If an ancient Roman had seen what they were building with now, he would have asked: "And you call this concrete?"😳

This photo is from the Aqua Virgo aqueduct, which Marcus Agrippa built and commissioned in 19 B.C. It is the only one of the Roman aqueducts that is still running almost continuously to this day, holding 1201 litres of water per second, for over 2000 years.

Appreciate the condition of the Roman concrete - as if it had been laid yesterday. It's incredible that concrete has been able to survive for thousands of years. Can modern concrete be compared to ancient mortar? Looking at these technologies, the question arises, were the ancient builders really more primitive than us?😅

This woman is holding a newspaper that she has kept since 2011🤔

The paper contains an article by Bill Gates called "Depopulation through Compulsory Vaccination". Gates thinks it would be the most "environmentally friendly solution".

No one gave it much thought at the time🤬

In 2002, the American popular science press broke the news about the discovery by their compatriots🤔

They found a bundle of gold fibres as thick as a hair in an ice core. The American publications stated the age of the artefacts as 22,000-24,000 years.

This means that the metal threads of 100% pure gold, raised from the depths of the Antarctic ice sheet, belonged to an unknown civilization. And if there is a civilisation, you have to dig deeper!

A man discovered a 14th-century architectural heritage in his home in Ubeda, Spain.

in 2016, Juan Francisco decided to overhaul his home. But the work to renovate the home didn't last long, as he found a Renaissance bas-relief behind the wall that Juan had safely demolished.

It turned out that the façade of St George's Hospital, said to have been built back in the fourteenth century, had been hidden behind the house's wall for centuries.

The façade found in Juan's house has been designated a UNESCO World Heritage Site.

Now one wonders: how much more of this beauty has been destroyed by restorers and renovators?🤔

We compared photos of the Umberto Gallery in Naples🤔

On the left in Roman letters the year 890 above the arch, on the right in the photo after restoration added M. The building has dramatically aged a thousand years - 1890.

We already had records, books and engravings with the substitution of the chronology, but not many such evidences have survived.

Technology that science keeps out of the public eye🤬

In 1920, engineer Royal Rife created the world's first ultraviolet microscope with a magnification of 50,000 times. It allowed a live virus to be seen.

Fifteen years later Rife created a frequency generator whose radiation affected pathogenic microflora without damaging surrounding tissues.

Fourteen fully documented cases of complete healing of cancer patients and the use of his generator was banned in the US.

Experiments with the frequency generator were repeated by our contemporaries, confirming the simplicity and effectiveness of the method to fight viruses and pathogens. But official medicine has refused to acknowledge the development.

See the dates of the beginning of the world wars:

1) World War I 28 07 1914
28+07+19+14= 68

2) World War II 01 09 1939
01+09+19+39= 68

3) Now beginning of action 24 02 2022
24+02+20+22= 68

According to Jewish gematria, one of the meanings of 68 is "big bang".

I also suggest googling the name of episode 68 of "Doctor Who"

An acoustic effect called 'Ketzal's tail' occurs when someone makes an impulsive sound, applauding or playing a percussion instrument in front of a pyramid step. If we make a slap about 40 metres on the perpendicular of the stairs, we hear a sharp sound, a strange squeak, a sound similar to the singing of the quetzal, the sacred Mayan bird.

The lining of the Mencourt pyramid is uneven granite blocks. Although there are a couple of places where it has been levelled, and to a height of five blocks. But with what?🤔

Today it can be repeated without any questions with modern firing techniques: granite crumbles from temperature or during processing of stone by boucharding (here there is a question of the size of the tool).

At the same time, with this size of processing, the angle of inclination has to be maintained. And after that, the officials say that the Egyptians did not have serious tools?

The Romans destroyed Carthage, preserving only one tablet with text from the temple of Baal Hamon. The tablet described a colonisation campaign - Gannon, a Carthaginian navigator, sailed along the coast of Africa, established colonies in the Gibraltar area and followed the strait to the south of the continent, describing the gorillas he saw on the shores of Gabon.

Judging by the tablet, as early as the 5th century BC, people were travelling vast distances on their ships, exploring distant lands and making maps. So it turns out that all European geographical discoveries and their attempts at cartography are simply reinventing the bicycle? The logical question is, if all the lands were already known and explored, where has this knowledge gone?

When engineer Yoshitaro Shibasaki and his team completed their 1907 ascent of Mount Tsurugi - thought to be the last unconquered mountain left in the Japanese archipelago - they found an ancient sword at the top, which was later determined to have been left there more than 1,000 years ago.

Someone was too lazy to pick it up😁

Inexplicable but true!

Hemingway fought in two world wars during his life. In WWI he was hit by a mortar and received 206 wounds and 26 shrapnel.

He survived anthrax, malaria, skin cancer, pneumonia and diabetes. He survived two car accidents and even survived a plane crash, survived a ruptured kidney, hepatitis, ruptured spleen, fractured skull base. A crushed vertebra healed, and didn't even leave him paralyzed.

Eventually, he committed suicide.

Under Naples there is a whole gigantic network of dungeons, grottos, caves and tunnels whose actual size cannot be ascertained. Speleologists, diggers and archaeologists have found in the Stella area about 62 artificial grottoes that have been restored for use, their total volume is about 160,000m³. Another 86 caves under San Carlo all'Arena, 85 in the Avvocata area, 34 in San Fernando and the Chiaia area, 32 under San Lorenzo and 28 under Cape Posillipo. "But that's not all!"

Presumably, the underground cavities are now known to cover an area of about 1mn m², the rest are in an abandoned or ruined state and cannot yet be evaluated and explored.

Naples literally consists of a surface and underground city. While the network of water wells and canals can be attributed to medieval constructions, some of the grottoes and tunnels are the legacy of even older builders.

The stele of the pharaoh Cheops is rarely exhibited in museums, but often lies in the storerooms.

The whole reason is in the text on the stele - it confirms that the Sphinx stood before Cheops, the Great Pyramids too, Cheops himself built only the temple of Isis, which in size and technology is strongly inferior to both the pyramids and the Sphinx. Such is the degradation of technology, of which the hieroglyphs are carved in stone.

Official historians do not recognize this translation of the innoscriptions, but could not provide their own sensible version. As soon as independent Egyptologists and translators offer to help with the translation, the stele disappears from the expositions.

These massive monolithic stone doors were once part of the entrance to the Royal Pantry of Hampi. Each half of the door measures 4 feet by 15 feet.

Imagine the skills to carve from a solid piece of stone!

Flood Fact. Stumps of swamp cypresses at the bottom of a sand pit

In Hungary, four- to eight-meter-long stumps were found at the bottom of an open sand pit. Remarkably, these stumps are perfectly preserved and the wood is not hardened. The thickness of the stumps is impressive. One stump is three meters in diameter at the butt.
