Oh Solomon! Solomon! You Greeks, as children, you do not know anything about ancient times. You don't know anything about the graying knowledge of the past
Egyptian priests
Good day, friends. What do you think: gods lived on Earth? By gods, I mean representatives of ancient highly developed civilizations. Those who had deep knowledge in mechanics, mathematics, physics, astronomy and so on.
Personally, I do not know what to think. They say and show a lot of different things, and, naturally, openly put forward delusional theories. But the topic is still interesting and I want to talk about it.
Traces of ancient highly developed civilizations
Science believes that the first civilizations arose around the 3rd millennium BC. e. However, on Earth there are many mysterious places and artifacts that can argue with this. For instance:
Skulls with diamond fillings, whose age is 10,000 BC. e. Modern dentistry cannot do this.
Walls of ancient buildings with earthquake-resistant masonry. For example, in Italy and Latin America. The stone slabs of these walls are adjusted to each other with such precision and density that you cannot stick a needle between them. The secret of the masonry is not solved, and the walls date back to 10,000 BC. e.
Pyramids in Giza, Baalbek, Tiauanako, Chavin de Huantar and others.
Nazca Plateau Lines. It is clear "how" and it is not clear "why."
Easter Island.
Strange Egyptian hieroglyphs and similar drawings (ancient people painted helicopters, submarines, planes, astronauts and so on).
A huge number of legends and myths (looking at which from a certain angle you can rethink a lot).
Disappeared Atlantis.
And many many others.
Who are Osiris, Viracocha and Quetzalcoatl? Perhaps these are not fictional characters, but ... people who once lived? Or maybe aliens? If in ancient times there was a highly developed civilization, then where is it now? Why do we know so little?
* In general, of course, the theory is bursting at the seams, because traces ancient civilization it should be much more, and the question of its disappearance is worth an edge. Well, really, what happened? A catastrophe or “gods” just flew to another planet? The husband said that not a single rational creature, settled on Earth, will leave it - a planet with rich natural resources.
I don’t know, honestly, questions can be asked endlessly, and traces of ancient highly developed civilizations are found everywhere. But specifically in this article we will look at some strange archaeological finds in our area.
Alexinsky stones
In 1999, as a result of archaeological excavations, not far from the village of Salomasovo in the Aleksinsky district of the Tula region, the northernmost site of an ancient man in Eastern Europe was discovered. Dated to its Paleolithic period
* Paleolithic is an ancient stone age, in figures of about 10,000 years BC. e.
Aleksinsky local historian Sergey Zverev collected silicon tools and samples of creativity of an ancient person. There is nothing surprising in them, something else is strange - the images applied to the samples.
Drawings on them in content can be divided into several groups:
items;
signs and symbols;
living things;
facilities;
cosmic symbolism;
cryptographic letters.
After a long study of samples by various specialists, Zverev made bold conclusions - once upon a time on our planet there were not just intelligent people. And people with amazing knowledge received from representatives of extraterrestrial civilization. And the image data is nothing but intergalactic messages.
According to a lecture by ufologist Nikolai Subbotin (Perm branch of RUFORS) Traces of ancient civilizations in the Urals.
In 1994, Radik Garipov, a former ranger of the Krasnovishersky Reserve (Perm Territory), with a group of rangers made a detour of the cordons. A cube of regular shape with faces of 2 meters was discovered on the Tulim Range.
In 2012, R. Garipov, as a guide with a group of scientists from Perm University, made an ethnographic expedition to the Krasnovishersky Reserve. Scientists along the way searched for traces of ancient civilizations, and Garipov spoke about that stone on the Tulim Range.
On the slope of the ridge, several blocks were found with obvious traces of instrumental processing of sericite slate. Face polishing was so high-tech that, despite the enormous number of years, lichens could not invade the cobblestone. At the same time, all surrounding Kurumniks are covered with greenish lichens. On the ridge itself, they found a perfectly smooth, as if specially cleared area. From a distance, it seems small, but its size is about four football fields (photo above).
The Ural Mountains are low, as the oldest on the planet. From above, they are everywhere covered with kuramniki - stone fragments left over from the glacier. This site is completely cleared of large and small boulders. As if she were cut off. Helicopter pilots say that there are several such sites there (6) and are usually located at dominant heights. It is cut off as if by specially ledges perfectly evenly.
Of course, on that ridge we also found dolmens in the Urals, many pyramidal structures made of stones about two meters high. By the way, there are such ones on Iremel.
After Perm spread this information in 2012, in particular, they wrote an article in the Communist Party, they began to receive a lot of photos from all over the Urals, mainly tourists.
By the way, there are a dime a dozen of such bulyans on Taganai.
Length about three meters, thickness 40 cm.
They can’t date this civilization yet. If you believe the Tibetan lamas that before us on Earth there were 22 civilizations, whose traces are these? Impossible to say.
In the Urals, there are other mysterious objects, for example, such, relatively speaking, a corral as on Konzhakovsky stone (Sverdlovsk region). This is a circle with a diameter of about 5 meters. All these artifacts are in remote places. No roads nearby.
Very strange objects similar to ancient mining. Geologists have suggested that these are the effects of a glacier. That is, the glacier came 120-100 thousand years ago, then left 40 thousand years ago, dragging along piles of stones and heaped such heaps. But if you look, you can see that this whole pile consists of small stones ground by some kind of tool. This is clearly not a glacier, but traces of some mining activity. In Yakutia, similar embankment objects also exist.
There is a remote area of \u200b\u200bthe Northern Urals, called the Small Chender. This is the very north Perm region. There is the Black Pyramid Mountain. It can be seen that the neighboring mountains are irregular in shape. And here is an absolutely isosceles pyramid. The mountain consists entirely of quartzites. At the base there used to be a mine. By the way, in the "most abnormal area Of Russia ”- Molebke (Perm Territory) has many quartzites. Under certain conditions, during compression of rocks, they accumulate static electricity, that is, they are such resonators and energy storage devices. And then the whole mountain consists of quartzites. Often there are different visual effects: balls, glows. Plus, there is an impact on people. They experience fear, physical sensations.
The lone traveler Tom Zamorin visited this Black Pyramid. On the way I met small pyramids made of stones. He says that he felt the presence of someone all the time, that someone was watching him. When I began to fall asleep, I heard steps. I understood well that this is not an animal, that this is a two-legged creature, but not a person. Tom heard him go around the tent and stand at the entrance and as if looking through it. Most likely it was snowman, which is not uncommon in the Northern Urals (in the Southern too). Well, I immediately recall the Dyatlov Pass, which is nearby (see map below).
It was also not possible to find out who developed this old mine at the foot of the Black Mountain. Since the 18th century, no data. Near the mine there is a valley with the funny name Death Valley. No one can explain the name, but they say that there once tourists died because of the mudflow that descended from the mountain.
In the Sverdlovsk region there is the Devil's hillfort. There are many objects with this name in the Urals and in Russia. As a rule, this is associated with some kind of temples. The place is strange. As if ancient city. The masonry is definitely man-made.
The base to 3-4 rims laid out in the correct blocks. The wall is 30 meters high and consists of vertical pillars. Between the stones, as it were, a kind of bonding solution. How many thousands or millions of years this fortress? But there are modern driven hooks. The place is popular with climbers. And here is what is scattered around the Devil's hillfort.
There are dozens of such regular plates around.
Maybe it was an ancient defensive wall? Could be destroyed by some kind of explosion or earthquake. On the one hand, the wall is flat, and on the other, there are many platforms, steps on which you can climb up without auxiliary equipment. Upstairs is a flat platform with a side. Among the stones there are many clearly made, rather than natural, completely round holes, through which you can follow or shoot. Around there are still many such incomprehensible channels similar to a dolmen, perhaps it is drainage systems.
Still interesting place in the Sverdlovsk region Popov island.
There are many such man-made objects of the correct form. There are also different steps, chamfer holes as if drilled by a giant drill. There are many interesting and completely round lakes in the Urals with diameters from 100 to 500 meters and an island in the middle. Perhaps this is a trace of a nuclear explosion. In the legends of the Urals and Siberia there are some echoes of an ancient atomic war. Not to mention the Mahabharata, where everything is described in the best possible way. There are completely round craters of artificial origin in other regions of the Earth, for example, in Yakutia, in Africa, etc. It should be added that Southern Urals there are a great many similar stone objects (Iremel, Taganay, Arakul, Allaki ...).
According to Ural legends, divine people used to live in the Northern Urals, otherwise a strange white-eyed one. There is a cave 8 meters deep in the North of the Perm Territory near Nyrob Divya. Some sounds, rustling, singing are often heard there, in the grottoes a person sometimes experiences fear and horror (presumably due to infrasound). Sometimes they meet in the forests of some little men 120 cm high in strange clothes made of shabby. In the Perm region there are so-called “Peipsi wells” - vertical holes with a diameter of 50 cm. As if drilled in the earth with a laser of unknown depth, some flooded. According to legend, a chud went underground.
There are also legends about giants who once lived in the Urals (Svyatogor).
Such a map of artifacts along the border of Perm Territory and Sverdlovsk Region. Somewhere a little south, the famous Molebka is the most fun place in the Urals.
The famous Man-Pupu-Ner (Komi).
Stone outcrops on a flat plateau. Everyone argues what is it? Different versions: weathering, magma exit from an ancient volcano. Or maybe these are the remains of some man-made object?

In the development of life on Earth, the history of mankind is only a brief moment. The history of the development of civilization began much earlier than writing appeared, as evidenced by numerous archaeological data. Millennia ago, a great civilization lived and worked on Earth, the level of which we have not reached today.
Why did the great civilization of antiquity disappear? Perhaps the flowering of cultures was cut off by the Flood, which is described in the Bible, the Sumerian Tales of Gilgamesh, hundreds of legends and myths of ancient peoples? During brief history of humanity on our planet there was a sharp melting of glaciers at the end of the last glacial era, which ended between 15000 and 10000 BC. e. Traces of ancient civilization are found on all continents of the Earth:
Pyramids of Giza, the Great Sphinx, Osirion, Chichen Itza, Palenque, Teotihuacan, Machu Picchu, Geoglyphs Nazca, Oliantaytambo, Saksayuaman, Tiauuanaco, Yonaguni, Bona.
Giza Pyramids (Egypt)
The Three Main Pyramids of Giza
The three main Pyramids of Giza are located relative to the Nile Valley in such a way that they reproduce the position of the three stars of the Orion Belt relative to the Milky Way in 10450 BC. Arguing with astronomical calculations, Robert Buvel and Adrian Gilbert ("Secrets of the Pyramids") put forward a hypothesis about the estimated time for the start of construction of the Giza complex - 10450 BC.
British writer and journalist Graham Hancock (The Riddle of the Sphinx) called the space monuments of Giza “a stone book that came down from heaven,” because the three great pyramids of Giza are terrestrial analogs of the three stars of the Orion Belt, and the Sphinx is an earthly representation of the constellation Leo.
The ancient Egyptians called the Giza complex - "the home of Mr. Rostau" - one of the titles of God Osiris. According to the list of the ancient Greek historian Manetho, the reign of God Osiris is the middle of the eleventh millennium BC. e.
The Great Pyramid - the Cheops pyramid consists of 203 rows of masonry, 2.3 million blocks, weighs over 6 million tons. The weight of especially large blocks is 10-15 tons. In ancient times, the pyramid was lined with 115 thousand polished slabs, each weighing 10 tons. The dimensions of the plates were maintained with an accuracy of about 0.2 mm, the joints were adjusted so that it is impossible to stick the knife blades into them.
The ancient builders of the Great Pyramid adjusted the angles of the base of the pyramid to 90 ° with outstanding accuracy: the southeast corner is 89 ° 562273, the north-east is 90 ° 3223, the south-west is 89 ° 562273, the north-west is 89 ° 592583. Such an accurate construction technique defies explanation.
“However, in Egypt there is no trace of such an evolutionary process. Great Pyramid and her neighbors in Giza appeared as if from a black hole in the history of architecture, so deep and wide that neither its bottom nor its sides are visible ”(Graham Hancock,“ Traces of the Gods ”).
GREAT SPHINX (EGYPT)
The Sphinx is the largest solid sculpture in the world: 20 meters in height, more than 70 meters in length. According to the "Emerald Tablets" by Hermes Trismegistus, the age of the Sphinx is 10-15 thousand years.
The American clairvoyant Edgar Cayce claimed that the Sphinx was built between 10490 and 10390 BC. e. Some researchers believe that the Great Sphinx is a pointer to the Era of Leo on the calendar of the equinoxes and corresponds to the period between 10970 and 8810 BC.
The American geologist Robert Schoch claims that the sphinx furrows are formed by water, which would require at least a thousand years of constant, heavy rains. Computer calculations based on this theory have shown that the Sphinx is 10-15 thousand years old.
OSIRION - ABIDOS (EGYPT)
Osirion is composed of huge monolithic blocks of granite using the megalithic masonry technique. The stone is carefully processed, the blocks are fitted to each other without a gap and the use of a solution. The central part of the building has two colonnades of 10 columns of granite. The cross section of each column is a square with a side of 2.5 meters, the height of the column is about 4 meters, the weight of each monolith is 65 tons! The corners of some monoliths have a complex polygonal profile, the blocks are joined according to the principle of the puzzle.
The buildings of Osirion are oriented strictly to the northeast, as is the Belt of Orion, which, according to the beliefs of the ancient Egyptians, became the House of Eternity of Osiris. According to ancient legends, in Osirion is the tomb of God Osiris, who ruled more than 10 thousand years ago.
There are many facts indicating that Osirion was subjected to destructive long-term exposure to water, erosion, which could occur during the “wet” period. egyptian historydating to the end of the last Ice Age - about 11 thousand years BC.
Chichen Itza (Mexico)
Chichen Itza is the most famous Mayan center in the Mexican part of Yucatan. There is still no answer to the many secrets and mysteries that are witnesses to the Mayan and Toltec epochs in Chichen Itza: the Kukulkan Pyramid, the Great Ball Field, Karakol Observatory, Temple of the Warriors, Temple of the Jaguars, “Group of a Thousand Columns”.
Who reported Mayan astronomical knowledge about Uranus, Neptune and Pluto? What is the meaning of the Mayan calendars with millennia ahead? Scientists believe that the principle of the calendar was based on the Kukulkan pyramid, and the pyramid had astronomical significance.
Researchers hypothesize the founding of Chichen Itza by representatives of a highly developed civilization in the period before the Flood, which dates from the Leo era.
Palenque (Mexico)
Researchers have expressed different versions of the origin of Palenque. The complex was abandoned long ago, traces of its inhabitants disappeared, and no reliable information was left about the ancient ruins of the local population. According to one of Palenque's hypotheses - “ Great city Serpent ”was built in ancient times by the people who came from the Atlantic under the leadership of a leader named Wotan.
The scientist, traveler Andrei Sklyarov ("Ancient Mexico without crooked mirrors") believed that the large blocks of some Palenque structures preserved traces of processing with advanced technologies, many times surpassing the capabilities of all Mesoamerica civilizations known to historians.
The ancient founders of Palenque applied technologies that are found on other continents. Some elements of processing blocks and the so-called polygonal masonry of the Palenque Palace show similarities with the ancient structures of the Egyptian Osirion.
THEOTHYUACAN (MEXICO)
Teotihuacan, like pyramids of Egypt, is an amazing example of geometric, mathematical and astronomical mysticism. The construction of Teotihuacan took place along the Road of the Dead. The main buildings: the pyramid of the Sun, the pyramid of the Moon and the pyramid of Quetzalcoatl.
The perimeter of the base of the pyramid of the Sun is 895 meters, its original height was about 71 meters. The ratio of the perimeter of the base of the pyramid of the Sun to its height is 4 "pi", which means that the ancient builders of the pyramid knew the number of "pi" ?!
According to legend, after the Great Flood, the Gods returned to Teotihuacan to "re-create the world." As an advocate of an alternative history wrote Andrei Sklyarov (“Ancient Mexico without crooked mirrors”), this hypothesis is confirmed by the orientation of the Teotihuacan complex not strictly to the north pole, but to a direction deviating from the north by 15.5 degrees east, which can be explained by a change in the position of the poles after the Flood.
Machu Picchu (PERU)
Until now, researchers have not received answers to questions: what is the true age of Machu Picchu, who built it, why and for what purpose it was built on an inaccessible cliff, and why was it abandoned?
Machu Picchu erected on top mountain range, at an altitude of 2450 meters above sea level, to build in such an inaccessible place required incredible skill. During the construction of Machu Picchu terraces, giant blocks were used, some weighing up to 200 tons. The size and shape of the blocks of the “Main Temple” and “Temple of Three Windows” show that the masonry of the walls was created by a technologically advanced civilization. The temples were built according to the earthquake-resistant technology of megalithic polygonal masonry. Among the blocks there are massive shabby polyhedra with sharp edges.
Perhaps these structures existed thousands of years before the advent of the Inca empire? Perhaps the Incas erected Machu Picchu on the wreckage of much more ancient structures of megalithic culture? An American writer, a popularizer of the theory of the alien origin of man, Zacharia Sitchin in the book “Armagedon is put aside” hypothesizes that the stone structures and megalithic walls of Machu Picchu were creations of representatives of prehistoric civilization.
GEOGLIFES OF NASKA (PERU)
One of the mysteries of the past of mankind - huge and bizarre drawings - geoglyphs of the Nazca desert plateau. Their purpose is unknown to anyone, as well as their age. The local people say that these images are not the work of people, but of the demigods - the viracocha, who left their marks in the Andes many thousands of years ago.
Almost all of the drawings are made on a cyclopean scale, the lines sometimes stretch to the horizon, they intersect and overlap each other, uniting into mysterious schemes that make the Nazca desert look like a giant drawing board.
According to the results of many expeditions to Peru, a number of scientists came to the conclusion that the Nazca plateau is part of a frozen mudflow with pronounced "tongues" descending between the surrounding mountains, which formed during the return of waters by the powerful tsunami that hit South America during the Great Flood .
OLYANTAYTAMBO (PERU)
Ollantaytambo is located at an altitude of 2800 meters above sea level. The powerful walls of the fortress are assembled from stone blocks that reach tens of tons in weight, the blocks are fitted to each other with amazing accuracy, although they have joints of not a rectangular shape, but of very different shapes. Stone monoliths, the so-called platform of the Temple of the Sun reach more than 4 meters in height, their weight is hundreds of tons, they are placed on the very top of a steep row of artificial terraces.
As Andrei Sklyarov wrote (“Peru and Bolivia long before the Incas”), “in order to deliver tens of tons of blocks to Ollantaytambo, they had to be lowered down a very steep slope of about 800 meters, then transported across a stormy mountain river, dragged upstream river for about 8 km, then lift along a steep slope to the construction site. The ability of Indians to manually move such huge blocks over such rough terrain raises great doubts. ”
The nature of the destruction of Ollantaytambo indicates that the complex was destroyed as a result of the catastrophic events of the Flood, which for South America associated with the powerful tsunami that came from the side Pacific.
SAKSAYUAMAN (PERU)
Sacsayhuaman is located at an altitude of 3650 meters above sea level. Its “calling card" is three tiers of zigzag walls with a length of more than 350 meters and a total height of more than 15 meters.
The unique design is built of huge blocks that were delivered here over rugged mountainous terrain from quarries distant at a distance of several tens of kilometers. The weight of the largest block, reaching more than 8 meters in height - about 350 tons. Blocks of andesite - a very hard material, form a polygonal masonry with the stones fit to each other without any solution.
In the chronicles of the Peruvian historian Garcilaso de La Vega, the authors of the construction are not called, he only retells in his own words local legends: “... these three walls were built as if by magic, created by demons, and not by people - there are so many stones in them, and so they are huge ... It is impossible to believe that these stones were cut in stone quarries, since the Indians had neither iron nor steel tools to extract and trim them ”
TIAUANACO (BOLIVIA)
The Spanish historian, geographer, Catholic missionary José de Acosta, in the essay “The Natural and Moral History of the Indies”, tells how the Indians tell about their origin: “They mention a lot of the flood that happened in their country ... Indians say that all people drowned in this flood. But Viracocha came out of Lake Titicaca, who first settled in Tiauanaco, where to this day you can see the ruins of ancient and very strange buildings, and from there he moved to Cuzco, which began the multiplication of the human race ... ”
Ancient legends say: “For some sin, people who lived in ancient times were destroyed by the Creator ... in the Flood. After the Flood, the Creator appeared in human form from Lake Titicaca. Then he created the sun, moon and stars. After that, he revived humanity on earth ... "
Based on excavation materials, ancient settlement - 14 thousand years. The Bolivian scientist Arthur Poznansky, after conducting astronomical calculations, determined the dating of Tiahuanaco - 15,000 years BC.
YONAGUNI (JAPAN)
According to scientists, the pyramid and the temple complex, resting on the seabed near Yonaguni Island, towered above the surface of the water at least 10 thousand years ago, when the water level in the world ocean was 40 meters lower than the current one.
The Japanese stepped pyramid is similar to the Djoser pyramid in Egypt. The blocks are trimmed and neatly laid in five steps in a ziggurat. The side of the base of the pyramid is 180 meters, height - 30 meters.
Geology professors Masaaki Kimura and Robert Shokh, who studied the underwater complex, believe that the mysterious five-step structure was artificially created more than 10 thousand years ago, when the bottom in the area of \u200b\u200bthe island was land, that is, at the end of the last ice age. Who was engaged in such grandiose architecture is unknown.
BAALBEK (LEBANON)
Baalbek’s constructions are larger than the Cheops pyramid, the largest granite blocks of which are the ceiling of the Tsar’s chamber, weighing 50 - 80 tons. Colossal megalithic blocks called trilithons, 21 meters long, 5 meters high, 4 meters wide, weigh 800 tons each!
Moreover, these monoliths lie at an eight-meter height. Traces of machining planes are visible on the blocks. Despite their grandiose dimensions, the blocks are so neatly folded and so precisely connected to each other that it is almost impossible to stick even a razor blade between them. According to an ancient legend, these blocks lay here forever and have long been considered sacred.
Two kilometers from the Baalbek terrace, in the nearest quarry there is the so-called "South Stone", which is considered the largest processed stone in the world - 23 meters long, 5.3 meters wide and 4.55 meters high, its weight exceeds 1000 tons The block pierced the ground with one end 30 degrees, which suggests that it was raised to a great height.
WHO CAN BUILD ALL THESE GIANT STRUCTURES, HOW AND FOR WHAT?
For thousands of years, these questions have excited the imagination of man. Academic science does not give an answer to these questions. Legends and myths tell different stories about the origin and purpose of ancient structures.
Many scholars and esotericists believe that " stone monuments"Of our planet are the works of Lemurians and Atlanteans and are built so that it was impossible to" pull "and" lose "them.
American researcher James Churchward put forward the theory that the inhabitants of the Mu continent, which disappeared 25 thousand years ago, used technologies far superior to modern ones, including anti-gravity, which allowed them to move huge objects and build colossal buildings.
Legends have been preserved that in ancient times people possessed unique technologies: “softening stones” and raising and transferring stones using acoustics, sound. Perhaps the ancient people owned the torsion theory and used it to create stone processing technologies and build giant antiquities?
Undoubtedly, stone structures in different parts The earth was created by an unknown high-tech, possibly extraterrestrial civilization.
Scientist, esoteric Drunvalo Melchizedek in the book " Ancient secret Flower of Life ”writes that“ upon the transition of our planet and humanity from the third to the fourth dimension, all synthetic materials will return to a state of a chaotic set of elements from which they were created. This can explain the fact that a highly developed extraterrestrial civilization created structures using very durable natural materials that would have survived tens of thousands of years. The artificial materials created by our ancestors did not go through the last interdimensional transition 13 thousand years ago. ”
According to some scientists, giant megalithic structures on Earth were built by planetary civilization. Japanese physicist Michio Kaku in his book “Parallel Worlds” writes about the technologies of civilizations that are thousands and millions of years away from us.
Scanning the sky for signs of intelligent life, physicists are looking for objects with energy production corresponding to civilizations of type I, II and III. Type I civilization is a civilization that uses planetary forms of energy.
Why do not we observe alien civilizations in space? Perhaps they are so developed that they are not interested in our primitive society of type 0.7? Maybe they lived in that period of time when they sought to achieve the status of type I civilization?
And how will humanity make the transition to type I civilization? Perhaps the development of “space elevators” based on the latest advances in nanotechnology will bring humanity closer to space travel and help unravel the secrets of ancient civilizations that left traces on our planet thousands of years ago?
In early July, an unusual natural phenomenon occurred in the deep taiga. Forty kilometers from the city of Vyazemsky, near the Podkhorenok river, several hectares of forest were tumbled down in the taiga, as if someone had walked a huge club on the ground, breaking, twisting centuries-old trees.
Until now, the village of Sheremetyevo was of interest to historians only as one of the places of cultural monuments of the Neolithic era - the New Stone Age, ”says Mikhail Efimenko. - Here on the rocks found drawings of primitive people - petroglyphs: funny horses and scenes from the hunting life. But what I saw struck me. Stones from another world, from another culture, from another time, from another civilization ...
There are many finds, but few explanations. To understand their nature, the scientist spent a week in the library and reread books on the culture of the Ancient World: Egypt, Greece, Rome. I compared photographs of hewn stones of different lengths, widths and colors that are scattered throughout the taiga. The profession helped, Efimenko - an architect with thirty years of experience.
Look at the incredibly large ovals I found in the forest, ”continues Mikhail Vasilievich. - They are the height of a person. And what do they remind? It seems like there is a small mouth, you can even see the nose, eyes, chin, which does not allow the stone head to roll over. But it’s not human heads ... So they cut a stone in Egypt in the eighth century BC. An oval is nothing but a stone “Aries head” in the first stage of processing. A Khabarovsk scientist saw a similar head in the temple of Amon in the city of Karnak, there is even an alley of stone heads. Amon in ancient Egyptian mythology deified the sun and was depicted as a ram. There was such a cult when a sheep was sacrificed.
Pay attention to the stone drawing, says the scientist. - The frame is knocked out. This is a Greek stone processing technique. Traces of stonecutters left on the stone date from about the sixteenth century AD. In the Far East, such masters appeared no earlier than the twentieth century, and even then they could not so “delineate” the stone. Even when a bridge was built across the Amur, the stonecutters were invited from Europe.
According to Efimenko, stone-framed stone processing was used in the construction of the Parthenon temple in Athens in 438 BC. It was built on the initiative of Pericles, and the architects were Iktin and Kallikrath. Today, only ruins remained from the temple ... But where? Here, a hundred miles away, not a single stone building, around wooden houses ...
I still can’t say how these stones got to us, ”says our guest. - Most likely, there were masters who knew the secrets of processing. But I can clarify that these stones never fit into the walls, they were not built by buildings. There is no solution on them. They are as if prepared for construction. Everything is started and instantly abandoned.
In some stone blocks, Efimenko noticed through holes. They were as if from a puncture of unprecedented power of weapons. The holes on the outside were melted, and the glassy crust indicated that these were traces of exposure to enormous temperature.
Efimenko’s expedition even managed to find a quarry on the banks of the Ussuri River, where “Parthenon stones” were mined. They were broken with the help of incisions - small squares along the edges, as if chopping a block like coconut, first into shapeless pieces, and then, squeezing the edges, they received the necessary geometry. Holes in the form of bells were found in the stones, characteristic of Hellenistic times. They served either to transport cargo, or were ordinary drain holes - drainage, when they were collected in buildings. Exactly the same "bells" in stone blocks were found by archaeologists at the excavations of Pompeii, ancient city on the coast of the Gulf of Naples, who died in 1979 AD during the eruption of Vesuvius.
Near the quarry, Mikhail Efimenko also discovered the entrance to the labyrinth, in the underground city. This entrance is gentle and resembles a large funnel in the ground. Locals heaped up the entrance with stones so that the village boys did not go underground, because it is not known where these ancient catacombs can lead. They say they are so long that they can stretch to China, and even to Tibet ... How to believe this?
Meanwhile, in the history of Amur Region the Middle Ages are the most mysterious and unexplored historical period. A white spot in history, because it is believed that at that time those tribes that lived along the Amur River disappeared, fell into decay. Even the powerful states of Bohai and Chjurzheni, which existed on the expanses of the Amur Region from the 7th to the 12th centuries and were rather advanced by the military feudal powers, were defeated. As recorded in all textbooks, "the peoples of the Far East lost their statehood and were at the stage of the patriarchal system ...". What happened then? Maybe a natural disaster? There is no answer to this question.
Of course, the tornado, which swept a few weeks ago in the taiga in the Vyazemsky district, could not move the stones from one side of the world to the other; most likely, he laid bare the finds that the land had hidden for many years.
According to Mikhail Efimenko, archaeologists are waiting most interesting finds, whose secret is still kept by the taiga in the Khabarovsk Territory, and they will not be comparable with the pyramids in Egypt and the excavations of Troy. There was at least some idea of \u200b\u200bthose cities and civilizations, epic images and ancient narratives, books, and about the civilization "Aries", the city of Tartaria ( the underworld) we don’t know anything yet. The story is just beginning.
Materials
Petrified traces are found on our planet quite rarely, and therefore are of particular interest to archaeologists. Indeed, ancient fossils can reveal secrets about the ancestors of people, and about what happened on our planet in the prehistoric period.
This review contains an incredible dozen fossils that will be interesting even to people far from scientific research.
1. Laetol tracks
In 1976, anthropologist Mary Leakey discovered in Laetoli, Tanzania the oldest human footprints in the world. They were extruded in a layer of volcanic ash with an age of 3.6 million years. Scientists attribute these footprints to Australopithecus afar, an ancient hominid, whose remains were found in the same layer of sediment. The subsequent eruption of the volcano buried beneath itself and preserved these imprints for centuries. Initially, scientists considered that the footprints belong to two people (more precisely, their ancestors), but now it is believed that they belong to four different Australopithecus.
These footprints are the earliest example of Homo erectus, which was a real leap in evolution. The legs of Australopithecus afar were more like the legs of modern people than monkeys. However, the average length of their stride was significantly shorter (long lower limbs developed only in Homo erectus).
2. Traces of the devil
On the western slope of the Roccamonfin volcano in southern Italy, one can find the “Devil's Footprints” - ancient footprints in a frozen volcanic stream about 385,000 - 325,000 years old. These traces were left by humanoids descending from a volcano along a steep slope, and even rare handprints were preserved where they rested on a slope for balance. No one knows who made them, but scientists suspect that the most “likely candidate” is Homo erectus or Heidelberg man.
3. Traces of Eve
Traces that were found in 1997 on a deserted stretch of west coast South Africanare the oldest known petrified traces of Homo sapiens. They date back to the age of 117,000 years and are called "traces of Eve." Interestingly, they are almost no different from the footprints of a modern person, except that the hominid that left them was about 140 centimeters tall (moreover, it is believed that this was an adult).
4. Footprints in Hapisberg
In 2014, thanks to a storm on the English beach, the oldest human footprints outside Africa were exposed. The prints are 850,000 years old, that is, they are half a million years older than the most ancient people (as scientists previously assumed) who began to populate Europe. Experts believe that they were made by some of the predecessors of people. At that time, England was connected with continental Europe by the land isthmus, and the climate in it was similar to modern Scandinavian.
This raises questions about when clothing, shelter, and fire were actually invented. Also, these prints change the whole picture of how humanity migrated from Africa. Experts now believe that hominids may have colonized Britain as many as ten separate times.
5. Hunters of Turkana
In 2009, researchers discovered human footprints near Kenyan Lake Turkana, which date back 1.5 million years. The footprints were too old to belong to modern people, so the researchers felt that they belong to Homo erectus, which are considered the first hominids with long legs and with short hands - that is, adapted for vertical walking.
The presence of fingerprints of several males nearby indicates that these hominids were engaged in joint work, presumably hunting. Researchers examined other animal tracks in the area and determined that there were previously meadows near the lake. Herbivores usually moved in a straight line from grass to water, while people like predators lived along the coast. It is likely that they were more carnivorous than modern humans.
6. Footprints on Calvert Island
Footprints on Calvert Island in British Columbia may be the oldest human footprints in North America. Their age is 13,200 years, and they belonged to three individuals, which, according to scientists, were a family. Examination of prints is extremely difficult because they are in the tidal zone. More research is needed to confirm the authenticity of their age, since neighboring breeds date back only 2000 years.
However, a previous radiocarbon analysis showed that the traces were 13 thousand years old, and this is evidence that North America was first populated along the Pacific coast. Previously, experts believed that people settled south through an ice-free corridor east of the Rocky Mountains.
7. Footprints of Hohokam
In 2015, a construction team unearthed fossilized ancient footprints near Tucson in the United States. Their age is 2500 - 3500 years and they belong to people from the settlement of Hohokam culture (which is considered a transition between hunter-gatherers and agriculture). Fingerprints belong to men, women, children and dogs. They were deeply pressed into the soft earth of the irrigated field, which was subsequently flooded.
There is debate over whether irrigation in agriculture is Hohokam’s own invention or whether this technique first appeared in Mesoamerica. Some even believe that this settlement is migrants from Mexico. Others disagree with this theory, indicating that there is no evidence of the existence of ancient irrigated agriculture in Mesoamerica.
8. Imprints near the mountain of God
In the shadow of the Tanzanian volcano, which the Masai call "Mountain of God," the researchers found 400 ancient petrified traces that date back to 19,000 years. Some of the footprints show that people ran jogging, other people who left these marks had broken fingers, and still others belong to mothers with children. Researchers initially thought that the traces were made in ash that fell from the sky after a volcanic eruption. This would mean that the prints are 120,000 years old, but later their age was revised.
9. Stone Age Fishermen
The 5,000-year-old footprints of two people on Lolland Island in Denmark show how ancient people migrated along the sea and faced its destructive power. The prints show the life of two stone age fishermen who set fish traps on a shallow. Traces also indicate that fishermen were forced to enter the icy water of the Baltic Sea in an attempt to save their traps from flooding (while imprints were made, the level of the Baltic Sea rose sharply due to the melting of the glaciers of Northern Europe).
10. Footprints near Lake Willandra
In 2003, local Aborigines found the oldest known tracks in Australia. Found among the dunes of the edge of the dried lakes of Willandra, prints date back to 20,000 years. They are the largest collection of human traces of the Pleistocene era in the world (almost 700 traces were found, 400 of which are grouped in 23 chains). The smallest details are preserved: the dirt that seeped between the toes, the hole from the spear, on which the man rested, and the squiggles that could be drawn by the child.
