The discovery of a mosaic floor, dating back to the fourth century AD, in the city of Rastan, Homs Province, Syria.
The area of the discovered part of the mosaic has so far reached 120 square meters, and this is the ninth painting of its kind discovered in this city.
It is important to note that this floor is not just underground, but at a depth of about 4 meters, under the "cultural layer".

In the Israeli necropolis of Beth Shearim during the clearing found a huge rectangular slab 2x3.5M, 50 cm thick, about 9 tons in weight and 1.600 years old.
Laboratory tests revealed that the Beth Shearim slab was made of glass. This is an astounding discovery, because to make a slab of this size would require 11 tons of raw material, which would have to be heated to 1100° and kept at this temperature for 5 to 10 days. The fact that this would require 20 tons of firewood is not as impressive as evenly maintaining a high temperature under a huge amount of raw materials.
It remains to be seen how this is possible.

Jade figurines depicting flying machines similar to the modern jet ski have been found in the ancient Chinese culture of Hongshan
Among ancient cultures, the story of people flying in flying machines is common. Are there too many coincidences among remote ancient peoples?

"The Soaring Column".
In India, in one of the ancient temples called Lepakshi, there are almost a hundred or so carved and incredible columns, but only one of them breaks all the laws of physics.
The so-called "soaring column" of granite does not touch the floor with its base. That is about 6 meters and more than a hundred tons just hanging from the ceiling, which in theory is impossible, but apparently, the ancient builders thought otherwise.
Many tourists spent under the column small objects and pieces of cloth, which prove that the object does not touch the floor in any corner. Historians, in turn, simply try to keep silent and do not comment on such a find.

On maps 600 years ago, Antarctica is shown without the ice cover, although officially Antarctica was discovered 200 years ago.
Although the maps were immediately called fictitious, it is easy to find the desired point and orientate yourself on the ground. Compare the coincidence of shorelines "in fiction".

Perfect carvings
The columns of the Shravanbelagol temple complex (India) clearly demonstrate the high knowledge of the ancient craftsmen. The temple was erected in record time in the 10th century.
Scientists can not answer the question how the carved columns were created and why they are preserved in perfect condition to this day, because, without lathes and milling machines, it is simply impossible to produce such a thing.

Ancient artifact from a private collection
This ring was long held in the private collection of the Dukes of Marlborough. Imagine how many artifacts like this lie quietly in their custody.
It is believed to be the ring of the Roman emperor Caligula and is at least 2,000 years old.
The most interesting thing is the processing. Sapphire is very hard, and working with it is a chore. It's impossible to reproduce it without high-precision optics and high-tech tools.

Do you think the cultural layer appeared recently?
Engraving from the 19th century, the Italians had a column in the middle of the square, no one knew where it came from and inquisitive Italians decided to see how the column had a foundation. They excavated it. And it turned out that it was not the foundation at all, but part of the monument was just buried. There are people in the engraving and it is amazing the size of the cultural layer, 15 meters underground.

The trilithon are three giant stones in the wall of the Temple of Jupiter at Baalbek. The blocks lie seven meters high, each weighing about 900 to 1,000 tons.
The Roman bureaucracy carefully documented any construction, but we have not found any data on mining or transportation of blocks of this size. There were simply no technical means to do so. How was it possible to make such a structure ?

In the Peruvian town of Cumbe Mayo are the ruins of an unusual canal built in 1500 B.C. Although there were no problems with water in the region, the Incas hollowed out an 8 km long canal in the rock.
The shape of the channel is a mystery - straight angles of 90 degrees with smooth walls and smooth, polished turns of the channel. It feels as if the stone was carved like a cookie cutter. There is no logical explanation from scientists about the shape of the canal, "they built it that way for beauty" - that's all the reasoning.

It is hard to imagine that all peoples could ever unite together without political conflict, wars and the like.
However, facts from the past prove, at the very least, that civilizations on different continents borrowed technology and different structures
For example, there are pyramids and dolmens of unknown purpose all over the world. Almost everywhere in the world there is polygonal masonry, metal braces, rounded corners and deformation of megaliths in an unknown way
You could list a dozen such techniques and they are all plus or minus the same, but then how was the information transmitted across the ocean? There can not be such coincidences in technology and knowledge of ancient civilizations.

Ancient Conquerors of Heaven
The story began in 1875, when in one of the ancient Indian temples was discovered a treatise called "Vimanika Shastra" written in the Brahmanical language - Sanskrit.
It was not its age (it was written 2,400 years ago) that made this document famous, but its content. The author of the manunoscript, the scholar Bharadwaja Maharishi, described the types of flying machines and their construction. And with the caveat that it was a compilation from older sources.
At the end of the 19th century, this book was considered mythological because aviation was still in its infancy. But modern scientists, having studied "Vimanika Shastra", have unequivocally declared that this work has nothing to do with fairy tales, it is competently written technical work.

One of the largest surviving Roman mosaic floors discovered during the construction of a hotel in Antakya /Turkey/ on the site of ancient Antioch.
The warped effect was caused by earthquakes and gives the impression of a giant patchwork quilt.
