Artifacts in coal. Artifacts in stone Ancient springs, screws and metal

According to the interpretation of some fundamentalists, the Bible says that God created Adam and Eve several thousand years ago. Science reports that this is just fiction, and that man is a few million years old, and civilizations are tens of thousands of years old. However, could it be that conventional science is as wrong as the biblical stories? There is ample archaeological evidence that the history of life on Earth may be very different from what we are told today by geological and anthropological texts.

Consider the following amazing finds:

Corrugated Spheres

For the past few decades, miners in South Africa have been digging up mysterious metal balls. These balls of unknown origin are about an inch in diameter, and some of them are engraved with three parallel lines running along the axis of the object. Two types of balls have been found: one consists of a hard bluish metal with white spots, while the other is emptied from the inside and filled with a white spongy substance. Interestingly, the stone in which they were found belongs to the Precambrian period and dates back 2.8 billion years! Who made these spheres and why remains a mystery.

Artifact Koso

While searching for minerals in the mountains of California near Olancha in the winter of 1961, Wallace Lane, Virginia Maxey, and Mike Mikesell found what they thought was a geode—a nice addition to their gem shop. However, after cutting the stone, Mikesell found an object inside that looked like white porcelain. At its center was a shaft of shiny metal. The experts concluded that if it was a geode, it would have taken approximately 500,000 years to form, but the object inside was clearly a piece of human production.

Further examination determined that the porcelain was surrounded by a hexagonal body, and X-rays revealed a tiny spring at one end, similar to a spark plug. As you might have guessed, this artifact is surrounded by some controversy. Some argue that the object was not inside the geode, but was covered in hardened clay.

The find itself was identified by experts as a spark plug from the 1920s. Unfortunately, Koso's artifact has been lost and cannot be thoroughly studied. Is there a natural explanation for this phenomenon? Was it found, as the discoverer claimed, inside the geode? If this is true, how could a 1920s-era spark plug get inside a stone that is 500,000 years old?

Strange metal objects

Sixty-five million years ago there were no humans, let alone anyone who could work with metal. In that case, how does science explain semi-oval metal pipes dug in France from Cretaceous chalk?

In 1885, when a piece of coal was broken, a metal cube was discovered, clearly processed by a craftsman. In 1912, power station workers broke a large piece of coal from which an iron pot fell out. A nail was found in a sandstone block from the Mesozoic era. There are many more such anomalies. How can these findings be explained? There are several options:

Intelligent people existed much earlier than we think
-In our history there is no data about other intelligent beings and civilizations that existed on our Earth
-Our dating methods are completely inaccurate, and these rocks, charcoal and fossils are forming much faster than we think today.

In any case, these examples - and there are many more - should prompt all curious and open-minded scientists to reexamine and rethink the history of life on Earth.

Footprint on granite

This fossil footprint was discovered in a seam of coal in Fisher Canyon, Nevada. According to estimates, the age of this coal is 15 million years!

And lest you think that this is a fossil of some animal, the shape of which resembles the sole of a modern boot, examination of the footprint under a microscope revealed clearly visible traces of a double seam line along the perimeter of the form. The footprint is about a size 13 and the right side of the heel appears to be more worn than the left.

How did the imprint of modern shoes 15 million years ago end up on a substance that later became coal? There are several options:

The trail was left recently and coal is not formed for millions of years (which science does not agree), or ...
-Fifteen million years ago there were people (or something like people about whom we have no historical data) walking around in shoes, or ...
-The time travelers traveled back in time and inadvertently left a trail, or...
-This is a well thought out prank.

ancient footprint

Today, such footprints can be seen on any beach or muddy ground. But this footprint - clearly anatomically similar to that of a modern human - is frozen in stone, which is estimated to be about 290 million years old.

The discovery was made in 1987 in New Mexico by paleontologist Jerry McDonald. He also found traces of birds and animals, but found it difficult to explain how this modern trace appeared on the Permian rock, which, according to experts, is 290-248 million years old. According to modern scientific thinking, it was formed long before humans (or even birds and dinosaurs) appeared on this planet.

A 1992 Smithsonian Magazine article on the find noted that paleontologists refer to such anomalies as "problematica". In fact, for scientists they are big problems.

This is the white crow theory: all you have to do to prove that not all ravens are black is just to find one white one.

In the same way, to challenge the history of modern man (or perhaps our way of estimating the age of rock strata), we need to find a fossil like this. However, scientists simply shelve those, call them “problematica,” and move on with their unyielding beliefs because reality is too uncomfortable.

Is this the right science?

Ancient springs, screws and metal

They are similar to the items that can be found in the scrap box in any workshop.

Obviously, these artifacts were made by someone. However, this set of springs, loops, spirals and other metal objects was found in layers of sedimentary rocks that are one hundred thousand years old! At that time, foundries were not very common.

Thousands of these things - some as small as a thousandth of an inch! – were discovered by gold miners in the Ural Mountains of Russia in the 1990s. Excavated from 3 to 40 feet deep in layers of earth dating back to the Upper Pleistocene period, these mysterious objects may have been created some 20,000 to 100,000 years ago.

Could they be proof of the existence of a long-lost but advanced civilization?

Metal rod in stone

How to explain the fact that the stone was formed around a mysterious metal rod?

Inside the hard black stone found by the stone collector Gillin Wang in China's Mazong Mountains, for unknown reasons, there was a metal rod of unknown origin.

The rod is threaded like a screw, indicating that the item was made, but the fact that it has been in the ground long enough for solid rock to form around it means that it must be millions of years old.

There were suggestions that the stone is a meteorite that fell to Earth from space, that is, the artifact may be of alien origin.

It is noteworthy that this is not the only case of finding metal screws in hard rocks; there are many other examples:

In the early 2000s, a strange stone was found on the outskirts of Moscow, inside of which were two objects similar to screws.
-X-ray of another stone found in Russia found eight screws in it!

Williams fork

A man named John Williams said he found the artifact while walking through the remote countryside. He was wearing shorts, and as he passed through the bushes, he looked down to see if he had scratched his legs. It was then that he noticed a strange stone.

The stone itself is ordinary - despite the fact that some manufactured thing is built into it. Whatever it is, it has three metal prongs sticking out of it, like it's some kind of fork.

The location where Williams found the artifact was, he said, “at least 25 feet from the nearest road (which was muddy and barely visible), no urban areas, industrial complexes, power plants, nuclear power plants, airports, or military operations (of which I would know).

The stone consists of natural quartz and feldspar granite, and according to geology, such stones are not formed over decades, which would be required if the anomalous object was made by modern man. According to Williams, the stone was about a hundred thousand years old.

Who in those days could make such an object?

Aluminum artifact from Aiud

This five-pound, eight-inch long piece of solid, nearly pure aluminum would have been found in Romania in 1974. Workers digging a trench along the Mures River found several mastodon bones and this mysterious object, which still baffles scientists.

Apparently manufactured and not naturally occurring, the artifact was sent for analysis, which found the item to be 89 percent aluminum with traces of copper, zinc, lead, cadmium, nickel, and other elements. In this form, aluminum does not exist in nature. It must have been manufactured, but such aluminum was not produced until the 1800s.

If the artifact is of the same age as the bones of the mastodon, this means that it is at least 11 thousand years old, because it was then that the last representatives of the mastodons died out. Analysis of the oxidized layer that covered the artifact determined that it is 300-400 years old - that is, it was created much earlier than the aluminum processing process was invented.

So who made this item? And what was it used for? There are those who immediately suggested the alien origin of the artifact ... however, the facts are still unknown.

It is strange (or maybe not) that the mysterious item was hidden somewhere and today it is not available for public viewing or further research.

Piri Reis Map

This map, rediscovered in a Turkish museum in 1929, is a mystery not only because of its amazing accuracy, but also because of what it depicts.

Drawn on the skin of a gazelle, the Piri Reis map is the only remaining part of the larger map. It was compiled in the 1500s, according to the inscription on the map itself, from other maps of the three hundredth year. But how is this possible if the map shows:

South America exactly located in relation to Africa
-West coasts of North Africa and Europe, and east coast of Brazil
Most striking is the partially visible continent far to the South, where we know Antarctica is, although it wasn't discovered until 1820. Even more mysterious is that it is depicted in detail and without ice, although this land mass has been covered with ice for at least six thousand years.

Today, this artifact is also not available for public viewing.

petrified hammer

Near the city of London, Texas, in 1936, the head and part of the hammer handle were found.

The discovery was made by Mr. and Mrs. Khan near Red Bay when they noticed a piece of wood sticking out of a stone. In 1947, their son smashed the stone, revealing the head of a hammer inside.

For archaeologists, this tool presents a difficult task: the calcareous rock in which the artifact is located is estimated to be 110-115 million years old. The wooden handle is petrified like ancient petrified wood, and the hammer head, made of solid iron, is of a comparatively modern type.

The only possible scientific explanation came from John Cole, a researcher at the National Center for Science Education:

In 1985, the scientist wrote:

“The stone is real, and for someone unfamiliar with the geological process, it looks impressive. How could a modern artifact get stuck in Ordovician stone? The answer is that the stone does not belong to the Ordovician period. Minerals in solution can solidify around an object that has fallen into the solution, fallen into a crevice, or simply left on the ground, if the source rock (in this case, reportedly Ordovician) is chemically soluble.

In other words, the dissolved parts of the rock solidified around the modern hammer, which may be a miner's hammer from the 1800s.

And what do you think? A modern hammer...or an ancient civilization's hammer?

MYSTERIES OF THE EARTH AND THE UNIVERSE

MYSTERIES DISCOVERED FROM THE DEPTHS

On July 11, 1891, the provincial American newspaper The Morrisonville Times published an article that read:

“Tuesday morning, Mrs. Su. Culp made public one amazing find. When she broke a piece of coal for kindling, she found in it a small gold chain 25 centimeters long, ancient and bizarre work. The piece of coal split almost in the middle, and since the chain was located in it in the form of a circle and its two ends were next to each other, when the piece split, its middle was freed, and the two ends remained fixed in the coal ... It is made of 8 -karat gold and weighed 192 grams.

Finding a gold chain is, of course, an event. But a gold chain found in a piece of coal is a sensation. Why? Yes, because coal was formed on Earth about 300 million years ago! That is, when, according to all scientific data, there was not only a reasonable person on the planet, but even ape-like hominids.

Who made this chain?

And not only her. In the book Forbidden Archeology, its authors Michel Cremo and Richard Thomson present facts that make, if not a fresh look at the history of mankind, then at least think...

In 1928, workers at a coal mine in Heveren, Oklahoma, at a depth of about 100 meters, while dismantling exploded coal, found ... several concrete blocks in it. These were regular cubes with a side of 30 centimeters. All six faces of the cubes were smoothly polished. Subsequent coal explosions uncovered fragments of a wall built from the same cubic blocks. The age of the coal seam in which the mysterious wall was located was more than 280 million years.

Similar walls, only made of slate, were discovered in 1868 by miners of a coal mine in Hammondville, Ohio. Several lines of hieroglyphic inscription could be clearly seen on the surface of the wall.

Coal mines and quarries are the places where mysterious objects are most often found. At the same time, the depth where they are found often exceeds one hundred meters, and the age of the layers in which objects come across reaches 600 million years! From the point of view of modern scientific ideas, these findings are inexplicable, And the evidence is multiplying and multiplying ...

In 1844, a metal nail stuck in a piece of sandstone was found in the Ningudi quarry (Scotland). The age of the sandstone was about 400 million years. The tip of the nail stuck out of the stone and was corroded, and the hat was in the stone at a depth of 2.5 centimeters. The length of the nail was 23 centimeters.

On June 5, 1852, Scientific America published an article titled "A Relic of a Bygone Era" in which it was reported that during blasting in a quarry near Meeting House Mountain in Dorchester, after one of the explosions, a metal vase was found in a pile of stones, blasted into two pieces. When the parts were connected, a bell-shaped vessel 12 centimeters high with walls 3 millimeters thick was obtained. The color of the metal of the vessel resembled zinc or some alloy with a significant proportion of silver. Six figures in the form of a flower or a bouquet were depicted on one of its sides, and a garland girdled the lower part.

The image of the figures and the garland were beautifully inlaid with pure silver. This amazing vessel was in solid sandstone at a depth of 4.5 meters from the surface. The Vessel" came into the possession of Mr. John Catgel. Dr. D. W. C. Smith, an Oriental explorer and traveler familiar with hundreds of wonderful household utensils, declared that he had never seen anything like it.

In 1871, in Lowe Ridge, Illinois, a metal coin-shaped object was found in the core of a drilling rig. The depth from which the object was raised was 35 meters, and the age of the layers was 200-400 thousand years. Then, in addition to the “coin”, while drilling in the Whiteside area at a depth of 36.6 meters, workers found “a large copper ring, or rim, similar to those still used in ship spars, as well as something resembling a hook.”

In 1889, in Nampa, Idaho, while drilling a well, under layers of sedimentary rocks, basalt, clay and loose sand, at a depth of 91.5 meters, a small figurine of a woman, skillfully sculpted from clay, was found. The height of the figurine was 3.8 centimeters.

On November 27, 1948, Frank Kenwood of Sadfur Spring Township, Arkansas, related the following:

“In 1912, while I was working in Thomas, Oklahoma, I came across a large piece of coal, too big to use. So I smashed it with a sledgehammer. An iron mug fell out of a piece, and its imprint remained on the corner. Worker Jill Stull witnessed it all. I learned that the coal came from the Wilburton Mine in Oklahoma.

Wilburton mines - a place where strange finds have been made more than once. The age of coal here is 312 million years. According to the testimony of mine workers, once here in a piece of coal was found "a whole ingot of silver of the correct form, on which there were imprints of rivets."

Finds, finds... Who made these mysterious objects? They clearly do not look like “aliens from outer space” - the inventory is poor: nails, mugs, coins, chains, clay figurines. So, their own, earthlings. What civilization left these traces?

Traces ... Mysterious people who lived hundreds of millions of years ago, it turns out, literally left their traces. A chain of distinct human footprints of size 43 was discovered in 1983 on the slope of the Kugitang mountain range in Turkmenistan by Corresponding Member of the Academy of Sciences of Turkmenistan K. Amanniyazov. The age of these prints is 150 million years - the Jurassic period, the heyday of the dinosaurs. In 1938, similar tracks were found in Rockcastle County, Kentucky. The same footprints were found in the dry bed of the Palaxy River, Texas, in Pennsylvania, in Tanzania... The age of these footprints is from 150 to 300 million years. These footprints have been proven to be Homo erectus, whose foot looks like a modern human foot, not a fossil hominid.

And this upright man, it turns out, not only walked barefoot, but also ... wore shoes. In October 1922, the New York Sunday American published an article entitled "The Mystery of the Fossilized 'Shoe Sole'" by Dr. W.H. Ballou. It reported that the famous geologist John Reid discovered a petrified imprint of the sole of a shoe on a rock. The contour of only two-thirds of the sole has been preserved. The thread that connected the welt of the shoe to the sole was clearly visible. Then there was another stitch, and in the center, in the place where the pressure of the foot was greatest, there was a depression, which would be left from the bone of the heel, which erases and wears out the soles.

John Reid brought this specimen to New York, where experts agreed with the dating of the mysterious print - 213-248 million years. Naturally, they immediately tried to declare the “sole of the shoe” a “wonder of nature” and an “amazing fake”. However, the shoe makers characterized this print as a hand-welted shoe sole, and the photomicrograph revealed all the smallest details of twisting and twisting of the threads and proved that the print could not be faked. An analysis by chemists from the Rockefeller Institute proved that the age of the imprint is more than two hundred million years.

Another shoe print was discovered in the shale of Utah by trilobite collector William Meister. Having broken a piece of shale, he saw a fossilized footprint, and next to it - the remains of trilobites, fossil marine arthropods. The imprinted shale is 505-590 million years old. The heel print is 3.2 millimeters larger than the sole and is clearly a right foot print, judging by the characteristic wear of the heel. Scientists, of course, declared this find "a strange case of erosion."

What were the people who walked hundreds of millions of years ago on our planet in handmade shoes? On April 2, 1897, the Daily News of Omaho, Nebraska, published an article, “A Cut Stone in a Mine,” which read, in part: rocks, which amazed him. This stone was dark gray in color, 60 centimeters long, 30 wide and 1.2 meters thick. Lines were drawn on its very hard surface, forming regular rhombuses. In the center of each rhombus, the face of an elderly person was well depicted with a special depression on the forehead, which was present in all images. All faces looked alike. Two faces looked to the left, and all the others looked to the right. How the stone ended up under a layer of sandstone at a depth of 40 meters is a question that the miners are not able to answer. They are sure that where the stone is found, the earth has never been damaged.” The coal from the LechigH mine was formed 280-345 million years ago.

Mysterious people left us not only their images. In the late summer of 1860, Giuseppe Ragazoni, professor of geology at the Technical Institute of the Italian city of Brescia, worked in coral deposits near the village of Castendollo at the foot of the Calle de Vento hill. “When I was looking for shells on a coral deposit, the upper part of the skull fell into my hands, completely covered with pieces of coral glued together with green-blue clay,” Ragazoni later recalled. “Extremely surprised, I continued my search and found bones of the chest and limbs, which, quite obviously, belonged to a representative of the human species”: Ragazoni showed the bones to geologists. “Not having much confidence in the circumstances of the discovery, they expressed the opinion that, since the bones did not belong to a very ancient individual, they were from a modern burial in this terrace. After some burden, I returned to the same place and was able to find several more bone fragments in the same condition as the previous ones. In December 1879 - January 1880, in the same place, Ragazoni, with the help of Carlo Germani, discovered many fragments of several skeletons. “All the bones were completely covered with clay, small fragments of corals and shells so that they even penetrated deep into. All this dispels any doubt that these are the bones of people buried in the burial ground, and confirms the fact that they were carried by sea waves. And on February 16, 1880, Ragazzoni and Germani found a whole skeleton, "encased in a mass of green-blue clay, it belonged to an anatomically modern woman." The skeleton was in a layer of blue clay more than a meter thick and retained its integrity. “Probably, by a tragic accident, a person fell into sea silt, but was not buried, because then it would be possible to detect inclusions of yellow sand lying on top and iron-red clay, called“ ferreto ”, writing Ragazoni. The age of blue clays from Castendollo, in the thickness of which mysterious remains were found, is 3-4 million years...

In 1883, Professor Giuseppe Sergi of the University of Rome visited Ragazoni and personally examined the human remains. He determined that they belonged to four individuals: an adult male, an adult female, and two children. Then Sergi went to Castendollo: “I went there on April 14 with Ragazoni. The trench, dug in 1880, clearly showed the geological sequence of layers. With the exception of the almost complete skeleton of a woman, most of the bones were found among shells and corals under blue clay, as if they were scattered on a single plane. This confirms that the owners of the bones drowned near the seashore. When the corpses decomposed, the waves scattered the bones along the surface of the bottom.

Convinced that the Castendollo skeletons are the remains of modern humans who lived 3-4 million years ago, Sergi stated: “The tendency to deny, due to preconceived theoretical concepts, any discoveries that can confirm the existence of man in ancient times, there is, in my opinion, kind of scientific prejudice.

Armande Quartefate, author of The Human Races, writes: “There is no serious reason to doubt the discovery of Ragazoni, and if it is made in the Quaternary deposit, then no one will dare to challenge its correctness. Nothing can be against, except for the previous theories, not related to experience. However, a biased attitude towards the discovery of Ragosini still persists.

A nail that is millions of years old
I wanted to read something on an eternal topic. How do you like the question in the subject of the post? Has everything been proven and everything is clear? Probably not a fact...
The creations of human hands, immured in rocks, whose age is estimated at millions of years, were ignored until recently. And not just anyone, but the scientists themselves. After all, the finds violated the generally accepted fact of human evolution and even the formation of life on Earth. We have already reported on some of the findings. What artifacts are found in rocks, in which, according to the existing theory of the origin and development of man, there should be absolutely nothing?
Let's not talk about the numerous discovered stone tools that were produced at a time when, according to scientists, man did not exist. Let's think about more exotic finds. For example, in 1845, in one of the quarries in Scotland, a nail was found embedded in a block of limestone, and in 1891, an article appeared in one of the American newspapers about a gold chain about 25 cm long, which turned out to be walled up in a block of coal, not older than less than 260 million years.
A message about an extremely unusual find was published in a scientific journal in 1852. It was about a mysterious vessel about 12 cm high, two halves of which were discovered after an explosion in one of the quarries. This vase, with clear images of flowers, was located inside a rock that is 600 million years old. In 1889, in the state of Idaho (USA), while drilling a well, from a depth of more than 90 m, a figure of a woman about 4 cm high was extracted. According to geologists, her age was at least 2 million years.

Vase found in rock 600 million years old
From anomalous finds in the 19th century, let's move on to reports of artifacts in times closer to us. In 1912, at one of the power plants in Oklahoma, when crushing a massive block of coal, the most ordinary iron mug fell out of it ... The fact that it was actually enclosed in coal was evidenced by the characteristic recesses remaining in the pieces of rock . It was possible to find out that the age of the coal delivered to the power plant was about 300 million years. A unique find, again in the state of Oklahoma, was made in one of the coal mines in 1928. After blasting, a real wall was found in the mine face, made of perfectly smooth cubic concrete blocks. It is curious that the management of the mine immediately stopped the development of coal and forbade the miners to tell anyone about what they saw.

Iron mug found in coal 300 million years old
In 1968, the workers of the quarry of Saint-Jean-de-Livet (France) were quite surprised when they found semi-oval metal pipes of various sizes, clearly made by intelligent beings, inside a Cretaceous layer about 65 million years old. Quite recently, already in Russia, the most ordinary bolt was found in ancient rock, which hit the stone about 300 million years ago...
The last sensation among the anomalous finds can be considered the Chandar map, discovered in Bashkiria. The map is a stone slab with a relief image of the area from the Ufa Upland to the city of Meleuz. The map shows numerous channels, as well as dams and water intakes. It is curious that the slab with the map consists of three layers: the first is the base and is a substance resembling cement, the other two layers of silicon and porcelain were clearly intended not only to better display the details of the relief, but also to preserve the entire image as a whole. There are no roads on the Chandar map, but there are unusual even geometrically regular areas resembling small airfields. The age of this unique find is striking: according to scientists, it is about 50 million years old. According to the Vice-Rector of the Bashkir University A.N. Chuvyrov, aliens from outer space, who in ancient times were going to inhabit our planet, could make a map.

Bolt found in rock 300 million years old
So, we moved on to the question of the authorship of numerous anomalous finds. Perhaps the easiest way, and even more profitable for scientists, is to blame everything on the unfortunate humanoids. Here they lost a bolt, then a mug, and in Bashkiria they dropped a map weighing one ton ... What we now find in the bowels of the Earth are all tricks of aliens ... Only here are the scales of these "tricks", and their geography are impressive: it begins to seem that once upon a time our Earth was simply inhabited by aliens ... Then, maybe we ourselves are also aliens? ..
A much more serious hypothesis explaining the anomalous finds in rocks is the assumption of the existence on Earth in the distant past of a proto-civilization that reached a high development and disappeared in a global catastrophe. This hypothesis irritates scientists most of all, because it breaks a more or less harmonious concept of not only the emergence and development of mankind, but also the formation of life on Earth in general.

'Spark plug' found in 500,000-year-old rock

"Spark plug" under x-ray
Well, let's say people existed millions of years ago and even ran a race with dinosaurs, then there should be some fossilized bones left from them? That's just the point, that remained! In 1850, in Italy, in rocks 4 million years old, a skeleton was discovered that, in its structure, is quite consistent with modern man. And in California, in gold-bearing gravel, at least 9 million years old, human remains were also found.
These finds were not isolated, but just like all those found in very ancient rocks, human remains knocked the ground out from under the feet of conservative scientists: anomalous bones were either hidden in storerooms or declared fake. Ultimately, it turns out that scientists have at their disposal not only anomalous artifacts, but also very ancient human remains that do not fit into any chronological framework of the alleged human evolution.
What to do with all this?

Engraved Spheres

Battery from Baghdad
Of course, somehow systematize and link them together. But this requires truly courageous people. The real revolutionaries will be those who dare to revise the history of the development of intelligent life on Earth. It is possible that, in addition to the scientific community, government officials and even special services will put pressure on them. We, on the other hand, do not like panic to the extreme, and evidence of a catastrophe in which a similar to us, or maybe a more powerful civilization perished, may seem superfluous to someone. As for the special services, remember the mine, which was closed in the state of Oklohoma after a concrete wall was found among the coal. Who knows, maybe somewhere there is already a secret mine, where, under the heavy protection of the military in the bowels of the Earth, the real development of priceless artifacts of a lost civilization is going on ..

An iron hammer called "The Hammer of the Creator"
After the recent sensational report about the discovery of a 300-million-year-old bolt in the Karelian swamps, it is appropriate to recall that such finds have confused the minds of scientists before. The most interesting of them was made in 1961 in California (USA). The three friends—Mike Makesell, Wallace Lane, and Virginia Mexi—often made trips to the Mount Coso area to look for beautiful gemstones, which they then sold in their souvenir shop. Of particular interest to friends were geodes - mineral formations of a spherical shape, in the internal voids of which there were rare in beauty intergrowths of rock crystals or amethyst. Stone lovers are also looking for similar geodes in Rusavkin near Moscow, where sometimes they come across good brushes of amethyst crystals.

Antikytherian computer
Let's take a closer look at this find.
In the early 1900s, Elias Stadiatos and a group of other Greek divers were fishing for sea sponges off the coast of the small rocky island of Andikithira, located between the southern tip of the Peloponnese peninsula and the island of Crete. Rising from another dive, Stadiatos began to mumble something about "many dead naked women" lying on the seabed. Upon further examination of the bottom at a depth of almost 140 feet, the diver discovered the wreck of a sunken Roman freighter 164 feet long. Items from the 1st century BC were on the ship. BC e .: marble and bronze statues (dead naked women), coins, gold jewelry, pottery and, as it turned out later, pieces of oxidized bronze that fell apart immediately after rising from the bottom of the sea. The finds from the shipwreck were immediately studied, described and sent to the National Museum of Athens for exhibition and storage. On May 17, 1902, the Greek archaeologist Spyridon Stais, studying unusual fragments from sunken ships covered with marine growths that had lain at sea for up to 2000 years, noticed in one piece a gear wheel with an inscription similar to Greek writing.
A wooden box was found next to the unusual object, but it, like the wooden boards from the ship itself, soon dried out and crumbled. Further research and careful cleaning of the oxidized bronze revealed several more fragments of the mysterious object. Soon a skilfully made gear mechanism made of bronze, measuring 33x17x9 cm, was found. BC e. - this is how the sunken ship was dated according to the pottery found on it. Many researchers believed that the mechanism was a medieval astrolabe - an astronomical instrument for observing the movement of the planets used in navigation (the oldest known example was an Iraqi astrolabe of the 9th century). However, it was not possible to come to a common opinion regarding the dating and purpose of creating the artifact, and soon the mysterious object was forgotten.
In 1951, British physicist Derek De Solla Price, then professor of the history of science at Yale University, became interested in the ingenious mechanism from the sunken ship and began to study it in detail. In June 1959, after eight years of careful study of X-ray images of the subject, the results of the analysis were presented in an article entitled "The Ancient Greek Computer" and published in Scientific American. With the help of x-rays, at least 20 individual gears were examined, including a semi-axial one, which was previously considered an invention of the 16th century. The side gear allowed the two rods to rotate at different speeds, similar to the rear axle of automobiles. Summing up his research, Price came to the conclusion that the Antikythera find is the wreckage of the "greatest astronomical clock", the prototypes of "modern analog computers." His article was met with disapproval in the scientific world. Some professors refused to believe in the possibility of such a device and suggested that the object must have fallen into the sea in the Middle Ages and accidentally ended up among the wreckage of a shipwreck.
In 1974, Price published the results of a more complete study in a monograph entitled Greek Instruments: The Antikythera Mechanism - The Calendar Computer of 80 B.C. e.". In his work, he analyzed X-rays made by the Greek radiographer Christos Karakalos and gamma radiography data obtained by him. Price's further research showed that the ancient scientific instrument actually consisted of more than 30 gears, but most of them are not fully represented. Nevertheless, even the surviving fragments allowed Price to conclude that when the crank was turned, the mechanism should have shown the movement of the Moon, the Sun, possibly the planets, as well as the rise of the main stars. According to the functions performed, the device resembled a complex astronomical computer. It was a working model of the solar system, once housed in a wooden box with hinged doors that protected the inside of the mechanism. The inscriptions and the arrangement of the gears (as well as the annual circle of the object) led Price to the conclusion that the mechanism is associated with the name of Geminus of Rhodes, a Greek astronomer and mathematician who lived around 110-40 years. BC e. Price decided that the Antikythera mechanism was designed on the Greek island of Rhodes, off the coast of Turkey, possibly even by Geminus himself, around 87 BC. e. Among the remains of the cargo with which the wrecked ship sailed, jugs from the island of Rhodes were indeed found. Apparently, they were taken from Rhodes to Rome. The date when the ship went under water, with a certain degree of certainty, can be attributed to 80 BC. e. The object was already several years old at the time of the crash, so today the date of creation of the Antikythera mechanism is considered to be 87 BC. e.

In this case, it is possible that the device was created by Geminus on the island of Rhodes. This conclusion seems plausible also because Rhodes in those days was known as a center of astronomical and technological research. In the II century. BC e. the Greek writer and mechanic Philo of Byzantium described polybolos that he saw on Rhodes. These amazing catapults could fire without reloading: two gears were connected on them by a chain, which was set in motion with the help of a gate (a mechanical device consisting of a horizontal cylinder with a handle, thanks to which it could rotate). It was on Rhodes that the Greek Stoic philosopher, astronomer and geographer Posidonius (135-51 BC) managed to reveal the nature of the ebb and flow. In addition, Posidonius quite accurately (for that time) calculated the size of the Sun, as well as the size of the Moon and the distance to it. The name of the astronomer Hipparchus of Rhodes (190-125 BC) is associated with the discovery of trigonometry and the creation of the first star catalog. Moreover, he was one of the first Europeans who, using data from Babylonian astronomy and his own observations, explored the solar system. It is possible that part of the data obtained by Hipparchus and his ideas were used to create the Antikythera mechanism.
The Antikythera device is the oldest extant example of complex mechanical technology. The use of cogwheels more than 2000 years ago is of the greatest astonishment, and the skill with which they were made is comparable to the art of clockmaking in the 18th century. In recent years, several working copies of the ancient computer have been created. One of them was made by the Austrian computer specialist Allan George Bromley (1947-2002) from the University of Sydney and watchmaker Frank Percival. Bromley also took the clearest x-rays of the object, which formed the basis for a three-dimensional model of the mechanism by his student Bernard Garner. A few years later, the British inventor, author of the orrary (a desktop demonstration mechanical planetarium - a model of the solar system), John Gleave, designed a more accurate model: on the front panel of the working model there was a dial that displayed the movement of the Sun and Moon along the zodiac constellations of the Egyptian calendar.

Another attempt to investigate and recreate the artifact was made in 2002 by Michael Wright, Curator of the Mechanical Engineering Department of the Science Museum, together with Allan Bromley. Although some of Wright's findings differ from those of Derek DeSol Price, he concluded that the mechanism was an even more amazing invention than Price had imagined. Justifying his theory, Wright relied on x-rays of the subject and used the method of the so-called linear tomography. This technology allows you to see the object in detail, considering only one of its plane or edge, clearly focusing the image. Thus, Wright was able to carefully study the gears and establish that the device could accurately simulate not only the movement of the Sun and Moon, but also all the planets known to the ancient Greeks: Mercury, Venus, Mars, Jupiter and Saturn. Apparently, thanks to the bronze marks arranged in a circle on the front panel of the artifact, which denoted the zodiac constellations, the mechanism could (and quite accurately) calculate the position of known planets in relation to any date. In September 2002, Wright completed the model and it became part of the "Ancient Technologies" exhibit at the Technopark of the Museum of Athens.
Many years of research, attempts to reconstruct and various assumptions have not given an exact answer to the question: how the Antikythera mechanism worked. There were theories that it performed astrological functions and was used to computerize horoscopes, created as an educational model of the solar system, or even as an elaborate toy for the rich. Derek De Solla Price considered the mechanism to be evidence of the high-tech traditions of metalworking among the ancient Greeks. In his opinion, when Ancient Greece fell into decay, this knowledge was not lost - it became the property of the Arab world, where similar mechanisms later appeared, and later created the foundation for the development of watchmaking technology in medieval Europe. Price believed that at first the device was in the statue, on a special board. The mechanism may once have been located in a structure similar to the stunning octagonal marble tower of the winds with a water clock located on the Roman Agora in Athens.
Research and attempts to recreate the Antikythera mechanism forced scientists to look at the description of devices of this type in ancient texts from a different point of view. Previously, it was believed that references to mechanical astronomical models in the works of ancient authors should not be taken literally. It was assumed that the Greeks possessed a general theory, and not specific knowledge in the field of mechanics. However, after the discovery and study of the Antikythera mechanism, this opinion should change. Roman orator and writer Cicero, who lived and worked in the 1st century BC. BC e., that is, during the period when the shipwreck occurred at Antikythera, tells about the invention of his friend and teacher, the previously mentioned Posidonius. Cicero says that Posidonius recently created a device "which, with each revolution, reproduces the movement of the Sun, the Moon and the five planets, occupying a certain place in the sky every day and night." Cicero also mentions that the astronomer, engineer and mathematician Archimedes of Syracuse (287-212 BC) was "reputed to have made a small model of the solar system." The speaker's remark that the Roman consul Marcelius was very proud of having a model of the solar system designed by Archimedes himself may also be related to the device. He took it as a trophy in Syracuse, located on the east coast of Sicily. It was during the siege of the city, in 212 BC. e., Archimedes was killed by a Roman soldier. Some researchers believe that the astronomical instrument recovered from the shipwreck off Antikythera was designed and built by Archimedes. However, it is only certain that one of the most amazing artifacts of the ancient world, the real Antikythera mechanism, is today in the collection of the National Archaeological Museum in Athens and, together with the reconstructed specimen, is part of its exposition. A copy of the ancient device is also exhibited at the American Computer Museum in Bozeman (Montana). The discovery of the Antikythera mechanism unambiguously called into question the conventional wisdom about the scientific and technological achievements of the ancient world.

Reconstructed models of the device proved that it performed the functions of an astronomical computer, and Greek and Roman scientists of the 1st century. BC e. quite skillfully designed and created complex mechanisms, which for a thousand years had no equal. Derek De Solla Price observed that civilizations with the technology and knowledge needed to build such machines "could build just about anything they wanted to". Unfortunately, most of what they created has not been preserved. The fact that the Antikythera mechanism is not mentioned in the ancient texts that have come down to our time proves how much has been lost from that important and amazing period of European history. And if it weren't for the sea sponge fishermen 100 years ago, we wouldn't have this evidence of scientific advances in Greece 2000 years ago.

Iraqi artifact
Usually, professional mineral hunters do not break geodes at the find site (the crystals inside can be severely damaged), but open them with a diamond saw. So, Mike found a geode covered with the bark of petrified turtles near Owens Lake, near Mount Koso, and his friends took it with them to saw it at home. When Meixell began sawing his find, it became clear that this time he would have to forget about the crystals - there was no void inside the geode. Instead, there was some strange substance, something like ceramics. In the center of this ceramic mass, a cut of a metal bar with a diameter of 2 mm made of white metal was visible.

drop stone
“In the section, the geode had the following appearance: under the ball of turtles there was a small prism with a regular hexagonal base, 32 mm in diameter, made of soft and fragile material; it contains a copper spiral, which, most likely, ran along the entire length of the prism and was partially corroded; the spiral, in turn, covered an extremely hard ceramic rod with a diameter of 18 mm, through which a metal rod with a diameter of 2 mm passed, ”such a description of this find is given in the book“ Riddles of Antiquity ”by G.E. Burgansky and R.S. Furdui.
Of course, the unique find was X-rayed and found out that in its structure it most of all resembles ... an automobile spark plug, although, as experts have established, not a single plant in the entire history of mankind has produced such a spark plug. Geologists, in turn, based on petrified turtles, determined the age of this unique find - at least 500 thousand years...
How can you explain the existence of a bolt and a spark plug of incredibly ancient age? “... The Ufa Upland is easily recognizable, and the Ufa Canyon is the most important point of our evidence, since we carried out geological surveys and found its trace where it should be, according to the ancient map ... the Ufa Canyon is clearly visible - a break in the earth's crust stretching from Ufa to Sterlitamak. At the moment, the Urshak River flows through the former canyon. Here she is…"

The stone map is clearly of artificial origin and made using a technology not known to modern science. Very durable dolomite is used as the base. It is coated with a layer of so-called. "Diopside glass", the processing technology of which is still unknown to science. It is on this layer that the three-dimensional terrain is reproduced. This means that the area seems to be molded from plasticine in the right proportions, i.e. on a certain scale, not only the lengths and widths, but also the depths of rivers, streams, canals, gorges, heights of hills, etc. are shown.

The current level of development of science and technology does not allow to accurately determine the profile of the bottom of rivers and other reservoirs filled with water. We don't know how to do it yet! And our ancestors, who created the stone map, knew how! Moreover, some American scientists (where without them), who studied the map, argue that the creation of such a map requires the processing of huge amounts of data that can only be obtained by aerospace photography!
“... As the plate was studied, mysteries only increased. The map clearly shows the region's gigantic irrigation system, a marvel of engineering. In addition to rivers, two systems of canals 500 meters wide, 12 dams 300 × 500 meters wide, up to 10 kilometers long and 3 kilometers deep each are depicted. Dams made it possible to turn water in one direction or another, and more than a quadrillion cubic meters of earth were moved to create them. Compared to them, the Volga-Don Canal on the modern terrain may seem like a scratch ... "

The conclusions of scientists about the age of the find are very interesting. At first, - says Professor A. Chuvyrov, - they assumed that the stone was about three thousand years old. Then this number was gradually increased until some fossilized shells embedded in the stone were identified, and it was decided that the product was tens of millions of years old. Here scientists are certainly right: the stone used as the basis for the map can be very many years old. Even billions! But that doesn't say anything. Today, monuments are also made from stone blocks of granite and marble, which can be millions of years old, but no one claims that products from them also have an equally respectable age. This is obvious to almost everyone.
Why are scientists willing to support obvious fabrications about the age of a unique stone map?

Or maybe all this is "far-fetched" and there is nothing supernatural here?

As you know, coal was formed on our planet hundreds of millions of years ago, and therefore things that are occasionally found in coal seams, often at a depth of hundreds or more meters, have lain there for at least 300 million years. At the same time, it is striking what exactly is found in this ancient corner ...

For example, a certain Mrs. S. W. Culp in the last century accidentally found a chain of 192 grams in weight, made of 8 carat gold, in the coal she bought. Having broken a large piece of coal so that it would be more convenient to put it in the furnace of the stove, the woman discovered this decoration, which miraculously fell into the stone layer. Such a discovery is not just an event, it is a real sensation, because 300 million years ago, when this lump of coal was formed, there was no man in sight on Earth, according to official science. Then who made this decoration and for what?

And such mysterious finds have accumulated over the past two centuries. For example, the co-authors of the book "Forbidden Archeology" Richard Thomson and Michel Kremo give many similar examples that do not fit into the generally accepted history of mankind, making you think seriously ...

Gifts that coal brings us

... In 1928, in the state of Oklahoma, USA, in a coal mine at a depth of about one hundred meters, workers, when dismantling coal after an explosion in a tunneling, suddenly discovered concrete hexagonal blocks, each face of which had exactly 30 centimeters and was perfectly polished. Subsequent blasting opened up a whole wall made of such hexagonal blocks. Experts have determined that the age of coal is at least 280 million years. Who built these structures at that time? Yes, even from concrete, which is not afraid of time? And this is not an isolated case when mysterious buildings of the deepest antiquity are found in the mines deep underground. Fantastic gifts that coal throws at us are sometimes found at great depths, where the layers formed 600 million years and even earlier.

No less interesting can be called a find in coal in 1912 in Oklahoma, USA. Here is what Frank Kenwood wrote about it:

That year we were mining coal in Thomas and I came across a very large piece, which I decided to break. Under the blow of a sledgehammer, it split into two halves, and inside it was a metal mug. My partner Jill Stull witnessed this. As far as I know, that coal was formed about three hundred million years ago. How did the mug get there? Unfortunately, scientists took it away from us - and with ends, so I can’t say something about the mug itself, the composition of its metal, and so on ...

Many similar finds have been made in the Wilburton mines, whose coal is over 300 million years old. Here, once, in a piece of coal, they found an ingot of silver, and it was of the correct shape with imprints of rivets on it.

Iron nails, gears, bolts were also found in the coal ... And the copper bell with an artistically executed handle, which was discovered in 1944 in a piece of coal by the American Newton Anderson? ..

A lot can be said about such riddles, and these are only “gifts” of coal. Everything else that antiquities researchers find and which quite fits the definition of “forbidden archeology” is disproportionately larger (watch the video about it).

Are there traces of previous civilizations in the coal?

Who left all this on Earth at that distant time, when dinosaurs did not roam on it yet? After all, science claims that lizards appeared on Earth approximately 225 million years ago. A concrete wall found in a coal mine is 600 million years old, all kinds of household items and decorations are 300 million years old or more. To whom did all this belong? Aliens? With a stretch, we can assume that it was they who built the wall, but a gold chain, a silver ingot, a copper bell, an iron nail, a bolt and a metal mug are something poor for the aliens, and why do they need all this? ..

It turns out that there were civilizations on Earth long before the appearance of mankind, and we know absolutely nothing about this. And we don’t want to know, because, on the one hand, “unsinkable” Darwinism, and on the other, all kinds of political adventures, expressed in the desire of the powerful of this world to correct or even radically change history, turned people into savages, who, figuratively speaking, were imprisoned into an artificial cage and inspired them (through false textbooks and corrupt media) that it is this cage that is our single and unique habitat.

Think even about this already common definition that Richard Thomson and Michel Cremo took for the title of their book - forbidden archeology. Why is it forbidden and, most importantly, by whom and on what basis is it forbidden?..
