Mysterious artifacts of ancient civilizations are located in the Nazca desert, represented by huge drawings. Amazing geoglyphs appeared in 200 BC, covering vast areas off the coast of Peru. Engraved into sandy soil, they illustrate animals and geometric shapes.
The images, also represented by lines, are very similar to landing strips. The Nazca people, who created the wonderful drawings, did not leave any records about the purpose of the large-scale images. Perhaps, due to their prehistoric era, they had not yet discovered the advantages of a written language, or something else held them back.
Not advanced enough for a written language, they nevertheless left a great mystery to future civilizations. We still wonder how such complex projects were implemented at that time.
Some theorists believe that the Nazca lines represent constellations and correlate with the location of stars. It is also suggested that the geoglyphs must have been viewed from the heavens, with some lines forming runways for alien visitors to Earth.Another thing amazes us: if the “artists” themselves did not have the opportunity to view images from the sky, then how did the Nazca peoples create absolutely symmetrical images? In the absence of records from that time, we have no plausible explanations other than the involvement of extraterrestrial technology.
GIANT FINGER OF EGYPT.
The 35-centimeter-long artifact, according to legend, was discovered in the 1960s in Egypt. Unknown researcher Gregor Sporri, meeting the owner of the artifact in 1988, paid $300 to photograph the finger and conduct an x-ray. There is even an x-ray image of the finger, as well as a stamp of authenticity.
Original photo taken in 1988
However, not a single scientist studied the finger, and the person who owned the artifact left no opportunity to hear the details. This may contribute to the fact that the giant's finger is a hoax, or indicate a civilization of giants that lived on the earth before us.
STONE DISCS OF THE DROPA TRIBE.
As reported in the history of the artifact, Cho Pu Tei, a professor of archeology (an actual archaeologist) of Beijing, was on an expedition with his students to explore caves deep in the mountains of the Himalayas. Located between Tibet and China, a number of caves were clearly man-made as they consisted of tunnel systems and rooms.
There were small skeletons in the cells of the rooms, speaking of a dwarf culture. Professor Tay suggested that they are an undocumented species of mountain gorilla. The truth was that the ritual burial was very confusing.
Hundreds of disks with a diameter of 30.5 centimeters with perfect holes in the center were also found here. Researchers, having studied the paintings on the walls of the cave, came to the conclusion that the age is 12,000 years. The discs of mysterious purpose also date back to the same age.
Sent to Peking University, the Dropa disks (as they were called) were studied for 20 years. Many researchers and scientists tried to decipher the writings engraved on the disks, but they were not successful.Professor Tsum Um Nui from Beijing examined the disks in 1958 and came to the conclusion that unknown language, which has never appeared anywhere before. The engraving itself was done to such an elaborate level that it required a magnifying glass to read. All the results of the decryptions went into the area of the extraterrestrial origin of artifacts.
Tribal Legend: Ancient dropas descended from the clouds. Our ancestors, women and children hid in caves ten times before sunrise. When the fathers finally understood the sign language, they found out that those who came had peaceful intentions.
ARTIFACT, SPARK PLUG AT 500,000 YEARS OLD.
In 1961, a very strange artifact was discovered in the Coso Mountains, California. Looking for additions to their display, the owners of a small gem store set out to collect a few pieces. However, they were lucky to find not just a valuable stone or a rare fossil, but a real mechanical artifact of deep antiquity.
The mysterious mechanical device looked like a modern car spark plug. Analysis and X-ray examination revealed a porcelain filling containing copper rings, a steel spring and a magnetic rod on the inside. Adding to the mystery is an unidentifiable powdery white substance inside.
After conducting research on the artifact and the marine fossils covering the surface, it turned out that the artifact “fossilized” about 500,000 years ago.However, scientists were in no hurry to analyze the artifact. They were probably afraid of accidentally disproving generally accepted theories by saying that we are not the first technologically advanced civilization. Or the planet really was a popular place among aliens, often being repaired on Earth.
ANTIKYTHERA MECHANISM.
In the last century, divers have been clearing ancient Greek treasures from the site of the Antikythera shipwreck, which dates back to 100 BC. Among the artifacts they found 3 parts of a mysterious device. The device had bronze triangular teeth and is believed to have been used to track the complex movements of the Moon and other planets.
The mechanism used a differential gear consisting of more than 30 gears different sizes with triangular teeth that were always counted to prime numbers. It is believed that if all teeth are proven to be prime numbers, then they can clarify the astronomical secrets of the ancient Greeks.
The Antikythera mechanism had a knob that allowed the user to enter past and future dates and then calculate the positions of the Sun and Moon. The use of differential gears made it possible to calculate angular velocities and calculate lunar cycles.
No other artifacts discovered since this time are advanced. Instead of using a geocentric representation, the mechanism was built on heliocentric principles, which were not common at the time. It seems that the ancient Greeks managed to independently build the world's first analog computer.Alexander Jones, a historian, deciphered some of the inscriptions and said the device used colored balls to represent the Sun, Mars and Moon. Okay, from the inscriptions we found out where the device was created, but no one said how it was made. Is it possible that the Greeks knew more about solar system and technology than we thought before?
PLANES OF ANCIENT CIVILIZATIONS.
Egypt is not unique to theories about ancient aliens and high technology. Small gold objects dating back to 500 AD have been discovered in Central and South America. era.
More precisely, dating is a bit of a challenge, since the items are entirely made of gold, so the date was estimated using stratigraphy. This may fool some people into thinking it's a hoax, but the artifacts date back at least 1,000 years.
The artifacts are interesting because of their amazing similarity to ordinary airplanes. Archaeologists have designated the finds as zoomorphic for their resemblance to animals. However, comparing them with birds and fish (which have similar characteristics from an animal point of view) seems to lead to the desired conclusion. In any case, such a comparison raises serious doubts.
Why do they look so much like airplanes? They have wings, stabilizing elements and landing mechanisms, which have called on researchers to recreate one of the ancient figures.
Being created to scale but precise in proportions, this ancient artifact appears very similar to a modern fighter. After the reconstruction, it was documented that the plane, although not very good aerodynamically, flew wonderfully.
Is it possible that 1000 years ago ancient astronauts visited us and left design solutions for what we now call “airplanes”? In addition, the aerodynamic characteristics on the home planet of the “guests” may be different from terrestrial conditions.
Perhaps this is a model of a space shuttle (by the way, we are designing the same shape). Or is it more plausible to think that the artifact represents an overly inaccurate representation of the birds and the bees?
The ancient world may have been in contact with many alien races, as evidenced by the rich collection of stories detailing the encounters. Many cultures, separated by thousands of years, contain tales of flying objects and technologies so advanced that they seem like hoaxes to us.
Since the time of Darwin, science has more or less managed to fit into a logical framework and explain most of the evolutionary processes that took place on Earth. Archaeologists, biologists, and many other ...ologists agree and are confident that already 400 - 250 thousand years ago the rudiments of the current society flourished on our planet. But archeology, you know, is such an unpredictable science, no, no, and it keeps throwing up new finds that do not fit into the generally accepted model neatly put together by scientists. We present to you the 15 most mysterious artifacts who forced scientific world think about the correctness of existing theories.
1. Spheres from Klerksdorp.
According to rough estimates, these mysterious artifacts are about 3 billion years old. They are disc-shaped and spherical objects. Corrugated balls are found in two types: some made of bluish metal, monolithic, interspersed white matter, others, on the contrary, are hollow, and the cavity is filled with white spongy material. The exact number of spheres is unknown to anyone, since miners with the help of kmd still continue to extract them from the rock near the city of Klerksdorp, located in South Africa.
2. Drop stones.
In the Bayan-Kara-Ula mountains, which are located in China, a unique find was made, the age of which is 10 - 12 thousand years. Drop stones, numbering in the hundreds, resemble gramophone records. These are stone discs with a hole in the middle and a spiral engraving applied to the surface. Some scientists are inclined to believe that the disks serve as carriers of information about extraterrestrial civilization.
3. Antikythera mechanism.
In 1901, the Aegean Sea revealed to scientists the secret of a sunken Roman ship. Among other surviving antiquities, a mysterious mechanical artifact was found that was made about 2000 years ago. Scientists managed to recreate a complex and innovative invention for that time. The Antikythera mechanism was used by the Romans for astronomical calculations. Interestingly, the differential gear used in it was invented only in the 16th century, and the skill of the miniature parts from which the amazing device was assembled is not inferior to the skill of watchmakers of the 18th century.
4. Ica stones.
Unique stones were discovered in the Peruvian province of Ica by surgeon Javier Cabrera. Ica stones are processed volcanic rock covered with engravings. But the whole mystery is that among the images there are dinosaurs (brontosaurs, pterosaurs and triceraptors). Perhaps, despite all the arguments of learned anthropologists, the ancestors of modern man were already thriving and creative in the times when these giants roamed the earth?
5. Baghdad battery.
In 1936, a strange-looking vessel sealed with a concrete stopper was discovered in Baghdad. Inside the mysterious artifact was a metal rod. Subsequent experiments showed that the vessel performed the function of an ancient battery, since by filling a structure similar to the Baghdad battery with the electrolyte available at that time, it was possible to obtain electricity of 1 V. Now you can argue who owns the title of the founder of the doctrine of electricity, because the Baghdad battery is 2000 years older than Alessandro Volta.
6. The oldest “spark plug”.
In the Coso Mountains in California, an expedition that was looking for new minerals found a strange artifact, its appearance and properties strongly resemble a “spark plug.” Despite its dilapidation, one can confidently distinguish a ceramic cylinder, inside of which there is a magnetized two-millimeter metal rod. And the cylinder itself is enclosed in a copper hexagon. The age of the mysterious find will surprise even the most inveterate skeptic - it is more than 500,000 years old!
7. Stone balls of Costa Rica.
The three hundred stone balls scattered along the coast of Costa Rica vary in age (from 200 BC to 1500 AD) and in size. However, it is still not clear to scientists exactly how ancient people made them and for what purposes.
8. Planes, tanks and submarines of Ancient Egypt.
There is no doubt that the Egyptians built the pyramids, but could the same Egyptians have thought of constructing an airplane? Scientists have been asking this question ever since a mysterious artifact was discovered in one of the Egyptian caves in 1898. The shape of the device is similar to an airplane, and if it was given an initial speed, it could easily fly. The fact that in the era of the New Kingdom the Egyptians were aware of such technical inventions as an airship, a helicopter and a submarine is told by a fresco on the ceiling of a temple located near Cairo.
9. Human palm print, 110 million years old.
And this is not at all an age for humanity, if you take and add here such a mysterious artifact as a fossilized finger from the Arctic part of Canada, belonging to a person and having the same age. And a footprint found in Utah, and not just a foot, but one shod in a sandal, is 300 - 600 million years old! You wonder, so when did humanity begin?
10. Metal pipes from Saint-Jean-de-Livet.
The age of the rock from which the metal pipes were extracted is 65 million years, therefore, the artifact was made at the same time. Wow, Iron Age. One more strange find extracted from Scottish rock dating back to the Lower Devonian period, that is, 360 - 408 million years ago. This mysterious artifact was a metal nail.
In 1844, the Englishman David Brewster reported that an iron nail had been discovered in a block of sandstone in one of the Scottish quarries. His cap was so “grown” into the stone that it was impossible to suspect the falsification of the find, although the age of the sandstone dating back to the Devonian period is about 400 million years.
Already 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 London, in the state of Texas, during the splitting of sandstone from the Ordovician period (Paleozoic, 500 million years ago), an iron hammer with the remains of a wooden handle was discovered. If we discard man, who did not exist at that time, it turns out that trilobites and dinosaurs smelted iron and used it for economic purposes. If we put aside the stupid mollusks, then we need to somehow explain finds, for example, such as this one: in 1968, the Frenchmen Druet and Salfati discovered in the quarries of Saint-Jean-de-Livet, in France, oval-shaped metal pipes, the age of which, if dated from the Cretaceous strata, it is 65 million years old - the era of the last reptiles.
Or this one: in mid-19th century century, blasting operations were carried out in Massachusetts, and among the fragments of stone blocks a metal vessel was discovered, which was torn in half by a blast wave. It was a vase about 10 centimeters high, made of metal resembling zinc in color. The walls of the vessel were decorated with images of six flowers in the form of a bouquet. The rock in which this strange vase was kept belonged to the beginning of the Paleozoic (Cambrian), when life was barely emerging on earth - 600 million years ago.
It cannot be said that the scientists completely took water into their mouths: I had to read that a nail and a hammer could fall into a crack and be filled with soil waters, with the formation of dense rock around them over time. Even if the vase fell through with the hammer, there was no way the pipes in French quarries could have reached the depths by accident.
11. Iron mug in coal
It is not known what a scientist would say if in a coal lump, instead of an imprint ancient plant, I would find... an iron mug. Would a coal seam be dated by a man from the Iron Age, or still to the Carboniferous period, when there weren't even dinosaurs? And such an object was found, and until recently that mug was kept in one of the private museums of America, in Southern Missouri, although with the death of the owner, the trace of the scandalous object was lost, to the great, it should be noted, relief of learned men. However, there was a photograph left.
The mug contained the following document, signed by Frank Kenwood: “In 1912, while I was working at the municipal power plant in Thomas, Oklahoma, I came across a massive lump of coal. It was too big and I had to break it with a hammer. This iron mug fell out of the block, leaving behind a hole in the coal. An employee of the company named Jim Stoll witnessed how I broke the block and how the mug fell out of it. I was able to find out the origin of the coal - it was mined in the Wilburton mines in Oklahoma." According to scientists, the coal mined in Oklahoma mines dates back 312 million years, if, of course, not dated by circle. Or did man live together with trilobites - these shrimps of the past?
12. Leg on a trilobite
This is a trilobite crushed by a shoe! The fossil was discovered by a passionate shellfish lover, William Meister, who was exploring the area around Antelope Spring, Utah, in 1968. He split a piece of shale and saw the following picture (in the photo - a split stone).
The imprint of the shoe of the right foot is visible, under which were two small trilobites. Scientists explain this as a play of nature, and are ready to believe in a find only if there is a whole chain of similar traces. A Maister is not a specialist, but a draftsman, free time looking for antiquity, but his reasoning is sound: the imprint of the shoe was found not on the surface of hardened clay, but after splitting a piece: the chip fell along the imprint, along the boundary of the compaction caused by the pressure of the shoe. However, they don’t want to talk to him: after all, man, according to evolutionary theory, did not live in the Cambrian period. There weren't even dinosaurs then. Or... the geochronology is false.
13.The sole of the shoe is on an ancient stone
In 1922, American geologist John Reid conducted a search in Nevada. Unexpectedly, he discovered a clear imprint of a shoe sole on the stone. A photograph of this wonderful find has still been preserved.
Also in 1922, an article written by Dr. W. Ballou appeared in the New York Sunday American. He wrote: “Some time ago, the famous geologist John T. Reid, while searching for fossils, suddenly froze in confusion and surprise at the rock under his feet. There was what looked like a human print, but not a bare foot, but the sole of a shoe that had turned to stone. The forefoot has disappeared, but retains the contour of at least two-thirds of the sole. There was a clearly visible thread around the outline, which, as it turned out, attached a welt to the sole. This is how a fossil was found, which is today the biggest mystery for science, since it was found in a rock that is at least 5 million years old.”
The geologist took the cut piece of rock to New York, where it was examined by several professors from the American Museum of Natural History and a geologist from Columbia University. Their conclusion was clear: the rock is 200 million years old - Mesozoic, Triassic period. However, the imprint itself was recognized, both by these and all other scientific heads... as a play of nature. Otherwise we would have to admit that people wear shoes embroidered with threads, lived with dinosaurs nearby.
14. Two mysterious Cylinders
In 1993, Philip Reef became the owner of another amazing find. While digging a tunnel in the mountains of California, two mysterious Cylinders were discovered; they resemble the so-called “cylinders of the Egyptian pharaohs.”
But their properties are completely different from them. They consist half of platinum, half of an unknown metal. If they are heated, for example, to 50°C, then they maintain this temperature for several hours, regardless of the ambient temperature. Then they cool almost instantly to air temperature. If an electric current is passed through them, they change color from silver to black, and then return to their original color. Undoubtedly, the cylinders contain other secrets that have yet to be discovered. According to radiocarbon dating, the age of these artifacts is approximately 25 million years.
15. Mayan Crystal Skulls
According to the most widely accepted story, the “Skull of Destiny” was found in 1927 by English explorer Frederick A. Mitchell-Hedges among the Mayan ruins of Lubaantun (modern Belize).
Others claim that the scientist bought this item at Sotheby's in London in 1943. Whatever the reality, this rock crystal skull is so perfectly carved that it appears to be a priceless work of art.
So, if we consider the first hypothesis to be correct (according to which the skull is a Mayan creation), then a whole rain of questions falls upon us.
Scientists believe that the Skull of Doom is in some ways technically impossible. Weighing almost 5 kg, and being a perfect replica of a woman's skull, it has a completeness that would be impossible to achieve without the use of more or less modern methods, ways that the Mayan culture possessed and which we do not know about.
The skull is perfectly polished. Its jaw is a separate hinged part from the rest of the skull. It has long attracted (and will likely continue to do so to a somewhat lesser extent) experts from a variety of disciplines.
It is also worth mentioning the relentless attribution of supernatural abilities to him by a group of esotericists, such as telekinesis, the emission of an unusual aroma, and color changes. The existence of all these properties is difficult to prove.
The skull was subjected to various analyses. One of the inexplicable things is that made of quartz glass, and therefore having a hardness of 7 on the Mohs scale (a scale of mineral hardness from 0 to 10), the skull was able to be carved without hard cutting materials such as ruby and diamond.
Studies of the skull carried out by the American company Hewlett-Packard in the 1970s determined that in order to achieve such perfection, it would have to be sanded for 300 years.
Could the Mayans have deliberately designed this type of work to be completed 3 centuries later? The only thing we can say with certainty is that the Skull of Fate is not the only one of its kind.
Several such objects have been found in various places on the planet, and they are created from other materials, similar to quartz. These include a complete jadeite skeleton discovered in the China/Mongolian region, made on a smaller scale than human scale, estimated to be approx. in 3500-2200 BC
There are doubts about the authenticity of many of these artifacts, but there is one thing 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 conventionally, they can be called “unknown fossil objects” or NIO for short. “There is no doubt about AUTHENTICITY” Such finds are actually known to science.
atlantida-pravda-i-vimisel.blogspot.ru/2 011/04/blog-post_6159.html
Many readers (mostly skeptics) often ask the question: if we follow the statement that there used to be a highly developed civilization on Earth, then where are its traces? Remains of high-tech metal products, rusting equipment, gadgets. Or a mention and their images in ancient manuscripts.
It seems to me that the technocracy of the civilization of the past was not the same as we imagine it based on our modern life. Such a level and volume of production of products, apparently, did not exist. I think the goals of production were not like now: produce, sell and make a profit (added value). There was no conveyor belt or industrial production like there is now. But there were high-tech products. Whether they were produced on Earth or inherited from more developed civilizations that had contact with earthlings is unknown. Some of the finds can be found below. I think many have already heard about some of them.
I post information about artifacts that have images and photographs. I’m not talking about finds like the Tisul princess, because... There is no photographic evidence available.
Artifact from Koso
The Coso Artifact is a spark plug discovered in 1961 inside a nodule found in the Coso Mountains near Olancha, California, USA.
The artifact was found on February 13, 1961 during the collection of geodes on Mount Coso near the Californian settlement of Olancha. It was a stone formation, and when sawed, a thick round-shaped slice of white ceramic with a two-millimeter metal rod in the center was revealed inside. The ceramic cylinder itself was placed inside a hexagon made of oxidized copper and some other unidentified materials.
In May 1961, Desert magazine published the first article detailing the discovery. In 1963, the artifact was on display for three months at the Eastern California Independence Museum. After 1969, the trace of the artifact from Koso was lost.
Official explanation: Research by Pierre Stromberg and Paul Heinrich has shown that the artifact is a Champion automotive spark plug, similar to those commonly used in the 1920s on Ford Model T and Model A engines, embedded in a ferrous nodule.
If this is so, then it is necessary to reconsider the rate of fossilization processes and the formation of nodules.

Artifact from a piece of coal in Kyshtym
In the city of Kyshtym, Chelyabinsk region, Dmitry Eroshkin bought coal and brought it to his home. While unloading it, he noticed that one of the pieces of coal was too heavy and broke it with a shovel. It turned out that there was a metal object inside the coal.
It looks like a piece of a blank (ingot) into which metal is cast
When the author of the find tried to scratch the surface of the object, it turned out to be dull gray in color. The magnet is attracted to this artifact. It remains a mystery how this object of unknown metal ended up in a piece of coal.
A resident of Vladivostok found a metal rack similar to the part. Dmitry ordered coal for the winter. I noticed that something was pressed into one of the ordinary pieces of coal, in shape resembling either a rod or a lath. Having carefully broken the piece, they removed from it an irregularly shaped rod, a little more than 7 centimeters long, all covered with stuck black coal. After control grinding, silver-colored metal was discovered under the scale. It was not magnetic, it was soft and light. The most interesting thing was that when cleaning the rod, the teeth and the pitch-interval between them were exposed. The find was very similar to a toothed metal rack created artificially.
This coal was brought to Primorye from Khakassia, from the Chernogorsk deposit.
The answer to the question of what metal the rail is made of was given by an X-ray diffraction analysis carried out by Valery Dvuzhilny. It turned out that the find was made of very pure aluminum - with microimpurities of magnesium of only 2-4 percent and carbon impurities.
This in itself was surprising, because humanity usually uses pure aluminum very rarely. Mainly alloys with manganese, silicon, copper. There are alloys with magnesium, but it is usually up to 10 percent, plus alloying additives from titanium, zirconium, and beryllium. And this alloy was not like any of those used in our time!
Having found out the composition of the rod, we found the answer to the question of how the part could be preserved after millions of years: pure aluminum is covered with a durable film of oxides, which prevents further corrosion.
Another discovery: it turned out that the material contains from 28 to 75 percent carbon.
Possible original mechanism
I don’t indicate the dating of such finds, because... officially they are dated by the age of coal - at least 300 million years. Coal could have been formed much later. I put forward a hypothesis
Ayuda artifact
In 1974, near the Romanian city of Ayud on the river bank, a group of workers discovered three objects in the sand at a depth of 10 meters. Two of the objects were mastodon bones, and the third was a piece of metal.
It was shaped like a wedge and had several holes.
The analysis showed that the artifact is a complex alloy of 12 different elements, the main of which is aluminum - it contains 89% by volume. The remaining 11% is copper, silicon, zinc, lead, tin, zirconium, cadmium, nickel, cobalt, bismuth, silver. It is curious that aluminum was first produced only in 1825.
The Ayuda artifact is amazing both in itself and due to the fact that it was found along with the bones of mastodons, the last of which, according to official data, became extinct 10,000 years ago.
The leg of a spacecraft support or the “tooth” of a mining machine, an excavator?

Transformer in stone from Kosovo
Photographer-researcher Ismet Smaili in the Sharri Mountains, Kosovo, found a mysterious artifact that closely resembles an electromagnetic coil. The object is, as it were, “soldered” into the stone.
Also, judging by appearance, it is possible that this is a LATR (linear autotransformer), or just an inductor
It is possible that it was filled with some kind of concrete composition, liquid stone.
Something was screwed to the top
But let’s not rule out the skeptics’ version that this is a device from the mid-20th century. fell into the mud, which turned to stone, as in this example:
gogaverylong I even found a similar modern transformer:
Current transformer
It is possible that during an accident due to high currents, the ceramics melted and poured the device into a monolithic stone

Misplaced Artifact - Williams Enigmalite
In 1998, electrical engineer John J. Williams discovered what looked like an electrical connector sticking out of the ground. He dug it up and found that it was a three-prong plug inserted into a small rock.
According to Williams, the stone was found during an excursion to rural areas V North America, far from human settlements, industrial complexes, airports, factories, and electronic or nuclear installations. Although this diminishes the significance of his discovery, Williams refuses to reveal the exact location where the discovery was made, lest the site be plundered for other mysterious relics.
Known as "Enigmalite" (a combination of enigma and monolith) or "Petradox", the device reveals the undeniable presence of an electronic component embedded in a naturally formed, hard granite stone composed of quartz and feldspar (including very small percentages of mica).
Williams forbids destruction of the specimen; he used powerful X-rays, which showed that the matrix component extended into an opaque internal structure within the stone.
The artifact is also very similar to a heel for women's boots:
Find in China - a screw inside a rock
Prehistoric gadgets and mechanisms
Sumerians with clocks?
Sumerian mobile phone
The video, presented on the YouTube channel of ufologists Paranormal Crucible, shows photographs of an object believed to be a clay copy of a modern mobile phone.
It is possible that this is a cargo cult
Despite the fact that there is no reliable information about the find, it is reported that the “telephone” was discovered during excavations in Salzburg in a cultural layer that dates back to the 13th century AD. Many are sure that this is a hoax, and that “a mysterious thirteenth-century artifact with cuneiform writing that strangely resembles a cell phone” is just an ordinary sign.
Baghdad battery
In the early 30s of the last century, when archaeological excavations In the Baghdad area, a mysterious object was discovered, which became conventionally called the “Baghdad Battery”. It consisted of a thirteen-centimeter vessel, through the neck of which an iron rod was brought out. In the middle of the vessel there was a copper cylinder, and inside the cylinder there was another iron rod.
Based on the schematic diagram of the artifact, scientists reasonably assumed that they had unearthed an ancient galvanic cell, which could well create an electrical voltage of up to 1 volt.
According to the proposed version, this battery could have been used by the ancient Mesopotamians for the process of galvanization or purification of gold. However, it still remains a mystery why the technology for manufacturing such elements was forgotten, and nothing similar has yet been discovered in other regions of the Earth.

Golden airplanes of the Incas
Historians call them fish. The museum has golden figurines of flying fish, but they are realistic. These ones don't look like fish.
It is also possible that these are models, a cargo cult, attempts to depict what the Indians saw
Forgotten technological inventions from the recent past - 19th century..
Over the last hundred years, many artifacts have been discovered that are at least puzzling. In other words, these are those objects that, by their existence, do not fit into any of the accepted general theories of the origin of human life on Earth and all of earth’s history as a whole.
Based on biblical sources, we can find out that God created man in his own image just a few thousand years ago. According to orthodox science, the age of man (say, erectus - upright man) can be dated no deeper than 2 million years, and the beginning of the formation of the ancient civilization only in tens of thousands of years.
But could it be that the Bible and science are wrong, and the age of civilizations is much deeper in the centuries than it seems? There are many archaeological finds indicating that the development of life on the blue planet may not be as we know it. Here are a few artifacts ready to break the usual pattern of opinions.
1. Sphere balls.
Over the past years, miners in South Africa strange spheres made of metal were raised from the bowels of the earth. The origin of objects with a diameter of several centimeters is completely unknown. And what’s curious is that some of the balls have an engraving of three grooves parallel to each other, encircling the entire ball.
How it was cast and what its purpose is is unclear. But what irritates some scientists even more is the date of origin - 2.8 billion years! Erectus, for example, only learned to fry food 1.8 million years ago. It is difficult to imagine who could have made spheres during the Precambrian period (this is evidenced by the rock layers). - unless, of course, these are the terrible weapons of the mythical aliens who destroyed the dinosaurs. Amazing artifact balls can be classified into two types: some are made of metal interspersed with white, others are hollowed out inside and filled with a spongy white composition.
By the way, criticism regarding these areas is also interesting. Some believe that it was clearly made by an intelligent being. But others claim the natural origin of these unwanted artifacts. By the way, it is precisely such finds that are also called “forbidden archeology” - such objects do not fit into the framework of the outlined theories about the origin of man.
2. Incredible stone balls of Costa Rica.
As you can see more than once, our ancestors liked spherical shapes. So, while making our way through the impassable thickets of Costa Rica in 1930 - which was justified by the development of the territory - we unexpectedly came across perfectly round balls.
The balls, turned from a single piece of stone, were certainly made by an intelligent creature capable of thinking, which happened in the not-so-distant past, but the mystery of the unknown is present - who, why, and with what help did it is unknown. How did the ancient masters manage to achieve a perfect circle without a bunch of necessary gadgets? The sizes of spherically smooth objects vary, from giant ones weighing 16 tons to small ones the size of a tennis ball. Dozens of Costa Rican stone balls lay as if giants and children were playing bowling here.
3. Incredible fossils.
Archeology, paleontology, very important sciences that reveal to us the secret of the life of the planet in the past. However, sometimes the depths of the earth reveal something amazing. Fossils - as each of us knows, this formation occurred thousands and millions of years ago, and it is pointless to object to this, but it is also difficult to believe in the finds stuck in them.
Here, for example, is a fossilized human handprint found in limestone whose age
The rock formation that “recorded” the remains for centuries dates back to 100-130 million years - an unthinkable date, since humans could not yet live then. This is truly an artifact from the category of “forbidden archaeology.” It dates back about 110 million years. So the question arises: who could have imprinted their imprint on the Walk of Fame when there was no trace of the person yet? Here's another case from the same category of forbidden archeology: an "abnormal" find of a fossilized human hand was discovered in Bogota (Colombia).
4. Metal objects before the Bronze Age.
And in 1912, workshop workers saw a metal pot fall out of broken coal. But nails were also found in sandstone from the Mesozoic era. A piece of pipe, 65 million years old, is stored in private collection. According to all theories, man is a young creature on earth, and in theory could not process metal. But then who made the flattened metal pipes that were dug up in France?
However, there are many other anomalies of this kind, which are not clear how to deal with, since they clearly fall outside the general idea of human development.
5. Discs of the Dropa tribe, ordinary stones or an alien artifact.
The history of Dropa discs is very, very mysterious (they are also known as Dzopa, who call Dropas), their origin is unknown, and often their very existence is for some reason denied despite the facts.
Each disk, 30 cm in diameter, has two grooves diverging towards the edges in the form of a double helix.
The discovery of the Dropa stone disks occurred in 1938 and belongs to a research expedition led by Dr. Chi Pu Tei in Bayan-Kara-Ula, a place lying between Tibet and China. It is believed that the discs belonged to an incredibly ancient and highly developed civilization. Hieroglyphs are written inside the grooves, as some kind of marking carrying the source of encoded information. According to various sources, at least 716 stone disks were discovered, approximately 12,000 years old.
From conversations with local residents it is known that previously the stone disks belonged to the ancestors of the Dropa tribe - who were aliens from distant star worlds! According to legend, the discs contain unique recordings that could be reproduced if there was a “phonograph” - the discs are unusually similar to small vinyl records.
According to the legends of the tribe, approximately 10 - 12 thousand years ago, an alien ship made an emergency landing in these places - (the event successfully echoes the global flood). So, the ancestors of the current Dropa tribe arrived on this ship. And the stone disks are all that has survived from those people.
Briefly speaking about this find, we can note the following; The disks were discovered in rock burial caves, in which lay the remains of small skeletons, whose height of the largest during life did not exceed 130 centimeters. Large heads, fragile, thin bones - all those signs that are formed from a long stay in weightlessness.
6. Ica stones.
Very interesting and curious stones, it must be said, were found near the Peruvian town of Ica, small, weighing 15-20 grams, large ones weighing half a ton - on some there are paintings of eroticism, the sides of others are decorated with idols. Still others depict the absolutely impossible - a clearly depicted battle between man and dinosaurs. It is completely incomprehensible where the ancients learned about brontosaurs and stegosaurs in order to draw animals that became extinct a hundred million years ago so clearly. Since the early 1930s, the father of Dr. Javier Cabrera, while studying the burials of the Incas, found stones with engravings on the sides in the tombs (now there are over 50 thousand stones and boulders). Dr. Cabrera, continued his father’s hobby and, cataloging andesite artifacts, collected huge collection amazing objects from ancient times. The age of the finds is estimated to be between 500 and 1500 years, and they subsequently became known as the “Ica stones.”
It’s scary to even think about how other images relate to this - these are heart surgeries, as well as the practice of transplantology. Agree, such finds are shocking, and of course contradict modern chronology events, or rather, such pictures completely destroy the entire chronological chain of earthly history. There is only one way to explain this: listen to the opinion of Professor of Medicine Cabrera, who says that a powerful and developed culture once lived on Earth.
The doctor's stones, and in ten years the collection has grown to 11 thousand copies, have not received recognition, and are considered a modern fake, but this does not apply to all copies, some actually came from the depths of centuries. And yet, the paintings on them do not fit into the framework of current theories about the age and development of civilizations on Earth, which means they also fall into the “forbidden archeology” basket.
By the way, Dr. Cabrera is a descendant of Don Jeronimo Luis de Cabrera y Toleda, the Spanish conquistador and founder of the city of Ica in 1563. It was M.D. Cabrera who made the artifacts widely known.
7. A spark plug for a Ford that is thousands of years old.
It was only later that something made of porcelain was discovered inside, in the center of which there was a tube made of light metal. It is unclear with what technology this could have been done about half a million years ago. But experts noticed one more thing - some strange formation in the form of a nodule. Of course, the internal combustion engine is not a new device. Although when Wallace Lane, Maxie and Mike Mikesell stumbled upon an unusual rock in the California mountains in 1961, they had no idea that the artifact lying inside was about 500,000 years old. At first it was normal beautiful stone, for sale in the store.
As further work with the artifact, including x-ray examination, revealed, there is a small spring located at the end of the found riddle. Those who have studied this find say that it closely resembles a spark plug! - and this is a little thing that is estimated to be half a million years old.
However, an investigation carried out by Pierre Stromberg and Paul Heinrich, with the help of American spark plug collectors, suggests that the artifact dates back to the 1920s. Supposedly very similar ones were used in Ford Model T and Model A engines, made of stainless metal. So, in principle, this artifact can be considered critical in terms of age and origin. Although it’s surprising how she managed to petrify in such a short time of 40 years?
8. Antikythera mechanism
As it was possible to determine, the ancient device with many gears and wheels was made from 100 to 200 years before the birth of Christ. At first, experts decided that it was some kind of astrolabe instrument. But as X-ray studies showed, the mechanism turned out to be more complex than thought - the device contained a system of differential gears. This artifact, which caused bewilderment, was recovered by divers from the site of a shipwreck in 1901 off the coast of Antikythera, a place located northwest of Crete. Divers, extracting bronze figurines and looking for other cargo of the ship, found an unknown mechanism covered with corrosion mold with a bunch of gears - which was named Antikythera.
But as history shows, at that time such solutions did not exist; they appeared only 1400 years later! It remains a mystery who calculated this mechanism, who could have made such a thin instrument about 2,000 years ago. However, it can be assumed that this was once a completely ordinary technology for manufacturing complex devices, they just forgot about it one day and then rediscovered it.
9. An ancient battery from Baghdad.
The photograph shows an amazing artifact of quite ancient times - this is a battery 2 years old.
As the experts who studied the find concluded, in order to obtain an electric current it was necessary to fill the vessel with a liquid of an acidic or alkaline composition - and here you go, electricity is ready. By the way, there is nothing surprising in this battery; according to experts, it was most likely used for electroplating with gold. Maybe it was so, as experts say, but then how could this knowledge be lost for 1800 years? 000 years! This curious artifact was found in the ruins of a Parthian village - it is believed that the battery dates back to 226 - 248 BC. Why a battery was needed there and what was connected to it is unknown, but a tall clay vessel had a copper cylinder and a rod of oxidized iron inside.
10. Ancient plane or toy?
Look at the artifacts of ancient Egyptian civilization and Central America, they strangely resemble the airplanes we are familiar with. It is possible that in an Egyptian tomb in 1898, they found only wooden toy, but it’s too vividly reminiscent of an airplane with wings and a fuselage. In addition, as experts believe, the object has a good aerodynamic shape, and is most likely capable of staying in the air and flying. Yes, looking through artifacts from the “forbidden archeology” section, you never cease to be amazed at how developed ancient civilizations were - for example, the Sumerians 6,000 years ago owned the world - and where, and most importantly how, these technologies important for the development of life ended up forgotten.
And if with the Egyptian " Sakkarskaya bird" is a rather controversial issue and is subject to criticism, then a small artifact from America made of gold about 1000 years ago can easily be mistaken for a tabletop model of an airplane - or, for example, a space shuttle. The object is so carefully and carefully designed that there is even a pilot’s seat on an ancient plane.
A trinket from an ancient civilization, or a model of a real airplane from ancient times, how can you comment on such finds? - Knowledgeable people speak simply; intelligent beings lived on Earth much earlier than we think about it. Ufologists offer a version with an extraterrestrial civilization that allegedly came to Earth and gave people a lot of technical knowledge. Did our ancestors really possess the greatest secrets and knowledge, which, under the influence of a mysterious factor, were forgotten/erased from the memory of mankind?
The world is full of strange and mysterious artifacts. Some are almost certainly hoaxes, others are related real stories. Our review contains 10 real-life artifacts, the origin of which scientists cannot explain even today.
1. Sumerian king list
During excavations in Iraq on the territory of ancient Sumer, it was found manuscript, which lists all the kings of this state. Researchers initially thought that this was an ordinary historical document, but then it was discovered that many of the kings were mythological characters. Some rulers who should have been included in the list were not included. Others had incredibly long reigns or mythical events associated with them, such as the Sumerian version of the Great Flood and the exploits of Gilgamesh.
2. Codex Gigas (or "The Devil's Bible")
The most famous ancient manuscript is the Codex Gigas, better known as " Devil's Bible". Only 2 people can lift this book, made of 160 skins. Legend has it that the Codex Gigas was written by a monk who, after being sentenced to death, according to which the monk had to be walled up alive in a wall, made a deal with the devil. With the help The monk wrote the book in one night (and, oddly enough, the handwriting in the book is surprisingly clear and identical, as if it was actually written in a short period of time. However, scientists believe that such a work. would have taken from 5 years (if written without interruption) to 30 years. The manuscript contains seemingly incompatible texts: the complete Latin Vulgate Bible, Josephus' Antiquities of the Jews, a collection of medical works by Hippocrates and Theophilus, the Chronicle of Bohemia by Cosmas of Prague, "Etymological Encyclopedia" by Isidore of Seville, exorcism rites, magical formulas and an illustration of the heavenly city.
3. Easter Island writing
Almost everyone knows about the famous Easter Island statues, but there are other artifacts associated with this place, the mystery of which has not been solved until now. 24 wooden carved tablets were found that contain a system of symbols. These symbols are called " rongorongo", and they are considered an ancient proto-writing form. To date, they have never been deciphered.
Typically, archaeologists argue that religion, the building of temples and the development of complex rituals, are by-products of human settlement. This belief was shaken by a discovery on the Urfa Plain in southeastern Turkey. Gobekli Tepe Temple. Its ruins may be the oldest organized place worship known to man. The ruins of Göbekli Tepe date back to 9500 BC, meaning the temple was built 5000 years before Stonehenge.
In regions that were once within the sphere of influence of the Roman Empire, from Wales to Mediterranean Sea- find small strange objects called " dodecahedrons"They are hollow stone or bronze objects, 4-12 centimeters in diameter with 12 flat pentagonal faces and holes of various sizes on each side. Small handles protrude from each corner. 27 theories have been put forward as to what they are, but none none of them could be proven.
Around 6,000 mysterious artefacts have been found in rivers and marshes across Ireland and have become known as the Fulachtai Fia. In the UK, where they are also found, they are called " Burnt mounds". Fulacht fiadh is a horseshoe-shaped mound of soil and stone, in the center of which a trench filled with water is dug. Fulachtai Fia, as a rule, are found singly, but sometimes in groups of 2-6. In this case, there is always a source of water nearby. Why they were built remains a mystery.
7. Big Zayatsky labyrinth, Russia
Bolshoi Zayatsky Island, which is part of the Solovetsky archipelago in northern Russia, hides another mystery. Back in 3000 BC. not only villages and places of worship were built here, but also irrigation systems. But the most mysterious objects on the island are spiral labyrinths, the largest of which has a diameter of 24 meters. The structures are built from two rows of boulders covered with vegetation. What they were used for is unknown.
8. Witch bottles, Europe and USA
In 2014, archaeologists excavating the site of an ancient battle in Nottinghamshire made a strange discovery: they found a 15-centimeter " witch bottle"Similar vessels were used in Europe and America for black witchcraft in the 1600s - 1700s. They were usually made of ceramics or glass. In total, about 200 such objects were found, and they often contained the remains of needles, nails, fingernails , hair and even urine. It is believed that witch bottles were used to protect the owner from evil spells and the harmful influence of witches.
9. Lizard-like figurines of Ubaid, Iraq
Strange things are found in Iraq Ubaid figurines. They depict lizard-like and snake-like people in various poses. All figurines have abnormally elongated heads and almond-shaped eyes. Many of these figurines are found in human burials, so they are believed to mark some form of status.
10. Rat King
Several museums around the world contain strange, once-living exhibits of a legendary beast from the Middle Ages called " Rat King"A rat king is formed when several rats intertwine or grow together with their tails. The result is a kind of “nest” of rats, whose muzzles are directed outward, and in the center there is a knot of tails. The largest of such artifacts contains 32 rats. Today such mummified objects are found, but not a single living anomaly of this kind was discovered.
Over the decision of many global problems scientists sometimes work for decades on humanity. We have collected - from medicine to space. Perhaps these solutions will become the technologies of the future.
