What do you think of the 17th century maps of America being more accurate and informative than the 18th or 19th century maps? For example, the map of 1747, where South America was already divided into zones and countries, the large bodies of water on the equator came from somewhere, but the Andes, which run through the entire west coast of South America. Do you think the mountains seen from the coast can be overlooked?🤔

Porta Pila, Genoa, Italy in the photo and engraving of 1892. Something happened in the 19th century that covered the side doors and pedestals of the columns. Compare before/after and draw conclusions about the amount of sediment💭

Today, by the way, the soil is removed, the pedestals are dug out, even deeper than in the engraving, but the side doors on a closer look are still below ground level, about half a meter, so the original appearance of the building is still to dig out and dig up😁

If the love of the ancients for stone constructions is quite understandable, the way of their extraction makes one puzzle. Those traces that remain on the mountains, stone quarries and megaliths do not give answers to the question "How? Officials happily assign these traces to a natural phenomenon.

For example, straight, flat notches in the mountain that are tens of meters long. Weathered? Collapsed? Hollowed out with a bronze chisel?

Napoleon took the painter Dominic Denon on an Egyptian expedition to introduce the world to Egyptian architecture🌄

From left to right in the album are sketches of Miquerin, Chephren, Cheops. Only Chephren doesn't have the famous cap, two of the three pyramids of the Queens are simply missing or not yet built, and the Nile is east of Giza.

Was there an artist in Egypt?🤔

The Vatican is not ready to show all its treasures, but even the small part that is on display in museums is enough to study👌

A map of the northern and western hemisphere in 1583 - South America is connected to Antarctica, the Drake Passage is missing, Africa is in bloom because of the abundance of lakes, the land beyond the Arctic Circle is uncovered by ice, and North America is still connected to Asia (and no visa or Schengen for travel!).

Every fact contradicts official history by tens or hundreds of thousands of years🤔

Much is said about the ice age, which covered the planet 13,000 years ago, but the exact cause cannot be named - changes in currents, volcanoes, decreased magnetic tension at the poles... What, however, does not explain the instant freezing in the ice of the same mammoths and 35 other species of animals.

But "instant freezing" can be explained by findings in the strata 13,000 years ago. Glass carbon (melting at 3,500°C) with many gas bubbles is a sign of extremely high temperatures, followed by a sudden cooling. Spherules - hollow magnetic balls with a high concentration of carbon, which also require high temperatures and pressure to form. Nanodiamonds - Hexagonal diamonds require pressure of 2 million pounds per square inch (170,000 bar) and temperatures of 1,000 to 1,700°C followed by rapid cooling🤔

In the Polish village of Miejsce Odrzańskie, for 10 years only girls were born

A small town in southern Poland with a population of about 300 people has attracted the interest of scientists because of a funny anomaly: here, for 10 years, only girls were born. Raimund Frischko (the head of Meisze Odrzańskie) even promised to pay a bonus to the couple who gives birth to a boy.

And only recently has this award found its heroes. However, what explains this phenomenon and how events will develop in the future, science doesn’t know.

The ancient city of Petra Jordan.

In the heart of Jordan, in the valley of Wadi Musa, deep in the sandy mountains is the most amazing ancient city of Petra. For many centuries, this unusual, carved in a rock city has amazed people who come here with its majestic appearance and pinkish-red color of all its buildings.

No one knows how these majestic structures were carved into the rocks, and what tools were used, because without the use of adequate mechanisms it is simply impossible🤔

The fact that Prague is buried several floors is no secret - the guides tell about it and any tourist can personally go to a cafe or store located 2-3 floors underground. The official story - the Vltava River regularly flooded the city and decided to raise the ground level by 6 meters. They took and buried all the streets and all the floors in the houses.

But how was the city built back then, if it was regularly flooded and swept away by the floods? The town hall building was built, but 100 years later it was completely buried - was it "cultivated" again? It would have been more logical to move the buildings by a few hundred meters. And how much land had to be brought to raise the city by 6 meters?

It is funny, that in the different sources the history of Prague is written since 950 and even earlier, the underground premises of Prague are described, but about the burying and lifting of the city no mentioning. Too reminiscent of the buried cities of antiquity - and the height is the same🤔 Interesting...

Mount Lico, recently discovered, is a lost world🧐

In Zambezia, in northern Mozambique, lurks Mount Lico. For millions of years, this place was untouched by nature because it was surrounded by impenetrable thickets. It is impossible to climb the mountain without modern technology, because its height is about 1,100 meters above sea level, and the steep slopes reach 700 meters. At the top of the volcanic crater inside the tropical forest. The mountain was not officially designated until 2012, when Oxford Brookes University scientist Julian Bayliss accidentally stumbled upon it using the Google Earth service.

In May 2018, a team of researchers went on an expedition to these places. The scientists found previously unknown scales, but the most surprising find was several upside-down pots set on top of the mountain. How they got there is still a mystery🤔

In June 2020, a Hindhu temple was found under a layer of sand in the Indian village of Peramalla Padu.

Elders said the temple disappeared under a layer of sand when the local Penna River changed its course. It happened so quickly that people didn't even have time to retrieve relics from the temple. Archaeologists date the temple to the early 19th century, and the flood happened in 1850.

Again in the middle of the 19th century, there was another flood, which covered the building up to the dome🤔

There is one mystery in Tibet that still fascinates all who see it: Mount Kailas. It has an unusual shape - a stepped pyramid. The Tibetans themselves consider it sacred and believe that Buddha lives on top of it, and Hindus believe that Shiva is there.

Dr. Ernst Muldashev believes that Kailas was built by an ancient civilization, and the inner part of the mountain - the pyramids is hollow. In it are stored "preserved" in a state of deep sleep "somati" immortal representatives of the races that once lived on earth. Atlanteans, Lemurians, and Aryans could be there. Muldashev also said that he had reached the secret passage to the underworld of Kailas, but could not go further because of the protection set up on the way to Shambhala. Should we believe his words? - Everyone decides for himself😊

A water distribution system dating back nearly five millennia was found in the Persian castle of Boroujerd in Iran. An excellent system of aqueducts, clay pipes and vessels, although, by all accounts, it should not have existed at all in those days✍️

The funny thing is that this ingenious and innovative technology was lost, then rediscovered by the Romans, forgotten again until the 13th-15th centuries, until in the 19th century the plumbing gradually became a citywide norm.

The Sultans of the Ottoman Empire did not leave their brothers alive🩸

The sultans of the Ottoman Empire had a tradition of executing all their brothers immediately after ascending the throne. One of the sultans, Mehmed III, upon his accession to the throne, executed as many as 19 of his brothers and had them buried with his father😬

From "Memoirs" by the memoirist, historian and privy councilor F. Vigel, 1865: "I recall that among the ruins of this very Rome arose the papal authority, which spread throughout Christianity, and when the Vatican was built and the temple of the Apostle Peter began to rise to the surprise of the entire enlightened Christian world, most of its half was torn from it by Luther and Calvin ...".

Censorship falsifiers missed bits of truth among the denoscriptions of the architectural sites of St. Petersburg. The very notion of "Vatican City" (the one that is a state formation, not a hill) was well known at the beginning of the 19th century and the text directly mentions the emergence of the Vatican City along with the construction of the church of St. Peter. Officials and their supporters claim that no Vatican (except the hill) existed before 1929🤔

Calvin and Luther were religious figures of the 17th century and, following the logic of F. Vigil, the Vatican (the state) already existed at that time🧐

As everyone knows, it is believed that humans appeared 2.6 million years ago and the dinosaurs went extinct 65 million years ago. In other words, according to the official science, humans and dinosaurs could not meet, but the facts say otherwise

History itself states that ancient people did not do archaeology and excavations because they did not have the necessary knowledge, tools, etc.

But then how to explain many bas-reliefs, images and references to dinosaur species with the same appearance as if they had been seen in reality?

If ancient people did not see dinosaurs, and at the same time did not excavate to find their remains, recreating the exact appearance of the ancient creatures, how could they depict and describe them?🤔

In 2017, a structure about 1 square kilometer in size and a stone sculpture of a lion was found at a depth of 10 meters in Lake Van in Turkey. It was estimated to be 3,000 years old😱

Interestingly, the fortress stood for several thousand years, and went under water "because the water level in the lake has risen by 150 m in recent centuries.

I wonder what happened in the 18th and 19th century that raised the water level by a hundred and fifty meters?🤔

In 1710 the book "The History of the Great Genghis Khan, the first emperor of the ancient Moguls and Tartars" by the translator of the French Royal Court Francois Petit was published.

The Mongols, who according to official history were exclusively nomads, turned out to have a well-developed blacksmithing business. It is clear that historians are more interested in describing grandiose battles and numerous armies, but explaining where the nomadic army in the steppes got weapons for tens of thousands of warriors is not interesting at all.

Where did they get the raw material - iron ore, where did they locate the processing plant, how and where did they forge the metal, how did they organize the logistics - a longing! And after all, the scale of production should be impressive for the army of many thousands and the presence of wagon train smiths does not explain it🧐

The 16th Century Encyclopedia of Animals💭

A book by the botanical scholar Jan Johnston, "Denoscriptions of the Wonders of Nature. Amazing Animals."

In this book, in addition to our usual domestic animals, hippos, goats, horses, cows, monkeys, and lizards, there are unicorns, griffins, hybrids, and other mythical animals, as it should be😁

Carthage must be destroyed!🤔

Despite the success of the first and second Punic wars, in which Rome fought the Phoenician city-state of Carthage for supremacy in the Mediterranean Sea, the Romans suffered a series of humiliating defeats from Carthage and feared its revival, leading to a desire for total victory and revenge for all losses. In addition, Rome was very concerned that Carthage was recovering quickly and was still creating strong competition for Roman trade. This led to the insistently repeated cry of Carthago delenda est❗️

Eventually, as a result of the Third Punic War, the city of half a million people, Carthage, was completely destroyed and its survivors were sold into slavery. According to a later legend, the site of the city was filled with salt.

How Napoleon lost the battle with rabbits😂

After the signing of the Peace of Tilsit in 1807, Napoleon decided to celebrate the event by hunting rabbits and entrusted the organization of the feast to Berthier. He purchased pet rabbits (some sources say a few hundred, others say 3,000).

But when the rabbits were released, they behaved unexpectedly - instead of running away, they lunged at Napoleon and his entourage because they were hungry and expected to get food.

Historian David Chandler described it this way: "Possessing a finer understanding of Napoleon's strategy than most of his generals, the horde of rabbits split into two wings and flanked Napoleon's party, heading straight for the Emperor.

Napoleon and his entourage had no choice but to board their carriages and depart.
