Modern historical writers of everyday life are often very condescending about the mental abilities of our ancestors. Their lives and way of life are painted in gloomy colors - what kind of achievements can we talk about, if in ancient times a person only did what he fought for his survival ?!

3000 years ago, in the Minusinsk Basin of Siberia, a most complex irrigation system was created, which, after a small repair in Soviet times, is still working properly.

On the island of Crete, the remains of a clock mechanism were found, the accuracy of which is amazing for our days.

In ancient Rome, there was a complex system of water supply and sewerage, although in Paris and in the XV century. continued to pour slops with human excrement directly onto the city street!

But were our ancestors so primitive in their reasoning and practical actions?!

Take the example of the Great Silk Road.

The Great Silk Road is not just a road from China towards Rome, but a developed network from China to Rome, from India to Samarkand and further north, up to the cities along Itil (Volga), where the Volga-Kama Bulgaria flourished and developed. Some part of the Great Silk Road skirted the Caspian from the north and went to the fortress of Derbent, and from there to the Black Sea region.

The discovery in ancient documents or annals of a mention of the existence of "services" for the repair and maintenance of objects of the Great Trade Route will hardly cause surprise. The Great Silk Road, whose age by that time exceeded a thousand years, absorbed all the best of the then existing engineering practice.

And, perhaps, the main thing is the admirable ability, with the help of the simplest engineering and construction solutions, to extract water from the surrounding atmosphere in any quantity and quality. Now these solutions can help us cope with the problem of water supply anywhere on our planet.

No, the author of these lines does not offer something exotic. We just need to return to the experience of our ancestors. Here is part of a line from the Koran (translated by I.Yu. Krachkovsky, 1963): “What they spend… like a whirlwind in which the cold: he struck the sowing of the people ... ". That is, an ancient literary monument recorded the fact that one and a half thousand years before the discovery of the French engineer J. Rank 3 people already knew that in the center of the vortex flow, the temperature of the gas could drop to the point of freezing.

Wells were one of the main advantages of the Great Silk Road, the greatest engineering and transport facility in the history of mankind. In order to increase, in modern terms, the payload of caravans, the engineers did everything so that pack animals did not carry huge supplies of drinking water, except for some minimum required for one transition.

Along the way, at a distance of 12-15 km from each other, wells were created, each of which had water in sufficient quantities to water a caravan of 150-200 camels.

This is evidenced by the notes of Arab travelers dating back to the time of the emergence of the Caliphate (VII century). The authors of the notes call the Chinese and their engineers the creators of the wells. Probably, it was so: modern China, as in ancient times, prefers reasonable and profitable trade expansion in relations with its neighbors, rather than military-political one.

The construction of roads, even if not on their own land, was part of this intelligent expansion. But let's not rush to establish authorship and deny engineering abilities to other ancient peoples.

Reconstruction of the wells of the Great Silk Road.

Figures 1 and 2 show pictures of the reconstruction of a well in the desert, made by the author of these lines according to the descriptions of the Arabs. In such a well, pure (cleanest!) Water was extracted directly from atmospheric air.

Of course, the percentage of water vapor in desert air is extremely small ( less than 0.01% specific volume ). But, thanks to the design of the well, thousands of cubic meters of desert air were “pumped” through its volume per day, and almost the entire mass of water contained in it was taken away from each such cubic meter. The ancient engineers used the vortex effect!

The well itself was half its height dug into the ground. Travelers went down the stairs for water - and there were several such descents - onto the blind area and scooped up water. In the center of the recess for the accumulated water stood a pile of stones neatly laid out in a high cone (a condenser?!).

The Arabs testify that both the accumulated water and the air at the level of the blind areas were surprisingly cold, although there was a murderous heat outside the well. The lower back of the stones in the pile was damp, and the stones were cold to the touch.

Accumulation of water in a well

Unfortunately, the sparseness of the description of the conical or tent vault of the well does not give a clear idea of ​​its design features. The lack of information has to be compensated by speculative constructions.

One has only to pay attention to the slight surprise of the Arabs: ceramic lining was an expensive material in those days, but the builders of wells did not take into account the costs, and each well had such an overlap. But this was done for a reason, since the clay material could be given any necessary shape, then annealed and a finished part could be obtained that could work in the most difficult climatic conditions for many years.

In the conical or tent vault of the well (Fig. 3), radial channels were made, covered with ceramic lining, or the ceramic lining itself was a set of parts with ready-made sections of radial channels. Warming up under the rays of the sun, the lining transferred part of the thermal energy to the air in the channel. There was a convective flow of heated air through the channel. Jets of heated air were thrown into the central part of the vault. But how and why did the vortex movement appear inside the well building?

Well top structure

The very first assumption was that the axis of the channels did not coincide with the radial direction. There was a small angle between the channel axis and the roof radius, i.e. the jets were tangential. Moreover, the builders used very small angles of tangentiality between the radius and the axis of the jet - no more than 50. The angular value of 50 is rather insignificant, sometimes it cannot be seen with the naked eye. This is probably why the technological secret of ancient engineers remains unsolved to this day.

The use of jets of low tangentiality with bringing their number almost to infinity opens up new possibilities for vortex technologies. Let's not pretend to be pioneers. Engineers in antiquity owned this technology to perfection. The height of the well building, including its dug-in part, was 6-8 m, with a building diameter at the base of no more than 6 m, but a vortex formation arose and worked steadily in the well.

The cooling effect of the vortex was used with very high efficiency. The conical pile of stones really played the role of a capacitor. The falling "cold" axial flow of the vortex took away the heat of the stones and cooled them. Water vapor, contained in negligible amounts in each specific volume of air, condensed on the surfaces of the stones.

Thus, in the deepening of the well there was a constant process of accumulation of water. The "hot" peripheral flow of the vortex was thrown out through the entrance openings of the stair descents into the well. Only this can explain the presence of several descents inside at once. Due to the large inertia of the rotation of the vortex formation, the well worked around the clock.

Water was extracted both during the day and at night, while no types of energy, except for solar energy, were used. It is possible that at night the well worked even more intensively than during the day, since the temperature of the desert air after sunset drops by 30-400C, which affects its density and humidity.

So why not take advantage of the experience of ancient engineers in conditions where the territory of deserts with a total area of ​​​​more than 30 million square meters. km annually spreads by another 210 thousand square meters. km? So the Sahara annually robs people of 100,000 hectares of arable land and grazing land; the Atacama Desert moves at a speed of 2.5 km per year, the Thar Desert - 1 km per year. Naturally, the movement of deserts causes an increase in migratory human flows. You have to pay for everything. Including, for the anthropogenic impact on the extremely fragile ecosystem of the zones bordering on deserts.

As L.N. Gumilyov, 15 thousand years ago there were no deserts at all. Having a colossal advantage over the technological capabilities of the ancient builders in the form of a supply of light, durable and relatively cheap materials, we could carry out a reverse anthropogenic impact on deserts and make them work for our civilization. This ancient vortex technology can be widely used in the construction of natural water-producing stations, that is, such a station will operate using only free solar energy.

The water producing station (VDS) is formed from sheet metal and rolled metal, the vault is recruited from boxes. We have no experience in the construction of such structures - it is enough to take all kinds of oil storage facilities as a basis. The optimal dimensions will be determined during the testing of the first samples. The finished station is assembled and installed on site in a matter of days and will require only a small amount of earthmoving, including laying a water pipe to the place of consumption or collection of water. The well-proven Raschig rings 4 can be used as the base material of the capacitor.

It is also profitable to build a VDS in many southern and steppe regions of Russia, in Primorye of the Far East. Only they will work less than a quarter of the year. In a dry year - a little longer. In essence, one such station will be equivalent to a forest grove with an area of ​​2-3 hectares. The statement of V. 5, who has come from an Austrian forester to a brilliant engineer and physicist, is known, that a mature forest on the plains of temperate latitude contributes to the moistening of air and soil due to the many weak eddy air currents that are born in it.

We must conserve fresh water as a long-term capital, not letting it go on sale. It is necessary to hastily develop and trade water generation technologies and equipment. We have the experience of our ancestors, and this is quite enough. We, like air, need a reasonable and profitable industrial - in an innovative sense - expansion. To begin with, at least in the south, in Central Asia, in the deserts of our former neighbors in the Union. The construction of a GVA cascade along drying rivers is not charity, but initially a self-sustaining and mutually beneficial action.

This ancient technology should also attract the attention of specialists from architecture. They tend to build buildings with ever-increasing areas of window openings. There is more and more glass in building structures. But such buildings in hot sunny weather become greenhouses. The number and capacity of air conditioners is growing, and in the heat the power grids of cities are more overloaded than in 30-degree frosts.

And why not practice the experience of ancient engineers? After all, it is high time to use solar energy in summer to produce well-moistened and cold air for air-conditioning “glass” buildings, if only because of the high cost of electricity. To build on the roof of a building a light and relatively cheap design of a natural air conditioner - what could be simpler?

In the novel “Notre Dame Cathedral” there is a chapter “This will kill that”, in which Victor Hugo amazingly beautifully and elegantly in French sets out his view of architecture, architecture, as a way to perpetuate human thought in stone, in a structure, in the outlines of a building . If you follow it, then the desire of the builders of the East for rounded, cylindrical and spherical forms, in contrast to the builders of the West, who gravitated towards cubic and rectangular, was far from accidental. No wonder historians of mathematics claim that the number π was much more in demand in the East than in the West.

The builders knew about the "cooling" effect of the swirling flow and used it very widely, including in the construction of buildings and palaces. Well, does anyone seriously believe that only a shadow and a fan were the only salvation from the murderous heat! Oriental architects were able to create comfort inside buildings. It would be nice for us to use this experience.

In conclusion, it would not be superfluous to quote the statement of V. Schauberger: “By solving the problem of generating water and making it possible to obtain any volume and any quality of water in any place, a person will reclaim vast desert lands and thereby lower both the selling price of food and the selling price of machine capacities to such a minimum that any profit of speculation in this will disappear.

The abundance of food and the economical productivity of machines are such crushing arguments that the general idea of ​​the world, as well as the whole worldview, will undergo a change.

1 Gumilyov Lev Nikolayevich (1912-1992), Russian historian, geographer, Doctor of Historical (1961) and Geographical (1974) Sciences, Academician of the Russian Academy of Natural Sciences (1991). Creator of the doctrine of humanity and ethnic groups as biosocial categories; studied the bioenergetic dominant of ethnogenesis (called it passionarity). Works on the history of the Turkic, Mongolian, Slavic and other peoples of Eurasia.

2 Yasa is the name of the code of Genghis Khan, which, according to legend, he published at the great All-Mongol kurultai and which was constantly confirmed by his successors.

3 Ranque-Hilsch effect, engl. Ranque-Hilsch Effect - the effect of the separation of a gas or liquid when swirling in a cylindrical or conical chamber into two fractions. A swirling flow with a higher temperature is formed at the periphery, and a swirling cooled flow is formed in the center, and the rotation in the center occurs in the opposite direction than at the periphery.

The effect was first discovered by the French engineer Joseph Rank in the late 1920s. when measuring temperature in an industrial cyclone. At the end of 1931, J. Rank applied for an invented device, which he called a "vortex tube" (it is found in the literature as a Rank tube). It is possible to obtain a patent only in 1934 in America (US Patent No. 1952281).

4 Raschig Friedrich (1863-1928), German chemical technologist and industrialist. Proposed (1890) a method of fractional distillation of organic substances in columns filled with ceramic rings (Raschig rings).

5 Victor Schauberger (1885-1958) was born in Austria. The first mention of his activities dates back to the early 20s, when Schauberger, working as a gamekeeper in a logging company, designed and installed water gutters with spiral notches similar to guns. When the logs fell into the chutes, they rotated around their axis, which increased their speed of movement.

In 1930, he designed an electric generator, the turbine of which was fundamentally different from the design of conventional water turbines. The generator was installed near a sawmill and was successfully used for 3 years, but specific information about its operation has not been preserved. At the beginning of World War II, Viktor Schauberger was interned in a Nazi concentration camp, where he was recruited to work on the flying Belonze Disc, offering him an original vortex engine.

Numerous archaeological finds confirm the fact that dinosaurs and people of the ancient world lived at the same time, and technologies of ancient civilizations were at a level that we can only guess at. At the same time, the nature of the discovery of objects and the remains of living beings speaks of a global catastrophe that destroyed the first world.

non-rusting iron

Unexplained finds are often associated with fossil objects, which, according to official science at that time, not only could not be made, but should not have existed at all. Moreover, the objects found indicate that the technologies of ancient civilizations were significantly superior to modern ones.

In the rocks near the American town of London in Texas, Emma Khan in June 1934 discovered a hammer, the metal part of which has a length of 15 centimeters and a diameter of about 3 centimeters. It is located in a piece of limestone about 140 million years old. Research conducted by various scientific institutions, including the famous Battele laboratory (USA), gave an unexpected result. Experts drew attention to the petrified wooden handle of the hammer, which turned into coal from the inside, which also makes it possible to talk about the multimillion-year age of the find. Specialists of the Metallurgical Institute in Columbus (Ohio) were surprised by the chemical composition of the metal of this hammer: 96.6% iron, 2.6% chlorine and 0.74% sulfur. No other impurities were identified. So pure iron could not be obtained in the entire history of metallurgy. This iron does not contain traces of carbon, while iron ore from all deposits always contains carbon and other impurities. This iron is not subject to the rusting process.

According to Dr. K. E. Buff, director of the Museum of Fossil Antiquities, where this exhibit was placed, the hammer comes from the early Cretaceous period, that is, it is from 140 to 65 million years old. Modern science believes that people learned to make iron products only 10 thousand years ago. Dr. Hans-Joachim Zilmer from Germany, who carefully examined the artifact, came to the conclusion that this hammer was made using a technology unknown to us.

Technology of the Ancients: The Mystery of the Ancient Alloy

In the spring of 1974 in Romania, 50 kilometers south of the city of Cluj-Napoca, in a sand pit on the banks of the Mures River, workers discovered an object 20.2 centimeters long. They decided that it was a stone ax and sent the find to the archaeological institute. There, archaeologists cleared it of a sandy crust and saw a rectangular metal object with two holes of different diameters, converging at a right angle. An oval deformity was visible at the bottom of the larger of the holes; perhaps a shaft or rod was strengthened in this hole. The top and side surfaces of the object were covered with marks from heavy blows. Scientists came to the conclusion that this object is part of some more complex device.

Analyzes showed that the object consists of a complex metal alloy, which includes 13 elements, the main of which was aluminum (89%). This is one of the most common elements of the earth's crust, but aluminum began to be used as a material for industrial products only in the 19th century. The found sample was much older, as evidenced by the depth of the find - 10 meters and the remains of a mastodon located next to it (this animal species died out about a million years ago). Also, a very thick oxidation film (over one millimeter) on its surface speaks in favor of the antiquity of the object. Its purpose remains unclear, but one thing is clear: knowledge about the technologies of ancient civilizations has been completely lost, and those discoveries that have been made were once known...

God Technology: Spinning Sphere

In the 1980s, workers at the South African Wonderstone mine found extremely amazing metal balls in deposits of pyrophyllite, a mineral that is about 3 billion years old. Grayish-blue with a reddish tint, the balls were slightly flattened spheres with a diameter of 2.5 to 10 centimeters, surrounded by three even grooves and made of an alloy similar to nickel-plated steel. It should immediately be said that this alloy in its natural state does not occur in nature. Inside these balls was a strange loose material that evaporated on contact with air. One of these balls was placed in a museum, and it soon turned out that the ball, lying under a glass cap, slowly rotates around its axis, making a complete revolution in 128 days. Scientists have not been able to explain this phenomenon in any way.

In 1928, near the city of Kambe in Rhodesia (territory of Zambia), scientists encountered a completely inexplicable phenomenon: an ancient human skull was discovered with a perfectly even hole resembling a bullet mark. A similar find was made in Yakutia, where the skull of a bison was found, which lived 40 thousand years ago and received the same even hole in the skull, which, moreover, had time to overgrow during his lifetime.

What do the finds of unidentified fossil objects say? And these findings confirm the inconsistency of modern historical science regarding ancient eras. It is quite obvious that we have a complete contradiction between the actual data and theories that are being imposed today in educational institutions. Firstly, both dinosaurs and people of the ancient world lived at the same time, and this is direct evidence of the absurdity of Darwin's so-called theory of evolution. Secondly, in those times in question, people owned technologies that we can only guess about. Thirdly, the nature of the discovery of objects and remains of living beings speaks of a global catastrophe (or a series of catastrophes) that destroyed the first world. Naturally, the technologies of ancient civilizations, along with the knowledge of this world, were practically lost. In addition, numerous evidence of ancient cataclysms speaks of the fundamental inaccuracy of modern methods of dating finds. After all, the radiocarbon method used today requires a smooth change in the carbon content, and during catastrophes comparable to a supernova explosion or a meteorite fall, the carbon content changes abruptly. Therefore, the time periods called by science in millions and even more so billions of years are actually not confirmed by anything. The Biblical explanation of the origin of the world, which easily substantiates the artifacts found, is still ignored by most scientists, preferring to be captive to their own conjectures...

New archaeological finds, information about which is becoming available to an ever wider circle of people, suggest that the historical information about the past of our planet that we have been putting into our heads all this time requires a meaningful revision. Of particular interest are finds related to the use in ancient times of technologies that could not be available to the ancient inhabitants of the earth.

For example, in one of the issues of the journal "Accounts of Chemical Research" it is said that scientists discovered the fact that artisans who lived more than 2 thousand years ago used the technology of applying thin films of metals to statues and other objects, which exceeds modern standards for such work. In the article, scientists from the American Chemical Society argue that "the high level of competence of the artisans of this ancient period, who were able to produce items of a quality that could not be surpassed in those days, and which modern technology has not yet reached."

Gilding and silvering has long been a well-known process in which, using mercury, it is possible to cover products with a thin layer of silver and gold. Sometimes it was also used for fraudulent purposes, giving the appearance of silver and gold to less precious metals. So, using unknown technologies, the ancient craftsmen managed to cover products with an ultra-thin layer of precious coating, which allows the layer to adhere tightly to the surface of the product and take any shape - this technique saved precious metals and increased the durability of the product. Experts say that modern technology has not reached this level of perfection. Ancient masters, not knowing anything about physical and chemical processes, developed their own technologies through trial and error, including the use of mercury as an adhesive, covered objects with the thinnest layer of precious metals.

Another example of amazing ancient technology from 2,000 years ago is the so-called Antikythera Mechanism, which consists of a complex combination of gears and is used to calculate the positions of celestial bodies. It is impossible to remain silent about another invention of the ancients - the Baghdad battery (the prototype of an electric battery). The Baghdad battery was a clay jug, in which a copper cylinder with an iron rod in the center was inserted. And although the level of technological sophistication of ancient scientists and artisans is amazing, there are still many questions about where this knowledge came from, ahead of its time.

It must be admitted that the ancient Romans can rightfully be considered pioneers in the development of nanotechnology - the mystery of the 1600-year-old cup remains unsolved. We are talking about the jade Cup of Lycurgus (the cup is decorated with scenes with the participation of King Lycurgus). When passing through the goblet of light, it changes its color from Green to blood red. Scientists have been trying to unravel the mystery of this phenomenon since 1950 - since this exhibit was acquired by one of the English museums. The researchers found that artisans, in the manufacture of the Lycurgus goblet, impregnated the material of the goblet with silver and gold microparticles 50 nanometers in size (for comparison, this is less than a thousandth of a grain of salt). It is believed that the Lycurgus Cup could be the key to creating a new ultra-sensitive technology that can diagnose human diseases, as well as carry out biohazard screening of luggage at checkpoints. But a completely legitimate question arises - how did the ancient Romans know about nanoparticle technology? And what was the true significance of the artifact of the 4th century during the time of King Lycurgus?

There is a lot of information about the Egyptian pyramids, but most often all the information can only be attributed to scientific guesses. After all, until now no one can say with certainty who actually was the builder of these grandiose structures. Egyptologists claim that at that time people lived in the "Bronze Age" and did not know what a wheel and iron were. The only thing they possessed at that time was a huge amount of labor force. And if, with some assumption, it can be assumed that the construction of the pyramids was carried out with the involvement of an unprecedented number of people, then no arguments can explain the level of astronomical and mathematical knowledge, as well as architecture and art that the Egyptians possessed.

So, in the Cairo Museum there are samples of stone products found at the pyramid in Saqqara (the pyramid of Pharaoh III of the Djoser dynasty) and on the Giza plateau, which bear signs of mechanical processing. Such circular grooves, applied to these stone products, could only be applied using a mechanism similar to a lathe. The same traces of processing were found on other finds dating back to the period of Ancient Egypt (for example, on a basalt bowl kept in the Petri Museum). The paradox lies in the fact that the most skillfully found items of household utensils belong to the earliest period of the ancient Egyptian civilization, and not only soft material - alabaster, but also granite was used for manufacturing.

The methods of processing granite products by ancient artisans raise many questions. For example, hollow products with a narrow and long neck are processed from the inside, which raises doubts about their manual manufacture. Many Egyptian finds have carved symbols on their surface with the names of rulers who reigned in the earliest period of Egyptian history. These primitive writings do not correlate in any way with the elegant samples on which they are applied. Most likely, these inscriptions can only be explained as later scrawled on items and indicating the names of their owners. But then again a lot of questions arise - who made them? when? where? as? Why were they in the Egyptian pyramids?
Traces of mechanical cutting on basalt are very clearly visible on the surviving samples of the Egyptian pyramids. There are even "fitting" cuts on the rocks, which could only be done with a stable and easy cutting tool. Another interesting detail of the processing of hard rocks by the ancient Egyptians is drilled holes.

So, on the tourist trail near the obelisk in Karnakh there is a fragment of a processed rock with holes 2 cm in diameter and 10 cm deep. Even a non-specialist can see that holes were drilled in granite with a tool that entered the hard rock like butter. These holes once again confirm the presence at that time of a high level of technology among the ancient builders of the pyramids.

Scientists have found a slab of black basalt, on which the trace of a circular saw is clearly visible. It is known that such a saw can operate on a pneumatic, hydraulic or electric drive. But the Egyptians did not have such an instrument then! The slab also shows that the sawing was followed by grinding, of very high quality and far superior to similar work done by hand: in this case, noticeable scratches would have remained. This quality of grinding can only be achieved with diamond saw blades moving at high speed.

The stone floor of the ruined temple in southern Saqqara causes considerable surprise. The stones were laid in various configurations, and then someone walked over them, perfectly aligning (similar to how floors are sanded today). Only the material for scraping is not wood, but granite!

It is impossible not to mention one more amazing fact. In Dashur, there are fragments of a sarcophagus, the inner corners of which are cut perfectly at right angles. And this processing is more like casting or stamping. But even modern technology does not allow to perform such work.

Of course, one could believe that the construction of the pyramids was carried out directly by the Egyptians, using a practically unlimited labor force, but the studied technological nuances of giant structures cast doubt on such a version.

Most Egyptian structures reach the height of a 50-story building, processed stone blocks weighing 100-200 tons at this height fit perfectly without any mortar. And the walls of the pyramid in Meidum, as it turned out, were leveled after the construction of the pyramid! The inclined surface of the pyramid was processed. Such work, without the use of special equipment and knowledge, is simply impossible. Today, such work can only be carried out using laser technology. So how could the ancient Egyptians deal with this?

As a result of excavations under the pyramid of Pharaoh Joser, a stone collection was found in the underground galleries, numbering more than 30 thousand items: stone plates 1.5 mm thick, stone vessels with a convex surface, objects very similar to laser discs with holes in middle and many other interesting things.

Russian Egyptologist Andrey Sklyarov believes that most of the Egyptian monuments were created by representatives of an ancient terrestrial civilization: “You can call them Atlanteans, you can call them aliens, you can somehow differently, but there are an incredible number of traces of their stay in Egypt. It is even strange that Egyptologists did not pay attention to this before. Although now I have the impression that the modern Egyptians guess something, but carefully hide the secret. The words of the Russian scientist are confirmed by the fact that the Great Sphinx, the creation of which was dated by Egyptologists to the years of the reign of Pharaoh Cheops, however, according to the records found on the “inventory stele”, on the orders of Cheops, it was only repaired, not erected. Consequently, the Great Sphinx was created long before the reign of Pharaoh Cheops. When they read this entry on the "inventory stele", they immediately hid it in the storerooms of the Cairo Museum, and put another one instead - the Egyptians decided to hide this interesting fact regarding the Great Sphinx.
Perhaps the answer may be given by the assumption that the Egyptian pyramids were built on the ruins of high-tech structures. This version can be supported by studies that have shown that the bases of the pyramids are made of powerful processed structures, and above there is a rough clay masonry of stones and raw bricks.

In Abydos there is a magnificent temple built from huge blocks. On its walls there are inscriptions testifying to the repairs carried out during the reign of the pharaohs. According to legends, it is here that the god Osiris rests. Egyptologists believe that the age of the building is at least 11 thousand years.

By the way, among other things, in Egypt there are many statues of gods, each of which weighs up to a thousand tons. Again, the question arises - how could such huge blocks of granite or quartzite be transported and installed?

Who was the real builder of the pyramids of ancient Egypt? An advanced civilization? Representatives of ancient Atlantis? Alien aliens? And for what purpose were mega-structures built almost all over the planet? Why do the myths of many peoples talk about the war of the gods? And all the ancient structures were very strong and reliable and could theoretically become shelters from a nuclear attack.

Also, for a long time it was believed that the megalithic structures in South America were built by the Incas. But now the version is completely different - the builders were some technically advanced unknown civilization. This is also confirmed by the presence of megalithic polygonal masonry, which is formed by huge blocks connected without the use of mortar, and most importantly without any gaps; depressions and holes in basalt blocks, as well as cuts that could only be made using high-tech equipment by transporting huge blocks over rough terrain at a distance of several tens of kilometers from the quarries; structures built into steep mountain slopes; the presence of a high level of polishing the walls of black basalt, the perfect pairing of joints and cuts made with high quality.

On the territory of Lebanon is the building of Baalbek, striking in its size. But of interest is the fact that the terrace of the temple, built of huge blocks, is much older than the temple itself. As a floor in the temple, nine rows of stone blocks are laid, each weighing about 300 tons. It is in this temple that there are three colossal blocks, called Trilithon - the Miracle of the Three Stones, each weighing 800 tons, 21 meters long, 5 meters high, 4 meters wide. Traces of machining are clearly visible on these miraculous stones, they are so precisely joined that even a knife blade cannot be inserted between them. The construction of Baalbek itself is much larger than the pyramid of Cheops. It is possible that at that time such a structure could only be built by representatives of an extraterrestrial civilization.

Archaeologists also know 13 crystal skulls found during excavations. Their origin is associated with the Mayan and Aztec cultures. The most interesting among them is the skull of Mitchell-Hodges ("the skull of fate"). Its feature is a removable jaw, the presence of a system of prisms, lenses and channels that create unusual optical effects. It is possible that the craftsmen used holographic technologies in its manufacture. Experts suggest that it was made 12 thousand years ago.

In the Qutub Minar Mosque (India, Delhi) there is a metal column, known as the "Pillar of Indra". The column was made 1500 years ago, its weight is 7 tons, height is 7.5 meters, diameter is 48 cm, it does not rust, it is made of pure iron - 99.7% with a low content of carbon, sulfur and phosphorus. Such a ratio can currently only be obtained in space conditions. No one can discover the secret of the anti-corrosion feature of this column. It is interesting that during the study of the lunar soil, iron was found in chemical composition similar to the Indian column. But at the time of the creation of the pillar of Indra, humanity did not have the technology to create such a "pure" iron.

In the jungles of Costa Rica in the 40s of the last century, giant stone balls were found that have an impeccable shape - a diameter of up to 3 meters, and the weight of the largest reaches 16 tons. Spheres of obsidian and granite were arranged in groups and singly, forming geometric shapes. They were well processed and had a smooth surface. Their age is about 12 thousand years and there are more than 300 of them. Similar balls have been found in Egypt, the mines of Western Mexico, Germany, Romania, Kazakhstan and Franz Josef Land. One version - the balls were landmarks for spacecraft.

When laying one of the tunnels in California, two mysterious cylinders were found, consisting of platinum and an unknown metal. When heated, for example, to 50 degrees, they are able to maintain this temperature for several hours, and then instantly cool down to air temperature. When current is passed through them, the cylinders change their silver color to black, and then return to their original color. Their age is approximately 25 million years.

From the foregoing, it is clear that humanity still knows very little about its history and that many discoveries and interesting finds are still waiting for us. It is possible that they will give a new impetus to earthlings in the development of new technologies.

Proponents of theories that modern civilization is by no means the first. And that before us on Earth there were more developed forms of mind often

They offer to get acquainted with eight very unusual objects that have been haunting scientists for decades.

1. Could ancient Peruvians soften stones?

Archaeologists and scientists are puzzled over how the mysterious structure of Sacsayhuaman in Peru was built. The giant stones that make up this unusual ancient fortress are so heavy that it would be difficult to transport and install them even with the help of modern technology.

Does the key to unraveling this mystery lie in the special equipment that the ancient Peruvians used to soften stone blocks, or is it all about the secret ancient technologies for melting stones? According to some researchers, the granite from which the walls of the fortress in Cusco were built was exposed to very high temperatures, so its outer surface became glassy and smooth.

The scientists concluded that the stones were softened using some kind of high-tech equipment, and then each block was polished to match the cuts of the adjacent stone, which is why they fit so tightly together.

2. Amazing acoustics of Hal-Saflieni

Hal-Saflieni is an underground cave system with an area of ​​about 500 meters, located on three tiers. Corridors and passages lead to small rooms that date back to 3000-2500 BC.

In this stone room you can hear incredible sound effects that have a certain effect on the human body. The sounds uttered in this room resonate throughout the room, and then, as it were, pierce through the human body.

Khal-Saflieni Hypogeum has a dark history. The researchers found on its territory the remains of more than 7,000 people, as well as many deep pits, crevices and even burial chambers. What experiments were carried out in this strange and mysterious place?

This amazing artifact proves that our ancestors were ahead of their time. The technique of making the goblet is so perfect that its craftsmen already at that time were familiar with what we today call nanotechnology.

This unusual and unique bowl, made of dichroic glass, is able to change its color depending on the lighting - for example, from green to bright red. This unusual effect occurs due to the fact that dichroic glass contains a small amount of colloidal gold and silver.

4. Ancient Baghdad batteries

Scientists suggest that this small and unremarkable artifact is an example of a source of electricity in the ancient world. We are talking about the so-called "Baghdad battery" of the Parthian period.

An electric battery, made about 2,000 years ago, was discovered in 1936 by railway workers in the Kujut Rabu area near Baghdad. It is believed that the world's first known electric battery - the Voltaic column - was invented by the Italian physicist Alessandro Volt only in 1799, while most sources indicate that the Baghdad battery dates back to about 200 BC.

5 Incredible Ancient Metal Wonders

High-tech methods of hardening and processing large pieces of metal were widely used already in ancient times. Our ancestors had extremely sophisticated scientific knowledge of metalworking, inherited from earlier civilizations, as evidenced by artifacts found around the world.

Metallurgical technologies were known as far back as Ancient China, and it was one of the first civilizations where cast iron was made.

In ancient India, they knew how to produce iron that did not rust due to its high phosphorus content. One of these iron columns, 7 meters high and weighing about 6 tons, is installed in front of the Qutub Minar in Delhi, India.

6 Evidence Of Stone Drilling Technology Found All Over The World

Already in ancient times, builders were able to make perfectly round holes in stones and hard rocks. This impressive technique testifies that our ancestors were familiar with the most complex technologies - the creation of such large holes is impossible without engineering skills and the availability of the necessary drilling equipment.

7. Ancient and complex mercury-based gilding techniques that modern technology has not yet reached

Already in ancient times, jewelers who worked with silver and gold used mercury to gild domes and interiors in many countries of the ancient world. These complex processes were used to produce and cover items such as jewelry, figurines, and amulets.

From a technological point of view, already 2000 years ago, ancient craftsmen managed to make these metal coatings incredibly thin and strong, which saved precious metals and improved their durability.

Recent discoveries testify to a high level of competence of ancient artisans, which even modern technology has not yet reached.

Source 8Ancient Computer: Antikythera's Mysterious Mechanism Is Still Full of Mysteries

In 1900, an unusual bronze object of unknown purpose was discovered near the small island of Antikythera, 25 miles northwest of Crete. After curious scientists pulled this artifact out of the water and cleaned it, they discovered parts of some complex mechanism consisting of different gears.

The ideally even disks of this mechanism and the remains of the inscriptions, in all likelihood, correspond to its main function. Most likely, the mechanism is an astronomical clock without a pendulum, but not a single mention of this ancient “computer” has been found in both Greek and Roman literature. The artifact was discovered next to a ship that sank presumably in the 1st century BC.

A. Sklyarov never made it to India. Life was cut short, there was not enough time to show much more in this corner of the ancient cultures and civilizations of the Earth. Artifacts, high-tech traces of stone processing there are no less than in Egypt and Turkey. I offer for review the video of one Indian researcher:

India. Officially 12th century. The use of lathes and cutters for stone carving is obvious.

Photo of modern equipment for comparison:

But processing such volumes in stone is very expensive and costly. As a rule, segments of composite columns are made, for example:

A modern analogue of the manufacture of the column, but only its segment. Multi-meter columns are not made, it is too difficult.

The rectangles on the disk elements of the columns are interesting. What are they for? Aesthetics are not attached.
Maybe the grooves in the columns are places for winding. Are all these temples transformers or even generators of electrical energy? The metal was removed by the natives, who began to live in this territory after (after the cataclysm or the departure of the Gods)

If we talk about the cargo cult, then the following comparisons are not excluded:

Modern pore adjustable floors. Perhaps the ancient builders poured the interfloor ceilings in the same way. And later this was imitated by other residents who had already lost all meaning. But still had high-tech equipment for making such.

Modern power transformer. Then all the temples with such columns are an imitation of the natives seen in the past with the Gods.

There is also a rectangular base at the bottom.

Let's continue watching videos:

A model that probably recreates the process of making circle marks on rocks.

Vertically manufactured column in China. Most likely, they did it in India. So you need simpler equipment and a less demanding bearing (sliding bearing) at the bottom.

Screenshot from video:

Granite temple, sandstone chain. How did you connect without taking into account that this is a casting?

In conclusion, I want to add that I do not exclude the option of casting many stone products and elements. It makes no sense to carry black basalt thousands of kilometers away. It is easier to cast an imitation for it (if it was necessary and the technology was available).
