The Aswan vase dates back more than 2,000 years. What is unusual about a simple basalt bowl? High precision manufacturing and machining
In the opinion of a modern turner, such artifacts cannot be made without the use of specialized machines - you can't saw this by hand, but what machines 2,000 years ago?
The vase has such a precise and well-defined thickness of 6 centimeters, that one can only wonder at the skills of the ancient craftsmen. Or the precision of their looms.

Unusual stone formations in the form of spiral columns were discovered on the shore of Lake Crowley in California.
What do they remind you of? Foundation piles? Reinforcements? You can see that the formation is not homogeneous, the columns are separate from the rock.

The great irony of the current climate panic is that the Earth is colder today than it was 250 million years before the Ice Age began. And CO2 is lower now than it has been in more than 95 percent of Earth's history.
"But you'll never know that if you listen to all those who profit from the lie that the Earth is about to get too hot for life and that CO2 will be higher than in the entire history of the Earth," said Patrick Moore, co-founder of Greenpeace.
Almost all commercial greenhouse farmers around the world buy CO2 to inject into their greenhouses to increase yields.
"I'm sure that greenhouse farmers are putting more CO2 into their greenhouses, 2 to 3 times more than there is in the atmosphere today. This is because almost all plants growing outdoors in a natural atmosphere need CO2, and this prevents them from growing faster. I know that more CO2 is very good for both the environment and human civilization," Moore added.

Agartha (sometimes referred to as Agartta, Agharti or Agarttha) is a legendary city that is said to reside in the Earth's core. Shamballa (also known as Shambalah or Shangri-La) is sometimes said to be its capital city. The mythical paradise of Shamballa is known under many different names: It has been called the Forbidden Land, the Land of White Waters, the Land of Radiant Spirits, the Land of Living Fire, the Land of the Living Gods and the Land of Wonders. Hindus have known it as Aryavartha (literally : The Land or Realm of The Aryans ; the Land of the Noble/Worthy Ones") - the land from which the Vedas come; the Chinese as Hsi Tien, the Western Paradise of Hsi Wang Mu, the Royal Mother of the West; the Russian Old Believers, a nineteenth-century Christian sect, knew it as Belovodye and the Kirghiz people as Janaidar. Shambhala, meaning 'the place of peace, of tranquillity.

The underground city of Derinkuyu (Turkey).
One of the largest underground settlements in the world was discovered in 1963.
This amazing city is carved into the rock and goes underground to a depth of about 80 meters, permanently inhabited by 50 thousand people.
Underground city included warehouses, kitchens, weapons rooms, animal stables, rooms for schools and dormitories. There were ventilation shafts, water collection wells and more than 500 different secret exits to the surface.This huge structure still holds many mysteries, as less than half of the city has been explored.

The Castle of the Knights Templar.
Tomar, Portugal.
Convento de Cristo) is the main stronghold of the Portuguese Templars and their successors, the Order of Christ. It was founded as a castle of the Order in the twelfth century, later converted into a monastery. Over the years, the city of Tomar grew under the shadow of the fortress. In 1983 the monastery of Christ was declared a UNESCO World Heritage Site.
Surely these were built by men?

I was reminded of Jonathan Swift's "Gulliver's Travels" (upper left picture). It's a funny fairy tale for children, quite famous, and I think most people have heard of it.
Except that it was about 20-25 years ago when I was a kid. Now I see huge doors, engravings of giants, majestic buildings, and the thought creeps in, "Did the author really make up this fairy tale or was it all real?" Also in the story there is a line "We thought it best to stick to the old direction, rather than deviate more to the north, as in doing so we could be carried to the northwestern regions of the Great Tataria (!!!) or the Arctic Sea. So, think now...

In 1928, a Soviet history teacher, Anatoly Stolbunov, discovered mammoth bones 30,000 years old in the Chersonesos Cave near Simferopol. On the scapula was a drawing of dots and lines, which was similar to a map of the starry sky. Astrophysicists copied the map onto a computer and confirmed that this is what the sky looked like 30,000 years ago.
Now the details - almost all of the stars from the drawing on the bone have "survived" to this day, but some can only be seen through a telescope. How could ancient people see them without optics?

In 1936, workers near Baghdad, while excavating the ruins of the 2,000-year-old village of Qujut Rabu, discovered a strange artifact.
The artifact looked like a 13-centimeter clay pot, with a cylinder of copper sheet measuring about 5 inches by 1.5 inches embedded within it. Inside this cylinder, an iron rod was placed in the center, sealed at the top with resin resembling bitumen. The rod appeared to have been corroded by some kind of acidic composition similar to electrolyte. This battery has been dated between 248 BC and 226 AD and what it may have been designed for remains a mystery.
Many archaeologists are convinced that these artifacts are batteries, but the Parthians themselves used them not for their intended purpose, but inherited them from the Sumerian civilization.

The Church of St. John of Nepomuk in Munich, built in the 18th century by the Asam brothers.
Just look at this work of art. And they used to be able to build like this❗️
