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.

Before Our Time

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.

Bohemian Grove, California, USA📓

The elite club by that name is the star of a conspiracy theory. The gated vacation club is located in an ancient California heirloom forest. Every year since 1899 the most influential people of the world (for example, American presidents also come here) supposedly meet here. To become a member of the club you have to wait - the queue is about 15 years, and you have to sign a non-disclosure agreement. What exactly is being discussed in the cages of the club can only be guessed. For example, it is assumed that the creation of the atomic bomb was discussed in the Bohemian Grove.

The Phantom of the Opera Garnier👻

In 1873, a talented young pianist lost his fiancée in a terrible fire and was disfigured by the flames. After these terrible events he took refuge in the cellars of the Opéra Garnier, where he died of grief some time later.

This beautiful and sad story inspired the French writer Gaston Leroux to write his novel The Phantom of the Opera.

To enhance the mystical beginning, Leroux used in the story strange phenomena that actually took place at the end of the nineteenth century in the premises of the Paris Opera. For example, in 1896, a chandelier fell there during a performance, killing the spectator who was sitting in chair number 13.

It is also rumored that the contract of the director of the Opéra Garnier allegedly included a clause stating "not to sell tickets in box number 5". This seat was reserved by the Phantom of the Opera, who transferred 20,000 francs (about 3,000 euros) each month to the institution's account in order to have the exclusive right to use the box.

The longest fossilized tree in the world (Thailand)🪵

It is 72.2 meters long and can be seen by anyone at Amphoe Ban Tak National Geological Park.

This park fossils were found by accident, just 10 years ago. Surprisingly, the process of replacing woody tissue with minerals takes an incredibly long time. The well-known moraine oak (in fact, the initial phase of fossilization) takes 1-1.5 thousand years to mature in water. For the transformation of a tree into stone in the ground, the time frame starts from 200 thousand to 2 million years.

But if you look at the photo, you can clearly see that the depth of the trees is ridiculous, literally a couple of meters. It would be more logical to think that the tree would rot, exposed to the air. Either the timing of the transformation of the tree into stone is different from the canonical and the official science is a little bit wrong, dating such findings📜

The Eiffel Tower was conceived as the entrance arch to an exhibition held in 1889. The exhibition showcased advances in energy and the latest inventions.

The 1900 photo of the tower shows structures that have not survived to this day. At the same time, the structure gave off illumination no worse than in the days of Catherine the Great from "ether" electricity.

Greek fire🔥

A combustible mixture used for military purposes during the Middle Ages. It was first used by the Byzantines in naval battles. The Greek fire apparatus was a copper pipe, a siphon, through which the liquid mixture was spewed out with a rumbling noise. Compressed air was used as the ejecting force, or bellows like forges.
Presumably, the maximum range of the siphons was 25-30 m, so initially Greek fire was used only in the navy, where it was a terrible threat to the slow and clumsy wooden ships of the time. Moreover, according to the testimonies of contemporaries, Greek fire could not be extinguished because it continued to burn even on the surface of the water.

Was the sinking of the Titanic planned in advance?🤔

There is a theory that the Titanic did not sink at all. Robin Gardiner and Dan Van Der Watt, experts in studying the causes of the wreck, put forward the theory that the wreck is the Titanic's twin brother, called the Olympic.

Allegedly, the owners of the ship "Olympic" in 1911 suffered serious losses: their ship collided with another, but the damage was not enough for the insurance payments. Then the owners of the "Olympic" deliberately directed the ship to the area of possible ice and even persuaded the captain not to reduce the speed so that the ship was seriously damaged when it collided with a block of ice, and they got the money.

At first, the version had evidence. The fact is that nothing was found at the bottom of the Atlantic Ocean at the site of the disaster that bore the name "Titanic".
