ASTRONOMICAL COMPENDIUM (1550)
It included an instrument of passage for determining the time of night by the stars, a list of latitudes, a magnetic compass, a list of ports and harbors, a perpetual calendar, and a lunar index. The compendium could be used to determine the time, the height of the tide in ports, and calendar calculations.
What do you think of such complex mechanisms of the 16th century?

RANI-KI-WAV.
Rani-ki-Vav is a very complex structure, a multi-stage well, which is located in the city of Patan in India. It is 64 meters long, 20 meters wide and 24 meters deep. It is believed to have been built in the 11th century. However, archaeological work was almost never carried out here, because for many years the well was flooded by the Saraswati River and as a result all covered with silt.
Only at the end of the XX century began work on its clearing. Looking at what has been cleared, we can see that Rani-ki-Vav is not only a work of art, but also a testament to the incredible technologies of the past.

A dinosaur on a mosaic in the ancient Roman city of Palestrina
It was created in 100 BC. The dinosaur looks like an iguanodon. The innoscription is easily read in Russian "crocodilopardalik". Pardus or pardalik in ancient Russia called leopard.
Two proofs in one: the neighborhood of "extinct" reptiles with man and Russian writing before the Cyrillic alphabet.

In Murom, cafe owners unearthed giant dungeons
When they opened the café, they decided to get a fire exit. They removed the asphalt, and underneath it was a brick vault. They broke through it and saw the long tunnels!
Falls appeared more and more often and it turned out that under Murom there is a whole network of passages, halls with vaulted ceilings. Under the Annunciation Monastery was a network of rooms in the form of regular hexagons, turning into a branched labyrinth.
Under the ground there is even a passage to the other bank of the Oka River.

A COLLECTION OF GIANT BOOKS
In 1965, Janusz Juan Moritz discovered in a secluded area across the ocean an extensive system of underground communications that was extraordinarily ancient. This vast network of tunnels and roads stretched for thousands of kilometers, penetrating the territories of Argentina, Peru and Ecuador. The walls of the tunnels were smooth and polished, and the ceilings were flat and level, as if covered with glaze. These underground passageways led to spacious halls.
In one of the galleries Moritz found books consisting of thin metal sheets measuring 96x48 centimeters and weighing about twenty kilograms. On each page of these books were mysterious signs, engraved or stamped. It is assumed that this collection represents the library of an ancient vanished civilization.
