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.

THE WONDERS OF THE SALT CAVES

Salt has been valued at all times. It is not for nothing that the name "white gold" has been retained since ancient times. There are salt mines in many countries around the world, and today many mines have been turned into fascinating excursion sites.

One of the highlights of the Realmont is the salt cave on the largest island in the Mediterranean Sea of Sicily. The incredible scale, healing air and beautiful patterns attract thousands of tourists here!

The Eiffel Tower was conceived as the entrance arch to an exhibition held in 1889. The exhibition showcased energy achievements and the latest inventions.

The 1900 photo of the tower shows structures that have not survived to this day. At the same time, the structure gave off illumination no worse than in the days of Catherine from "ether" electricity.

A post for fans of big SEALs. Peter, China, Florida, and Alexandria, flooded more than 1,000 years ago - it would seem, what do they have in common? Balloon lion statues, identical except for the position of the tail and the fact that in St. Petersburg the lions are covered in cracks.

A single civilization can be united not only by technology, but also by the idea of beauty, and what could be more beautiful than a SEAL?

In completely different parts of the world people have thought of making identical lions, each holding a ball under its front paw. We can also think of the coincidence of patterns on the clothes of the Russians and on the clothes of the ancient Egyptians.

1912. Bailey Electric with an Edison battery during a thousand-mile test run

Everyone knows that the combustion engine has a very low efficiency of about 23%. An electric motor has 90-95% efficiency. And knowing this, engineers and scientists continued to improve gasoline engines. As a result, the future is in electric motors.
The technology has been known for a long time. But progress had to be stalled in the name of super profits from oil.

Historical note: the doors in the photo, from the Curia Julia, were moved in 1660 to become the central gate of the Roman Basilica of St. John Lateran.

Giant-sized doors with handles at human height and a deadbolt at the height of... of what, I don't know. And for what: in the case of an attack, it would not be possible to close it quickly either.

It is interesting to see the official thoughts on this subject. And other giant doors, thank God there are enough of them all over the world.

A guy found a secret door in his house, but he had no idea where it led.

During a routine renovation of his house in 1963, a Turk made an incredible discovery. It turned out that behind the dismantled wall was a secret room that led to a lost underground city called Derinkuyu. After investigation, it was discovered that the space consisted of 8 tiers and was as deep as 60 meters underground. The tunnels of the city were hollowed out of soft volcanic rock - tuff.

The tunnels had all the amenities necessary for a comfortable stay at that time: living quarters, kitchens, wells, bakeries, workshops, even stables and stables. The city could accommodate about 20,000 people together with their belongings and supplies.

That nothing was known about Derinkuyu for so many years is unthinkable. Just imagine the feelings of people who have lived all their lives above the ancient lost city without having the slightest idea about it.

A device similar to a wi-fi printer was first presented at the end of the 19th century at the World's Fair in Paris.

Inventor O. Mouchot demonstrated the Insolator, the first device that transformed solar energy into mechanical energy.

According to the official version, the principle of operation was as follows: a large concave mirror focused the sun's rays on the steam boiler, which drove a printing press that made 500 prints of newspaper per hour. Except that the detail in the center of the "plate" doesn't look like a boiler.
