Strange lines in the desert of China

These strange lines are found in the desert of China's Gansu Shen province. Their coordinates are 40 ° 27'28.56 "N, 93 ° 23'34.42" E. Almost nothing is known about this strange but very beautiful mosaic pattern. Unofficial records state that they appeared in 2004. It should be noted that these lines are next to the Mogao Caves, which are a World Heritage Site. The pattern retains its proportions despite its enormous size and uneven surface. Similar pictures can be seen if you enter other coordinates + 40 ° 27 "10.64" + 93 ° 44 "33.79"

In 1889, while drilling a well in the town of Nampa, Idaho, a discovery was made that excited the scientific world of the last century. A small human figurine was found at a depth of 320 feet, which was definitely human-made. The whole mystery is that the figurine, judging by the depth at which it was found, was here long before the appearance of people in this part of the world. However, the find did not cause violent controversy among scientists. They simply stated that this could not be.

Egypt is home to the oldest astronomically verified stone structure in the world. It is called Nabta and is located in the Sahara Desert. A thousand years before the creation of Stonehenge, people formed a circle of cobblestones on the shore of a lake that had long since dried up. More than 6 thousand years ago, workers had to drag three-meter stone slabs over a distance of over one kilometer. The photo shows the stones that have survived to our time. There is evidence that in the past there were several wet periods (when the average annual precipitation reached 550 mm), the last of which fell on the last interglacial (130 thousand years ago) and the beginning of the last ice age (70 thousand years ago). During this time, there was a savanna, in which the now extinct bison and large giraffes lived, as well as different kinds antelopes and gazelles. Starting from about the 10th millennium BC. the lake began to fill up due to heavy rainfall. Most likely, the water source attracted the first settlers. The first human settlements date back to about 10-8 millennia BC.

In the summer of 1998, Russian scientists, exploring a 300-kilometer site southwest of Moscow in search of meteorite fragments, found a stone that enclosed an iron bolt. According to geologists, the age of the stone is 300-320 million years. But in those days, there weren't even dinosaurs here, let alone intelligent life. The bolt, in which the head with the rod is clearly visible, has a length of about a centimeter and a width of about three millimeters.

This ancient rock art from a cave in Japan dates back more than 5000 BC.

Even NASA can't explain it. It remains only to wonder at the stones moving along the bottom of the dried-up Lake Racerek Playa, which is located in the Valley of Death. This completely flat lake, which is covered with cracked clay, stretches 2.5 miles (approx. 4 km.) From north to south and 1.25 miles (approx. 2 km.) From west to east. Stones (some weigh hundreds of kilograms) slide over the clay surface, leaving a wake trail behind them. No one has yet been able to witness this phenomenon.

The 12-foot petrified giant was found in 1895 during mining operations in the English city of Antrim. Photos of the giant are taken from the British magazine "Strand" for December 1895. He is 12'2 '' (3.7 m) high, 6'6 '' (2m) chest girth, and 4'6 '' (1.4m) arms. It is noteworthy that there are 6 toes on his right foot. Six fingers and toes are reminiscent of the people mentioned in the Bible (2nd Book of Samuel): “There was also a battle in Gath; and there was one tall man who had six fingers and toes, twenty-four in all. "

Scientists continue to explore the ruins of megaliths in the so-called Yucatan Strait, located in the region of Cuba. The ruins stretch for miles along the coast. American archaeologists who found this place immediately announced that they had found Atlantis (already many times in the history of underwater archeology). From time to time, scuba divers visit the ruins, but the rest can be content only with video filming or computer reconstruction of the city of the "golden age", buried under water.

There is an Indian legend about 12-foot (3.6 m) red-haired giants who lived in the area of ​​Nevada. It talks about American Indians killing giants in a cave. During the excavation of guano, a huge jaw was found. The photo compares two jaws: a found one and a normal human. In 1931, two skeletons were found at the bottom of the lake. One was 8 feet (2.4 m) high and the other was just under 10 feet (approx. 3 m).

In 1974, an aluminum wedge covered with a thick layer of oxide was found on the banks of the Maros River, which is near the city of Ayud in Transylvania. It is noteworthy that it was found among the remains of a mastodon, which is 20 thousand years old. Usually find aluminum with impurities of other metals, but the wedge was of pure aluminum. It is impossible to find an explanation for this find, since aluminum was discovered only in 1808, and began to be produced in industrial quantities only in 1885. Wedge is still being investigated in some secret place.

Lolladoff's plate is a 12,000-year-old stone disc found in Nepal. Apparently not only Egypt was visited by aliens in ancient times. It clearly depicts a UFO in the shape of a saucer. Also on the disc there is a drawing of a creature that resembles the "Grays" - gray aliens.

Someone is constantly faced with miracles, for someone - these are fairy tales, nevertheless, paranormal things happen in our lives, and this is the same reality as, say, rain or snow, which seem so commonplace to us. (site)

Alien artifacts

On the evening of January 29, 1986, a strange event took place near the Far Eastern town of Dalnegorsk. A large luminous "meteorite" crashed into the hill at great speed. The top of this hill is visible here from all corners of the city, so almost all local residents have witnessed something mysterious. Later, on the hill, lights began to burn, resembling welding. January did not allow us to immediately approach the glow, which lasted, as the locals say, about an hour. Only three days later, the researchers managed to climb to the top and see strange fragments, clearly melted under the influence of high temperatures. Surprisingly, at the same time, at a distance of several centimeters from the fallen celestial body, the bushes and trees remained unharmed.

The collision with the rock left many interesting artifacts, chemical composition which turned out to be extremely rare, if not completely atypical for the Earth. For example, balls and structures were found that resemble a grid in their structure. Many of them had a high melting point, although they appeared to be plastic. Scientists have suggested that such chemical compounds are almost impossible to obtain in the natural conditions of our planet. Then - what is it? ..

Annabelle doll

These events formed the basis of the American horror film "The Curse of Annabelle". In 1970, an American student celebrated her birthday. Mom gave her a large old doll, which she bought in an antique shop. A few days later they started. Every morning, the girl carefully laid the doll on the bed in the apartment she rented with her friend. The toy's arms were at the seams, and the legs were stretched out. But in the evening, the doll took a completely different position. For example, the legs were crossed and the hands were on the knees. The doll could also be seen in unexpected places of the dwelling.

The girls came to the logical conclusion that during their absence a stranger with a strange sense of humor visits the apartment. It was decided to conduct an experiment and seal the windows and doors in such a way that the attacker left traces after the visit. None of the traps worked, and the oddities with the doll continued to happen. Moreover, bloody spots began to appear on the doll. Naturally, the police, who were involved a little later in this strange case, could not help the girls in any way. I had to turn to a medium. He said that once upon a time a seven-year-old girl died on the site of this dwelling, whose spirit was playing with this doll, thereby giving some signs, for example, requests for help. But then something terrible began to happen to the doll.

Once a friend of theirs was visiting the girls. Suddenly a noise was heard from the adjacent empty room. When the guys looked out the door, there was no one in it, and a doll was lying on the floor. Suddenly the guy screamed and grabbed chest... Blood stains appeared on his shirt. The chest was all scratched. The girls left the apartment on the same day and turned to a couple of famous esotericists, Warren, who were engaged in research. It turned out that Annabelle is not just a doll, but some evil entity that took advantage of the girls' trust. The Warrens performed a cleansing ceremony, after which terrible things in the apartment no longer appeared. The girls themselves happily gave the doll to their saviors for eternal safekeeping.

Rubber blocks

Over the past thirty years, they have been regularly discovered on the shores of Europe. These are rectangular rubber blocks with rounded edges and the inscription "TJIPETIR". It turned out that this word was used to refer to an Indonesian rubber plantation that existed at the beginning of the last century. But how to explain the appearance of these products on the other side of the planet? Experts suggest that the plates are washed from the sunken merchant ship.

Photos from open sources

But in this case, very mysterious oddities can be traced. Firstly, plates appear in England, Sweden, Denmark, Belgium, France, which indicates a huge number of blocks during the shipwreck. Such an impressive consignment of cargo should be reflected in any archival documents, but none were found. Secondly, the rubber was made 100 years ago, but, to the surprise of the researchers of this phenomenon, it is very well preserved. Are these plates really made of? ..

Many believe that humanity is suffering from a strange species amnesia. We have certain facts about our past, stating how long our species existed, when we got out of the caves, found speech, created the first tools and when the species with which we shared this planet became extinct. And we accept these facts as an indisputable truth, despite the fact that some of them began as tales, which were later confirmed.

However, to this day, various indigenous tribes have beliefs that run counter to official science. And although scientists claim that these legends are only works of art by folk craftsmen, every day we see how various myths are embodied in reality. For example, what do you say about the stories about " big polar bear"living in the highlands of China?" Fiction"- said people, until a French missionary brought his skin. Bam! - the mystical animal has become a familiar giant panda. Then scientists say that they have records that say with absolute certainty which species are extinct, and - bam! - in 1938 coelacanth is caught in the ocean, which, according to their assurances, disappeared from the face of the Earth as much as 66 million years ago.

15. Indian civilization

At first the existence of the unknown ancient civilization on the territory of modern Pakistan was taken lightly - rumors and rumors. And then in 1842, some archaeologist reported that he had found some ruins. This discovery was ignored until 1856, when during the laying railroad unearthed the remains of a hitherto unseen civilization. Now, after numerous archaeological expeditions, we have learned quite a lot about the Indian civilization. The artifacts found indicate a high level of development of those who lived here in 3300 BC. society.

The main difficulty faced by scientists is the impossibility of decoding their language. Although the Harrap writings are incomplete, researchers unanimously believe that the Harrap people had a language, and, judging by the available evidence, it was written. However, this is a controversial point, because it would mean that the Indians mastered writing before anyone else who lived in this area. Also, some artifacts hint at the possible use of typography, and if this is confirmed, then the Indian civilization will outstrip the Chinese in terms of development by 1500 years.

14. History of the Olmecs

The mysterious people of the Olmecs, according to legend, lived somewhere in present-day Mexico in 1100 BC, which makes them the oldest Central American civilization. Until the early 1990s, little was known about them, while the group local residents from the city of Veracruz did not unearth a well-preserved stone tile, speckled with ancient inscriptions - much older than anything found before. She became the greatest archaeological find. Scientists have studied the inscriptions on the stone and made some amazing discoveries. First, the artifact belonged to the mysterious Olmec civilization. Further, the experts concluded that the text was so well structured that it contains all the signs of meaningful sentences, error corrections and even verse lines. Moreover, the nature of the markings suggests that this tile is private. " copy"of the specified text. If this is true, then there must still be different" the documents", records, trade routes or even ancient literature awaiting Columbus!

The only drawback is the inability to decipher the Olmec language. It is unlike any previously discovered American writing system. Without a document, like the Rosetta stone from Egypt, it is almost impossible to understand this ancient people. For researchers, this task is similar to the study of the Indian civilization, only worse. And although the found tablet is so far the first and only document on the North American continent, experts are sure that the Olmecs could write complex stories, detailed reports and even a religious calendar with detailed description traditions. We have yet to find out what happened to this civilization after 300 BC, and it will possibly be one of the greatest historical discoveries of the near future. It is worth noting that the Olmecs are included in the rating of 10 mystically disappeared civilizations.

Probably, almost everyone has heard the legend about King Arthur - a knight who pulled out a sword from a stone that no one else could lift. Some desperate romantics believe that Arthur is a real person, and based on knowledge, we cannot completely deny this. It is known for certain that in life there really is a sword in stone - maybe it became the source of inspiration for the legend?

The real sword was found in the Monte Ciepi chapel in the Abbey of San Galgaro, located in Tuscany, Italy. The story goes that Saint Galgano Guidotti began his life as an evil and cruel knight. In 1180 he was met by the Archangel Michael, who told Guidotti to give up his sinful life and follow the path of God. At first he refused, but then he drove through Monte Ciepi - then just a rocky hill. A voice from heaven called to him, which said that now is the time to change. The knight replied that it was like " cut a rock with a sword".

And to show the impracticability of the request, he drove his sword into the stone. And instead of breaking, the blade entered the cobblestone. Not believing what had happened, he fell to his knees and began to pray at this very stone like at the altar from now on. About a year later, Galgano died and was canonized in 1185 by Pope Lucius III. The church was erected around that same sword in stone. True, now it is covered with a durable plastic cover so that no one wants to become the king of England.

One of the most controversial artifacts is the Sealand skull. It was found in 2007 in Elstücke, Denmark, during a pipe change. At first, no one paid much attention to it, but later, in 2010, it was examined at the Danish Veterinary College and ... Researchers could not establish whose it was, since it did not fit any species known to science. This skull raised many questions that scientists cannot answer, but some of them are trying to get complete information about the artifact. Paleontologists believe that this is the skull of some mammal, possibly a horse, however, a more detailed study showed that the owner of the skull does not fit the Linnaean taxonomy. A radiocarbon scan carried out in Copenhagen at Niels Bohr University showed that an unknown specimen lived somewhere between 1200-1280 BC.

Further excavations at the site of the find, unfortunately, did not yield anything interesting. It's a pity, because the skull is quite interesting.: Compared to the human skull, it has many notable differences. For example, the eye sockets of the Sealand specimen are much larger, deeper and more rounded, and go more to the sides. In humans, the eyes are set in the center. His nostrils, like his chin, are narrow, but overall the skull is larger than the average human. The surface of the skull is smooth, which scientists see as an adaptation for survival in low temperatures. Based on the size of the eyeballs, scientists believe that the Sealand specimen was nocturnal. But what is this creature? Alien? Or some previously unknown subspecies of people? It is to be hoped for the results of future research.

11.German submarine UB-85 was sunk by a sea monster

During the First World War, there was a story about a German submarine, which, according to legend, was attacked by a sea monster, which made it no longer able to go to depth. We are talking about the UB-85 submarine and its commander Gunther Krech. In April 1918, a British patrol ship approached a surfaced submarine. The Germans surrendered immediately. The ship's captain, Gunther Krech, was interrogated and recounted this strange incident.

At night, the submarine surfaced to charge the batteries. And suddenly a strange creature attacked her, which, according to Krekh, had a small head and fangs glistening in the moonlight. A huge monster tried to bank the ship, but the team managed to scare it off with rifle and machine gun fire and prevent more damage. Actually, that is why the Germans could not go to the depths and escape from the patrol ship. As a result, various reports stated that the submarine either sank or was destroyed by a British patrol.

The submarine and its history have become part of sea tales. It was believed that such a ship did not exist until in October of this year a Scottish cable-laying operator found something similar to the legendary UB-85 in the North Sea while laying a power cable. Acoustics showed that the ship was not seriously damaged. It is planned to conduct further research and find out what happened to the submarine. Was she really attacked by a sea monster?

Another controversial artifact is the Manx penny. This coin was found on August 18, 1957, in an archaeological quarry while exploring American Indian culture near Brooklyn, Maine. As many as 30,000 magnificent artifacts have been discovered, but one of them is especially notable among them, not belonging to Native American culture - the Manx penny. Some researchers consider it a fake, others - proof that Europeans came to this continent even in pre-Columbian times.

Scientists argue about the origin of this coin. It was definitely not made by American Indians, and some even believed that it was brought from England in the 12th century. Later studies claim that the artifact is of Scandinavian origin and was made in the 11th century. The University of Oslo confirmed that such coins were in circulation in Norway in 1060-1080 BC. Now the Manx penny ass in National Museum Maine, whose authorities remain silent and cannot officially confirm either the origin or even the authenticity of the artifact. This unusual find will torture the minds of scientists for a long time - how many are there and how did they get here?

Historians claim that the first human civilizations began to build villages, engage in agriculture and erect temples only in 8000 BC, but is this really so? This amazing discovery challenges conventional wisdom about anthropogenesis. The discovery took place in 1994 in the countryside of Göbekli Tepe in Turkey. At the top of the mountain range, there are more than 200 large stone pillars up to 18 meters high and weighing about 20 tons each. They are arranged in a series of twelve rings depicting various animals. The find is dated 12000 BC. Yes, this Turkish altar is thousands of years older than Stonehenge! Perhaps even this oldest place worship in the world.

Various evidence indicates that the site was built by ancient nomadic hunter-gatherers who had not yet mastered Agriculture... Modern science believes that at this level of development, people still did not know anything about the complex symbolic systems, social hierarchy and the division of labor - the prerequisites for the construction of this gigantic temple with an area of ​​89,000 m2. In theory, religion should arise after people move from hunting and gathering to agriculture and livestock farming, but this finding may argue otherwise.

Thus, the question arises - maybe the need for construction was the reason why people settled, began to build communities and began to look for a constant source of food, which invented agriculture? If so, how did the ancient nomads do it? How did they manage to do this thousands of years before anyone else? And finally, who are these people and where did they go? Archaeologists cannot answer yet.

8. Did humans live side by side with dinosaurs?

Dinosaurs became extinct about 65 million years ago, millions of years before humans first appeared. And in this case, it is very strange that scientists find artifacts with amazingly accurate images of dinosaurs, as if written from life. Example? The 12th century Angkor Wat temple in Cambodia. A detailed image of a stegosaurus is engraved on one of the walls, despite the fact that the first recorded find of fossil remains of these reptiles was found only at the beginning of the 19th century. And how did the artists of antiquity manage to portray extinct lizards so reliably?

Another example that baffles archaeologists is the stones from the city of Ica. According to the documents, they were found in Peru, in a cave near the aforementioned town. These mysterious artifacts were received by the Peruvian archaeologist Professor Javier Cabrera in 1961 as a gift. Taking a closer look at the stone, he discovered an image of an ancient fish that became extinct millions of years ago, according to official sources. The find amazed the professor so much that he decided to find out more about it. The drawing was done on a piece of andesite, a dark gray / black volcanic rock that is very hard and hard to work, especially with primitive tools of antiquity.

Fossils found in the same area confirm that the recovered artifacts are millions of years old. Professor Karbera collected several hundred stones from the caves in Ica and found on some of them images of living brachiosaurs, tyrannosaurs and triceratops, and on another - a predatory dinosaur devouring an ancient aborigine. Radiocarbon scanning is not the most accurate method, because sometimes dinosaur fossils are too old to extract any information from them ... So maybe people really caught ancient dinosaurs, as these artifacts say?

Many different publications rang about the Crimean pyramids found in 1999 by Vitaly Gokh, who resigned from the Soviet Army thirty years ago. After retiring to the reserve, he began research activities, which led him to the Crimean peninsula, where an amazing find took place. Goh suggested that if there are flooded villages in the Black Sea, then there must be other ancient buildings. But the region is just a storehouse of archaeological values ​​of various cultures - ancient Greek, Roman, Ottoman and others.

As an engineer by profession, he knew how to use instruments operating on the principle of magnetic resonance, and decided to test his hypothesis. And she was confirmed. Goh found an area of ​​seven limestone pyramids along the southern coast of the peninsula. The largest of them is 45 meters high with a base length of 72 meters and had a truncated top, like the Mayan pyramids. And all seven buildings form a straight line running from northwest to southeast. Goh claims that there may be as many as 39 pyramids under water.

In his opinion, these are the most ancient structures on Earth, built in the era of the dinosaurs. However, before rewriting history, many more excavations and studies of various documents will have to be done - most scientists believe that Goch's hypothesis has nothing to do with reality, and his find may be much younger. Fortunately, the Russian researcher is already seeking funding to further develop the found pyramids.

Well ... Strictly speaking, the Salzburg cube is not a cube at all, which is why it is sometimes called the Wolfsegg iron nugget. This interesting artifact was found in 1885 near Wolfsegg am Hausruck in Austria. They say that this interesting egg-shaped object was found by a miner while mining coal for a steel workshop. The find was covered with potholes and a deep groove encircling it, had sharp edges and weighed about 800 grams with dimensions of 6.6 x 6.6 x 4.7 cm. Chemical analysis showed that " egg"consists of alloy steel with the addition of nickel and carbon, and the absence of sulfur showed that it was not pyrite. By all indications, it was a man-made product, carved from a single piece of iron. And all would be fine, but the artifact was found in coal deposits aged 20 -60 million years That's a problem!

And how could such an intricately decorated piece of iron have appeared millions of years before the official appearance of humans? Scientists have been struggling with this mystery for over a hundred years. Some scientists believe that the artifact is a fake, others that it is a gift from guests from outer space, and still others claim that it is a meteorite. For many years, the Salzburg cube passed from one research center to another, but now this mysterious object is located in Austria, in the Regional Museum of Vöcklabruck.

5. Who is this "terrible Bigfoot"?

"Terrible Bigfoot"or Yeti, Bigfoot's cooler brother. He's the most insoluble cryptozoological mystery. Lots of witnesses, footprints and blurry videos made people think that something is happening in the Himalayas. And it seems that one of the British geneticists even knows The researcher's name is Dr. Brian Sykes, and he is a professor of genetics at the University of Oxford. In 2013, he completed the deciphering of DNA samples believed to be Yeti. In particular, one of the hairs was found in the western Himalayan region called Ladakh, and the other - from the state of Bhutan, which is about 860 km from there.

A sample from Ladakh was taken from the mummified remains of an unknown creature killed forty years ago by a local hunter. The second hair is the only hair found 10 years ago in a Bhutanese bamboo forest while filming a documentary. Professor Sykes compared DNA samples with those stored in the worldwide repository of genetic samples of various creatures - including extinct ones - GenBank... The researcher thought that here he could find similar samples. And the result amazed him and greatly puzzled him.

The scans showed that both samples completely match the DNA of an ancient polar bear, whose jawbone was found in Norway. The age of the bone is approximately 40-120 thousand years. Sykes says that this is exactly the time when polar and brown bears became two different species. Perhaps the Yeti is a subspecies of brown bears that lead life from a polar ancestor! Really " terrible bigfoot“finally identified?” Dr. Sykes is confident that both hair samples from different ends of the Himalayas belong to the same animal. Additional research and expeditions will be needed to confirm that it is the source of the legends about the Bigfoot.

4. Where did the Egyptians get cocaine from?

Not wanting to risk their reputation for " discoveries of cocaine", the scientists commissioned an independent laboratory to carry out the same tests on several mummies. The results were confirmed: the mummies were just stuffed with cocaine and tobacco. And German scientists began to study more and more mummies, and found traces of tobacco in almost a third of them, and inside the mummy of Ramses II (the same one known from the biblical story " Exodus", about Moses and the Ten Commandments) there were tobacco leaves and a petrified tobacco beetle! And this is not a joke. It seems that Ramses II was a heavy smoker. But where did the ancient Egyptians get such substances? After all, there are no records of the Egyptians' travel to unknown distances, and indeed there is evidence of drug use, too, and it seems that scientists will not be able to solve this puzzle any time soon.

3. "Giant Codex"

Codex Gigas, which is translated from Latin as " Giant book"- no more, - the largest ancient manuscript in the world. According to historians, the book was written in the 13th century in a Benedictine monastery in the Czech city of Podlažice, then during the Thirty Years War in 1648 it was captured by the Swedish army and is now in the National Library of Sweden in Stockholm This tome was made from over 160 animal skins and can be lifted by two people.

The book contains full text The Vulgate - the generally accepted Latin translation of the Bible by the Blessed Jerome of Stridon - as well as many other Latin works, including " Jewish antiquities"Josephus Flavius, a collection of works of Hippocrates on medicine," Czech chronicle"Kozma Prazhsky," Beginnings"Isidore of Seville. In addition, there were texts for the rites of exorcism, magic formulas and descriptions of the Kingdom of God. And of course, a full-size image of Satan, because of which the book was named" Devilish Bible".

Legend has it that the monk who wrote this book made a deal with the Devil after he was sentenced to be buried alive in a wall. Thanks to Satan, who left his portrait on the pages of the Bible, the monk was able to finish the book in one night. Researchers reviewing the book concluded that the writing in the book is fairly uniform and clear, as if the book had actually been written in a very short time. However, this is impossible, because you would have to write continuously for five years in a row. Scientists generally believe that this code required over thirty years of work on it. However, it must be remembered that some monks could receive punishment in the form of copying sacred texts. The skill and perseverance with which this is done, now you will not meet ... Or maybe there really is an evil spirit involved?

2. Bosnian Pyramid of the Sun

Finding pyramids in Bosnia could be the greatest archaeological discovery in Europe. According to the statements of Dr. Semir Osmanagich, head. Department of Anthropology of the American University in Bosnia and Herzegovina, the found pyramid may be the oldest man-made object on Earth (however, this title may also go to the Crimean pyramids). Dr. Osmanagich discovered her back in 2005, when he was passing through the city of Visoko. The mysterious hill stood out strongly from the surrounding landscape, which attracted the attention of the anthropologist.

The structure is called the Pyramid of the Sun and the Moon and its height is 220 meters, which is much higher than the Pyramid of Cheops in Giza. And the most amazing thing about the Bosnian pyramid is that it points north with an error of only 12 arc seconds. Too accurate to be a coincidence, as the Great Pyramid of Giza has exactly the same positioning accuracy. The Pyramid of Cheops is located at the intersection of the longest parallel and the longest meridian, that is, exactly above the center of mass of the Earth. Moreover, the edges of its base are located exactly on the cardinal points. The location is too precise to go unnoticed. And then suddenly there is a similar pyramid. How did it happen? Was there really a connection between two ancient civilizations? It will take years to answer a question that may change mainstream science forever.

1. "Big bowl"

Fuente Magna is a large stone vessel that looks like a tub or bowl, was found in 1958 by an unknown farmer near Lake Titicaca in Bolivia. Subsequently, the artifact was sent to the Museum. precious metals La Paz, where he lay for nearly forty years, until two researchers tried to study him. The vessel has beautiful engravings with animals and inscriptions in Sumerian cuneiform. And this raised a lot of questions. How could an artifact with Sumerian cuneiform end up in the Andes, because there are thousands of kilometers between them? Archaeologists are trying to decipher ancient scripts, but they have no idea what kind of cuneiform was used.

Ancient cuneiform specialist, Dr. Clyde Winters, claims that the bowl is possibly of ancient Sumerian origin and is similar to the artifacts found in Mesopotamia. He also notes that a similar cuneiform script was used 5,000 years ago by the ancient peoples of the Sahara: the Dravids, Elamites, and even the early Sumerians. All these civilizations were formed in Central Africa before the beginning of its desertification in 3500 BC. Dr. Winters translated some of the letters, and their significance surprised many.

The bowl was a ritual libation vessel in the name of Ni-Ash, the Sumerian goddess of fertility. Nia is a Sumerian transcription of the name of the Egyptian goddess Neith, who was worshiped by many peoples that formed in Libya and parts of Central Africa. The found vessel allows us to build new hypotheses about the previously not discussed connection between the Sumerians and Bolivians.

I was 13 years old. My parents sent me and my cousin to the village to our great-grandmother. Let's say your sister's name is Anya. Anya is 3 years older than me, but this did not prevent us from communicating on equal terms, because at that time we both liked to play dandy and "guess". And we, having seen this training in the movie "Starship Troopers", developed our intuition, alternately showing each other a card in order to “feel” what is depicted on it (only cards with “pictures” were used and only two suits - spades and hearts) ... That day I guessed 28 cards out of 30. I was wrong on cards 16 and 30.

Anya was very impressed by this, and we decided to test my intuition in other ways. First, she hid behind the closet and showed the fingers of one hand. Out of ten times (according to her), I have never been mistaken. Then she stood at the rack and poked at the bindings of the books with her finger, and I had to, blindfolded, determine what color it was. I was wrong two times out of ten. Suddenly a suspicion crept into my thoughts that my sister was deceiving me. After all, how can this be! Then I pushed aside the bandage and began to call the wrong colors and my sister really said - "no, no, no."

Then I closed my eyes again and felt some kind of echo in my head. I started guessing again.
Anya was delighted, I was terrified. I told her I was tired and we sat down to play dandy. We played teenage mutant ninja turtles (fight against each other), and if usually our forces were equal, and the one who first did the combo or super-hit won, then this time I just thoughtlessly pressed the keys and defeated her.

Then, the two of us went to cut firewood. Hand saw, long, for two. We lifted the trunk of a birch tree onto a goat and began to saw it into logs, so that later grandfather would chop them up. We loved to saw, because we liked the smell of sawdust, and the kind of sparks from them - we fanatically collected them and burned them in the fire, pretending that we were witches.
When we finished the birch, I found that I had rubbed a sickly corn on thumb... Anya bandaged my finger with a plantain (as without it in the village), and I went to lie down.

It turned out that I fell asleep. I woke up from the hum of a cow returning from the pasture in the yard. My bandage, a deck of cards on the table, and all sorts of notes with drawings (which I also guessed) reminded me of what was during the day. I jumped off the couch and ran to look for Anya. She was in the yard - washing her feet in a basin. When I approached her, a dialogue took place between us:
Anya: Wow, were you asleep or what?
Me: Well, yes, something melted after that, - I waved in the direction of the birch blocks near the garage wall.
Anya: Wow, did you cut it yourself or something?
I almost laughed, showed it my bandaged finger:
- Yeah, one. Have you forgotten how we sawed for two hours?
Then Anya dropped the ladle from her hands and looked at me in dismay.
Anya: Are you kidding? I've been at Aunt Sasha's all day!
It was my turn to be surprised: How is it with Aunt Sasha? And the cards, and the books, and the firewood? I briefly told her everything that we did with her today, but she only turned pale and opened her eyes wider and wider.
There was a pause, which was broken by the very aunt Sasha, who entered our gate:
- Oh, girls, oh what beauties you are. And you, Anechka, are generally lovely! Helped me so today!
She waved to us, entered the house and screamed. We ran to her, she stood with her elbows against the wall and held on to her heart.

Seeing us, she stared at Anya and began to cross herself and lament something. And then she fainted.
The ambulance arrived only two hours later, and the aunt regained consciousness in the hospital the next day. It turned out that she had heart attack... They did not operate on her, they gave some pills and ordered to lie down for ten days in the hospital. All this time she forbade Anya and me to come to her.
My sister and I were going crazy. I didn't even want to think about anything mystical, especially after our grandmother said, according to Aunt Sasha, we are possessed, and laughed (although the grandmother was a believer, she was adequate).
Finally, Aunt Sasha was released from the hospital. We bought her favorite halva and came to her home.

She said that it is only thanks to the sedatives that she can talk to us now. We sat down to drink tea and she said that when she went into the house that day and screamed, she saw Anya on the veranda. Only Anya did not look like herself - her hair was tangled, wet, there were bruises under her eyes, and her skin was gray with some dark spots on her arms and legs. And this Anya raised her index finger to her lips, apparently so that Aunt Sasha would not scream. And when we ran into the aunt's screams, this second Anya simply disappeared into thin air.

Halva stood across our throats. We quickly said goodbye and left. Anya took my hand and we went home.
After that, we did not think about it until the end of the summer. And on August 28, Anya was beaten, raped and pushed into the reeds. When the evening fishing boats found her, she was unconscious, covered with bruises and her long hair was tangled and wet. I was already in the city, but people described it like that.

I came to her for the fall holidays. She did not go to the university, which she entered at the beginning of the summer, because after what happened for a long time she could not communicate with the guys. Stupidly sat at home and watched TV shows.
We sat at the table with my parents, and then went to her room. And she told me something that after almost 15 years my blood still runs cold: on the night when she was in the hospital, she had a dream, how she and I guess the cards, the colors of the books, that she draws pictures for me, then she and I sawed a birch, and then she sees Aunt Sasha entering the house and recalls that this is the same day, and instinctively brings her finger to her lips, and then she woke up.

Yes, I could refer to the fact that she dreamed it because I had already told her all this, but there is one thing: Anya told me that day in great detail, and even that I did not guess the book covers several times in a row what kind of books she showed, where she plucked this plantain leaf (under the currant bush, although it grows all over the yard), and I remember that I did not tell such details.

Since then, nothing so strange has happened to me. A couple of times it happened that I heard an echo in my head and stopped abruptly - at that very second, right in front of me, either a layer of snow fell from the roof, or a gazelle was driving along the opposite lane, coming out of nowhere, but it could be a coincidence. And now everything is fine with Anya. She already has two children, she is happily married and lives a completely normal life.

The Sahara Desert in Egypt contains the oldest known astronomically aligned stones in the world: Nabta. A thousand years before the creation of Stonehenge, people built a stone circle and other structures on the shore of a lake that had dried up long ago. More than 6,000 years ago, stone slabs three meters high were dragged over a kilometer to create this place. The stones depicted are just a part of the entire complex that has survived. Although the Western Egyptian Desert is now completely dry, it was not like this in the past. There is good evidence that there have been several wet cycles in the past (with up to 500 mm of rainfall per year). The most recent refers to the interglacial period and the time of the beginning of the last glaciation, it was approximately 130,000 to 70,000 years ago. During this period, the area was a savannah and supported the life of numerous animals such as extinct bison and large giraffes, antelopes different types and gazelles. Starting around the 10th millennium BC, this area of ​​the Nubian desert began to receive more rainfall, filling the lakes. The early people may have been attracted to the region by the sources of drinking water. Archaeological finds may indicate that human activity in the area is known at least as far back as the 10th and 8th millennia BC.

Chinese mosaic from lines.

These strange lines are located at the coordinates: 40 ° 27 "28 .56" N, 93 ° 23 "34 .42" E. There is not much information available about this "weirdness", but a beautiful mosaic of lines does exist, it carved in the desert of Gansu Sheng province in China. Some records indicate that the "lines" were created in 2004, but nothing seems to be found to officially support this assumption. It should be noted that these lines are located near the Mogao Cave, which is a World Heritage Site. The lines stretch for a very long distance, and at the same time maintain their proportions, despite the curvature of the rough terrain.

An inexplicable stone doll.

In July 1889 in Boise, Idaho, a small human figure was found during a well drilling operation. The find has generated intense scientific interest in the last century. Unmistakably human-made, the "doll" was discovered at a depth of 320 feet, which made it possible to attribute its age to a time far before the arrival of man in this part of the world. The find has never been disputed, but it was only said that this, in principle, is impossible.

Iron bolt, 300 million years old.

It was found almost by accident. The expedition of the MAI-Kosmopoisk Center was looking for fragments of a meteorite in the south of the Kaluga region, in Russia. Dmitry Kurkov decided to examine a seemingly ordinary piece of stone. What he found is capable of overturning our understanding of earthly and cosmic history. When the dirt was brushed off the stone, a bolt somehow got inside was clearly visible on its chip! About a centimeter long. How did he get there? A bolt with a nut at the end (or - which this thing was also like - a spool with a rod and two discs) was sitting tight. This means that he got inside the stone back in the days when it was only a sedimentary rock, bottom clay.

Moving stones.

No one, not even NASA, has yet been able to explain this. The best thing is to just watch and marvel at the moving rocks in this dry lake in National Park Death Valley. The bottom of Lake Reistrek Playa is nearly flat, 2.5 km north-south and 1.25 km east-west, and is covered in cracked mud. The stones move slowly along the clayey bottom of the lake, as evidenced by the long traces that remain behind them. The stones move on their own without someone else's help, but no one has ever seen or recorded the movement on camera. Similar movements of stones were recorded in several other places. However, in terms of the number and length of tracks, the dried up Lake Racetrack Playa is unique.

Electricity in the pyramids.

Teotihuacan, Mexico. Large sheets of mica have been found embedded in the walls of this ancient Mexican city. The nearest place - a quarry where mica is mined, is located in Brazil, thousands of kilometers away. Mica is currently used in energy production technology. In this regard, the question arises as to why the builders used this mineral in the buildings of their city. Did these ancient architects know some long-forgotten energy sources to use electricity in their cities?

Death of a Dog

Suicide of dogs on a bridge in Overtown, near Milton, Dumbarton, Scotland. Built in 1859, Overtown Bridge became famous for a number of unexplained cases in which dogs apparently committed suicide by jumping off it. These incidents were first recorded in the 1950s or 1960s, when dogs - usually of the long-nosed species like collies - were seen jumping off a bridge quickly and unexpectedly and falling fifty feet, crashing to death.

Fossil giants

The fossilized Irish giants were discovered in 1895 and are over 12 feet (3.6 m) tall. The giants were discovered during mining operations in the city of Antrim, Ireland. This image is from the British Strand Magazine, December 1895. “Height 12'2", bust 6'6 ", arm 4'6". There are six toes on the right foot. " The six fingers and toes are reminiscent of some characters from the Bible, where six-fingered giants are described.

Pyramids of Atlantis?

Scientists continue to explore the ruins of megaliths in the so-called Yucatan Canal in the Cuba region. They were found many miles away along the coast. The American archaeologists who discovered the site immediately stated that they had found Atlantis (not the first time in the history of underwater archeology). Now the place is sometimes visited by scuba divers to admire the majestic underwater structures. All other interested persons can enjoy only filming and computer reconstruction of the city buried under water, the age of millennia.

Giants in Nevada

The legend of the Nevada Indians of the 12 foot red giants who lived in the area when they arrived. According to American Indian history, the giants were killed in the cave. During excavations in 1911, this human jaw was discovered. This is what an artificial human jaw looks like next to her. In 1931, two skeletons were found at the bottom of the lake. One was 8 feet (2.4 m) high, the other just under 10 (3 m).

Inexplicable wedge

This aluminum wedge was found in Romania in 1974, on the banks of the Mures River, near the city of Ayud. They found him at a depth of 11 meters, next to the bones of Mastodon - a giant, elephant-like, extinct animal. The find itself is very reminiscent of the head of a huge hammer. At the Archaeological Institute of the city of Cluj-Napoca, where the artifact supposedly went, it was determined that the metal from which this wedge is made is an aluminum alloy coated with a thick layer of oxide. The alloy contained 12 different elements, and the find was classified as strange, since aluminum was discovered only in 1808, and the age of this artifact, given its location in a layer along with the remains of an extinct animal, is estimated at about 11 thousand years.

"Loladoff's plate"

The Loladoff Plate is a 12,000 year old stone dish found in Nepal. It seems that Egypt is not the only place visited by aliens in ancient times. This is clearly demonstrated by a disc-shaped UFO. There is also a drawing on the disc. The character is remarkably similar to the aliens known as Gray.

Pure iron alloy hammer

A puzzle for science is ... an ordinary-looking hammer. The metal part of the hammer is 15 centimeters long and about 3 centimeters in diameter. It literally grew into limestone about 140 million years old, and is kept together with a piece of rock. This miracle caught the eye of Mrs. Emma Hahn in June 1934 in the rocks near the American town of London, Texas. The experts who examined the find made a unanimous conclusion: a hoax. However, further research carried out by various scientific institutions, including the famous Battel Laboratory (USA), showed that everything is much more complicated: First, the wooden handle on which the hammer is set has already turned to stone from the outside, but inside it has completely turned into coal. ... This means that its age is also estimated at millions of years. Secondly, specialists from the Metallurgical Institute in Columbus (Ohio) were amazed by the chemical composition of the hammer itself: 96.6% iron, 2.6% chlorine and 0.74% sulfur. No other impurities could be identified. Such pure iron has not been obtained in the entire history of earthly metallurgy. Not a single bubble has been found in metal The quality of iron, even by modern standards, is exceptionally high and raises many questions, since the content of metals used in the metallurgical industry in the production of different grades of steel is not detected (as, e.g. manganese, cobalt, nickel, tungsten, vanadium or molybdenum). There are also no impurities and the percentage of chlorine is unusually high. It is also surprising that no trace of carbon has been found in iron, while iron ore from the earth's deposits always contains carbon and other impurities. Generally speaking, from a modern point of view, it is not of high quality. But here's the detail: the iron of the "Texas hammer" does not rust! When in 1934 a piece of rock with an ingrown tool was chipped off a rock, the metal was severely scratched in one place. And over the past sixty-odd years, not the slightest signs of corrosion have appeared on the scratch ... According to the estimates of Dr. K.E. Buff, director of the Museum of Fossil Antiquities in which this hammer is stored, the find comes from the early Cretaceous period - from 140 to 65 million years ago. According to the current state of scientific knowledge, mankind learned to make such instruments of labor only 10 thousand years ago. Dr. Hans-Joachim Zilmer from Germany, who studied in detail the mysterious find, concludes: "This hammer is made according to a technology unknown to us."

Highest stone processing technology

The second group of finds that pose puzzles for scientists are artifacts created after the time of the appearance of man on Earth accepted today. But the technologies that were used to create them have become known to us relatively recently or are still unknown. The most famous find of this group can be called a crystal skull, found in 1927 in Belize during excavations of the Mayan city of Lubaantum. The skull is cut from a piece of pure quartz and measures 12x18x12 centimeters. In 1970, the skull was analyzed at the Hewlett-Packard laboratory. The results were overwhelming. The skull was created without respecting the natural crystal axis, which is impossible in modern crystallography. No metal tools were used when working on the skull. According to the restorers, the quartz was first cut with a diamond chisel, after which silicon crystalline sand was used for more thorough processing. It took about three hundred years to work on the skull, which can be taken as an incredible example of patience or the use of high technologies unknown to us. One of the experts at Hewlett-Packard stated that creating a crystal skull is not a matter of skill, patience and time, but that it is simply impossible.

Fossil nail

However, most often in the rock they find objects that are appearance similar to nails and bolts. In the 16th century, the Viceroy of Peru kept a piece of rock in his office that held tightly to an 18-centimeter steel nail found in a local mine. In 1869, in Nevada, a metal screw 5 centimeters long was found in a piece of feldspar raised from great depths. Skeptics believe that the appearance of these and many other objects can be explained by natural reasons: a special kind of crystallization of mineral solutions and melts, the formation of pyrite rods in the voids between crystals. But pyrite is iron sulfide, and at the break it is yellow (which is why it is often confused with gold) and has a distinct cubic structure. Eyewitnesses of the finds clearly speak of iron nails, sometimes covered with rust, and pyrite formations can be called gold rather than iron. There is also speculation that rod-shaped NIOs are fossilized skeletons of belemnites (invertebrates of marine animals that lived at the same time as dinosaurs). But the remains of belemnites are found only in sedimentary rocks and never in indigenous rocks such as feldspar. In addition, they have a pronounced skeletal shape, and it is impossible to confuse them with something else. It is sometimes argued that nail-like NIOs are melted meteorite fragments or fulgurites (thunder arrows), received by lightning striking rocks. However, it is extremely problematic to find such a fragment or a trace left millions of years ago. If it is still possible to argue about the origin of the nail-like NIO, then about some of the finds it remains only to make a helpless gesture.

Ancient battery

In 1936, the German scientist Wilhelm Koenig, who worked in the Archaeological Museum of Baghdad, was brought a strange object that was found on the excavations of an ancient Parthian settlement near the Iraqi capital. It was a small earthenware vase about 15 centimeters high. Inside it was a cylinder of sheet copper, its base was covered by a cap with a seal, the top of the cylinder was covered by a layer of resin, which also held an iron rod directed to the center of the cylinder. From all this, Dr. Koenig concluded that in front of him was an electric battery, created almost two thousand years before the discoveries of Galvani and Volta. Egyptologist Arne Egebrecht made an exact copy of the find, poured wine vinegar into a vase and connected a measuring device that showed a voltage of 0.5 V. Presumably the ancients used electricity to apply a thin layer of gilding to objects.

Antikythera Mechanism (other spellings: Antikythera, Andykythera, Antikythera, Greek. Dated to about 100 BC. NS. (possibly before 150 BC). Stored at the National Archaeological Museum in Athens, the mechanism contained 37 bronze gears in a wooden case, on which dials with arrows were placed and, according to reconstruction, was used to calculate the movement of celestial bodies. Other devices of similar complexity are unknown in Hellenistic culture. It uses a differential transmission that was previously thought to have been invented no earlier than the 16th century, and the level of miniaturization and complexity is comparable to that of a mechanical watch from the 18th century. The approximate dimensions of the assembled mechanism are 33 × 18 × 10 cm.

Figures of astronauts from Ecuador

Figures of ancient astronauts found in Ecuador. Age> 2000 years. In fact, full of such evidence, if you like, read Erich Von Denikin. He has many books, one of the most famous - "Chariots of the Gods", there are both physical evidence and decryption of cuneiforms and so on, in general, quite interesting. True, it is contraindicated to read vehemently believers.
