Orthodox science offers us a too flat theory about how human civilization developed. Say, scientific and technological progress was progressive - from stone tools to modern genetic engineering and digital developments. But what if our distant ancestors explored space long before Gagarin's flight? Indeed, indirect evidence points to this. In this article, we will describe some of the most impressive mysteries and mysteries of ancient civilizations. Sometimes these artifacts are hidden underground or in a layer of volcanic ash. But it also happens that the traces of ancient civilizations are before our eyes, but we still cannot unravel their purpose and meaning. A prime example is Stonehenge. What guided our ancestors when they erected huge boulders of several tons each in a certain order? Did a race of giants exist on the planet? And how did humanity come about? Unconventional answers you will learn from our article.

Classification of the mysteries of ancient civilizations

Ancient people, as if on purpose, did everything so that their distant descendants had something to puzzle over. Then they lived where living conditions are almost impossible - for example, in Antarctica. They erected gigantic structures, the meaning and purpose of which are still a mystery. The secret is also shrouded in how ancient people could deliver stone blocks. Only in recent years has the secret of producing Roman concrete been revealed, which surpasses modern building material in strength. Often our ancestors left encrypted messages. Some of them were solved, others were not. It also remains a mystery why some cities remained abandoned for no apparent reason. And the countries of Lemuria and Atlantis disappeared from the face of the earth, but remained in historical documents. Did they ever exist, or are they still waiting in the wings under a layer of earth or in the depths of the sea, like the legendary Troy? Scientists are haunted by some results of archaeological excavations that do not fit into the modern scientific paradigm. for example, the skeletons of giant people.

A series of books "Mysteries of ancient civilizations"

People are constantly attracted to unsolved mysteries. What to do, it's in human nature. That is why the mysteries of history and archeology are of interest not only to scientists of this narrow profession, but also to the widest circle of people. These unsolved mysteries have long gone beyond the scientific world. To satisfy the interest of the public, a series of books were published summarizing all the mysteries of ancient civilizations. Some of these opuses are more science fiction or esoteric. But there are also invaluable works among them.

I would like to draw the attention of the Russian-speaking reader to the book "Mysteries of Ancient Civilizations", published in two volumes by the Eksmo publishing house. Also interesting is the series of the same name from Veche. In the books of this publishing house, among other things, the secrets of Ancient Russia are also touched upon.

Secrets of history and archeology in cinema

Of course, in our age of the mystery of the sudden disappearance of civilizations, strange artifacts found and inexplicable buildings of antiquity are actively played out in the cinema. Many exciting films have been made on this topic. And some of them, alas, have nothing to do with real history. But there are also quite solid documentaries. We can recommend watching the series filmed in the USA with Brit Eaton. This documentary film is called "Mysteries of Ancient Civilizations". He tries to answer questions about many mysterious events of the distant past.

The documentary film Ancient Alients, presented by the History TV channel, considers the possibility of paleocontact in various aspects and comprehensively. After all, somehow it is necessary to explain the giant structures of the ancients, the furrows in the fields, similar to intricate drawings or runways, figurines of people in spacesuits, rock art, which depicts aerodynamic devices in detail, and much more.

What is "forbidden archeology"

Over the past hundred years, many artifacts have been raised to the surface of the earth, which cause at least bewilderment. And some of them, like, for example, the imprint of a human brush in limestone, which is 110 million years old, or iron nails that fell out of a piece of coal, refute the teachings of orthodox science about the date of the appearance of the species Homo sapiens. Such findings are hushed up, at least until such time as scientists can not give them a clear explanation. Some artifacts belong to the mysteries of ancient civilizations. Forbidden archeology hides from the public strange metal spheres engraved in the form of three parallel grooves encircling the entire ball. These small artifacts, which were found by South African miners in the layers of the Precambrian, are 2.8 billion years old! Strange stone balls of different diameters - from giant spheres to the size of a tennis ball - were found in the 30s of the last century in Costa Rica. Does not fit into the scientific picture of the world and a piece of metal pipe, made, according to approximate estimates, 65 million years ago.

Was there a paleocontact

Numerous "gadgets", such as a battery from Baghdad, made two thousand years ago, or a spark plug from the mountains of California 500 centuries old, as well as objects from the Tibetan village of Bayan-Kara-Ula, resembling vinyl records with an encrypted message, suggest that the culprits of some of the mysteries of history are aliens. And ancient civilizations would not amaze us today with large-scale buildings and high-tech artifacts, if not for paleocontact with aliens. Do we see the imprint of a human palm in the layers of the Cambrian period? Burials of giant people more than two meters tall baffle archaeologists. By the way, not far from the Tibetan village, where stone discs with encrypted messages were found, a cemetery was also discovered. The tallest skeleton in it is only 130 centimeters tall. The disproportionately large heads of the dead of this necropolis suggest that they belong to some other race.

Lost metropolises

Not only small objects and bones represent the mysteries of history and archeology. Ancient civilizations left behind a much more monumental trace. For example, abandoned cities. And the age of some of them dates back to the period when, according to scientists, a person was supposed to walk in skins and get his own food by hunting and gathering. A prime example is Cahokia. According to the ideas of Europeans, Indians lived on the territory of North America, who were at the tribal stage of development. But the pre-Columbian metropolis of Cahokia shatters that claim. The city had forty thousand people. This is more than the European capitals of that time. There were temples in the city, and the objects found in the excavations suggest that the inhabitants actively traded with tribes and peoples across the continent. But around the thirteenth century, the city was suddenly abandoned. What was the reason for this? Nobody knows.

City search

Chronicles have left us riddles about ancient civilizations. Historical documents mention such countries as Atlantis and Lemuria, the cities of Troy and Acre. But where are they? Guided by indirect data and their own intuition, scientists managed to find the legendary Troy, sung by Homer, as well as Machu Picchu, lost in the mountains of Peru. And recently Acre was discovered. For the past fifty years, the foundations of this walled city have rested peacefully under... Jerusalem's parking lot. It is known that Acre was ordered to build Antiochus Epiphanes, who ruled in the second century BC. This Syrian king forcibly hellenized the population. He ordered the Jerusalem temple to be turned into a sanctuary for Zeus, which caused a revolt among the Jews.

Mystery of Atlantis

Yes, there are cities! Entire vanished countries are today the mysteries of ancient civilizations for historians. Despite the found detailed map of the island country, compiled by contemporaries, on Plato's description of the capital of Atlantis, they are still looking for it. The annals indicate that it was located behind the Pillars of Hercules. What does this phrase mean? Is this geographical feature the Strait of Gibraltar that separates the Mediterranean Sea from the Atlantic Ocean? Where to look for a mysterious country? Some scientists are inclined to think that Atlantis was one of the islands of the Canary archipelago. Others believe that the island went under water as a result of a natural disaster (volcanic eruption and associated tsunami) in the Mediterranean Sea. But the fact is that Atlantis was a country with a high level of development of culture and science.

Encrypted letters

Modern science imposes the opinion that ancient people first encoded information in drawings, then stylized them in the form of hieroglyphs. The alphabetic alphabet is supposedly the highest development of writing. But the found artifacts refute this assertion. Some inscriptions still remain mysteries of ancient civilizations. They can be decoded only if they are duplicated in other languages ​​that are understandable to scientists. A prime example is the Rosetta Stone.

On the basalt slab, the order of the Memphis priests was embossed in hieroglyphs, Demotic and ancient Greek letters. Thanks to the last language known to linguists, the language of the Egyptians was deciphered. Recently, the secret of jotunvellur, the Scandinavian code, was revealed. It turns out that the Vikings knew writing, actively exchanged messages on tablets and made maps.

Hittites

The question of how they arose also belongs to the mysteries of the most ancient civilizations. Orthodox science speaks of the progressive development of technology. But the civilization of the Hittites completely contradicts this. It seemed to come from nowhere - along with the ternary counting system, writing, arithmetic, a complex luni-solar calendar, brewing and other signs of a developed culture. At a time when in other parts of the earth human tribes still hunted with the help of spears with stone tips, the Hittites erected the city-states of Ur, Eridu, Ushma, Kisi, Uruk, Lagash.

Six thousand years BC, this mysterious people knew the wheel, bronze, burned bricks. Moreover, deeper cultural layers do not indicate the progressive development of this culture. The Hittites came from somewhere and disappeared somewhere - and this is another mystery of the history of ancient civilizations.

Megalithic structures

Apparently, ancient people liked to carry heavy blocks over long distances. There are numerous testimonies of this scattered all over the world - from Japan to Western Europe. The clearest evidence of a megalithic civilization is Stonehenge, which is located on the Salisbury Plain in the UK. More recently, it turned out that the stone blocks, arranged around in a certain order, are not the only monument of that era. Stonehenge is the visible part of a whole complex of similar structures. What was it: a pagan temple or an ancient astronomical observatory?

Scientists have yet to find out. The origin of the stone idols of Easter Island remains unsolved. And dolmens in different parts of the world? What about megaliths in Siberia? How many mysteries have the ancients left us? And which of them can be solved?

Some ufologists suggest that more than one civilization has already changed on Earth. And they disappeared because of a global cataclysm (nuclear war?). All sorts of archaeological evidence, soil samples, and simply fictional stories are given.

Well, if the latter can be ignored, soil samples are rather controversial evidence, then how to explain those mysterious finds that appear here and there? For example, in the process of searching for fragments of a meteorite, the expedition of the MAI-Kosmopoisk Center combed the fields in the south of the Kaluga region. And if it were not for the persistence of Dmitry Kurkov, who decided to examine an ordinary, it seemed, piece of stone, an event would not have happened that could turn our ideas about earthly and cosmic history upside down.

When the stone was lifted and cleaned of dirt, it turned out that on its chip it was clearly visible that somehow got inside ... a bolt (coil?) about a centimeter long. Who, I wonder, had to drag this detail deep into the forest, and throw it into the lake there? And then trample it into the rock… Although, since this thing was found in a stone, it means that it got there when this stone was still soft earth. And, after a thorough examination, it turned out that the age of this artifact is 300-320 million years!

A scrupulous chemical analysis showed: over the past time, the iron Fe atoms have diffused, that is, they have moved inside the stone to a depth of one and a half centimeters, and silicon atoms Si that have come from the stone have taken their place. As a result, an oval glandular "cocoon" was formed, and is now perfectly distinguishable. For paleontologists and lithologists, this phenomenon is the most common: they know that everything that is inside the stone for millions of years, sooner or later becomes stone.

But there is even more impressive evidence of the antiquity of the phenomenon: X-rays clearly showed that there are other "bolts" INSIDE the stone, now hidden from view.

The stone successively visited the paleontological, zoological, physical-technical, aviation-technological institutes, the Paleontological and Biological museums, laboratories and design bureaus, the Moscow Aviation Institute, Moscow State University, as well as several dozen more specialists in various fields of knowledge. Paleontologists have removed all questions regarding the age of the stone: it is really ancient, it is 300-320 million years old.

It has been established that the "bolt" got into the rock BEFORE ITS HARDENING and, therefore, its age is in no way less, if not more, than the age of the stone. The “bolt” could not hit the stone later (for example, as a result of an explosion, including a nuclear one), because the structure of the stone was not broken by it.

So, something more than 300 million years ago (long before the appearance of dinosaurs on Earth!) accidentally fell to the bottom of the ancient ocean and subsequently tightly soldered into the petrified sedimentary rock. Who, after all, “littered” with metal objects on the Earth of the Devonian or Carboniferous period of the Paleozoic era?

Another find was made in 1844 at the Kingud quarry in Milfield (northern Britain). It was a steel nail, about an inch (2.5 cm) embedded with a head in hard sandstone. The tip of the nail poked out into the layer of boulder clay, almost completely eaten away by rust. In 1851, the gold digger Hiram Witt found a rusty nail in a piece of gold-bearing quartz "the size of a man's fist"...

In the same year, in Dorchester (USA), among the fragments of stones chipped from the rock by an explosion, to the greatest amazement of the audience, the following were discovered: “2 fragments of a metal object, torn in half during the explosion. When connected, the pieces formed a bell-shaped vessel 4.5 inches (114 mm) high, 6.5 inches (165 mm) wide at the base and 2.5 inches (64 mm) at the top, and about 1/8 inch (3 mm) thick. ). The metal of the vessel looked like zinc or an alloy with a significant addition of silver. On the surface there were six images of a flower or bouquet, covered with pure silver, and around the lower part of the vessel there was a vine or wreath, also covered with silver. The carving and plating were excellently done by an unknown craftsman.

In 1968, in Utah (USA), William Meister discovered two clear prints of human feet in boots. Moreover, the left shoe stepped on a trilobite with its heel, the remains of which were petrified, along with the imprint. Trilobites - arthropods, similar to modern crustaceans, lived on our planet 400-500 million years ago ...

Unfortunately, the prospectors were illiterate people, interested only in golden sand. Therefore, not a single find of that time has been described in the way that a professional archaeologist or paleontologist would have done. And it cannot be considered a reliable scientific fact.

Ancient platinum jewelry found in Ecuador. Remember that the melting point of platinum is about + 1800 ° C, and then it will become clear to you - without the appropriate technology, Indian craftsmen simply could not create such an ornament.

In Iraq, during excavations, was found ... the oldest of all known galvanic cells, whose age is about 4 thousand years. Inside the ceramic vases are cylinders made of sheet copper, and inside them are iron rods. The edges of the copper cylinder are connected by an alloy of lead and tin, which has only now become widely known to modern electricians and radio engineers under the name "tretnik". The ancients used bitumen as an insulator. The electrolyte has now disappeared (dry and weathered), but when a solution of copper sulfate was poured into such vessels, the found battery immediately gave a current ... By the way, the first samples of galvanic coatings were found there, in Iraq. How could the ancients know about the methods of obtaining and using electricity? ..

An imprint of a boot protector in sandstone, found in the Gobi desert, whose age is estimated at 10 million years, as reported by the Soviet writer Alexander Petrovich Kazantsev. Or a similar imprint, but already in blocks of limestone, in the state of Nevada (USA) ... Porcelain high-voltage glass, overgrown with petrified mollusks ... In coal mines in Russia, the finds were no less strange: plastic columns, an iron meter cylinder with round inclusions of yellow metal …

Vasily Filatov from Orenburg made another interesting discovery. He decided to decorate the gazebo in the country and lay out a fireplace. I bought a block of marble and agreed with a stone-cutting workshop to cut it into tiles 20x20 cm. And already at home, looking at the finished product, I found in one of the tiles “cuts” of a nut and bolt about M12 (2) in size. A few centimeters from them was another artifact - a dent, it seems, left by some kind of cylinder (3).

In 1891, in the town of Morisonville (Illinois), Mrs. Kelp collected coal in the cellar. One piece was too big to fit in the bucket. The woman split it, and a chain fell into the light of God, both ends of which continued to be held in split pieces of coal. The chain was about 25 centimeters long. A local jeweler said that it is gold and weighs about 12 grams. Geologists estimate that the coal seams in the area were formed about 300 million years ago.

In Chernigov, in the cultural layer of the 19th century, a strange, unusually hard stone was discovered, the size of an adult's fist. It was possible to take a piece for analysis only by sawing it with a diamond saw. It turned out to be a unique alloy of titanium and tungsten carbides. At one time, the West expected to use similar materials to create stealth technology - aircraft invisible to radar, but they refused because of their low plasticity. It is believed that in nature it cannot exist. And they get it only industrially with incredibly high energy costs. The origin of the "Chernihiv artifact" is now a mystery. There are only versions.

Another example is ten years ago in Yakutia a pebble was found that turned out to be magnesium metal, now it is stored in our museum. This is an ideal material for the creation of aircraft equipment - with a low weight, it is extremely durable. Does not occur in nature. It is produced industrially.

And serious scientists puzzled over the Yakut find for a long time. Versions were put forward about the crash of an unknown aircraft. Then impurities were found in the composition of the artifact, proving its natural origin. But no one can imagine how this process went.

10 most mysterious ancient artifacts

The Bible says that God created Adam and Eve only a few thousand years ago, but from the point of view of science, this is nothing more than a fairy tale, because humanity has several million years of existence, and civilization has several thousand. But is it possible that mainstream science is as wrong as the Bible? The fact is that there are a significant number of archaeological finds that testify in favor of the fact that the history of life on Earth may not be the same as it is described in books on geology and anthropology. Take the following examples:

Corrugated Spheres

For decades, miners in South Africa have been digging up mysterious metal spheres. Their origin is unclear, they are about an inch in diameter, and some have three parallel grooves etched around the equator. The found spheres are divided into two types: one is made of a solid bluish metal with white streaks, the other is hollow and filled with a white spongy substance. But the most interesting thing is that the rock in which they are found was formed during the Cryptozoic, that is, 2.8 billion years ago! Who created them and why is unknown.

Drop Stones

In 1938, an archaeological expedition by Dr. Chi Pu Tei to the Bayan-Kara-Ula mountains in China made a stunning discovery in caves that retained the remnants of some ancient civilization. On the floor of the cave, buried under a layer of age-old dust, rested hundreds of stone discs. They were about nine inches in diameter, and in the center of each gaped a round hole from which an etched engraving spiraled out, making them look like ancient gramophone records, created about 10 - 12 thousand years ago. As for the spiral engraving, it is actually made up of tiny hieroglyphs that tell an incredible story about spaceships that came from a distant world and crashed in the mountains. The ships were driven by creatures who called themselves "dropa", and it seems that the remains of their descendants were found in the cave

Ica stones

In the 1930s, M.D. Javier Cabrera received a strange stone as a gift from a local farmer. Dr. Cabrera got so carried away that he collected over 1,100 of these andesite stones, dating back between 500 and 1,500 years and known as Ica stones. These stones are carved with engravings, mostly with sexual themes (common in this culture), some depict idols, others depict activities such as heart surgery and brain transplants. But the most amazing engravings depict dinosaurs - brontosaurs, triceratops, stegosaurs and pterosaurs. And although skeptics consider the Ica stones to be fake, their authenticity has still not been proven or disproved.

Antikythera mechanism

In 1900, sponge divers discovered a puzzling artifact near the Greek island of Antikythera, northwest of Crete. Divers have raised many marble and bronze statues from the remains of the sunken ship. Among the finds was a piece of rusty bronze, in which parts of some kind of mechanism consisting of different gears were visible. According to a surviving inscription, the device was made in 80 BC, and many experts first thought it was an astrolabe, a tool for astronomical calculations. But later, an X-ray examination of the mechanism revealed interesting details: the gear system turned out to be too sophisticated. Such technology was mastered only in 1575! Who created this amazing tool 2,000 years ago, and why the technology became lost, is unknown to this day.

Battery from Baghdad

Today, batteries can be bought at any kiosk, store, and even at the bazaar. Well, let me introduce you to a battery that is 2,000 years old. This find, known as the Baghdad Battery, was found in a Parthian settlement and is dated between 248 and 226 BC. The device consists of a 5.5-inch earthenware vessel containing an asphalt-reinforced copper cylinder with an oxidized iron rod inside. The experts who studied it came to the conclusion that the device needed only an acid or alkaline filling to produce an electric current. It is believed that this ancient battery could have been used in the electroplating of gold. If this is indeed the case, how did it happen that the technology became lost and the battery disappeared from the face of the earth for 1,800 years?

Artifact Koso

While mining in the mountains of California near Olancha in the winter of 1961, Wallace Lane, Virginia Maxey and Mike Mikesell found a rock that was at first mistaken for a geode. But when trying to split it, Mikesell found inside a white porcelain object, in the center of which was a shiny metal rod. Experts believe that if it was indeed a geode, the fossil would have taken 500,000 years to form, but at the same time, the object was clearly the work of man. As a result of further examination, it was found that the porcelain was in a hexagonal shell, and X-ray transmission showed that it contained a steel needle inside. The controversy surrounding this artifact still does not subside. Some argue that he was not in a geode, but in hardened clay. Experts have determined that the artifact is actually a spark plug from the 1920s. Unfortunately, Koso's artifact has disappeared and its further examination is impossible. But is there a rational explanation for its existence? Was it really found in a geode? And if so, how could a spark plug from the 1920s have been fossilized 500,000 years ago?

Ancient airplane model

There are artifacts belonging to the cultures of Ancient Egypt and Central America that look like modern aircraft. An Egyptian artifact discovered in the tomb of Sakquar in 1898 closely resembles a model airplane, it has a fuselage, wings and a tail. Experts believe that this six-inch aircraft has aerodynamic contours. As for the find in Central America, it is cast in gold and its approximate age is about 1,000 years. It is very similar in shape to the Space Shuttle. She even has something like a cockpit.

Giant stone balls from Costa Rica

While clearing the jungle in Costa Rica for a banana plantation in the 1930s, workers stumbled upon an incredible obstacle: several dozen stone balls lay in their way, most of which had a perfectly round shape. They varied in size: some were the size of a tennis ball, others stood 8 feet tall and weighed 16 tons. Despite the fact that no one other than man could create them, the purpose of the stones and, more interestingly, the technology for giving them a round shape, remain a mystery.

Incredible fossils

We all learned in school that fossils formed many thousands of years ago. At the same time, there are a number of fossils that neither geology nor history can explain. Take at least an imprint in the limestone of a human palm, numbering 110 million years. Something that looks like a fossilized human finger has been found in the Canadian Arctic, and also dates to the same period. And in Utah, they generally found a footprint, shod in a sandal, made from 300 to 600 million years ago.

Misplaced metal objects

People not only did not know how to process metal 65 million years ago, they did not exist at all then. How then does science explain the discovery in France of semi-oval metal pipes in Cretaceous deposits dating back 65 million years? In 1885, splitting a piece of coal, they found a metal cube, undoubtedly created by the hands of a rational being, and in 1912, power plant workers broke a lump of coal and an iron pot fell out of it! And in a block of sandstone from the Mesozoic, a nail was found, and there are many similar finds.

How to explain all this? Here are some options:

- Intelligent people appeared much, much earlier than we think.
- Other intelligent beings lived on Earth, having their own civilizations long before man.
“Our methods of determining age are fundamentally wrong, and those rocks, coal, and fossils formed much faster than we think.

In any case, these examples, and there are many more, should prompt any inquisitive and open-minded scientist to reconsider and rethink the true history of life on Earth.

This fact is not covered by the world media and is not discussed by the general public, but, nevertheless, it remains a fact: today humanity must choose which view of history it will adhere to, and in which direction, based on its choice, to move on.

At the moment, there is an official, devoid of riddles, somehow explaining some inconsistencies and occupied mainly by digging up potsherds and compiling catalogs, official history. She, now in full force, relying on evidence and questions that have no answer, is being pressed by an alternative history.

It should be noted that even 15 years ago, the followers of both directions worked together and could always agree, but this ended for two reasons. Firstly, the "alternatives" quarreled with Egyptologists, reasonably suggesting that the famous Sphinx is much older than even the oldest of the Egyptian pharaohs. And the second blow to the official science of history was the book by Chris Dunn "The Power Plant at Giza: Technologies of Ancient Egypt."

At this, at the end of the tenth years, the paths of official and alternative history diverged. There is no more even formal politeness, the challenge is thrown and accepted, the cold war has begun. Adherents of official history adopt politics and ideology. They no longer confine themselves to proclaiming the exceptional truth of the "correct" history, they began to conduct active anti-propaganda of any other views on the human past. This looks at least strange and makes one assume that such "scientists" are just angry watchmen, protecting the inviolability of generally accepted scientific dogmas.

1 secret. The Great Pyramid: Absolutely Precise Engineering
The last one among the seven wonders of the world, and the most wonderful of them. Despite the fact that every inch of it has been carefully examined, the official history provides very few exhaustive explanations. Who was the builder? For what purpose was it built? How did the illiterate and wild Egyptians manage to create a structure of 2.3 million stone blocks with a total mass of over four million tons, perfectly fitted to each other with the help of an unknown bonding solution and forming an engineering-perfect structure? This one last question in itself gives rise to a lot of new questions and there is not a single answer to it. In the twenty-first century, with all our building technologies, we are unlikely to be able to repeat this ancient structure. And how many more such inexplicable facts?

Virtually seamless pyramid surface. To level limestone to this extent, laser technology is needed. They are also needed in order to accurately calculate the base of the pyramid up to a centimeter, as it was calculated.

An ideally straight descent-tunnel, a hundred meters long, cut into the rock at an even angle of 26 degrees. Moreover, torches were definitely not used during construction. How, without fire and special instruments, was the accuracy of the angle of inclination maintained? The error in the dimensions of the tunnel does not exceed a few millimeters.

The structure is aligned to the cardinal points with a minimum error. To do this, one had to have considerable knowledge in the field of astronomy.

A very complex but harmoniously built internal structure, turning the pyramid into a 48-story building, equipped with mysterious ventilation shafts, doors, in cutting through which, no doubt, diamond-tipped saws were used, obvious machine grinding of stone in various rooms of the Great Pyramid.

2 secret. Origin of the dog: genetic engineering
A mystery shrouded in darkness even older than Egyptian darkness is dogs. It would seem that there is nothing surprising in dogs, they are just domesticated descendants of wolves, foxes, coyotes and other canines. However, the origin of man's truest friends is not so obvious. More recently, geneticists have baffled that archaeologists, anthropologists, and zoologists have been wrong about dogs for generations. In particular, generally accepted beliefs that the dog was domesticated about 15 thousand years ago turned out to be erroneous. The first studies of canine DNA showed that all breeds of dogs were bred exclusively from wolves, and no later than forty thousand years ago, perhaps even earlier, up to 150,000 years BC.

Why is this fact so interesting? This question can be answered by asking another question: how did it happen that dogs suddenly emerged from the wolf? It should not be thought that this question is easy to answer. Or difficult. There is no answer to this question at all. Arguments that our ancestors from the Stone Age somehow made friends with the wolf (and it is not known how) and this wolf became a mutant wolf, the father of all dogs. Or a mother. Of course, everyone loves dogs and wants to believe that everything is so simple, but in reality it is not.

The question is, how did it happen that a wolf dad and a wolf mom got a completely different animal, a mutant that looks like a wolf, but in the character of which only those traits were left that were suitable for living together with a person and were comfortable and useful. It's unexplainable. And besides, it is incredible, because a random mutant simply would not survive in a pack subject to a strict hierarchy and certain rituals. There could be no natural evolution here. Any zoologist will confirm: if a person takes two wolves from the forest, a male and a female, then even for a long time without the intervention of genetic engineering, he will not be able to breed a dog.

3 secret. Mohenjo-daro: urban architecture
No most official history argues with the fact that mankind had to live "without conveniences" until the twentieth century. Before that, there was no smell of sewage in the cities. It turns out that not all. Residents of the South Asian city of Mohenjo-Daro, which existed from about 2600 to 1700. BC, enjoyed the benefits of their then civilization, and the benefits were almost as good as modern ones. Mohenjo-Daro is surprising, however, not so much for the presence of running water and public toilets, but for the urban structure itself, carefully thought out and perfectly executed. The city was obviously completely planned in advance and built on a special suspension system in two levels. The buildings of Mohenjo-Daro are made of burnt bricks of standard size. A clear system of streets, houses "with conveniences", granaries, baths - the city was equipped with everything necessary according to modern standards.

The mystery of Mohenjo-Daro and the main question for historians and archaeologists is: where are the cities that preceded this capital of the Indian civilization? Why did people not even know how to burn bricks, and suddenly rebuilt such a metropolis? But this question is not the only one, since the social structure in Mohenjo-Daro was also far ahead of all others.

The Indian civilization is one of three whose writing has not been deciphered. Their cities are the same age as the great Egyptian pyramids.

4 secret. Sumerians - the basis of all civilizations
Like Egypt and the Indus Valley, the "land of Abraham" - dry, barren, cut by a mighty river, could not be the ultimate dream for the nomadic tribes of the Stone Age. Until recently, historians did not believe in the Sumerians at all, considering them a biblical fiction, and even now no one can explain where they came from, why they chose such harsh places for justification, what language they spoke, from where they knew the basics of metallurgical production. The Sumerians knew how to build furnaces for bronze production, built cities, built ziggurats, cultivated the land and developed sciences, in particular, mathematics. Thanks to them, there are 60 minutes in an hour and 60 seconds in a minute. It was they who calculated that there are 360 ​​degrees in a circle. And all this while almost everywhere on earth humanity was still mooing, folding on its fingers and collecting edible roots.

5 secret. Teotihuacan - an incredible development of technology

Teotihuacan was the first real city in America, both north and south. During its heyday, at least 200 thousand people lived in it. Archaeologists pronounce this name with reverence, because it is, as it were, synonymous with archaeological and historical ignorance: almost nothing is known about this city. Where did the people who built the city come from, what language did they speak, how was their society organized. Here, at the top of the Pyramid of the Sun, archaeologists have found one of the most amazing artifacts on the planet: mica plates. Sounds unimpressive, but for those who are interested in science, the presence of huge mica plates embedded in the top of the pyramid is a significant phenomenon. Mica is not suitable as a building material, but it is an excellent shield against electromagnetic radiation and radio waves. For whatever purpose the ancient inhabitants of Teotihuacan used mica, its meaning was clearly not in the decor.

6 Mystery. Peru: High Tech in the Stone Age
Lake Titicaca, located in the Andes, on the border of Bolivia and Peru, is also not the most comfortable and fertile place on earth. Nevertheless, it is it that is full of mysterious megalithic structures, sometimes of an incomprehensible purpose. Skillfully carved stone sculptures weighing more than a hundred tons are fastened with bronze, both melted and with special bronze clamps. Archaeologists believe that bronze could not have been in Peru at all in those days, but it is, as well as indisputable evidence that highly productive agricultural zones were created at an altitude of 3800 meters with the help of dams, canals and dams. Needless to say, neither the origin nor the language of the mysterious civilization is known to historians.

Inconvenient facts confirming the existence of very advanced civilizations once on the planet have recently begun to appear especially often. The version about the perfection and uniqueness of the current human civilization was questioned earlier, however, now it does not stand up to criticism at all. The astonishing finds made by archaeologists, mainly in Peru and Egypt, suggest that we are not even half as far along in terms of our level of development as the creatures that lived on the planet more than five thousand years ago.

Of course, everyone has heard about Atlantis, however, this civilization was already the last of a number that existed before it. Today, on the basis of texts translated from the ancient Sanskrit language, it can be confidently asserted that the territory of modern India was originally the political and cultural center of the entire planet. The current territory of this country is just a miserable remnant of the once-existing huge mainland, which also included the current Hindustan. Mythical Lemuria, as the researchers called it, was inhabited by people who were three times, or even four times taller than the current ones.

They had excellent telepathic abilities, which was later transferred to the Atlanteans. Most importantly, they had at their disposal aircraft, the images of which were found on wall bas-reliefs in the pyramids of the Maya and the ancient Egyptian pharaohs. Scientists also found, as they believe, and images of pilots. Previously, they were considered ordinary representatives of ancient tribes with decorations characteristic of their culture, however, after carefully studying the images of accessories on the body, the researchers came to the conclusion that these are tubes through which oxygen is transported.

The inhabitants of Lemuria easily moved over the entire surface of the planet, thanks to their devices, and also made space flights to other planets. Even the references of the ancient Egyptians speak of gods or mentors descending from heaven through smoke and fire. Some researchers tend to believe that in fact, the Lemurians colonized the planet, having flown here from a distant galaxy, after a planetary catastrophe occurred there. It is possible that they were the inhabitants of the planet Phaeton, which existed earlier in the solar system. The planet collided with a large planetoid, from which it was torn apart, but most of the inhabitants managed to evacuate before the disaster.

The last version is the most probable, since the artificial appearance of mankind, a fact that has long been proven and who arrived on a lifeless planet, decided to stay here. They were primarily attracted by the rich deposits of minerals, including silicon and radioactive metals. Since by that time the Earth was inhabited mainly by giant lizards, its future owners had to make changes to the composition of the flora and fauna, as well as create a person based on their DNA. Researchers who adhere to this theory believe that the biblical “In the image and likeness” should not be taken literally. In this holy book, the description is somewhat exaggerated, but it is precisely genetic technologies that are meant. But about the flora and fauna, the opinions of researchers differ. Some believe that the Lemurians brought the genes of animals and plants from their planet, but there is also a version of the creation directly on the spot.

Many researchers doubt that the Lemurians, in the event of a disaster, transported all the biomaterial with them. Most likely, they possessed technologies that allow them to design living organisms, which explains such a variety of species. Gradually populating all the continents with people, the titular nation began to build a network of pyramids, both on the surface of the planet and under water, obviously these were some kind of energy stations, thanks to which aircraft could move freely to any of the continents. Many scientists believe that those buildings that are today under water, earlier, like everyone else, were on the surface, because since then, the relief of the planet has changed a lot. Subsequently, something happened that led to the disappearance of Lemuria, however, the knowledge of the first civilization did not disappear and passed to the Hyperboreans and Atlanteans, who founded a new country-continent.

Many believe that the cause of the disappearance of Atlantis, as well as other pra-civilizations, was a planetary catastrophe. Much more is associated with it, or rather, with the fall of an asteroid into the ocean, for example, the death of ancient lizards or the global flood, as a result of which the island state disappeared. Are there too many consequences tied to the same event? Researchers have asked this question more than once, especially since what is described in the ancient Indian treatises Ramayana and Mahabharata tells a completely different story. It speaks of a certain war of the gods, the main battle of which took place in the vicinity of modern Delhi. According to legend, two races came together in a duel - the humanoid and the reptilian. Judging by the descriptions, weapons were involved that exceeded in power even the most modern current developments in the field of weapons. According to some reports, the conflict occurred due to the fact that the descendants of reptiles, that is, reptilians, laid claim to the planet.

They proved their correctness by the fact that ancient lizards dominated the entire surface of the Earth - their ancestors, and, accordingly, people cannot have any rights to the planet. Fights took place all over the planet, and the final battle nevertheless showed the superiority of people over lizardmen, but it also could not have done without catastrophic consequences. A series of nuclear explosions led to the activation of the strongest volcanic activity, thereby causing the oscillation of tectonic plates. Powerful tsunamis with a wave height of several hundred meters swept the coastal zone tens of kilometers deep, but since Atlantis was an island state, water shafts passed through it several times, in addition, the resulting earthquake provoked a change in relief due to which the island began to sink rapidly to the bottom of the ocean.

The remains of either Atlantis or the reptilian settlements that had their colonies on Earth before the start of the conflict lie today near Bermuda. These are the foundations of powerful fortress walls in fairly good condition, they go deep and are lost in the perimeter of the so-called Bermuda Triangle. The local population is well aware of this dead city and calls it the city of dragons. There is a belief that dragons live at the bottom of the sea and will one day come to land to regain control of the planet.

The Atlanteans passed on all their knowledge, and in particular everything related to medicine, to the Egyptians, because only this can explain such unusual abilities to cure the most complex diseases. Knowledge of embalming corpses, and even dentistry, seems unthinkable for that time, but it is. Examining the mummies found in one of the pyramids, scientists found on the teeth, signs of drilling and filling. Among the many inscriptions and drawings on the walls of the Egyptian pyramids, we managed to find a mention and, most importantly, images of heavenly chariots, as the Egyptians called them. Interestingly, the description very closely matches the detailed instructions for the flying device described in the Mahabharata. As it turned out, in the days of ancient Egypt, these "chariots" were one of the simplest used by the army of the pharaoh and were used to patrol the valley of the pyramids from robbers. Who, then, flew on them and what was so valuable there, because it’s clear that the pharaohs were definitely not buried there?

Thanks to this evidence, the connection between the gods mentioned in ancient Indian treatises and the deities of ancient Egypt is well traced. Of course, the Valley of the Pyramids was guarded not by people from the retinue of the pharaoh, but by the Atlanteans or representatives of another prehistoric race who knew the principle of operation of a flying machine. The valley of the pyramids was guarded not so much from people as from a possible attack by reptilians trying to disable the power plants inside the pyramids. Although ordinary robbers could also get inside, because gold and copper were necessary for the operation of the installations. The researchers suggest that the entire surface of the pyramids was previously covered with a thin layer of gold, which contributed to the most powerful generation of the energy field necessary to maintain the aircraft in weight. Subsequently, for some reason, the gold plating disappeared over time, which is why the pyramids began to collapse, reaching their current state.

Today, scientists continue research in this direction, and although one can hear statements that there is nothing to look for in Egypt, in fact this is not so. Further deciphering of the wall inscriptions showed that in the same area there is some source of energy hidden underground, and if it is found, it will be possible to solve the riddle not only of aircraft, but also of many other things, which so far remains unattainable for us.
