In the caves of the Judean Desert near the Dead Sea, archaeologists have unearthed fragments of scrolls with biblical text and other finds (coins, shards, a wicker basket) at least 10,000 years old
During the analysis of the fragments of the scrolls with the text from the book of the Twelve Minor Prophets, a significant discrepancy of even 10 lines of content was revealed in comparison with passages from later versions. Following this, the translation of the scrolls was conducted in secret to avoid shock among the believing community because of the differences between the original and the version of their religious texts.

SHOES OF A ROMAN LEGIONARY
This shoe was found during the excavation of a military camp near the German town of Saalburg.
Note from the Archaeologist: "It looks quite modern and the foot in such "breathes". And seriously - the safety is excellent. The Romans knew how to make for centuries, what only the secret technology of concrete is worth"

RING OF CALIGULA
It is believed to be the ring of Roman Emperor Caligula and is believed to be at least 2000 years old. That's about it.
The most interesting part is the treatment. Sapphire is very hard, it's a tricky business. It's impossible to replicate this without the precision optics of high-tech tools.
And such a ring is not the merit of just one talented craftsman who has devoted his life to this business. It takes industry and industry to make it. Let me remind you that the ring is at least 2000 years old.

BABOLOV BATH
Granite, weight 48 tonnes. Here is what the turner who has been near it writes: I declare that it is machine processing, concave, convex surfaces of this bathtub, the most precise circle on the whole diameter, the most precise spherical surface of the lower part of the bathtub, inside the bathtub on the bottom as the most precise concavity on the whole diameter.
It is impossible to make such a product by hand, let alone polish it. There is such an impression that only yesterday it came out from under the machine, polishing as columns of Isaac's class 4-5. This is impossible to achieve without high-speed polishing and grinding tools.

ANCIENT EGYPTIAN EXHIBIT
The find dates back to the 19th Dynasty (1292-1186 BC). Finish the right leg and it can still be used today. The level should be placed on the masonry, if it is level, the hanger will divide the 90° angle exactly in half. The exhibit was found in the tomb of the artist Sennedjem.

METAL LIBRARY OF ATLANTES
In 1965, Janusz Juan Moritz discovered an extensive system of underground communications of inconceivable antiquity in a completely deserted area.
A giant branching of underground roads and tunnels stretched for thousands of kilometres, passing under the territories of Argentina, Peru and Ecuador. The walls of the tunnels were smooth and polished, and the ceilings were flat and level. Passageways led to vast underground halls.
In one of the galleries, Moritz discovered twenty-kilogram books made of thin metal sheets measuring 96x48 centimetres. The most surprising thing was that on each of these pages were stamped or engraved mysterious symbols and signs.

Margraviate Theatre in Bayreuth, Bavaria, Germany.
The theatre building was built between 1744 and 1748 in the Baroque style, designed by the architect Joseph Saint-Pierre. This theatre is rightly considered a jewel of the so-called Bayreuth Rococo.
Its construction was timed to coincide with the marriage of Elisabeth Friederike Sophia of Brandenburg-Bayreuth. The interior was created by the decorators Giuseppe Galli-Bibiena and his son Carlo in the late Baroque style.
They used to be able to build masterpieces. Why can't we even repeat them now?

KRONSTADT CULTURAL LAYER
It is clear that blacksmiths in primitive forges, using primitive tools, forged such perfect one-to-one "horseshoes", and I wonder what kind of transportation they were used for?
And there were many, but somewhere they were melted down to metal, and somewhere they were covered with asphalt, as in this case.
I'm curious, when asphalt was covered with asphalt, didn't people have questions? Asphalt is not needed here.

PARPHENON
The Parthenon is a huge structure in scale, but it seems slender, graceful and straight. The secret is that there is not a single straight line. optical illusion of the human eye.
The temple built in the 5th century BC is one continuous optical illusion. The base has a slight rise to the center, so that from afar it does not seem that the floor is sagging. The corner columns are sloping towards the middle and the two middle columns towards the corners. The columns themselves have different thicknesses depending on their place in the temple, taper to the top, and the cannelures (grooves on the columns) are adjusted in thickness so that they appear to be of equal width because of the optics.
Note from the Archaeologist: "I will not ask how the architects and engineers were able to calculate every block and every detail. How did the builders achieve such impeccable proportions and balance?

CELESTIAL DISK FROM NEBRA
This bronze artifact created around the 7th century BC is in the Archaeological Museum of Halle [Germany]. The disk is covered with a green patina on which the Sun, Moon and 32 stars, including the Pleiades cluster, are depicted in gold.
The accuracy of the stars in relation to each other and to the celestial luminaries is astonishing. The disk even depicts constellations taking into account the proportions. This indicates a very high level of development of people of that period.
