"Baghdad Battery" - a find that keeps researchers busy
This artifact, found near Baghdad, is sometimes considered an ancient galvanic cell that was created 2,000 years before A. Volta was born. The "battery" was a 13-centimeter vessel. Its neck was filled with bitumen and an iron rod passed through it. Inside the vessel was a copper cylinder with an iron rod in it.
Wilhelm König, who found the "battery" in 1936, suggested that it could produce an electrical voltage of 1 volt. In an episode of the TV show "Legendbusters" copies of the "battery" were tested, and lemon juice was used as the electrolyte. Unbelievable but true: the experiment produced a voltage of about 4 volts.

Pyramids more than 12,000 years old in Bosnia
The pyramids were built by Atlanteans or Hyperboreans. Their excavation began near the town of Visoko by researcher Semir Osmanagic. The pyramids are dedicated to the Moon, the Sun and the Dragon. "Mountains" are composed of concrete blocks, the paths are paved with paving stones. Innoscriptions in runes and stone spheres were found inside.

On the Internet there are many photos of old buildings built in the same style from different parts of the world.
Only scientists still tell us that before the 20th century, each nation had its own "unique" and "inimitable" architecture.

In the "Denoscription of the City of Dordrecht" of 1677 there are the following lines about the foundation of the city:
"The Slavs (Slaven) a few hundred years before the Nativity of the Lord, multiplied greatly, crossed the river Maas into the lands where the city of Dordrecht now stands, occupied and inhabited them...became a very strong people of arms. Among them was a man named Dorech. He founded a city called by his name Dorechts-drecht, which we now call Dordrecht, and it was for a long time a trading city, situated on water and on land."
Today in the history of the city you will not find a single mention of Dorecht the Slav. Wikipedia in general sincerely assures that Dordrecht took its name from the river Ture, which flows nearby. Are historians unaware of the chronicles of the founding of the city or are they deliberately ignoring it?

Charles Hatfield - The Man Who Sold Rain
Early in his career, Hatfield studied meteorology, physics, chemistry, bought chemicals, and conducted experiments. In 1902, he obtained a secret mixture of 23 chemicals that caused precipitation in the form of rain.
At first he made the usual bets. Eventually Hatfield began to sell rain for money. His fame grew and he was already contracting for thousands of dollars. In 1916, they wanted him to fill the reservoir, but at the last minute they changed their minds, the tower to make it rain was already built, and it started raining for almost a month, the dam on Lake Otay burst because of that 20 people died. Then Hatfield said it wasn't because of him, it was just a coincidence.
Whether it was a coincidence or not, Charles died on January 12, 1958, without revealing the secret formula for the powder. According to scientists, Hatfield caused more than 500 rainstorms during his career.

How can we explain the plagiarism of images in a world without the Internet and newspapers?
Researchers of ancient cultures are most surprised by the fact that the bag in different cultures is almost identical. This could mean a common pattern for people who might have seen similar creatures. After that, similar images were made.
The Sumerians were convinced of the artificial origins of humans, who were supposedly created by beings from the planet Nibiru - the Annunaki.

Myth - fiction or reality?
The clay tablets of Sumer named five cities that existed before the Flood: Eridu, Bab Tibir, Larak, Sippar, and Shuruppak.
If the Flood is fiction, then the cities are "fiction" too. But there were archaeologists who were open-minded skeptics. They found the cities of Eridu, Sippar and Shuruppak, and during the excavations they found traces of a great flood. The notorious flood of which the biblical texts tell us was based on a real event.
It is time to stop thinking of the myths as the authors' sick fantasy. They can lead researchers to sensational discoveries.

A puzzle for scientists was found in Shelbyville, Illinois, USA. The town was founded in 1827, which is very recent by historical standards.
How the city ended up 4-5 meters in the ground is a mystery. It seems that it was built not long ago, the sea and oceans are far away, typhoons do not reach the center of the country either. There is, however, a lake about a kilometer from the city, but in order for it to reach the city and turn it into a small Atlantis, it will take a whole sea of water to pour into it.
The excavated structure itself is impressive - the arched openings, columns and red brick seem vaguely familiar. In most of the excavated cities, surprisingly, the buildings are built as if from a template.

1816 is the coldest year in the history of Europe and North America
This very year is called "the year without summer". According to the official version, the largest eruption of the Tambora volcano in Indonesia occurred.
The result of this "eruption":
- From 1780 to 1817, sinkholes filled with water appeared, ranging in size from 100 meters to several kilometers.
- Across the Earth, there are almost no forests older than 200 years. On the central Russian plain, the forest was restored in the 19th century by mass planting in verst squares.
- Many of the first floors of houses in old towns were underground at the same time.
- Human bones were found during construction under layers of soil.
- Loss of equipment and technology
- Most people can't accurately name their great-great-grandparents.
Was there a nuclear war?
Very likely.

What is Kailas hiding?
Kailas is the most mysterious mountain in Tibet. It defies conquest
Interesting facts about Kailas:👇
1. The secret of Mount Kailas is the rapid aging of those around it. Because of the speed at which hair and nails grow, we can assume that 12 hours near Kailas corresponds to two weeks under normal conditions.
2. The mountain can obscurely change the target setting and thus prevent anyone from approaching. Those who get too close to it and those who intend to climb will suddenly want to go in the opposite direction. Despite numerous attempts, no climber has ever been able to conquer the summit of Mount Kailas.
3. The geographical position of the mysterious mountain in relation to Easter Island, which is opposite Kailas only on the opposite side of the world. As you know, Easter Island is famous for many unsolved puzzles: giant stone idols and wooden planks.

The Heavenly Pit is a sinkhole in China, located in the Chongqing area.
It is a double sinkhole that measures 662 meters deep, 626 meters long and 537 meters wide; its upper "bowl" goes 320 meters deep and the lower one another 342 meters. Such a huge depression certainly did not appear overnight, and formed gradually over 128 thousand years.
It is so large that it is often visited by extremists who want to get a burst of adrenaline by jumping down from a huge height with a parachute or on a rope.

The bridge that connected Europe and Africa
The 10th century Arab chronicler Al Masudi described it as follows: "Between Andalusia and Tangier there was a bridge made of large stones over which the flocks walked from the west coast of Andalusia to the north coast of Africa.
The denoscription of the Gibraltar Bridge is supported by modern geological surveys: travelers' records, navigators' maps, etc.

Did mammoths go extinct 10,000 years ago? In October, Naked Science wrote about a study published in Nature. Mammoths on Taimyr survived until 1900 BC, on Wrangel Island until 1700 BC.
Okay, there are no people, large predators on the islands. But scientists at McMaster University in Canada, the British Southampton and the American Museum of Natural History took samples in Canada, showing that mammoths existed as early as 5,000 years ago, that is, when the Pharaohs ruled in Egypt.
They cut the extinction date of the species in half. Shall we wait until they find a living specimen somewhere on the islands?

The Celestial Disc from Nebra is a bronze artifact with a diameter of 30 cm, created around the 7th century BC.
It is in the Archaeological Museum of Halle, Germany. The disk is covered with a green patina on which the sun, moon and 32 stars, including the Pleiades cluster, are depicted in gold.
The positioning of the stars in relation to each other and to the celestial luminaries is surprisingly precise. The disk even depicts the constellations in terms of proportions. This indicates a very high level of development of people of that period.
There is a feeling that at some point people forgot everything.
