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.

In 1928 A. Fleming discovered that the mold Penicillium was lethal to the bacteria Staphylococcus. This world's first antibiotic turned the world of medicine upside down and saved millions of lives.

Balda's medical treatise was written around 900-950, based on an earlier 9th-century Latin text. It contains recipes for herbal concoctions, incantations and prayers - treating as best he could. There was also a recipe for an eye ointment made of onions, garlic, wine, and ox bile. Researchers mixed the recipe in the lab and the medieval ointment killed 999 out of 1,000 Staphylococcus aureus cells, both for in vitro and in vivo cultures on infected mice. Even the diluted version of the ointment was a powerful weapon.

While we thought that of the antiseptics the people of the 9c had only a sign of the cross, in reality in the 9-10c the healers not only created the world's first antibiotic, but their recipe can also save our contemporaries when the Staphylococcus aureus superbacterium becomes immune to current antibiotics.

Ta Prohm is a 7th century temple complex known for scenes from Lara Croft filmed there.

Its main feature are the dinosaur bas-reliefs. But the fact is that the existence of Stegosaurus (which is depicted on the bas-relief) is not only not proven, but also has not been found before.

Either people knew about the existence of dinosaurs in the past, millions of years ago, or dinosaurs existed with humans.

On the lineage of European peoples

Modern historians claim that the Scythians are extinct, but their colleagues a couple of centuries ago claimed that the Scythians simply migrated, founding many European peoples.

The 17th century Dutch historian Matthäus Smallegang: "The Scythians, later the Celts and now the Cimrians, who inhabited the outskirts of Gaul...multiplied endlessly, so they decided to migrate. Leaving the ends of Gaul and mingling with the other Belgians, they became a great multitude who had the same name.... From the Scythians sprang those who were called Celts, because of the coldness of their lands.

How diamonds proved that life existed on Earth 4.2 billion years ago

In 1983, researchers from Western Australia found 22 diamonds inside several zirconia crystals. The diamonds consisted of carbon-12, which is only formed in huge quantities when there are living organisms around.

The diamonds have been determined to be 4.2 billion years old, and the first single-celled organism appeared 3.5 billion years ago. Does that make it 700 million years later?

Studied a 17th-century Netherlands chronicle and compared it with contemporary chronicles.

The official version says that in 365, the Alemans crossed the Rhine and invaded Galilee. The Alemans in modern history are a "union of Germanic tribes," like a Finno-Ugric hodgepodge.

Dutch Chronicle 1620: "In the year 370 or so, the Wiltes and the Slavs (they are now Dutch); and the Niedersassen (which are now Frisians) made mutual exchanges, gathered into a very large people, and moved in ships up the Rhine ... attacked and destroyed everything in the land of Tvals and in Upper Dautsland. Kaiser Valentinian...took his ships, sailed down the Rhine and destroyed, razed to the ground their large and fortified castle to Wiltenburg."

It turns out, the Alemans got their own names: the Wilt (descendants of the Slavs), the Slavs and the Frisians. And the Slavs at the end of the 17th century are still considered Holanders.

The sacred lake at the Temple of Karnak

The lake does not dry up, was built by order of King Thutmose III. The size of the basin is 80 meters long and 40 meters wide.

For more than 3000 years, the water in the lake has never dried up, the water level is always the same. This is the result of the engineering thought of the ingenious ancient planner.

Technology that science keeps out of the population

In 1920, engineer Royal Rife created the world's first ultraviolet microscope with a magnification of 50,000 times. It allowed us to see a living virus. Fifteen years later, Rife created a frequency generator whose radiation affected pathogenic microflora without damaging the surrounding tissue. Fourteen fully documented cases of complete healing of cancer patients and the use of his generator was banned in the United States.

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