City in the Rock
The ancient city of Petra in Jordan was built as early as the 5th century BC. Just imagine for a moment how old this city is.
It is unusual and a little scary: you walk as if through a deep well or canyon, and it seems that there is no end to this labyrinth, but suddenly, in front of you opens a whole city, carved in the rock. Petra is also famous for its rock-carved architecture and its system of water conduits.

The photo shows a group of employees of the Treasury Chamber of Nizhny Novgorod. A single, huge, powerful lamp hanging from the ceiling of a large hall, which has survived more than one important meeting...
Only the innoscription on the poster is confusing - 1843. The inventor of the lamp Thomas Edison was born only 4 years later.

An 1892 bipolar Edison fan.
What an artifact! The fan is not powered by the mains, but by direct current. And the current is obtained in a system of several inductor coils with a closed magnetic core. The fan screw is supposed to rotate EVERYTHING, and the regulation is set with a golden lever. A neat design, just brilliant!
The very fact of existence of such mechanisms, a little more than a century ago, is just a mockery at the stupidity of modern akademics.

An 18-story city was found underground in Turkey.
The preserved city could hold 20,000 people, livestock and food supplies. It is a network of kitchens, stables, churches, caves, wells, dwellings, and even schools. It was used as a bunker to protect the locals from Arab-Byzantine wars (possibly) and natural disasters

Widely known Egyptian Ankh sign and a picture of a Tesla coil type device with a flat inductor and top mounted inductor.
From this point of view, the Egyptians did not draw abstract symbols of life or power to the gods, but gave very real technical devices in their hands

By the way, the Belgians alone killed half of the Congo's population during their rule. For example, if a parent failed to fulfill a rubber harvesting plan, his child's hand was cut off or hanged.

A 16th-century German ring that turns into an astronomical sphere
Astronomers in the 16th and 19th centuries wore rings that unfolded to become tools for calculations.
The rings looked like ordinary finger rings, but were actually armillary spheres.

Ketzal's tail
An acoustic effect called Ketzal's tail occurs when someone makes an impulsive sound, applauding or playing a percussion instrument in front of a pyramid step.
If we make a slap about 40 meters on the perpendicular of the staircase, we will hear a sharp sound, a strange squeak, a sound similar to the singing of the Quetzal, the sacred bird of the Maya.
Can you imagine the level of thoughtfulness of the architecture of those years?

The magazine "Science and Inventions" in 1922 published an article about Plauson's invention
A balloon made of aluminum was filled with hydrogen or helium and at an altitude of 270m produced a direct current of 400 volts with a force of 1.8 amperes. Two balloons with a capacitor battery gave a power of 81 kilowatts per day.
As the author writes: "Its output is very large...There is no doubt that this invention will soon come into general use throughout the world...especially in rural areas and wherever water power is scarce.
The time is not far distant when nearly all our energy will be derived from the atmosphere...It is the cheapest form of energy known, much cheaper than water power...No destructive thunderstorms occur near such aerial power plants, because the balloons rapidly discharge the largest thundercloud, safely and silently through grounded spark gaps."
Capable of providing cheap and affordable electricity to the entire world. Is that why it was forgotten?

Who built the whole world with identical star fortresses?
They're all over the world. Even in Oceania and the Pacific. "These are the work of Italian or French builders, erected in the 15th century," scientists say.
The amount of work involved in building even one fortress is enormous. There are several hundred such stars on the planet.
We do not recall in history a group of people who entertained themselves with construction tours, erecting fortresses according to a single architectural plan.

A bird frozen in the air
The other day a video was published from Malaysia, in which a large bird frozen in the air low above the ground and there was nothing visible for it to grab onto.
You can see that the bird is still alive and at one point it twitches slightly. There is a fire truck on the road below it, with a man with a long pole apparently trying to reach the bird. He pushes it slightly, but does nothing to help it.
Is the matrix of this reality failing at the point?

It is simply amazing what the primitive inhabitants of ancient Egypt were capable of with only copper chisels.
Let modern historians explain how they did it thousands of years ago, and with such precision, from diorite, the hardness of which exceeds 8 points on the Mohs scale.
The legs of the statues show veins, and the cuticle (a roll of skin that surrounds the base of the nail plate) is visible on the fingertips. And all of this is created from one solid block of diorite!
