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?

Giants
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.

The sequoia is the largest tree on earth, and the longest-lived - according to various reports, it has lived from 2,000 to 6,000 years: more than all known ancient, middle and new human history today. Some sequoias are centuries older than the Egyptian pyramids.

Parkas' elongated skulls were finally sent for DNA analysis. Let me tell you right away that they turned out to be human. Although no alien DNA was found in the skulls, the results were able to stump scientific traditionalists.
All the skulls belonged to the Native Americans, but in the DNA found traces of haplogroups that lived in the Black and Caspian Seas, and in the foothills of the Caucasus. How the ancestors of the Indians 3,000 years ago crossed the Bering Strait and reached the Pacific coast of South America, scientists are not specified.
As, indeed, it is not specified why the volume of the Indian skull is 1.5 times larger than usual, there is no sagittal suture and traces of artificial deformation.

A descendant of the giants, 1925
This photograph was taken by Martin Chambi Jimenez, one of the first known indigenous photographers of Latin America.
He was recognized for the profound historical and ethnic documentary value of his photographs.
The photo shows a tall man, a native of the southern highlands of the province of Paruro, and the photographer himself. This race of tall people, inhabited parts of the Amazon forests no more than a few centuries ago.
The skeletons found in those places "show no signs of diseases, such as growth hormone problems, which are common in most cases of gigantism. On all the skeletons, the joints were healthy and the lung cavity was large. Most of the skeletons have all the hallmarks of old age and natural death from old age," British anthropologist Russell Dement.

Bill Gates-funded lab breeds 30 million mosquitoes a week for release in 11 countries
Scientists work in sweltering laboratories in Medellin, breeding 30 million genetically modified mosquitoes each week. The insects grow from larvae to pupae and adults, they are kept at the right temperature and fed generously with fishmeal, sugar and, of course, blood. They are then released into the wild in 11 countries.
Bill Gates, who is funding the project, assures us, "The mosquitoes being released are not terrorizing the locals. They help save and improve millions of lives."
Just as his "coronavirus vaccines" have "saved" millions of lives, and his previous vaccination projects have left thousands of women in India and Kenya barren. Or his polio vaccines, which caused paralysis, seizures and febrile convulsions in sub-Saharan Africa, Afghanistan, Congo and the Philippines.

Underwater pyramids of Yonaguni in Japan
Japan is a country of mysteries. These underwater pyramids discovered in 1985 near the western Japanese island of Yonaguni have become another mystery for modern archaeologists.
Who built these megaliths and when? Why were they submerged under water? But not only this caused and causes disputes among scientists. Till now there is no consensus: are these formations man-made or are they the fruit of natural phenomena. Stepped smooth terraces are located at a depth of 25 meters. It all seems very strange, as there are a decent number of pyramids in the world, both reproduced by nature itself and made "allegedly" by human hands.

The little-known Indian temple of Vettuvan Coyle, Tamil Nadu, India, is carved from a single piece of granite (700-800 years).
It wasn't piecemeal, it was simply taken and carved out of a whole piece of rock, scooping out thousands of tons of rock in the process.
The perseverance of the ancient Hindus is amazing.

The secret technology of ancient architecture.
Thousands of years ago, Mesoamerican civilizations discovered the secret of softening hard rock. The explorer Percival Fawcett (1867 - 1927) recorded the story of the discovery in his journal of a trip to Peru. In an ancient burial site, he discovered a clay bottle filled with a black viscous liquid with a pungent odor.
One of the members of the group decided to get the Indian guide drunk, but he resisted. In the struggle, the bottle was broken and the contents poured out onto a block of basalt. Soon the surface of the rock dissolved to a soft clay that could be molded as desired. Isn't this the secret of the perfectly fitted blocks of the Inca and Mayan pyramids, the subtlety of stone bas-reliefs and marble sculptures?
The composition of the solvent fluid remained a mystery. Major Fawcett went missing in the Amazon jungle.

This is the entrance to Vishwakarma Cave, India.
This is the oldest surviving cave in India, carved into the rock.
The cave boasts smooth facets and excellent sanding, which is not an easy and very time-consuming endeavor. A hammer and chisel can hardly do it.

Sylphion (Ferula drudeana) was one of the most valuable and sought after plants. It was used in food, in perfumery, in medicine to relieve stomach pains and to remove warts, as a powerful aphrodisiac and an equally powerful contraceptive. Suffice it to say that seedlings of the plant were valued at the price of silver.
In his work, Pliny wrote that Emperor Nero ate the last stalk of sylphion, but just a couple of years ago, Professor Mahmut Miski, a researcher of medicinal plants at Istanbul University, discovered the flowering Ferula drudeana near Mount Hasan in central Turkey.
If Professor Miski's findings are correct, the ancient plant, thought to be extinct, still exists.

In 1999, paleontologists discovered the remains of a Cyclops in Texas.
Analysis of the skeleton showed that the giant was about 2.5 - 3 m tall and weighed 250-300 kg. The bones of the skull are very heavy and dense, in life the giant was a living fighting machine. The age of the remains is 10,000 years.
In the Rhodope Mountains (Bulgaria), in 2012, discovered a skull with three eye sockets, which is fully consistent with the ancient images of the Cyclops. Official science, as always, declared a fake. The information was classified and the bones were removed and hidden, only photographs remained.
