A map from the Japanese tomb of Kitora depicts 68 constellations and was made in the 1st century B.C.
The catch is that the human eye is incapable of seeing some of the constellations depicted, and it was a long time before telescopes or primitive telescopes were invented. Thanks to the scientists for the dating, let's wait for the answer to the question "how?"

The first human rights declaration in history
The Cyrus cylinder is a clay cylinder on which Cyrus the Great commanded to inscribe in cuneiform a list of his victories and gracious deeds, as well as a list of his ancestors. The artifact was discovered during the excavations of Babylon in 1879 and came into the British Museum.
The cylinder became famous after the last Shah of Iran in the 1960s proclaimed the text inscribed on it as the first ever declaration of human rights: Cyrus spoke in favor of the abolition of slavery and religious freedom. The Shah promised to build his policy in accordance with the precepts of the founder of Persian statehood.

Why do ancient maps show Antarctica without an ice sheet?
Antarctica is thought to have been covered in ice 35 million years ago. The photo shows a map of Oronsa Finet from 1534. Cities and peoples are marked on Antarctica

"When I flew around the Earth in a satellite ship, I saw how beautiful our planet is." - Gagarin.
But his colleagues in the conquest of space gave less cheerful statements about how they felt in orbit and upon landing:
In 1961 Titov spent 24 hours in orbit: "I feel like shit!"
In 1962 Popovich and three days in orbit: "Neck swollen, face red. And it hurts, damn it!"
1969 Filipchenko, Volkov and Gorbatko after 5 days in orbit: "It took a lot of effort just to lift my arm, I couldn't walk myself!"
In 1970 Nikolaev and Sevastianov were in weightlessness for a record 18 days. Both returned to Earth in a preinfarction state: "We could not stand up. They carried us to the helicopter on a stretcher... on a stretcher and carried us out.
The last picture shows the return of the Apollo 11 crew after 8 days in weightlessness. I think you understood my doubts.

What techniques were used to create the terracotta army?
Researchers have found that each sculpture was first shaped, then fired, glazed, and painted. But the researchers could not find any firing kilns. But the production of 8,000 statues would have required an entire production facility.

Thousands of engravings, coats of arms, and coins depicting unicorns. So what, again, did people in different parts of the world in different centuries rave about the same thing? And why did they depict non-existent animals on coats of arms and coins? And often combined as it were, mythical unicorns with now living, for example, lions. You have to decide, make or fantasy coat of arms or a real one.
Or maybe everything is simpler here? Unicorns actually existed, but if you admit it now, it would destroy the whole historical paradigm? If there is a horse, why can't it be assumed that there could have been a horse with a horn? Why not?

Indian Classical Ornamental Architecture
You may have already seen what locks the Hindus carved out of stone "with an ordinary hammer and chisel." Now, these castles have windows that are also very elaborate and made perfectly flat.

Galactic Map
The purpose of this artifact could not be determined, as well as the exact age of its creation. The approximate age was estimated at 600 years.
Its key feature is its shape. It strongly resembles the shape of our galaxy. One of the ridges on the disk is exactly the same as our position in the galaxy, a coincidence?
Yet key details are made so precisely that scientists have only been able to identify them in modern times, such as the central seal. How did people get such knowledge 600 years ago?

2639-2506 B.C. The material is black diorite.Diorite is one of the strongest materials on Earth.
It can resist neither alkali nor acid, perfectly capable of withstanding the influence of the environment and time. Because of its longevity, it has been used so that objects made of it could survive up to 3,000 to 5,000 years later.
Scientists and textbooks claim that it was made with stones, sticks and copper tubes 3,000 to 1,000 years ago BC. They didn't know iron then and the tools were primitive.
Maybe our builders should be given sticks and copper to build properly? Otherwise it's a regression🙈

The first denoscription of the people of the giants in Patagonia was made by Magellan in 1520.
But it was not the only one and it is not possible to write off Magellan's testimony as a tourist story. In all, more than 10 navigators (John Byron, Thomas Cavendish, Juan Esther and William Adams, etc.) wrote about the unusual inhabitants of the Americas. The Patagonians were between 2.5 and 3.5 meters tall. Anthony Knivet described bodies found by him and his team that were even slightly taller than 3.5m.

In 1971, archaeologists dug up the skeleton of a twenty-meter iguanodon in Colombia.
The sensation was different - under the dinosaur lay human-like remains. Analysis of the discovery layer and the bones gave an age of 85mln years.
The theory that it was the skeleton of an ancient ape was broken by a fossilized spear lying nearby.

Formations in the form of stone bowls
They are located at the very top of the Arakulsky Shihan granite massif.
The version of their origin was put forward by geologists: "During the glacial period, stones got stuck in potholes, ice pushed such stones, and the stuck debris began to twist and rub".
The only pity is that no stones were found in the bowls. What, then, was abrading the surface with? Well and to read a version of the movement of the glacier on the very top of the rocks is somewhat fantastic.

In 1919, a young Alfred Hubbard created a mechanism which
newspapers dubbed the "perpetual motion machine," while Hubbard himself called it an atmospheric energy generator.
To attract investors, Alfred held showboat rides. Confessing to greed, Albard feared losing the rights to his miracle invention and actively sought to sell it for more.
In 1920, newspapermen quickly lost interest in the invention and the inventor. In 1929, having patented the "radioactive internal combustion device for the internal combustion engine", the young genius suddenly abandoned the invention, went to jail and to his patented generators former investors have lost interest dramatically.
For some reason, as soon as it comes to atmospheric electricity or alternative energy sources, inventors die, go to jail, or quit their life's work.

RACUSCHEK GROT.
A mysterious cave in England.
The Shell Grotto is a spectacular underground cave located in the English town of Margit in the county of Kent. This cave houses a mosaic made of 4.6 million shells.
Discovered by accident,
its origin is still unknown.
The walls of the shell grotto are truly remarkable works of art, consisting of mosaics with Oriental and Egyptian symbols.
At this time, there is no
reliable information about who built the mosaics and what they were used for.
The mosaic may be 3,000 years old, but there are also theories that it may date back to the 18th century. Some theories suggest that the Cave of Shells is related to Freemasonry, the Knights Templar, the Phoenicians, the Romans and many others, but none have been confirmed, making it an unsolved mystery. This probably only adds to the intrigue of this grotto.
