According to scientists, the age of the planet Earth is 4,000,000,000 (four billion) years,
and all modern humanity is unique, one and only, developed from the "amoeba" through evolution and is the only intelligent civilization in the entire galaxy...
To believe or not to believe is everyone's business. This article contains possible traces of ancient civilizations, which modern science considers to be natural phenomena or the activities of unusually talented Egyptians, Indians, ancient Greeks, etc.
So let's go:
1. Baalbek- an ancient city in Lebanon (first mentioned in the 14th century BC), the former largest religious center and a place of mass pilgrimage. However, at present, this world landmark is undeservedly, and perhaps specially forgotten.
In addition to the relatively "new" remains of the temples of Jupiter, Bacchus and Venus, Baalbek has huge terraces of hewn monoliths, which are much larger than those of Egypt.
They are built from gigantic carefully fitted stone blocks measuring 11 x 4.6 x 3.3 meters and weighing over 300 tons,
and three of them, known as Baalbeck's trilithon, reach a weight of more than 800 tons each.
In the quarry at a distance of about a kilometer from the terrace lies the southern stone - officially recognized as the largest processed stone weighing more than a thousand tons!!!
But science stubbornly continues to assert that such megaliths were transported using primitive levers and capstans. Oh well!
2. Meteora("floating in the air") - unusual rocks in the north of Greece, suspiciously resembling even larger artificially created megalithic structures.
The grandiose rocks suddenly settled on the flat surface of the Thessalian plain.
It is no coincidence that monasteries are located on the tops of the rocks (closer to the Gods).
3. Monument Valley. A very similar pattern is observed in Monument Valley in Arizona.
It seems that the lonely rocks in the desert are the ruins of the giant buildings of the metropolis,
remaining after the use of super-powerful nuclear weapons.
4. Snowhenge- a complex of circular and horseshoe-shaped megalithic structures located in England.
It consists of menhirs - roughly processed stones of great weight. But the most surprising thing is not their weight.
Modern researchers tend to assume that Stonehenge is an ancient observatory.
The stone observatory indicates the exact location of the planets in our solar system, allows you to track not only the movement of individual celestial bodies, but also entire constellations, in particular Orion, Sirius and the Pleiades.
5. Egyptian pyramids- the world famous artifact of ancient civilizations,
which, despite the obvious high-tech, continue to be considered the tombs of the pharaohs.
6. Machu Picchu("old peak") - high-mountainous "city of the Incas" in Peru, located on top of a mountain range at an altitude of 2450 meters above sea level.
In addition to its impregnable location,
Machu Picchu is known for its polygonal masonry.
With such masonry, stones of different shapes and sizes are laid at arbitrary angles without the use of a bonding solution. The strength of the structure is achieved through perfect processing and careful fitting of all elements.
7. Cusco- Another ancient city in Peru, the walls of which are lined with unique masonry.
The twelve-cornered stone is a national treasure of Peru.
There are also quite unusual stones.
Filigree megalithic masonry in the Ollantaytambo area.
The chain of defensive fortifications of Sacsayhuaman does resemble a spaceport.
Around a powerful stepped base,
not made of bricks
but from huge stone boulders,
flowing rivers of molten stone.
Impressive?! A real launch pad for rockets.
8. Wailing Wall in Jerusalem also boasts its own megaliths at the base.
The largest of them, the Western Stone, has a size of 13.6 x 3 x 3.3 m and a weight of 517 tons.
9. Teotihuacan(an ancient city on the territory of modern Mexico) is another evidence of the presence of super-civilizations.
Literally translated as "City of the Gods", which, as it were, hints.
The area of the largest cultural center of Mesoamerica was more than 25 square kilometers,
the streets had the correct geometric and spatial orientation,
and the largest buildings are still admired:
temple of Quetzalcoatl,
adorned with dragon heads
Pyramid of the Sun - height 64 meters, base size 225 by 225 meters,
Pyramid of the Moon - height 42 meters, base size 150 by 150 meters,
according to some researchers, it has a multi-layered structure such as a nesting doll and contains seven pyramids.
Surprisingly, according to Wikipedia, even scholars have associated the decline of Teotihuacan with foreign invasion.
10. Tikal- Another amazing city in what is now Guatemala.
The scale of construction is simply breathtaking.
Six large and many small pyramids have already been found and excavated. And the excavations are still going on!
One of the rulers of the stone metropolis walked around in a robe that suspiciously resembled an astronaut's suit and spacesuit.
And, probably, for a reason, Tikal was shown as the base of the rebels in the legendary space saga "Star Wars".
11. Angkor Wat- Lost in the jungle
giant Hindu temple complex in Cambodia.
The territory of the temple (more than 200 hectares) is surrounded around the perimeter by a wide moat and fenced with a high wall 1.5 by 1.3 kilometers.
The central part of Angkor Wat consists of three concentric rectangular buildings, increasing in height towards the center.
This splendor is crowned by five towers built in the shape of a lotus.
It is noteworthy that the Khmer temples were not places of worship of the gods, but served as the dwelling place of the gods.
The entry of ordinary people into the inner part of the temple was strictly forbidden.
The territory of the complex is literally littered with mythical nagas, dragons, unicorns and griffins.
All the stones from which the complex is made are perfectly fitted, polished and covered with kilometers of carvings and bas-reliefs.
For some reason snakes eat people again.
12. Petra(translated from Greek as "stone") - an ancient city located in present-day Jordan.
Petra is famous all over the world for its temples, which are incomprehensibly carved from a single rock:
Ad-Deir temple - height 45 meters,
temple-mausoleum of El-Khazne ("treasury of the pharaohs") - height 40 m.
13. Chichen Itza Maya sacred city in Mexico.
There are many interesting buildings here:
the sun-oriented nine-step pyramid of Kukulkan (El Castillo),
on the steps of which, on the day of the autumn and spring equinoxes, the shadow of a snake effectively slides,
temple of warriors, surrounded by columns,
seven stadiums for ball games (well, what kind of nonsense?),
which are very reminiscent of berths for aircraft with special mounts,
and, attention - the officially recognized observatory of Caracol, surprisingly similar to modern ones.
14. Tiwanaku- the center of an ancient civilization, located on a high plateau in Bolivia.
Here we also see multi-ton megaliths built into the wall from out of nowhere,
and the completely unthinkable blocks in the neighboring Puma Punku, in general, have a complex geometric shape and unique grooves.
How could the Indians do this?
And on this obscenely restored arch, an ancient calendar flaunts at all.
15. Moai- monolithic stone statues on a separate Easter Island in the Pacific Ocean.
Officially it is believed that they are made by local natives.
But how, without advanced technologies, did the locals process solid basalt, and most importantly, move multi-ton giants around the island, and why do the statues have such an unusual appearance?
16. Stone desert Nazca on a high plateau in Peru - with seemingly meaningless lines of white stones laid out more than 2000 years ago.
From a great height, these lines turn into drawings of birds, animals, insects and other unknown creatures,
as well as guide lines and runways.
Oh, and who is waving to us with a pen?
Or not to us?
17. Possibly a "flying god" from an ancient Mayan city Palenque,
whose tomb was discovered in a hidden inner pyramid.
When looking at the drawing of the cover of the sarcophagus, a clear impression is created that it depicts a man in an astronaut's suit, who is surrounded by control devices and controls the unit that spewing flames.
The mask of jade plates also testifies to the unusual appearance of the "astronaut" (the bridge of the nose starts from the middle of the forehead).
Or maybe just imagined?
We have considered far from all the evidence of the possible presence of highly developed civilizations on Earth. There are also stone cities, islands made of basalt pillars, mysterious obelisks, giant statues, multi-ton colossi, traces of terraforming, as well as other artifacts of ancient civilizations.
You can doubt and argue about them, but you can’t keep silent about them ...
I'm sorry for the sim. Read our blog, comprehend the truth and be happy!
Ancient civilizations have always excited the minds of scientists, treasure hunters and lovers of historical puzzles. The Sumerians, Egyptians or Romans left a lot of evidence of their existence, but they were not the first on the planet. In addition to the legends about their rise and fall, there are blank spots in history that have not yet been filled.
All these civilizations were outstanding in their time and in many ways surpassed not only their era, but also modern achievements. But on different reasons, they disappeared from the face of the Earth, having lost their greatness and power. It's not just about the empires that have definitely flourished on the planet, but also about the cultures that may have existed. For example, the well-known Atlantis has not yet been found, but could it even exist?
The editors of InPlanet have compiled a list ancient civilizations, whose legacy still causes heated debate among historians. We present to your attention the 12 greatest empires that left behind a lot of mysteries!
1 Lemuria continent / 4 million years ago
The origins of all ancient civilizations originate from the myth of the mysterious continent of Lemuria, which went under water many millions of years ago. Its existence has been repeatedly mentioned in myths different peoples and philosophical works. They spoke of a highly developed race of apes who had excellent education and developed architecture. According to legend, he was in the Indian Ocean and the main proof of his existence is the island of Madagascar, inhabited by lemurs.
2 Hyperborea / before 11540 BC
The mysterious land of Hyperborea has been haunting the minds of scientists and researchers for many years who want to find at least some evidence of its existence. So, at the moment there is an opinion that Hyperborea was located in the Arctic and was inhabited by the ancestors of the Slavs. At that time, the continent was not yet covered with ice, but blossomed and fragrant. And this, by the way, is possible, because scientists have found that 30-15000 years BC. The climate in the Arctic was favorable.
It is worth noting that attempts to find Hyperborea have been practiced for a long time, for example, Germany and the USSR during the Second World War sent expeditions to search for the lost country. But it was never possible to establish whether there really was a country that became the progenitor of the Slavs.
3 Aroe civilization / 13000 BC
This civilization belongs to the category of mythical, despite the fact that there are a lot of buildings that prove the existence of peoples on the islands of Micronesia, Polynesia and Easter. Ancient cement statues dating back to 10950 BC have been discovered in New Caledonia.
According to legend, the civilization of Aroe, or the Kingdom of the Sun, was formed in the Pacific Ocean after the disappearance of the continent of Lemuria. Among the indigenous inhabitants of these islands, legends still circulate about ancestors capable of flying through the air.
4 Civilizations of the Gobi Desert / approximately 10,000 BC
One more mysterious civilization, the existence of which is disputed. Now the Gobi desert is the most sparsely populated place on the planet, arid and destructive. However, there is an opinion that many thousands of years ago a certain civilization of the White Island lived there, which stood on the same level with Atlantis. It was called the country of Agharti, the underground city, Shambhala and the land of Hsi Wang Mu.
In those years, the desert was the sea, and the White Island towered over it like a green oasis. Scientists have confirmed that this was indeed the case, but the date is confusing - the sea from the Gobi Desert disappeared 40 million years ago. Whether a settlement of sages could exist there at that time, or later, has not been scientifically proven.
5 Atlantis / 9500 BC
This mythical state is perhaps the most famous in the whole world. There is no exact evidence that there really was an island that went under water along with a highly developed civilization. But until now, sailors, historians and adventurers are looking for an underwater city filled with the treasures of ancient Atlantis.
The main proof of the existence of Atlantis is the works of Plato, who described the war of this island with Athens, as a result of which the Atlanteans simply went under water along with the island. There are many theories and myths about this civilization, and even entire scientific movements.
6 Ancient China / 8500 BC - our days
Chinese civilization is recognized as one of the oldest in the world. Scientists believe that its first beginnings appeared 8000 years ago BC. Written sources record the existence of a state called China as early as 3500 years ago. According to this, archaeologists discover pot shards in China dating back to 17-18,000 years BC. The ancient and rich history of China has shown that this state, ruled by dynasties for many millennia, was one of the most developed and strongest in the world.
7 Civilization of Osiris / before 4000 AD
Since officially this civilization cannot be considered to have existed, one can only guess about the dates of its heyday. According to legend, the Osirians were the progenitors of the Egyptian civilization and, accordingly, lived in the Mediterranean basin before their appearance.
Of course, all guesses about this civilization are based on unreliable facts, for example, that the Osirian civilization died due to the fact that the death of Atlantis provoked the flooding of the Mediterranean basin. There is no exact evidence of these events, therefore, only a mass of flooded cities at the bottom of the Mediterranean Sea can be considered as confirmation of a civilization that has gone under water.
8 Ancient Egypt / 4000 BC - VI-VII centuries. AD
The ancient Egyptian civilization existed for about 40 centuries and reached its peak in the middle of this time period. To study this culture, there is a separate science of Egyptology, which studies the diverse history of this empire.
Ancient Egypt had everything it needed for development and prosperity - fertile land in the Nile River valley, religion, state administration and an army. Despite the fact that Ancient Egypt fell and was absorbed by the Roman Empire, there are still traces of this powerful civilization on the planet - a huge Sphinx, ancient pyramids and a lot of historical artifacts.
9 Sumerians and Babylon / 3300 BC - 1000 BC
For a long time, the Sumerian civilization was credited with the title of the first in the world. The Sumerians were the first to engage in crafts, agriculture, pottery and construction. In 2300 BC, this territory was captured by the Babylonians, who, led by Babylon, became the cultural and political center of the Ancient World. Both of these civilizations are the strongest states of Ancient Mesopotamia.
10 Ancient Greece / 3000 BC - I century. BC.
This ancient state was called Hellas and was considered one of the most powerful in the ancient world. Greece, this territory was nicknamed by the Romans, who captured Hellas in the first century BC. For three thousand years of existence, the Greek Empire left behind a rich history, a lot of architectural monuments and many literary masterpieces that are still popular today. What are the myths of ancient Greece!
11 Maya / 2000 BC - 16th century AD
Legends about the power and greatness of this amazing civilization are still circulating and pushing people in search of ancient treasures. In addition to untold riches, the Maya Indians had unique knowledge in astronomy, which allowed them to develop an accurate calendar. They also had amazing knowledge in construction, thanks to which their devastated cities are still included in the UNESCO heritage list.
This highly developed civilization had developed medicine, agriculture, water supply systems and a rich culture. Unfortunately, in the Middle Ages, this empire began to fade, and with the advent of the conquistadors, it completely disappeared.
12 Ancient Rome / 753 BC - V c. AD
The Roman Empire was one of the most powerful in the history of the Ancient World. She left behind a bright mark in history, enslaved many small states and won a lot of bloody wars. Ancient Rome had its own mythology, a powerful army, a management system and was the center of civilization during its heyday.
The Roman Empire gave the world rich cultural heritage and a story that still haunts the minds of scientists. Like all ancient empires, it died out due to exorbitant ambitions and plans to conquer the whole world.
All these ancient civilizations left behind a huge cultural heritage and a lot of mysteries that have yet to be solved. Time will tell whether humanity will be able to find out whether some empires existed or not. In the meantime, we can only be content with conjectures and already existing facts.
Mysterious ancient civilizations, their numerous buildings, sculptures, images and bas-reliefs haunt scientists. Official science claims that the ancient Egyptians, Sumerians, Mayans and other peoples were highly developed for their time, but at the same time it cannot explain at all where they got their amazing knowledge from. Until now, scientists cannot understand how the ancient megaliths were built - numerous pyramids, dolmens, the Sphinx and Stonehenge, temples carved directly into the rocks. After all, to create them, at least the latest technologies of our time are needed. And according to scientists, in those days people used primitive tools.
And this is far from the only problem with the official version of Earth's history. It has long been noted that most of the so-called ancient civilizations seemed to appear out of nowhere, already possessing advanced knowledge and developed culture, and then disappeared into nowhere along with all their achievements and technologies, leaving behind only legends and megaliths. People living now in the territories of these once developed peoples, apparently, have nothing to do with their advanced predecessors - for modern Egyptians, Indians and Iranians, ancient cultures with their megaliths, writing and logic are as mysterious and incomprehensible as we are , Europeans.
One gets the feeling that modern peoples simply came and settled on the ruins of previous developed civilizations, appropriating their territories and partially preserved buildings.
Moreover, the level of development of the "newcomers" did not even closely correspond to the level of achievements of their ancient predecessors. Sometimes it even seems that all these mysterious ancient civilizations that disappeared into nowhere actually had strong ties with each other and a similar culture - there is too much in common between them in terms of architecture and knowledge. It is the amazing architecture and the incredible level of knowledge in the field of mathematics, astronomy, crafts and arts that have always forced researchers to ask one simple question: where could ancient people get their advanced knowledge, which was completely lost and rediscovered already within the framework of a new history known to us?
Gods of ancient myths
Independent researchers have long paid attention to one fact - all the legends of the ancient peoples about the development of civilizations of that period indicate the influence of "aliens", whom the legends call "gods". Assyrian, Babylonian, Sumerian, Egyptian, Indian traditions are so similar in their content that one can only be surprised. The only difference in them lies only in the names of the "gods" themselves, and the whole process of their work is described quite clearly and in the same way.
The Sumerian legends are especially famous for this, which tell how the Anunnaki gods in the amount of 600 people settled on Earth: “He [Enlil, the leader of the expedition] placed three hundred [Anunnaki] in the heavenly patrol ... And he settled six hundred on Earth.” Even the word Anunnaki itself is translated as "(those) fifty, (who) descended from Heaven to Earth."
There are many descriptions of how the gods, appearing from somewhere, taught people crafts, arts and various sciences. For example, among the same Sumerians, it is described how an intelligent creature appeared from the sea, half-man, half-fish, named Oann, who walked through the villages and taught people writing, construction, agriculture, crafts and laws. The same descriptions are found among the ancient Egyptians, among the Indians, and even in the early Christian apocrypha "The Book of Enoch."
Indeed, where could ancient civilizations come from such advanced things and concepts as developed writing and literature, the wheel, schools and roads, parliament and laws, the doctrine of the origin of the Universe and the structure of the Cosmos, money, taxes and medicine, mathematics and astronomy? All of the above - historical facts about the Sumerians who lived on the territory of modern Iraq in the third millennium BC! The Sumerians are rightfully considered the first written civilization on Earth, the progenitors of all other civilizations. It is difficult to judge about the ancestors, since linguists and historians still do not know where the Sumerians came from, where they disappeared and where their language came from. So far, no language close to Sumerian has been found.
ancient painting
Not only myths and legends testify about the alien gods who descended from the sky. After all, the word "god" can be interpreted in any way, and we are unlikely to know what meaning ancient people put into it. But drawings and images are a completely different matter. This is evidence that defies interpretation. And as you know, ancient cultures have left us numerous “strange” images in which flying saucers, rockets, various mechanical devices and faces of creatures that are clearly not of human origin are unmistakably recognizable.
A collection of such rock art, medieval paintings and ancient figurines can be seen in Erik von Däniken's famous film Chariots of the Gods. Spacesuits, aliens, unidentified flying objects and various technical devices are visible on all the works. Some rock paintings date back to 13-6 centuries BC!
There are also references to aliens and unidentified flying objects in the records of medieval historians, which can already be taken more seriously than myths and legends.
For example, the ancient Roman historian Plutarch, the Byzantine historian Leo the Deacon, the Italian sculptor Benvenuto Cellini, and even the Ustyug Chronicle have records of UFO sightings! Descriptions of UFOs in all these sources are quite similar - objects are described that move freely across the sky, have a rounded oblong shape, hang in the sky and easily soar upward, fiery or with a bright glow.
Alien skulls in archaeological finds
And now let's turn not to legends and drawings, but to scientific discoveries. Can at least one science reliably testify to the presence of aliens in the ancient world and in general on planet Earth? It turns out that archeology can help us with this. V last years The Internet is replete with reports of strange finds - bones and turtles that clearly do not belong to a person, but look like him.
As recently as 2011, several of these mysterious skulls were found in Peru, large in size and strange in shape. They were discovered by anthropologist Renato Davila Riquelme in the southwestern province of Peru, Andahuaylillas. Along with the skull, bones of the skeleton were found, which indicate that the creature was very small in height - about 50 cm, and the skull itself is too large for this skeleton.
The skull is unusual in many ways - firstly, it has huge eye sockets, unusual for a person. Secondly, the skull has a slightly triangular shape, it seems to be elongated in length. Thirdly, there is a fontanel on the skull - a soft place at the top of the forehead, which occurs in newborns, but disappears in adults. But the mysterious skull clearly does not belong to the child, since he has molars. The anthropologist promised to send the skull for a DNA examination to confirm its alien origin, but nothing is known about the results yet.
In the mid-90s, photographs of other strange skulls with a very elongated upper part flew around the world. These skulls are strikingly reminiscent of images of the ancient Egyptian pharaohs - Akhenaten, his wife Nefertiti and their descendants, who were often depicted with some strange long headdresses. But perhaps these were not long hats, but long heads? Interestingly, the birthplace of these skulls is also Peru. They also found parts of the skeleton, which indicate that this creature was very tall, almost 3 meters tall. Exactly the same skulls were found in Mexico.
In 2011, in Africa, not far from the city of Kigali (Rwanda), a whole cemetery was dug up, in which about 200 skeletons of mysterious creatures were found - more than two meters tall, with huge skulls that lacked mouths, noses and eyes. All remains are well preserved. This was announced by the head of the research team, the Swiss Hugo Children.
In his opinion, the age of these mass graves is about 500 years, and aliens are buried in them.
Undersized dropa tribe
A similar burial was found in the middle of the 20th century in a remote area of China, in the Hebita cave. There, archaeologists discovered 716 skeletons, only 130 cm tall, with large heads and eye sockets, with small mouths without teeth. Each creature had a small disk with unknown symbols around its neck, which was subsequently deciphered by a professor at the Beijing Academy of Sciences, Tsum Um Nu. Unfortunately, the scientist himself was forced to emigrate shortly after the publication of his book, and soon died.
According to his work, these little men came to Earth from a planet near the star Sirius. Moreover, they flew to Earth twice - 20 thousand years ago and in 1014 AD, but the last time their ship crashed. Those who managed to survive could not return to their home planet. The aliens became the progenitors of the Dropa tribe living on the border of China and Tibet. The English explorer Dr. Caryl Robin-Evans, who managed to get to these remote places in the middle of the 20th century, talked with the religious leader of the Dropa Lurgan-La tribe, and in the conversation he fully confirmed the version of Professor Tsum Um Nu. Robin-Evans' book, Sun Gods in Exile, was published after his death in 1978.
After that, the story died down, and it was believed that the Dropa tribe gradually died out. However, more recently, the attention of journalists from the Reuters agency was attracted by one distant village in China, whose inhabitants were very small in stature - no more than 115 cm. It turned out that among its inhabitants there is a legend about an alien ship that crashed 12 thousand years ago. Is it possible that these natives are the descendants of those same aliens and earthly people? By at least, this version is quite plausible.
In the light of all this evidence, perhaps we should take a different look at the myths and legends of the ancient peoples, who talk about "gods who came from heaven"?
After all, if we accept this information, which, by the way, is revealed in great detail and from an unexpected angle in the sensational books of Anastasia Novykh, then we will have to significantly reconsider our views on this world and its true history.

(click on the quote to download the entire book for free):- Yes, usually. Now people are so smart because they use the knowledge of their ancestors. And how did their ancestors find out about this, you wondered? Even in the most ancient legends Sumerian civilization, written on clay tablets, there is a mention that it was "people from heaven" who told them how to improve their life, how to build houses, fish, grow plant foods for themselves, and the like. And before that, people lived like any herd of animals ...
- Anastasia NOVICH "Sensei I"
We are not the first humanity on Earth! Otherwise, how can one explain that there are a large number of artifacts in the world, the origin of which cannot be explained from the point of view of the theory of the origin of mankind familiar to us.
Figurines from Ecuador
Figurines very reminiscent of astronauts found in Ecuador, their age is over 2000 years.
Stone plate from Nepal
The Loladoff Plate is a stone dish that is over 12,000 years old. This artifact was found in Nepal. Images and clear lines carved into the surface of this flat stone have led many researchers to the idea of its extraterrestrial origin. After all, ancient people could not process stone so skillfully? In addition, the "plate" depicts a creature that is very reminiscent of an alien in his well-known image.
Bootprint with trilobite
“... On our Earth, archaeologists have discovered a once living creature called a trilobite. It existed 600-260 million years ago, after which it died out. An American scientist has found a trilobite fossil that shows the footprint of a human foot, with a clear boot print. Doesn't this make historians the butt of a joke? Based on Darwin's evolutionary theory, how could a person exist 260 million years ago?
An excerpt from the book Falun Dafa.
Ica stones
"In the museum State University Peru has a stone on which a figure of a man is carved. The study showed that it was carved 30 thousand years ago. But this figure in clothes, in a hat and shoes, holds a telescope in his hands and watches the celestial body. How did people know how to weave 30 thousand years ago? How can it be that people already then walked in clothes? It is quite incomprehensible that he holds a telescope in his hands and observes a celestial body. So, he still has some astronomical knowledge. We have long known that the European Galileo invented the telescope only more than 300 years ago. Who invented this telescope 30,000 years ago?” Excerpt from Falun Dafa.
Jade discs: a puzzle for archaeologists
In ancient China, around 5000 BC, large jade stone discs were placed in the graves of the local nobility. Their purpose, as well as the method of manufacture, still remains a mystery to scientists, because jade is a very durable stone.
The Disc of Sabu: The Unsolved Mystery of Egyptian Civilization
The mystical ancient artifact, supposedly part of an unknown mechanism, was found by Egyptologist Walter Bryan in 1936 during an inspection of the tomb of Mastaba Sabu, who lived around 3100 - 3000 BC. The burial is located near the village of Saqqara. The artifact is a regular round thin-walled stone plate made of meta-aleurite (metasilt in Western terminology), with three thin edges bent to the center and a small cylindrical sleeve in the middle. In places where the petals of the edge are bent towards the center, the circumference of the disk continues with a thin rim of circular cross section about a centimeter in diameter. The diameter is about 70cm, the shape of the circle is not perfect. This plate raises a number of questions, both about the incomprehensible purpose of such an object, and about the method by which it was made, since it has no analogues.
It is quite possible that Saba's disk had some important role five thousand years ago. However, at the moment, scientists cannot accurately determine its purpose and complex structure. The question remains open.
Vase 600 million years old
A message about an extremely unusual find was published in a scientific journal in 1852. It was about a mysterious vessel about 12 cm high, two halves of which were discovered after an explosion in one of the quarries. This vase, with clear images of flowers, was located inside a rock that is 600 million years old.
Corrugated Spheres
For the past few decades, miners in South Africa have been digging up mysterious metal balls. These balls of unknown origin are about an inch in diameter, and some of them are engraved with three parallel lines running along the axis of the object. Two types of balls have been found: one consists of a hard bluish metal with white spots, while the other is emptied from the inside and filled with a white spongy substance. Interestingly, the stone in which they were found belongs to the Precambrian period and dates back 2.8 billion years! Who made these spheres and why remains a mystery.
Fossil giant. Atlant
The 12-foot fossil giant was found in 1895 during mining in the English city of Antrim. Photographs of the giant are taken from the British magazine "Strand" for December 1895. He is 12 feet 2 inches (3.7 meters) tall, 6 feet 6 inches (2 meters) chest, and 4 feet 6 inches (1.4 meters) long. It is noteworthy that there are 6 fingers on his right hand. Six fingers and toes resemble people mentioned in the Bible (2nd book of Samuel): “There was still a battle in Gath; and there was one tall man who had six fingers on his hands and on his feet, twenty-four in all.
Giant's femur
In the late 1950s, during road construction in southeastern Turkey in the Euphrates Valley, a number of burials were excavated with gigantic remains. In two, femurs about 120 centimeters long were found. Joe Taylor, director of the Crosbyton Fossil Museum (Texas, USA), carried out the reconstruction. The owner of a femur of this size had a height of about 14-16 feet (about 5 meters) and a foot size of 20-22 inches (almost half a meter!). When walking, his fingers were above the ground at a height of 6 feet.
Huge human footprint
This footprint was found near Glen Rose, Texas, in the Palaxie River. The print is 35.5 cm long and almost 18 cm wide. Paleontologists say the print is female. The study showed that the person who left such an imprint was about three meters.
Giants from Nevada
There is a Native American legend about 12-foot (3.6 m) red-haired giants who lived in the Nevada area. It talks about American Indians killing giants in a cave. During the excavation of guano, a huge jaw was found. The photo compares two jaws: found and normal human. In 1931, two skeletons were found at the bottom of the lake. One was 8 feet (2.4 m.) high, and the other was just under 10 feet (ca. 3 m.).

Aiuda aluminum wedge
In 1974, an aluminum wedge covered with a thick layer of oxide was found on the banks of the Maros River, which is located near the city of Aiud in Transylvania. It is noteworthy that it was found among the remains of a mastodon, which is 20 thousand years old. Usually aluminum is found with impurities of other metals, but the wedge was made of pure aluminum.
It is impossible to find an explanation for this find, since aluminum was discovered only in 1808, and began to be produced in industrial quantities only in 1885. The wedge is still under research in some secret place.
Piri Reis Map
This map, rediscovered in a Turkish museum in 1929, is a mystery not only because of its amazing accuracy, but also because of what it depicts. Drawn on the skin of a gazelle, the Piri Reis map is the only surviving part of a larger map . It was compiled in the 1500s, according to the inscription on the map itself, from other maps of the three hundredth year. But how is this possible when the map shows: - South America, precisely located relative to Africa - The western coasts of North Africa and Europe, and the eastern coast of Brazil - Most striking - a partially visible continent far to the South, where we know Antarctica is located, although it was not opened until 1820. Even more mysterious is that it is depicted in detail and without ice, although this land mass has been covered with ice for at least six thousand years.
Today, this artifact is also not available for public viewing.
Ancient springs, screws and metal
They are similar to the items that can be found in the scrap box in any workshop. Obviously, these artifacts were made by someone. However, this set of springs, loops, spirals and other metal objects was found in layers of sedimentary rocks that are one hundred thousand years old! At that time foundries were not very common. Thousands of these gizmos - some as small as one thousandth of an inch! - were discovered by gold miners in the Ural Mountains of Russia in the 1990s. Excavated from 3 to 40 feet deep, in layers of earth dating back to the Upper Pleistocene period, these mysterious objects may have been created between 20,000 and 100,000 years ago. Could they be evidence of a long-lost but advanced civilization?
Footprint on granite
This fossil trace was found in a seam of coal in Fisher Canyon, Nevada. This coal is estimated to be 15 million years old! And lest you think it's a fossil of some animal shaped like the sole of a modern boot, microscopic examination of the footprint revealed clearly visible traces of a double seam line around the perimeter of the mold. The footprint is about a size 13, and the right side of the heel appears to be more worn than the left. How did the imprint of modern shoes 15 million years ago end up on what would later become coal?
Elias Sotomayor's Mysterious Finds: Ancient Globe
A large treasure trove of ancient artifacts was discovered by an expedition led by Elias Sotomayor in 1984. In the Ecuadorian mountain range of La Mana, in a tunnel at a depth of more than ninety meters, 300 stone products were found. One of the oldest globes on Earth, also made of stone, was found in the La Mana tunnel. On a far from ideal ball, the manufacture of which, perhaps, the master simply spared no effort, but a rounded boulder, images of the continents familiar from school times are applied. But if many outlines of the continents differ little from modern ones, then from the coast of Southeast Asia towards America the planet looks completely different. Huge masses of land are depicted where only the boundless sea now splashes. The Caribbean islands and the Florida peninsula are absent altogether. Just below the equator in the Pacific Ocean is a giant island, roughly equal in size to modern Madagascar. Modern Japan is part of a gigantic continent that extends to the shores of America and extends far to the south. It remains to be added that the find at La Mana appears to be the oldest map of the world.
Ancient jade service for 12 persons
No less interesting are other findings of Sotomayor. In particular, a "service" of thirteen bowls was discovered. Twelve of them have a perfectly equal volume, and the thirteenth is much larger. If you fill 12 small bowls with liquid to the brim, and then drain them into a large one, then it will be filled exactly to the brim. All bowls are made of jade. The purity of their processing suggests that the ancients had a stone processing technology similar to the modern lathe. So far, the finds made by Sotomayor raise more questions than they answer. But they once again confirm the thesis that our information about the history of the Earth and mankind is still very far from perfect.
