"The majority opinion is always wrong, for most people are idiots."
-Edgar Allan Poe
That's a pretty harsh statement. What do you think?

Years ago, anthropologist Margaret Mead asked students what they thought were the first signs of civilization. The students expected Mead to talk about fishing hooks, clay pots, or worked stones. But no.
Mead said that the first sign of civilization in an ancient culture is a femur that was broken and then fused together. Mead explained that if a living thing in the animal kingdom breaks a leg, it dies. With a broken leg, it cannot run away from danger, get to a river to get drunk, or hunt for food.
A fused femur is proof that someone took the time to stay with the one who suffered this injury, bandaged the wounds, carried the person to safety, and guarded them until they recovered. Helping another person during a difficult time is the act that starts civilization," Mead said. So even now, not everywhere is civilized.....

Can you imagine what kind of knowledge you need to have to build something like this?
Before you are "musical" columns of granite, which are not one hundred years old.

A parable that makes you think
Aliens arrive on Earth. Delegations from different countries and religious leaders gather and ask the aliens about their lives. And then the Pope gets his turn:
- Do you know about our Savior and Lord God, Jesus Christ?
- Ah, Jesus," the alien replies. - Of course we know him. He visits us every year to make sure we're okay.
- Every year?! We've been waiting 2,000 years for his second coming! -surprised, the Pope exclaims.
The alien sees the priest getting angry and tries to calm him down:
- Well, maybe he likes our chocolate better than yours.....
- Chocolate? What does that have to do with anything?!
- When he first visited our planet, we gave him a huge box of chocolates. It's our tradition now. Wait, what did you do?

"Altai"
A phone the size of today's smartphone, it could be used to call another "Altai", a pay phone or a regular city phone.
It went on sale in the Soviet Union in 1963, 10 years before Motorola introduced the "first" cell phone.

The mystery of the origins of Devil's Tower in the USA
The most common comment on this is "and you dig, if it's a flint tree, there must be roots". Dig...
Scientists from the Wyoming State Parks Department took photographic seismic measurements, "We found what looks like a giant root system originating from the base of Devils Tower. The root system was measured to be 6.4km deep and 11.2km wide. We are currently conducting research and tests to confirm that it is in fact a root system and not a coincidence." Not for nothing did the Indians call this mountain the Tree of Life.
It seems that once again someone will have to rewrite the history of the Earth's development

Watch your hands:
- Adolf Heusinger, Hitler's chief of staff, became chairman of the NATO Military Committee from 1961 to 1964.
- Hans Speidel, NATO commander in Central Europe (CCE) 1957-1963.
- Johann Steinhof, chairman of the NATO Military Committee, 1971-1974.
- Johann von Kleimannsegg - NATO CCE, 1967-1968.
- Ernst Ferber - NATO CCE, 1973-1975.
- Carl Schnell - NATO CCE, 1975-1977.
- Franz Josef Schulze - NATO Council, 1977-1979.
- Ferdinand von Saenger and Etterlin - NATO CCE, 1979-1983.
So what exactly is NATO? And is it a coincidence that all these people ended up there?

How can the stories of the Hyperborean griffin, the ancient Greek Apollo and the founders of Rome intersect?
The symbol of a she-wolf nursing two children came down to us from the Roman story of the founding of Rome by the brothers Romulus and Remus. But this is not the original - the she-wolf "registered" in Rome after the city became a vassal of Siena, whose coat of arms was the Capitoline she-wolf, adopted, allegedly, from the Etruscans. This is also not the end of the journey - on the territory of the Latins the symbol came from ancient Greece and the myth of the birth of Apollo and Artemis by the Hyperborean goddess Leto.
What conclusion can be drawn from this? There was an archaic image of a Hyperborean goddess who gave birth to two twins and nurtured them in the image of a she-wolf. The most interesting thing here is that Hyperborea was located at the Ripean Mountains, in the territory of the Scythians. And these mountains today are called the Ural Mountains.

Vladimir Aronovich Khavkin was a scientist who, at the age of 32, saved millions of people from a cholera epidemic
In India, he was called Vladimir Mahatma Khavkin, which means "great soul". The scientist himself developed a vaccine and personally inoculated 42,000 people in the country, stopping the pandemic! In 1897, Vladimir Aronovich repeated the feat: he created a vaccine against plague, tested it on himself and stopped a dangerous outbreak of the disease. Havkin's vaccines became mass inoculations and are still used in an improved form today.

A problem that is relevant at all times - the fight against excess weight
So, for example, Portuguese monks in the 12th century, struggled with this disease: they made a special opening into the dining room of their monastery Alcobasa, so that the obese monks were forced to fast.

In Ajanta, several dozen caves are carved into basalt cliffs, united into a Buddhist temple-monastery complex. The caves are believed to have been created in two stages:
- the first began in the 2nd century BC,
- the second from 400 to 650 AD.
But how did they carve such a thing in one of the most difficult to work stone rocks without modern technology?

More than 50 springs of water appeared in the arid Arabian desert. Following the springs, fish have been spotted in the Arabian Peninsula, they are coming out with the water from under the ground.
