For example, recently, among the pharaoh's grave goods, archaeologists discovered a mysterious ring depicting a strange humanoid creature. According to scientists, the god Ptah from ancient Egyptian mythology is depicted on the ring. One thing is not clear - why is it very similar to a humanoid? In the image, the “alien” does not stand on something, but literally floats together with the objects surrounding it. Scientists believe that this is a sign of the possession of extraterrestrial technology. The ring depicts many different objects, the purpose of which is still not clear to scientists. The ring of Tutankhamun dates back to 600 BC, and according to the beliefs of the Egyptians, Ptah existed 5-15 thousand years ago.
An ancient artifact - the blade of a fallen leader fell into the hands of archaeologists. Historians from England arrived at the place where the unique artifact was discovered and recognized it as a legendary sword. Scientists believe that the legend of King Arthur was borrowed by the Saxons from the Italians. The Sienese knight Galgano Guidotti in 1148 plunged his sword into a stone near the ancient abbey in exactly the same way. Archaeologists found this very sword, while being at a loss because of the striking resemblance to the legendary sword. The monks of the abbey of San Galgano Montespi near Siena guard an ancient sword. For hundreds of years, the ancient sword was considered a fake, but thanks to modern technology, it was possible to establish the present time of its manufacture - the 12th century. Historians have even more questions. Scientists cannot
Researchers have come across traces of an unknown technology used in the manufacture of the Dead Sea Scrolls. The "Temple Scroll" differs from other scrolls in that the text is printed on the inside of the animal's skin. The ink was applied to an incomprehensible inorganic layer. Having analyzed chemical composition a small fragment of the Temple Scroll, scientists discovered an incomprehensible mixture of sodium, sulfur and calcium, which was pre-treated with a scroll. The composition applied to the scroll, which makes the scroll rich and elastic, is not identical to the salt water of the Dead Sea. It turns out that this technology could be applied in another region. As a rule, the clean and dried skin of the animal was rubbed with sea salt, which makes it possible for scientists to determine the region where the parchment was created.
The city of Cusco in southeastern Peru was the capital of the Inca Empire in the 11th-16th centuries AD, but people began to settle in these places 3,000 years ago. In the ancient part of the Cusco region, you can see an impressive megalithic fortress complex called Sacsayhuaman. The masonry of the walls of Sacsayhuaman has been the subject of lively discussions for several decades, this is the so-called cyclopean masonry, that is, using stone blocks of enormous weight and size that are very well fitted to each other and without the use of a bonding solution. However, in addition to the walls in Sacsayhuaman, there are unsolved mysteries, and one of them is a huge granite block in which steps have been cut. Granite, by the way, is one of the hardest and therefore very difficult rocks to process. Even with
Pyramids found by archaeologists on the Kola Peninsula prove the existence ancient civilization on Russian territory. Apparently, this civilization is much older than the Egyptian. Currently, archaeological excavations near the pyramids have been resumed on the Kola Peninsula, which, according to preliminary estimates, are at least two times older than the Egyptian ones. The question remains open - who could build these structures? Researchers and scientists of various directions were drawn to the peninsula, hoping to find the answer to this riddle. The last attempt to unravel it was made by researchers last year. Scientists who made an expedition to these places believe that the Kola Peninsula may be the ancestral home of the most ancient civilization on Earth. A weighty argument for this hypothesis are the discovered
The Indians of Ecuador for hundreds of years told legends about the ancient city of giants, which was located somewhere in the wilds of the Amazon, but was long abandoned by its inhabitants and gradually the jungle captured it. According to the legends, a race of giants lived here long before ordinary people came here, and they had not one city, but many. Their civilization flourished. But then something happened. Either the giants did not like the neighborhood with people, or for some reason they began to die out, their cities were empty, and no one knows where the last inhabitants of the mysterious race went. In 2012, a team of researchers hit the trail of one of the cities of giants, having learned from an informant that the Indians from time to time go deep into the jungle to a special place that they consider sacred. Following in the indicated direction,
One of the most important urban legends is the legend of an underground city called Grustina. In this case, we will not talk about any paranormal phenomena or mysticism, the legend of Grustin is interesting in itself. Agree, few cities can boast of such large-scale underground structures, the size of which is comparable to the whole city, and after all, researchers are sure that on the site of modern Tomsk a long time ago stood ancient city and passages from it in different parts of Tomsk can still be found. Some believe that the catacombs served as robbers and marauders to store the loot. Others agree that the underground paths were intended for the needs of the city authorities. And finally, the last theory says that underground paths and structures are part of the ancient city.
The 5,000-year-old megalithic structure "sees" daylight again after 50 years of being under water. The monument, known as the "Spanish Stonehenge", is very similar to its British "colleague", but noticeably smaller in size. It has been considered lost since the 1960s. At that time, the Spanish authorities decided to build a hydroelectric power plant in Peraleda de la Mata (province of Cáceres, Extremadura), and large areas were flooded. But a severe and prolonged drought has led to the fact that the ancient stones again became available to people, according to The Daily Mail. The monument was discovered by the German amateur archaeologist Hugo Obermeier in 1925, but it was hardly explored. Scientists only noted that the stones were probably concentrated around the central area
This tiny human-shaped clay figurine is less than 4 cm long. Discovered in 1889 in Nampa, Idaho, this artifact has been called the Nampa Doll ever since. That year, a group of workers were digging wells, trying to find underground water, and in one of these wells, from a depth of 90 meters, a pump, along with tiny clay balls, pulled out this tiny chrysalis. In appearance, it was definitely a man-made object, and not a game of nature, but at such a depth, even the bones of fossil human ancestors are not often found. Experts date this layer with ancient clay at about 2 million years! And the figurine itself and clay balls immediately guessed such riddles that have not been solved so far. Was it a fake? Doubtful. Could the figurine and balls fall into the well
Not far from the coast of Great Britain, archaeologists discovered a mysterious object, which later turned out to be a very ancient shipyard where ships were built. Reported on the official website of the National Oceanographic Center in Southampton. Underwater archaeologists have discovered fragments of a wooden platform near the Isle of Wight. According to the analysis, the discovered object is approximately 8000 years old. It turns out that this shipyard was built by people who lived in the Stone Age. This is surprising, since for the people of that time the construction of ships was a real "technology from the future." Until now, scientists believed that the oldest shipyard is 5500 years old. Scientists noted that the ancient builders used modern woodworking technologies that could appear then
At the necropolis of the ancient settlement of Mirmekiy near Kerch, archaeologists discovered a unique ancient burial site dating back to the 6th century BC. Experts were surprised not only by the manufacturing technology of the tomb - it was carved in stone, but also by the contents - the sarcophagus is empty. As the head of the Mirmekiy expedition, head of the sector of the northern Black Sea region of the department of the ancient world of the State Hermitage, Alexander Butyagin, told RG, this season, during excavations at the ancient settlement of Mirmekiy, archaeologists discovered three ancient burials related to the first wave Greek colonization peninsulas. “Over the past three years, this is the twelfth open burial at that necropolis,” said Alexander Butyagin. - The unusual thing is that this early necropolis was inside the city walls
Someone firmly believes in the existence of aliens, and someone believes that space civilizations are just fiction. But sometimes even inveterate skeptics are visited by thoughts that without the help of representatives of extraterrestrial civilizations, humanity would not have managed in some matters. There are some ancient structures in the world, the mystery of which scientists cannot unravel to this day. Sometimes people wonder if this is the work of aliens? Sacsayhuaman Sacsayhuaman is the former capital of the Inca Empire. The monumental fortresses of the city are built from huge and incredibly heavy boulders, each of which weighs about 360 tons. Scientists have been trying to understand for many years, but they can’t understand how people lifted these heavy blocks and put them on top of each other? Another mystery is how building materials were delivered to their destination
History of the past. It happens that discovered ancient artifacts that are hidden from us pose unresolvable questions to scientists. Is humanity much older than official science believes? Have aliens visited Earth? How advanced were ancient civilizations? There are no definitive answers yet. What are these artifacts that hide from us, that baffle scientists?
fossil giants
There are famous artifacts that indicate that people of extraordinary size existed on Earth. Isn't that the origin of the story of Jack climbing the Beanstalk into the Land of the Giants?
In the state of Nevada (USA), the local Indians had legends about red-haired giants almost four meters tall (12 feet). Tales told of how brave warriors killed giants in caves. Excavations corroborate these stories. A giant jaw has been found, several times larger than a human. 1931 added two skeletons about three meters tall to the finds
In the Pacific River, located in the state of Texas, they found fossil footprint of a woman's foot 35 cm long and 18 cm wide. The height of a person was about three meters.
In England, in the town of Antrim, earthworks brought a surprise. At the end of the nineteenth century there was 12-foot giant discovered . Luckily, he has long since petrified. The giant's right hand turned out to be six-fingered.
Artifacts out of time
Another type of finds makes fans rub their hands rather more ancient than it is commonly believed, the history of mankind. These are figurines, strange discs and drawings, suggesting that our ancestors had a much greater store of knowledge than their time allowed.
Ica stones - artifacts from Peru. First discovered in the 1960s by Dr. Javier Cabrera. An interested researcher has amassed a large collection of artifacts of this kind. The stones depict scenes with dinosaurs and other ancient creatures, alien saucers and strange humanoids. In general, everything that can now be found on the Internet on request "unknown". Dating is thirty thousand years.
Figurines of astronauts from Ecuador are about two thousand years old. The images are easily recognizable, although they look sketchy. Were aliens in space suits visiting Earth at that time? We can only guess where such artifacts came from, which are not even hidden from us.
Aiuda aluminum wedge found on the banks of the Maros River, in Transylvania. The remains of an ancient mastodon, which turned out to be 20 thousand years old, lay right there. It is characteristic that aluminum was discovered only in 1808. The wedge was made without impurities from pure material.
Vase with images of flowers found in an explosion in a quarry. The artifact is unremarkable, except for its age - 600 million years. This is how the rock containing the vase is dated.
Bootprint with trilobite. There could not have been modern shoes, and even more so people 600-250 million years old.
Undefined artifacts
In some cases, associations do not allow even an approximate idea of the purposes for which this or that ancient object served.
Disc Sabu found by the famous Egyptologist Walter Bryan in the 1930s during the excavation of the burial place of Mastaba Sabu, who lived on earth in the third millennium BC. This is a thin stone plate with three curved edges. A cylindrical bushing is visible in the center. It is believed that the disk was part of some mysterious ancient mechanism.
On strange corrugated spheres lucky to stumble upon miners from South Africa. Some of the balls are an inch in diameter (about three centimeters) covered with parallel lines, others are filled with a white spongy substance. Artifacts have been found in rock dating back almost three billion years!
Thin disks of jade found in Chinese graves belonging to noblemen. Why they were put there more than 5 thousand years ago remains a mystery. Jade is a stone of great strength and its processing in those days would have been fraught with difficulties.
Artifacts that are hidden from us can shock and bewilder. It is worth maintaining a skeptical attitude, because sooner or later there will be a scientific answer to every riddle. Dating errors, falsification of drawings on ancient stones, bones of huge animals of the past, mistaken for human ones. This is far from full list explanations of the mysterious finds of archaeologists. Old times are fraught with many secrets that have yet to be discovered and understood. Ancient artifacts will pose various questions to scientists. Perhaps stories? Not a single riddle hidden in the thickness of the rocks will hide from archaeologists.
