Scientists have never been able to figure out how this was done...
Miniature boxwood altars (Boxwood: a genus of plants in the boxwood family, slow-growing evergreen shrubs and trees that grow to heights of 2 to 12 meters) have long puzzled researchers around the world. Recently, these tiny religious objects have been collected from private collections and re-examined.
The items originate from the sixteenth century. Thirty-five such miniatures have been examined and each has stumped connoisseurs. No explanation has yet been found, all hope lies in x-rays, the human eye simply cannot cope.Using a microscope and advanced 3D scanning software, researchers have figured out just how intricate these miniature altars really are. The inner layers adjoin each other so tightly that they hide the decorations behind them. Only with an x-ray can they be detected.

The floor in the cathedral replicates a modern electrical circuit
Chartres Cathedral is a masterpiece of French Gothic. The official date of the beginning of construction is 1194. Except that the pattern on the floor looks strange. Could there be such a coincidence, given that it was done 800 years ago?

Orontius Phineus' 1532 world map shows Antarctica without ice cover
One would believe the historians that the southern continent was drawn simply to balance the map, that it is a fiction and fantasy, that they simply did not know about the ice cover, if not for one thing - the continent in its general outline remarkably resembles a modern image, and the mountain ranges on the outskirts corresponded to the numerous rises discovered in Antarctica only in recent years.
Not too much of a coincidence for a simple coincidence?

Looking at maps of South America you can find a long rounded trail at the Drake Passage.
Moreover, on maps of 1570 this strait is not yet present and America is connected to Antarctica.
It turns out that the catastrophe occurred after the 16th century, but there is no record of a huge celestial body falling and destroying part of the continent? Didn't see the flying asteroid, or didn't notice the missing land?

Nazca Lines, Peru, Nazca Plateau
Under the heading "The world's oldest structures with unsolved mysteries".
A 47-meter spider, a 93-meter hummingbird, a 134-meter eagle, a lizard, an alligator, a snake and other zoomorphic and humanoid creatures... Giant images from a bird's eye view seem scratched into the vegetation-free rock, as if by one hand, in the same style. In fact, these are furrows up to 50 cm deep and 135 cm wide, made at different times in the V-VII centuries.

On October 9, 1780, the most powerful hurricane in history, the Great Hurricane, broke out
The hurricane was named San Calixto II. It killed all life for a week before subsiding. According to various estimates, about 27 thousand people living on the blooming islands of Haiti, Grenada, Martinique and dozens of others were killed.
The survivors of the nightmare recalled two things: because of the wind, they could not hear their own voices, and the voices of those around them. The wind and rain stripped the bark off the trees - this was recorded en masse in various places. Such an effect is possible if the wind speed reaches 320-350 km/h. That is, San Calixto II blew with the speed of a Formula 1 race car. It is known that the coastal villages on different islands were literally flooded with a wave of over 7 meters high.

Why old spiral staircases turn clockwise.
This is a tradition from the Middle Ages. The spiral staircases in the towers of medieval castles were built so that the ascent was clockwise.
The reason was that if the castle was overrun, the defenders had an advantage in a hand-to-hand fight on the stairs, because the right hand could strike the hardest blow.

The Palazzo Farnese in Rome was built around 1530. One of the decorations in the painted halls, besides the magnificent frescoes, was a detailed map of the world. The map is incredibly detailed, with riverbeds, cities, ports and landmarks.
It differs from what we are used to with Green Antarctica. on the map can everyone see? Well, Antarctica... A huge single continent made up of two Americas, where South America is connected to the flowering lands of Antarctica. And no Drake Strait!

In the 19th century, the stoves were heated with radium
In the castle, and later in the surrounding villages, explorers 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 stove with radium could heat, unlike any fireplace or wood burning stove.

This vase was made in ancient Assyria in the 8th century B.C.
It is made of amethyst, which is one of the most valuable varieties of quartz.
The uniqueness of the vase lies in several things at once.
Firstly, you can see its exquisite workmanship, not to mention the two holes in the sides. In our time, the creation of such products is not a problem, but how realistic it was to make such a vase 3000 years ago?
By the way, now look at the effort required to make amethyst:
1. Deburring.
2. Finishing with diamond grinding tools.
3. finishing with diamond paste
Grinding on the loose abrasive
5. Polishing with chrome oxide.
Another mystery is the shape. It resembles an egg, but the vase is stable on the surface.
How was it possible to achieve such balance and stability of the vase by hand processing?

Modern photos of ancient stone quarries allow us to see the smallest polished details, cuts, semicircular saw marks.
And how were these things made by people who had nothing but a hammer and a hammer?

Many archaeological finds around the world supposedly prove that the Earth was once inhabited by giants.
The photo shows the footprint of a giant's huge leg.
Do you think there really were giants?

The pyramid of Saint-André.
This ancient pyramid of Saint-André, over 50 meters high and 200 meters at its base, was located northeast of Nice, dating back to 4000 BC and was an important historical record of European civilization on the continent before the Roman Empire and the advent of Christianity.
However, despite its historical importance, the pyramid was completely demolished in the 1970s to make way for the freeway.

The photo shows modern attempts to transport stone blocks.
In human history, larger stones have been lifted and moved, such as the lower blocks of the Egyptian pyramids, the trilithons of Baalbek and Stonehenge. Where did the car driver go wrong? Judging by the denoscriptions of the transportation process in antiquity from our historians, modern people have the wrong tactics. They should have taken wooden skids, tied them with string and hauled them with a human engine. Then they would have had no problem getting the stone to the site.

Hanging Rock (Krasnoyarsk Territory).
One of the wonders of nature is located in the nature reserves "Ergaki" - a stone block weighing about 600 tons, as if frozen on the edge of a precipice.
The stone has been standing in such a rickety position for hundreds of years, and no one can figure out how it is holding on. Its whole appearance: the slope and the very small area of contact with the rock clearly show the instability of the position.
