👉The first step in eliminating people," said Hubble, "is to erase their memory. Destroy their books, their culture, their history. Then ask someone to write new books, create a new culture, invent a new history. Soon the people will begin to forget what it is and what it was. The surrounding world will forget even faster" - Milan Kander.

The memory of the masses is erased very easily, it does not take much time.

It's scary to realize that😟

With millions of tons of hand-cut stone in Egypt, chipping and errors would have been inevitable, but there are none. But there are traces that look like a bolt cutter and the finest cuts in the stone, which are impossible with a hand saw💭

Historians sometimes try to repeat the work of the Egyptians with hand tools, but their result is not even close in quality and speed to what we see in museums and in Egypt itself. When the stories about the use of copper and abrasives begin, everything rests in a simple mathematics - for creation of one sarcophagus in 100 tons it is necessary so much copper, how many Egyptians have not dug out in all their history (and there are 2 tens of such sarcophagi)🤔

The pyramids of Nis are the ruins of the mysterious city of El Tajin. Papantla, Mexico👇

In the dense, impenetrable jungles of the Mexican state of Veracruz are the ruins of the ancient city of El Tajín. The place is not an easy one, there are too many unsolved mysteries hidden in these ancient structures.

Historians have suggested that El Tajin flourished at the time of the decline of Teotihuacan and the rise of the Aztec Empire, around 800-1200 BC. The city held a special place on the entire Gulf Coast as an important cultural center.

The most impressive structure left by El Tajín is the Pyramid of the Niches🥲

It rises 20 meters, with seven stepped terraces that lead to the top. Each of the four sides is composed of rows of small niches built of stone blocks. The total number of blocks is 365, which has led researchers to believe that the pyramid could have been used as an astronomical calendar, to keep track of the days of the year🤔

Abu Ghorab Temple🤔

The sunny temple of Abu-Ghorab is a strange and unusual place, closed to tourists. The temple is located near the ruined Niusserra pyramid, about a mile and a half northeast of the pyramid complex in Abusir on an artificial mound.

Scientists were able to reconstruct the mysterious site. The temple consisted of three main structures. The lower temple, the Precession road and the Upper temple surrounded by a stone wall with sides of 100x75 meters. In the center of the Upper Temple there was a granite obelisk about 40 meters high, which is now completely destroyed. The base for the obelisk was a truncated pyramid, about 20 meters high.

The base of the obelisk, of which only a half-destroyed pedestal remained, was constructed of large limestone blocks and lined with slabs of pink granite. Only the bottom row of facing is partially preserved. The floor of the temple is made of basalt slabs, and on the walls the scenes of the Hebe-sed Niusserra and the creation of the world by the god Ra are depicted.

Cities at the bottom of the Atlantic🤔

Ufologists from several countries almost simultaneously discovered a mysterious structure at the bottom of the Atlantic Ocean. Something that looks like an underwater bridge of enormous dimensions (almost 40 kilometers long).

Underwater roads lead from the bridge to an even more mysterious structure, whose dimensions are approximately 250 by 140 kilometers. The entire ensemble looks man-made, but it is not the work of human hands.

It is assumed that nature cannot create such structures. And a man with his technology has not yet reached such depths.

The Chileans are not far behind the Italians and the builders of Isaac. A black and white photo was printed in the "Book of Chilean Exhibits..." 1929, showing a man of habitual height standing at the door of the Central Bank of Chile💭

How ridiculous the person looks in front of these gigantic doors can be seen in the color photo on the right, the doors for people of normal height resemble a cat's door, so ridiculous does it look in the general construction of the doors. Moreover, its size fits perfectly into the bottom lobe of the giant door, but the person entering has to duck to avoid hitting his head. Where's the logic in that?🤔

The bank officially opened in 1926. The first floor in the basement, the antique style of architecture and the gigantic doors give reasons to doubt "opened" and are more inclined to the phrases "dug up", "restored", "remade".

In the 19th century, the stoves were heated with radium🤔

In the castle, and later in the surrounding villages, researchers noticed the stoves. Slits on them were depicted in the form of a sign of radiation. Such stoves have a rather unusual structure. It almost makes no sense to heat them with coal, the fuel consumption is too high. Many models have no pipes at all, as if they did not need smoke extraction. On such stoves are also marked radium.

Huge rooms a radium stove could heat, unlike any fireplace or wood-burning stove.

In 1886, a large expedition of scientists landed on Easter Island, who spent 3 years exploring the island, described everything they found, mapped and systematized objects🤔

The results came out in 1891, but the most outstanding asset of the island - the statues of moai paid scant attention. Sketched one billet to the giant moai in the quarry, and now there are two of them. There are 5 ready-made icons, but there are 887 of them on the island. What does that mean?

And even the photo of buried moai when compared with the sketch doesn't fit together - the head of the statue is turned either with the temple to the wall, or with the back of the head. Just like the falsifiers who drew the pyramids.

Thor's Hammers😱

To date, more than 1,000 t-shaped pendants, called Mjöllnir, have been found throughout Northern Europe. They were originally supposed to symbolize the hammer of the god Thor. But this has never been confirmed, and their strange shape has always raised doubts. Now Danish archaeologists have found the answer - it is, after all, the hammer of Thor.

Not so long ago, archaeologists found in Kobelev an amulet Mjellnir of the 10th century. On the bronze pendant was engraved the innoscription "Hmar x is." When translated, the straightforward text reads: "This is the hammer😁

The size of the megaliths is astounding. The slabs show machine workmanship (possibly casting)🤔

Scientists have now concluded that the human species may be much older than previously thought🤔

In 1938, a section of Upper Carboniferous fossilized beach with barefoot footprints (they were left more than 300 million years ago) was discovered in Kentucky.

"Each footprint had five toes and a clearly distinguishable characteristic sag. The toes were widely spaced, which is characteristic of man who never wore shoes... Like a human foot, the foot of the creature that left the footprints sagged back toward the heel, which also looked perfectly human," reported Professor W. Burroughs, dean of the geology department at Berrea (Kentucky) College.

One critic stated that the footprints could have been carved by people of a later time, but he was countered - but under a microscope one finds not carving marks, but subtle features of compression of sand under foot pressure. Similar marks have also been found in Pennsylvania and Missouri💭

The statue of Vishvakarman is holding a mysterious artifact in his hand. But there is no mystery for surveyors, it is their standard working tool - construction theodolite🤔

One could argue that the theodolite usually works in tandem with a surveying ruler, but in his left hand the deity is just holding a long flat object similar to that very ruler. India is a country of grandiose temple complexes that cannot be built without precise measuring instruments. And no such instruments have ever been found until now, but maybe we should take a closer look at the statue of the ancient gods.

In Iraq, 750 meters above sea level, is the Shanidar Cave, famous among archaeologists. Its uniqueness is that the cultural layers are mixed with layers of silt, sand, shells and small pebbles.

And this in a cave that has never been a seabed! Archaeologists have discovered four disasters that befell not only the cave itself, but also the man who lived in it.

What did the Mayans say? We are the fifth civilization living on Earth, and the previous ones were destroyed by cataclysms?😁

What is this?
This is a real pyramid made by the Egyptians🤔

Along with the "perfect" ancient structures, there are "not perfect" ones. They are quite consistent with the time of creation.

Most likely, people tried to repeat what they already see. But it turned out as they could - clumsily and unsemitrically.

There are many examples of this at Giza. There is the Cheops pyramid, and there are already crumbling small pyramids, they look more like sand hills. You can say for sure that they were built by the ancient Egyptians😅.

Cuicuilco. The oldest pyramid in Mesoamerica🤔

This pyramid is considered the oldest pyramid in Mesoamerica. Although, strictly speaking, the structure has nothing in common with the geometric figure called a pyramid and it would be better to call it a "stepped truncated cone".

The ancient age is indicated by the lava field that once covered the lower layers of the "pyramid". Though Dmitry Pavlov, based on the character of lava distribution, has expressed doubts that it took place. And in principle, we cannot exclude a variant that builders for some reasons decided to break an older lava layer and put the base of the pyramid below it (though I am inclined to consider such development of events too unlikely).

Overall: a very primitive construction. And it would be nothing interesting if not for a few red stones with obviously polished flat even faces.

Near the Teti pyramid there is a wonderful alabaster block with an unusually curved saw cut extending to the bottom

What was used? A tubular drill fits the shape, but it should be truly gigantic in size, several meters in diameter. It is more logical to assume the use of an analogue of a bolster - a circular saw (neither a flat saw, nor a rope or a cable with abrasive does not fit the shape of the cut). But even here the curvature of the cut requires unusual dimensions of the tool - the disk must be thin, otherwise the kerf would be wider.

Many dams built in the 20th century are cracking and falling apart. They regularly have to be repaired, rebuilt. It's funny, but large institutions worked on the structures.

What does it take to build a dam that will stand as solidly as the Tibi Dam? Imagine, Tibi has been holding back the river for five centuries.

Has the quality of our education declined? Or are today's engineers all hackers?😁
