Atlas of the starry sky on stone📜
A massive stone with ancient images was found in the Brazilian municipality of Inga, Paraíba.
Scientists believe that the numerous symbols on it were carved about 6,000 years ago.
Among the drawings are most of the images of people, animals, birds and plants, which is not surprising for the work of representatives of ancient civilizations. But there is a fairly accurate map of the Milky Way and separately - the constellation of Orion.
The size of the stone is 46 meters long and 3.8 meters high. Why it was necessary to fill this entire area with images, and why the main attention was given to the image of the constellation of Orion, a big mystery.
Perhaps it has to do with the religion of the ancient tribes. If this is not the case, it remains to assume that 6,000 years ago the inhabitants of South America communicated with alien beings who gave them astronomical knowledge🤔

Aswan Obelisk, Egypt📜
It is almost 42 meters long! Its date of manufacture is unknown. There are no signs or innoscriptions on it. It feels like it wasn't finished in time. The block is hollowed out completely in the rock, and the marks on it are very reminiscent of a giant chisel. But can you imagine a chisel with a working edge of 30 centimeters

The 15th century Ranakpur Jainist temple is a masterpiece of architectural and stonecutting art. The architects managed to arrange the temple on 1,444 columns so that none of them covers the statues of the gods. And carve an openwork ensemble into the stone ceiling. A masterpiece? Undoubtedly. And where, I'm sorry, is there a single mistake?
No man can work like a running machine. In a week or a month or a year, but his hand will slip and he'll make a mistake. Especially when it comes to a cranky rock and a bent chisel. Especially when the builder spends most of his time with his hands up and has to adjust the pressure of the tool without chipping off too much.

This metal mug was found in 1912 by Frank Kennard, an Oklahoma power plant worker. The artifact was hidden from view inside a block of coal. According to scientists, the coal mined in the Oklahoma mines is 312 million years old. Until recently, that mug was stored in a private museum in America, in southern Missouri, then the scandalous object was lost, to the great relief of scientists. A photograph, however, remains📜

The Pyramid of Cheops, according to the official version of the scientific world, was built about 4,500 years ago.
But two German archaeology students from the University of Dresden were obsessed with proving the pyramid's true age. They flew to Egypt, sneaked into the pyramid, found the ancient drawing and, in an act of vandalism, scraped some material off the wall for analysis.
Having flown back to Germany and studied the sample, they stated that the pyramid was at least 20,000 years old and that Pharaoh Cheops, who allegedly built the pyramid, had in fact only restored it.

The White Pyramid of China is similar in treatment to the Cheops pyramid
The study revealed that it is not a natural formation, but a man-made structure. The huge slabs are carefully stacked and tightly fitted. Exactly like their Egyptian counterparts.
As soon as information about the pyramid hit the press, the Chinese government closed the area where it is located. The official version - near the pyramid there is a launching pad for rockets.

French counter tokens from the end of the 17th century depicted flying machines. The official version is that these tokens depict the wheel from the vision of the prophet Ezekiel.
It was of shining metal and contained living beings like men. If we discard the religious and mystical flavor, then the "wheels" seen by the prophet could very well be considered a flying saucer📜

A curious place from the satellite map of the Gulf of Finland. One of the traces seemed familiar, I dug in the archives and found similar symbols in the Sahara in the section "geoglyphs"
The distance between the objects is not small, the builders are unknown, the terrain in both cases is inaccessible, the information in the documents has not survived📜

Gebekli Tepe complex, 11.5-12 thousand years old, is very interesting. And I am not talking about the figures and drawings of animals.
Incredible by its complexity of construction complex with monolithic columns weighing more than 20 tons were built by people who have only recently discovered farming and cattle breeding? Come on! And the most interesting traces are just at the tops of the columns - strange uniform pits, which were under the ceiling slab. Very similar to the traces of pressing into the soft rock, so that the stones stuck together, following the example of children's Lego constructor.

In 1880, an American farmer bought coal to light his fireplace, mined from a depth of 90 meters. As he began to crush it, the farmer came across a ring.
The funny thing is that the rock is about 60 million years old, and mankind appeared only 2.6 million years ago. The little trap in the coal layers was called Eve's Ring and the ring quickly became one of the most controversial finds.

On the territory of the Sahara desert there was a highly developed civilization of the Garamantes
Herodotus mentioned this tribe. A great kingdom of the Haramans with a high level of cultural development extended from the Atlas Mountains to the borders of Egypt.
The civilization had tunnels for water supply under the desert from Sebha in Libya to the oasis of Ghat near the Algerian border. The total length of the system is about 1600 km.
These tunnels were carved in the rock more than five millennia ago, which coincides with the date of Egypt's origin❕

The Jewish scholar Joseph ben Joshua ben Meir ha-Kohen wrote of the American giants:
"The Spaniards fought with neighboring kings, drove them out, and settled there. They found great cities there, whose inhabitants were intelligent people, trained in science... They also found there the sons of Anaca (giants), similar in height to cedars, and they brought some of them to Spain, chained together, and the Spaniards were in their eyes like grasshoppers."
Remarkably, there are sailors who have seen giants with their own eyes, there are Europeans who have seen living members of this race captured, there are sketches on maps and denoscriptions in travel diaries.

The Rohonzi Codex, a manunoscript discovered in the 1800s in Romania📜
There are over 150 letters in the alphabet. The codex has 87 religious and over 400 pages of scenes. The work tells of initiation rites, religious events of those times, and even apocalyptic events.
⠀
The codex is written in an unknown language, similar to Greek, which was probably the language of ancient Europeans🤔

If you run the image of the sculpture of Ramses II through a computer, it turns out that it is perfectly symmetrical to within 1 mm❕
In this case, the official version says that the work on the statues took decades with a hammer and chisel. But the human eye is not perfect and it is simply physically impossible to achieve such an exact result with a hand tool🤔

Let's reflect on the technology of ancient constructions? 🤫
There are many cases where a megalith or a small piece of rock was carved, leaving the surface always machined.
If you think about it, it is unlikely that ancient people gouged something out and then sanded where they hollowed it out from.
If they had hollowed out, not machined the surface, there would have been noticeable rough chipping on any stone.However, everything is perfectly flat.
We believe that much of this rock removal was a technique that allowed the rock to be cut evenly at any angle without leaving rough marks. Perhaps there was a technology to soften the rock?😉

We know from the history of technology that eyeglasses were invented in the 13th century🤔
But as early as "the first half of the 11th century, the Arab scholar Ibn al-Haysam described the magnifying lens. The East did not manage to make practical conclusions from theoretical reasoning.
In the West, the thinker Roger Bacon attempted to fashion eye lenses in 1267. His experiments ended in failure. Nevertheless information about the great discovery spread around the world. The increasing power of "crystal stones" becomes a literary metaphor.
The portal of one church in Spain depicts Saint Jerome himself, who lived seven centuries before the invention, with such optical stones❕

Tower of Babel
The legendary Tower of Babel is interpreted differently by different sources. However, more or less everyone agrees that such a temple took place in the center of the ancient city. Its mission was religious and astronomical.
Trying to reconstruct all kinds of historical chronicles, the Tower of Babel looks absolutely "not tower" - a huge shapeless structure, with a bunch of stairs, windows and doors. Just "chaos" in the middle of the city🤔

The Underground City of an Unknown Civilization❕
The city of Pınara in Turkey has long troubled archaeologists. This ancient city was built thousands of years ago directly in the rock - even the exact time of its construction remains a mystery today. But the most interesting and exciting for scientists lies in the reasons for its desolation - for a long time it was strong and rich, and then it was abruptly disappeared from the annals.
When the city was first discovered, archaeologists thought it was just a city for the dead, similar to what was common in Egypt. However, studies of the passages and catacombs yielded nothing - it was empty. No traces of people were found.

Celtic Naked Army🗡
Celtic mercenaries took part in the wars against the Romans. Historians describe them as young men who ran into battle with nothing on them or with them except a spear.
In 225 BC the mercenaries went on a campaign against the Romans ahead of a huge (and unfortunately clothed) Celtic army.
The Romans were somewhat shocked, but for some strange reason the naked maniacs lost to warriors in full battle armor. That was the end of their glorious war journey⚔️
