Since the time of Darwin, science has more or less succeeded in logically fitting and explaining most of the evolutionary processes that have taken place on Earth. Archaeologists, biologists, and many other ... scientists agree, and are sure that already 400 - 250 thousand years ago, the beginnings of the current society flourished on our planet. But archeology, you know, is such an unpredictable science, no, no, and it throws up new finds that do not fit into the generally accepted model neatly folded by scientists. We present you the 15 most mysterious artifacts that made the scientific world think about the correctness of existing theories.
1. Spheres from Klerksdorp.
According to rough estimates, these mysterious artifacts are about 3 billion years old. They are disc-shaped and spherical objects. Corrugated balls are of two types: one of bluish metal, monolithic, interspersed with white matter, the other, on the contrary, is hollow, and the cavity is filled with white spongy material. Nobody knows the exact number of spheres, since miners with the help of kmd still continue to extract them from a rock near the city of Klerksdorp, located in South Africa.
2. Drop Stones.
In the mountains of Bayan-Kara-Ula, which are located in China, a unique find was made, the age of which is 10 - 12 thousand years. Drop stones, numbering in the hundreds, are like gramophone records. These are stone discs with a hole in the middle and a spiral engraving applied to the surface. Some scientists tend to believe that the disks serve as carriers of information about an extraterrestrial civilization.
3. Antikythera mechanism.
In 1901, the Aegean Sea revealed to scientists the mystery of a sunken Roman ship. Among other surviving antiquities, a mysterious mechanical artifact was found, which was made about 2000 years ago. Scientists managed to recreate the most complex and innovative invention for that time. The Antikythera mechanism was used by the Romans for astronomical calculations. Interestingly, the differential gear used in it was invented only in the 16th century, and the skillfulness of miniature parts from which the amazing device was assembled is not inferior to the skill of watchmakers of the 18th century.
4. Ica stones.
Unique stones were discovered in the Peruvian province of Ica by the surgeon Javier Cabrera. Ica stones are processed volcanic rock covered with engravings. But the whole mystery is that among the images there are dinosaurs (brontosaurs, pterosaurs and triceraptors). Perhaps, despite all the arguments of scientific anthropologists, the ancestors of modern man were already flourishing and engaged in creativity at the time when these giants roamed the earth?
5. Baghdad battery.
In 1936, a strange-looking vessel was found in Baghdad, sealed with a concrete plug. Inside the mysterious artifact was a metal rod. Subsequent experiments showed that the vessel performed the function of an ancient battery, since by filling a structure similar to the Baghdad battery with electrolyte available for that time, it is possible to get electricity of 1 V. Now you can argue who owns the title of the founder of the doctrine of electricity, because the Baghdad battery is 2000 years older than Alessandro Volta.
6. The oldest "spark plug".
In the mountains of Coso in California, an expedition that was looking for new minerals found a strange artifact, with its appearance and properties, it strongly resembles a “spark plug”. Despite the dilapidation, one can confidently distinguish a ceramic cylinder, inside of which there is a magnetized metal two-millimeter rod. And the cylinder itself is enclosed in a copper hexagon. The age of the mysterious find will surprise even the most inveterate skeptic - it is more than 500,000 years old!
7. Stone balls of Costa Rica.
Three hundred stone balls scattered along the coast of Costa Rica vary both in age (from 200 BC to 1500 AD) and in size. However, scientists are still not clear how exactly the ancient people made them and for what purposes.
8. Planes, tanks and submarines of Ancient Egypt.
There is no doubt that the Egyptians built the pyramids, but could the same inhabitants of Egypt have thought of constructing an airplane? Scientists have been asking this question since a mysterious artifact was discovered in one of the Egyptian caves in 1898. The shape of the device is similar to an airplane, and, given its initial speed, it could well fly. The fact that in the era of the New Kingdom the Egyptians knew such technical inventions as an airship, a helicopter and a submarine is told by a fresco on the ceiling of a temple located near Cairo.
9. Human palm print, 110 million years old.
And this is not at all the age for humanity, if we take and add here such a mysterious artifact as a petrified finger from the Arctic part of Canada, which belongs to a person and has the same age. And the footprint found in Utah, and not just a foot, but shod in a sandal, is 300-600 million years old! You wonder, so when did humanity originate?
10. Metal pipes from Saint-Jean-de-Livet.
The age of the rock from which the metal pipes were extracted is 65 million years, therefore, the artifact was made at the same time. Wow Iron Age. Another strange find was mined from a Scottish rock dating back to the lower Devonian period, that is, 360 - 408 million years ago. This mysterious artifact was a metal nail.
In 1844, the Englishman David Brewster reported that an iron nail had been found in a block of sandstone in one of the Scottish quarries. Its hat was so "grown" into the stone that it was not possible to suspect the falsification of the find, although the age of the sandstone, dating back to the Devonian period, is about 400 million years.
Already in our memory, in the second half of the twentieth century, a discovery was made, which scientists still cannot explain. Near the American town with the loud name of London, in the state of Texas, when splitting sandstone of the Ordovician period (Paleozoic, 500 million years ago), an iron hammer with the remains of a wooden handle was found. If we discard a person who did not exist at that time, it turns out that trilobites and dinosaurs smelted iron and used it for economic purposes. If we discard stupid mollusks, then we need to somehow explain the finds, for example, such as this one: in 1968, the French Druet and Salfati discovered in the quarries of Saint-Jean-de-Livet, in France, oval-shaped metal pipes, whose age, if dated by the Cretaceous layers, is 65 million years - the era of the last reptiles.
Or this one: in the middle of the 19th century, explosive work was carried out in Massachusetts, and a metal vessel was found among the fragments of stone blocks, which was torn in half by an explosive wave. It was a vase about 10 centimeters high, made of metal resembling zinc in color. The walls of the vessel were decorated with images of six flowers in the form of a bouquet. The rock, in which this outlandish vase was kept, belonged to the beginning of the Paleozoic (Cambrian), when life was barely born on earth - 600 million years ago.
It cannot be said that scientists even took water into their mouths: they had to read that a nail and a hammer could fall into a gap and be flooded with soil water, with the formation of dense rock around them over time. Even if the vase failed along with the hammer, but the pipes in the French quarries could not fall into the depths by chance.
11. Iron mug in the corner
It is not known what the scientist would say if, instead of the imprint of an ancient plant, in a coal block, he would find ... an iron mug. Would the coal seam be dated by humans from the Iron Age, or still, the Carboniferous, when there weren't even dinosaurs? But such an object was found, and until recently that mug was kept in one of the private museums in America, in South Missouri, although with the death of the owner, the trace of the scandalous object was lost, to the great, it should be noted, relief of pundits. However, the photograph remains.
The mug had the following document, signed by Frank Kenwood: “In 1912, when I was working at the municipal power plant in Thomas, Oklahoma, I came across a massive block of coal. It was too big and I had to smash it with a hammer. This iron mug fell out of a block, leaving behind a recess in the coal. An eyewitness of how I broke a block and how a mug fell out of it was an employee of the company named Jim Stoll. I managed to find out the origin of coal - it was mined in the mines of Wilburton, in Oklahoma. According to scientists, the coal mined in the mines of Oklahoma is 312 million years old, unless, of course, dating by a circle. Or did man live with trilobites, those shrimp of the past?
12. Leg on a trilobite
in this - a trilobite crushed by a shoe! The fossil was discovered by a passionate lover of shellfish, William Meister, who in 1968 examined the vicinity of Antelope Spring, in Utah. He split a piece of shale and saw the following picture (in the photo - a split stone).
One can see the imprint of the shoe of the right foot, under which there were two small trilobites. Scientists explain this by the play of nature, and are ready to believe in the discovery only if there is a whole chain of such traces. The meister is not a specialist, but a draftsman who searches for antiquities in his spare time, but his reasoning is sound: the imprint of the shoe was not found on the surface of hardened clay, but after splitting a piece: the chip fell along the imprint, along the border of the compaction caused by the pressure of the shoe. However, they do not want to talk to him: after all, man, according to evolutionary theory, did not live in the Cambrian period. There weren't even dinosaurs back then. Or... geochronology is false.
13. The sole of the shoe on the ancient stone
In 1922, American geologist John Reid conducted a search in the state of Nevada. Unexpectedly for himself, he found a clear imprint of the sole of the shoe on the stone. A photograph of this wonderful find is still preserved.
Also in 1922, an article by Dr. W. Ballou appeared in the New York Sunday American. He wrote: “Some time ago, the famous geologist John T. Reid, while searching for fossils, suddenly froze in embarrassment and surprise at the rock under his feet. There was what looked like a human print, but not of a bare foot, but of the sole of a shoe that had turned to stone. The forefoot is gone, but retains the contour of at least two-thirds of the outsole. A well-defined thread ran around the contour, which, as it turned out, attached the welt to the sole. This is how the fossil was found, which is today the biggest mystery for science, since it was found in a rock that is at least 5 million years old.
The geologist took the cut piece of rock to New York, where it was examined by several professors from the American Museum of Natural History and a geologist from Columbia University. Their conclusion was unequivocal: the rock is 200 million years old - the Mesozoic, the Triassic period. However, the imprint itself was recognized, both by these and by all other scientists, as a game of nature. Otherwise, one would have to admit that people in shoes sewn with thread lived with a number of dinosaurs.
14. Two mysterious Cylinders
In 1993, Philip Reef was the owner of another amazing find. When tunneling in the mountains of California, two mysterious Cylinders were discovered, they resemble the so-called "cylinders of the Egyptian pharaohs."
But their properties are completely different from them. They consist half of platinum, half of an unknown metal. If they are heated, for example, to 50°C, then they retain this temperature for several hours, regardless of the ambient temperature. Then they cool almost instantly to air temperature. If an electric current is passed through them, they change color from silver to black, and then again acquire their original color. Undoubtedly, the cylinders contain other secrets that have yet to be discovered. According to radiocarbon analysis, the age of these artifacts is about 25 million years.
15 Mayan Crystal Skulls
According to the most common story, the "Skull of Destiny" was found in 1927 by the English explorer Frederick A. Mitchell-Hedges among the Mayan ruins in Lubaantun (modern Belize).
Others claim that the scientist bought this object at Sotheby's in London in 1943. In any case, this rock crystal skull is so perfectly carved that it appears to be a priceless work of art.
So, if we consider the first hypothesis correct (according to which the skull is a Mayan creation), then a whole rain of questions falls upon us.
Scientists believe that the Skull of Destiny is, in some ways, technically impossible. Weighing almost 5 kg, and being a perfect copy of a female skull, it has a completeness that would not be possible without the use of more or less modern methods, methods that the Mayan culture owned and which we do not know about.
The skull is perfectly polished. Its jaw is a hinged part separate from the rest of the skull. It has long attracted (and probably will continue to do so to a somewhat lesser extent) specialists from various disciplines.
Mention should also be made of the relentless attribution by a group of esotericists of supernatural powers, such as telekinesis, the emission of an unusual fragrance, color changes. The existence of all these properties is difficult to prove.
The skull was subjected to various analyses. One of the inexplicable things is that, made of quartz glass, and therefore having a hardness of 7 on the Mohs scale (a scale of hardness of minerals from 0 to 10), the skull could be carved without such hard cutting materials as ruby and diamond.
Studies of the skull, conducted by the American company Hewlett-Packard in the 1970s, determined that in order to achieve such perfection, it would have to be sanded for 300 years.
Could the Maya have deliberately designed this type of work, which was scheduled for completion in 3 centuries? We can only say with certainty that the Skull of Destiny is not the only one of its kind.
Several of these items have been found around the world and are made from other quartz-like materials. Among them is a whole jadeite skeleton found in the region of China/Mongolia, made on a smaller scale than a human, according to estimates, approx. in 3500-2200 BC.
There are doubts about the authenticity of many of these artifacts, but there is something that is certain: crystal skulls continue to delight daring scientists.
16. Salzburg Paralepiped
The very existence of the "parallelepiped" makes one wonder: is it the only one? Are there other similar (if not in form and composition, then at least in terms of the conditions under which they were found) objects? We do not mean ordinary fossil meteorites, which do not raise doubts about their nature; we are interested in objects of a clearly (or presumably) artificial nature. Those that fell into the earth's rocks during the formation of the latter. Somewhat tentatively, they can be called "unknown fossil objects" or NIO for short. "IN THE GENUINE THERE IS NO DOUBTS" Such finds are indeed known to science.

culture
Some researchers are sure that extraterrestrial forms of intelligent life has visited our planet in the past. However, such statements are not scientifically confirmed facts and remain only assumptions and hypotheses.
UFO almost always has quite reasonable explanation. But what to do with artifacts, ancient strange objects that are found here and there? Today we will talk about ancient objects, the origin of which remains a mystery. Perhaps these things are proof of the existence of aliens?
The mechanism of extraterrestrial origin
Cogwheel of aliens from Vladivostok
At the beginning of this year, a resident of Vladivostok discovered a strange piece of equipment. This object resembled a part of a cogwheel and was pressed into a piece of coal with which the man was going to heat the stove.
Although unwanted parts of old equipment can be found almost everywhere, this thing seemed very strange, so the man decided to take it to scientists. After a careful study of the subject, it turned out that the object is made of almost pure aluminum and indeed has an artificial origin.
But the most interesting thing is that he 300 million years! The dating of the object fueled interest, since such pure aluminum and such a shape of the object clearly could not have appeared in nature without the intervention of intelligent life. Moreover, it is known that mankind has learned to make such details not earlier than 1825.
The artifact is incredibly reminiscent of parts of a microscope and other fine technical devices. Immediately there were suggestions that the item is part of an alien ship.
ancient statue
Stone head from Guatemala
In the 1930s researchers have discovered a huge sandstone statue somewhere in the middle of the jungles of Guatemala. The facial features of the statue were completely different from the features of the appearance of the ancient Maya or other peoples who lived in these territories.
Researchers believe that the facial features of the statue depicted representative of an ancient alien civilization, which was much more developed than the locals before the arrival of the Spaniards. Some have also suggested that the head of the statue also had a torso (although this has not been confirmed).
It is possible that later peoples could also sculpt the statue, but unfortunately, we will never know about it. The revolutionary Guatemalans used the statue as a target and almost completely destroyed it.
Ancient artifact or fake?
alien electric plug
In 1998 a hacker John J. Williams noticed a strange stone object in the ground. He dug it up and cleaned it, after which he found that it was attached to obscure electrical component. It was obvious that this device was created by human hand, and it was most similar to an electric plug.
The stone has since become well known in alien hunter circles and has been featured in some of the most famous paranormal publications. Williams, an electrical engineer by profession, reported that an electrical component that was pressed into a granite stone has not been glued or welded to it.
Many believe that this artifact is just a skillful forgery, but Williams refused to give the item for a more detailed study. He intended to sell it for 500 thousand dollars.
The stone was similar to ordinary stones that lizards use to keep warm. The first geological analysis showed that the stone about 100 thousand years, which allegedly proves that the item inside it was not man-made.
In the end, Williams agreed to cooperate with scientists, but only if they will fulfill his three conditions: he will be present at all tests, will not pay for research and the stone will not be damaged.
Artifacts of ancient civilizations
ancient aircraft
The Incas and other peoples of the Americas of the pre-Columbian era left behind a lot of very curious mysterious things. Some of them have been called "ancient planes" - these are small gold figurines that are very reminiscent of modern aircraft.
Initially it was assumed that these were figurines of animals or insects, but later it turned out that they have strange details, which are more like parts of fighter planes: wings, tail stabilizer and even landing gear.
It has been suggested that these models are replicas of real aircraft. That is, the Inca civilization could communicate with extraterrestrial beings that could fly to Earth on such devices.
The version that these figurines are just artistic image bees, flying fish, or other terrestrial creatures with wings.
lizard people
Al-Ubayd- an archaeological site in Iraq - a real gold mine for archaeologists and historians. A large number of objects have been found here. El Obeid culture, which existed in southern Mesopotamia between 5900 and 4000 BC.
Some of the artifacts found are especially strange. For example, some figurines depict humanoid figures in simple poses with lizard-like heads, which may indicate that these are not statues of gods, but images of some new race of lizard people.
There were suggestions that these figurines - images of aliens, which at that time flew to Earth. The true nature of the figurines remains a mystery.
Life in a meteorite
Researchers who studied the remains of a meteorite found on the island of Sri Lanka found that the subject of their research is not just a piece of stone that came from space. It was an artifact, literally. created outside the earth. Two different studies have shown that this meteorite contains extraterrestrial fossils and algae.
Scientists reported that these fossils provide clear evidence panspermia(hypotheses that life exists in the universe and is transferred from one planet to another with the help of meteorites and other space objects). However, these assumptions have been criticized.
The fossils in the meteorite are actually very similar to the species that can be found in Earth's fresh waters. It may very well be that the object was simply infected while it was on our planet.
Tapestry "Summer holiday"
Tapestry called "Summer Holiday" was established in Bruges (the capital of the province West Flanders in Belgium) in 1538. Today it can be seen in bavarian national museum.
This tapestry is famous for depicting very UFO-like objects that hovered in the sky. There are suggestions that they were placed on a tapestry, which depicts the ascension of the victor to the throne, in order to associate a UFO with a monarch. UFO in this case serves as a symbol of divine intervention. This, of course, raised more questions. For example, why did medieval Belgians associate flying saucers with deities?
Trinity with Satellite
Italian artist Ventura Salimbeni is the author of one of the most mysterious altarpieces in history. "Disputa of the Eucharist" ("Glorification of the Holy Communion")- a picture of the 16th century, which consists of several parts.
The lower part of the picture does not differ in something strange: it depicts saints and an altar. However, the upper part depicts Holy Trinity (Father, Son and dove - Holy Spirit), which look down and hold on to a strange object that looks like a space satellite.
This object has perfectly round shape with a metallic sheen, telescopic antennas and a strange glow. Surprisingly, it incredibly resembles the first artificial satellite of the Earth. "Sputnik-1" launched into orbit in 1957.
Although the alien hunters are sure that this picture is evidence that the artist saw a UFO, or traveled through time, the experts very quickly found an explanation.
This object is actually Sphaera Mundi, a representation of the universe. In religious art, such a symbol has been used more than once. Strange lights on the ball - Sun and moon, and the antennas are scepters, that is, symbols of the authority of the Father and the Son.
Mayan artifacts
Ancient images of UFO
In 2012, the Mexican government released several ancient Maya artifacts that it had been hiding from the public. last 80 years. These objects were found in a pyramid that was found under another pyramid in the area Calakmul- the most powerful city of the ancient Maya.
These artifacts are notable for the fact that depict flying saucers, which can serve as evidence that the Mayans saw UFOs at one time. However, the authenticity of these artifacts is highly questionable in the scientific world, and even more so the pictures that appeared on the net. Most likely, these artifacts were created local artisans to cause a sensation fueling reports of the end of the world at the end of 2012.
Mysterious Artifact
Alien Sphere Betzev
This mysterious story happened mid 1970s. When the Betz family was investigating the damage from a fire that destroyed a large amount of forest on their property, they discovered a surprising find: a silver ball about 20 centimeters in diameter, completely smooth with a strange elongated triangular character.
At first, the Betzes thought it was some kind of NASA space object or a Soviet spy satellite, but eventually decided that it was just a souvenir and kept it for themselves.
Two weeks later, Betzev's son decided to play the guitar in the room where the ball was located. Suddenly an object began to respond to the melody, producing a strange pulsing sound, causing anxiety in the Betz dog.
Further, the family discovered even more strange properties of the object. If he was rolled on the floor, the ball could stop and abruptly change direction, while returning to the person who abandoned it. It seemed that he draws energy from the sun's rays, as on sunny days the ball became more active.
Newspapers began to write about the ball, scientists became interested in it, although the Betzes did not particularly want to part with the find. Soon the house began to happen mysterious phenomena: the ball began to behave like a poltergeist. Doors began to open at night, organ music began to sound in the house.
After that, the family was seriously worried and decided to find out what this ball is. What was their surprise when it turned out that this mysterious object was just plain stainless steel ball.
While there are many theories about where this strange ball came from and why it behaves this way, one of them turned out to be the most plausible.
Three years before the Betzes found the ball, an artist named James Derling-Jones I drove through these places in a car, on the roof of which I was carrying several stainless steel balls, which I was going to use in a future sculpture. On the way, one of the balls fell out and rolled into the forest.
According to the description, these balls were the same as the Betz ball: they could balance and roll in different directions as soon as they are slightly touched. The Betzes' house had uneven floors, so the ball didn't roll in a straight line. These balls could also make sounds due to the metal shavings that got inside during the production of the ball.
The legend of this chair dates back to when Thomas Busby was sentenced to death. Somehow, having quarreled with a counterfeiter, he greatly dispersed, hammering him to death with a hammer. Tom was sentenced to death at the trial in 1702 and granted his last wish. His last wish was a glass of whiskey, which he wanted to drink on his favorite bar stool. Having finished his whiskey, Tom said "Death will come quickly to the one who sits on my chair".
Thomas Busby was soon hanged. At that time, no one attached much importance to the words of a man doomed to death, but showing respect for the event, no one sat on this chair for 10 years. But one day a chimney sweep who worked nearby looked into the bar, there were no empty seats in the bar, except for Thomas Busby's favorite chair, and, under the astonished looks of the visitors, he sat down on this chair.
Having finished his whiskey, he paid and left the bar, he soon died falling off the roof. Word of this quickly spread around the area and the bar gained wide popularity, thanks to the cursed chair, which killed anyone who dared to sit on it. The current owner of the tavern, with the cursed chair, Anthony Earnshaw bought the bar in 1966, renaming it "Busby Chair" Two young pilots in 1967, having laughed at the old legend, sat down on the cursed chair. Then they quietly left. A few minutes passed and their car ran off the road and crashed into a tree! Both died on the spot.
In the same year, a British army sergeant insisted on sitting on the famous cursed chair. He died suddenly three days later! And before that, according to doctors, the sergeant had enviable health. A young builder in 1973 wanted to try his luck and sat down on a cursed chair ... three hours later he dies at a construction site, falling off the roof. After a few years, while cleaning the room, the cleaner trips and accidentally sits on the edge of the cursed chair. A few weeks passed and she was dying of brain cancer. Among the victims was a worker repairing a nearby roof in 1984, not believing in the curses, sat on a devil's chair ... that same evening the roof collapsed and the worker died. To protect people from the danger that the cursed chair carries, the owner of the bar removed it away from human eyes. But one evening, the hot food delivery man begged the owner to look at the legendary chair, and ... sat down on it. That same evening, he is hit by a truck that, for some unknown reason, drove onto the sidewalk off the road. Joseph Mainwing - Taylor - the vicar of the local church assured that the forces of evil were contained in the cursed chair, he repeatedly tried to consecrate it, but to no avail.
"Cursed chair" from Yorkshire (England) killed his 65th victim - a young American after she celebrated her 18th birthday, was torn apart by wild dogs. In 2009, with fellow students, Melissa Dolony celebrated her birthday in the Busby Bar. No one paid attention to how she ended up behind a rope enclosing a chair. The waiter who served the students noticed her next to the chair and rushed to her through the entire hall, shouting ... but it was too late. After the party, two blocks from the inn, she was bitten to death by stray dogs. “She was just an American who did not attach any importance to stories about all sorts of killer chairs, ghosts, mysticism - considering it all stupidity,” said her friend Gayla Ganby. We had a drink in honor of Melissa's eighteenth birthday. Most likely, alcohol gave her courage. She said she spat on Tom Busby and his chair. The next thing we all saw was Melissa laughing as she opened another bottle of beer while sitting on the damned chair.”
“All deaths were recognized as an accident,” said Nigel Staul, a famous historian from England who studied mystical objects, this legendary chair. “However, it is quite obvious to me that everyone who sat on a chair found his death under mystical circumstances. To understand this, you just need to delve into the details of the so-called accidents.
For example, the penultimate victim of the cursed chair was 37-year-old Ann Conelatter, an accountant from Trenton, New York, who was in Yorkshire on vacation. Leaving for England, she boasted to her friends that she would definitely sit on the devil's chair and, upon returning to America, would tell them about her feelings. The staff of the tavern, unfortunately, did not have time to prevent her from doing this, and her fate was sealed. 26 minutes passed after she sat on the chair, entered the hotel elevator, reached the sixth floor, the elevator cable broke, death was instantaneous.
Inn owner Tony Earnshaw was asked why he didn't destroy the cursed chair? But it was he who answered: “This chair was created by history, and I have no right to interfere in its course. And above all, I warn everyone of the danger. Well, if someone wants to tempt fate, well, that's their own business "
The cursed chair was donated to the local museum. The armchair was fixed on the wall, at a height of one and a half meters, next to it is a description of a detailed legend, with a list of victims and a warning about the gallows curse ...
Mysterious artifacts of ancient civilizations are located in the Nazca desert, represented by huge drawings. Amazing geoglyphs appeared in 200 BC, covering vast areas off the coast of Peru. Engraved on sandy ground, they illustrate animals and geometric figures.
The images, also represented by lines, are very similar to runways. The Nazca people, who created wonderful drawings, left no record of the purpose of large-scale images. Perhaps because of their prehistoric age, they had not yet discovered the benefits of a written language, or something else was holding them back.
Not advanced enough for a written language, they nevertheless left a great mystery to future civilizations. We still wonder how such complex projects were realized at that time.
Some theorists believe that the Nazca lines represent constellations and correlate with the positions of the stars. It is also speculated that the geoglyphs must have been viewed from the heavens, with some of the lines forming runways for alien visitors to Earth.Another thing also amazes us, if the "artists" themselves did not have the opportunity to view images from the sky, then how did the Nazca peoples create absolutely symmetrical images? In the absence of records from that time, we have no acceptable explanation other than the involvement of extraterrestrial technology.
GIANT FINGER OF EGYPT.
An artifact 35 centimeters long, according to legend, was discovered in the 1960s in Egypt. The researcher of the unknown Gregor Sporri, having met the owner of the artifact in 1988, paid $ 300 to photograph the finger and take an x-ray. There is even an X-ray image of the finger, as well as a seal of authenticity.
Original photo taken in 1988
However, not a single scientist studied the finger, but the person who owned the artifact, leaving no opportunity to hear the details. This may contribute to the fact that the giant's finger is a hoax, or testify to the civilization of the giants that lived on the earth before us.
STONE DISKS OF THE DROPA TRIBE.
According to the history of the artifact, Cho Pu Tei, a professor of archeology (who is a real archaeologist) in Beijing, was on an expedition with students to explore caves deep in the Himalaya mountains. Situated between Tibet and China, a series of caves were clearly man-made as they consisted of tunnel systems and rooms.
There were small skeletons in the cells of the rooms, speaking of a dwarf culture. Professor Tey suggested that they are an undocumented species of mountain gorilla. True, the ritual burial was very embarrassing.
Hundreds of disks with a diameter of 30.5 centimeters with ideal holes in the center were also found here. The researchers, having studied the paintings on the walls of the cave, came to the conclusion that the age is 12,000 years. Discs with a mysterious purpose date back to the same age.
Sent to Peking University, the discs of the Dropa tribe (as they are called) have been studied for 20 years. Many researchers and scientists tried to decipher the letters engraved on the discs, which were not successful.Professor Tsum Um Nui from Beijing examined the disks in 1958 and came to the conclusion about an unknown language that had not previously appeared anywhere. The engraving itself was done to such a skillful level that it required a magnifying glass to read. All the results of decryption went to the area of extraterrestrial origin of artifacts.
Tribal Legend: Ancient drops descended from the clouds. Our ancestors, women and children hid in caves ten times before sunrise. When the fathers finally understood the sign language, they found out that those who came had peaceful intentions.
ARTIFACT, 500,000 YEARS SPARK PLUG.
In 1961, a very strange artifact was discovered in the mountains of Coso, California. Looking for additions to their show, the owners of a small gem shop set out to collect a few pieces. However, they were lucky to find not just a valuable stone or a rare fossil, but a real mechanical artifact of ancient times.
The mysterious mechanical device looked like a modern car spark plug. Analysis and X-ray examination revealed a porcelain filling containing copper rings, a steel spring and a magnetic rod on the inside. Complementing the mystery is an unidentifiable powdery white substance inside.
After conducting research on the artifact and marine fossils covering the surface, it turned out that the artifact "petrified" about 500,000 years ago.However, scientists were in no hurry to analyze the artifact. They were probably afraid of accidentally disproving generally accepted theories by saying that we are not the first technologically advanced civilization. Or the planet really was a popular place for aliens, often repaired on Earth.
THE ANTIKYTERA MECHANISM.
In the past century, divers have been cleaning up ancient Greek treasures at the site of the wreck of the Antikythera ship dating back to 100 BC. Among the artifacts, they found 3 pieces of a mysterious device. The device had bronze triangular prongs and is thought to have been used to track the complex movements of the moon and other planets.
The mechanism used a differential gear consisting of over 30 gears of various sizes with triangular teeth, which were always counted down to prime numbers. It is believed that if all teeth are proven to be prime numbers, then they can clear up the astronomical mysteries of the ancient Greeks.
The antikythera mechanism had a knob that allowed the user to enter past and future dates and then calculate the positions of the sun and moon. The use of differential gears made it possible to calculate angular velocities and calculate lunar cycles.
No other artifacts discovered since this time are advanced. Instead of using a geocentric representation, the mechanism was built on heliocentric principles, which were not common at the time. It seems that the ancient Greeks managed to independently build the world's first analog computer.Alexander Jones, a historian, deciphered some of the inscriptions and said that the device used colored balls to represent the Sun, Mars and the Moon. Well, from the inscriptions, we found out where the device was created, but no one said how it was made. Is it possible that the Greeks knew more about the solar system and technology than we previously thought?
PLANES OF ANCIENT CIVILIZATIONS.
Egypt is not a unique place for theories about ancient aliens and high technology. Small gold items dating back to 500 AD have been found in Central and South America. era.
More precisely, dating is a kind of challenge, since the items are entirely made of gold, so the date was estimated by stratigraphy. This may fool some people into thinking it was a hoax, but the artifacts are at least 1,000 years old.
Artifacts are interesting for their amazing similarity to ordinary planes for us. Archaeologists have designated the finds as zoomorphic, for their resemblance to animals. However, comparing them with birds and fish (having similar characteristics from the point of view of animals) seems to be pulled to the right conclusion. In any case, such a comparison is highly questionable.
Why do they look so much like airplanes? They have wings, stabilizing elements and landing mechanisms that have encouraged researchers to recreate one of the ancient figures.
Crafted to scale yet accurately proportioned, this ancient artifact appears very much like a modern fighter jet. After the re-creation, it was documented that the plane, although not very aerodynamically good, flew wonderfully.
Is it possible that ancient cosmonauts visited us 1000 years ago and left the design solutions for what we now call "airplanes"? In addition, the aerodynamic characteristics on the home planet of the "guests" may be different from terrestrial conditions.
Perhaps this is a model of a space shuttle (by the way, we are designing the same shape). Or is it more plausible to think that the artifact represents an overly inaccurate depiction of birds and bees?
It is possible that the ancient world was in contact with a variety of alien races, as evidenced by the rich collection of stories detailing the encounters. Many cultures separated by thousands of years contain stories of flying objects and technologies so advanced that it seems to us like a hoax.

Cursed diamond in all its glory This diamond is one of the largest in the world. "Hope" (Hope) is estimated at 250 million dollars. Its bluish brilliance and size have attracted people since the stone was cut and shaped by an unknown jeweler (in the 17th century).

The remains were discovered in the Otsalian Alps (hence the name) by two hikers on the border between Italy and France in 1991. It is unclear why Otzi is considered a cursed corpse, but since his discovery, at least seven people have died violent deaths under mysterious circumstances. All of them are in some way connected with the storage or transportation of the Iceman.

the inhospitable shores of the island of Pécs This island is a favorite haunt of cursed artifact and ghost hunters. The island is uninhabited, but tourists constantly come to it. Pecs is located on the Detroit River in Canadian territory. According to legend, the French-Canadian Laforet family built a manor on the island and lived in peace with local tribes in the middle of the 18th century.
