The shroud of Jesus in Turin

Lirey-Chambery-Turin's shroud is one of the most carefully studied objects in human history. According to legend, Jesus was betrayed by the thirteenth disciple and was crucified. Three days after his death, he came back to life and put down the shroud that once wrapped his body.

The shroud has always been regarded as a miracle by Christians and one of the great proofs of Jesus' existence, and the Vatican has long acknowledged that the shroud is a miracle.

On the shroud of 3× 14 feet, you can see the outline of Jesus, so detailed that you can see the lips clearly, but the whole linen has no side outline including ears and shoulders. His body, cheeks, arms and fingers are longer than normal, while his left forearm is longer than his right hand. The image of the shroud only changed the color of the surface and did not penetrate into the cloth, so there was no image of Jesus on the back of the linen. Strangely, the appearance displayed in the form of photographic film is extremely clear and stereoscopic (computer repair). In addition, it is worth noting that Jesus died in 36 AD, but there was no detailed historical document about the shroud until 1356.

Second, the footprint of prehistoric super-civilization on trilobites.

1938 Dr. Burroughs, head of the Department of Geology at Bailey College in Kentucky, announced that he had found 10 human footprints in Carboniferous sandstone. Microscopic photos and infrared photos prove that these footprints are naturally caused by human foot pressure, not artificially carved. It is estimated that these rocks with human footprints are about 250 million years old. Previously, a pair of human footprints were found on a rock on the west bank of the Mississippi River in St. Louis, USA. According to geologists, this rock is about 270 million years old. The strangest discovery was in Antelope Springs, Utah, USA. Amateur fossil lover Mister discovered several trilobite fossils in June 1968. He described that when he struck a stone with a geological hammer, it "opened like a book". I was surprised to find that one piece had a man's footprint on it, a trilobite in the middle, and the other piece also showed almost perfect footprint shape. What is even more surprising is that those people are wearing casual shoes! "Later, in July of 1968, the famous geologist Dr. Batica visited Antelope Spring and found another child's footprint. 1968 In August, Walter, an educator in Salt Lake City Public School, found two footprints of human shoes in the same rock containing trilobite fossils. All these discoveries, identified by relevant scholars, are considered beyond doubt and are a serious challenge to traditional geology. Ma Desheng, director of the Earth Science Museum of the University of Utah, said at the press conference that "there were no human beings on the earth, and no monkeys, bears or lazy animals could make footprints similar to human beings. So, before even vertebrates evolved, which humanoid animals would walk on this planet? " Trilobites are tiny marine invertebrates, similar to shrimps and crabs. The existence time on the earth began 600 million years ago and died out 280 million years ago. In contrast, human history is very short. As for putting on decent shoes, it's only been more than three thousand years. What is the explanation for all this? Nuclear reactors 2 billion years ago

Atomic energy technology is a high-tech technology that human beings have only begun to master in recent decades, but in Africa, nuclear reactors were discovered 2 billion years ago! A factory in France used Oklo uranium ore imported from Gabon, Africa. They were surprised to find that the imported uranium ore had been used. The uranium content of uranium ore is generally 0.72%, while the uranium content of Oklo uranium ore is less than 0.3%. This strange phenomenon has attracted the attention of scientists. They visited Oklo uranium mine in Gabon one after another and found an incredible prehistoric relic-an ancient nuclear reactor, which consists of about 500 tons of uranium ore in six regions, and its output power is estimated to be 100 kW. This reactor is well preserved and reasonable in structure, and has been in operation for 500,000 years. According to textual research, the mineralization age of Okulu uranium mine was about 2 billion years ago, and this nuclear reactor was established shortly after mineralization. Humans began to use fire hundreds of thousands of years ago. So, who left this ancient nuclear reactor? Is it the work of aliens or the remains of the last generation of earth civilization? Artifacts in ores

Humans have only learned to make tools for hundreds of thousands of years. However, man-made things have been found in ores formed tens of millions or even hundreds of millions of years ago. 1844, miners near the Tweed River in Scotland found a gold thread hidden in a rock 8 feet underground. 1845, Sir Brewster of England reported that an iron nail was found in the stone of a quarry in Jinggudi, Scotland, and one end of the iron nail was embedded in the stone. 185 1 year, an explosion occurred in the town of Dorchester, Massachusetts, USA, and two pieces of metal were blown out of the solid bedrock. When folded, these two pieces turned out to be a bell-shaped vessel, with a height of 12cm and a width of 17cm. It is made of some kind of metal, a bit like zinc or zinc-silver alloy. The surface is engraved with six flower-shaped patterns, the stamens are inlaid with pure silver, and the bottom is engraved with vine garlands, which is praised as "exquisite" by local newspapers. 1852, in a coal mine in Scotland, a piece of iron shaped like a drill was found in a large piece of coal. The surface of the coal block was not damaged and no holes could be found. 1885, workers in a workshop in Australia found a shiny metal object while smashing coal. It is a parallelepiped with two convex sides and four deep grooves on the other sides, which makes it impossible to deny that it is an artificial object. 189 1 year, when Mrs. kolp was crushing coal, she found an iron chain in the coal, both ends of which were embedded in two pieces of coal. These two pieces of coal used to be a whole, but they were separated only when they were broken. 196 1 year, Lanny, Mikel and Maxi, three partners of Lohens Gem Gift Shop in Orania, California, USA, found a fossil on a mountain at an altitude of 4,300 feet. When they saw the fossils with diamonds, the saw blade was damaged by something hard. After opening it, they found a "crystal hole" in the fossil, which contained something similar to a car spark plug. There is a metal core in the middle and a ceramic ring wrapped outside. There is a woodcut hexagonal sleeve fossil outside the collar, and there are hard mud, gravel and shell fossil fragments outside the sleeve. Geologists estimate that this fossil was formed 500,000 years ago. And where did the spark plug come from 500 thousand years ago?

Three incredible remains of prehistoric civilization

About 750 miles off the east coast of Australia and 40 miles south of New Caledonia, there is an island called Pine. There are more than 400 ancient mounds on the island, made of sand and stone, 8 to 9 feet high and 300 feet in diameter. Nothing grows on the tomb, and no remains can be found in the tomb. Among the three ancient tombs, only one upright concrete cylinder was found in each. Two cement columns were found side by side in another ancient tomb. These cylinders range in diameter from 40 inches to 75 inches and in height from 40 inches to 100 inch. These cylinders were determined by radioisotope carbon test from 1095 BC to 5 120 BC. Before man invented cement, who used cement? What's the use of these pillars? Why can't you find any related human remains nearby? A secret tunnel system was discovered in South America. The secret entrance of this tunnel system is guarded by an Indian tribe and leads to 250 meters underground. The inner wall of the tunnel is smooth and the top is flat. There are several wide hall holes, as huge as a jet hangar. In a hall 153m wide and 164m long, there is a table and seven chairs. I don't know what material these desks and chairs are made of, like stone but not cold, like plastic but as hard as steel. In Florida, Georgia and South Carolina, people found a flat avenue with a wide road surface. After the submarine is equipped with wheels, it can run on the avenue like a bus.

Four super-era technologies

Topca Palace in Istanbul has a strange ancient map. This ancient map was discovered at the beginning of18th century. It seems to be copied. On the map, only the Mediterranean region is very accurate, and other regions, such as America and Africa, are seriously deformed. However, when scientists studied further, they were surprised to find that this ancient map was actually a bird's eye view. Compared with the photos of the Earth taken by the apollo 8 spacecraft, this ancient Turkish map is like a copy of it. The deformed outlines of America and Africa on the map are completely consistent with the photos taken by Apollo spacecraft. What is particularly surprising is that the ancient map also depicts the complex landforms covered by Antarctic ice, which is no different from the exploration map of Antarctic subglacial topography drawn by 1952 with echo sounder. Who has mastered the high technology of space aerial photography since ancient times? On the Lake Titicaca Plateau in South America, there is a huge statue carved from a whole piece of red sandstone in the mysterious ruins of the ancient city of Abala. The statue is engraved with a complete map of the sky and hundreds of symbols. After years of research, archaeologists finally deciphered the star map and symbols. They think that this star map depicts the ancient starry sky 27 thousand years ago, and those symbols describe extremely profound astronomical knowledge. This knowledge is beyond the grasp of modern humans. How did ancient humans who lived on Lake Titicaca in South America tens of thousands of years ago master astronomical knowledge beyond modern humans? What's more strange is that in 192 1 year, a Gunid skull was found in Zambia, Africa. There is a round hole with a smooth edge on the left side of the skull, which can only be formed by bullet shooting. According to research, Gunide people lived in the middle of Paleolithic Age, about 70,000 years ago. At that time, man had just learned to use a stone axe!

In addition, in an ancient tomb on the outskirts of Baghdad, scientists found a set of chemical batteries 2,000 years ago. They successfully obtained a voltage of 0.5 volts by imitating ancient batteries, and continued to work for 18 days. The first battery recognized in the world was invented in 1800, less than 200 years ago. In the Egyptian pyramids, archaeologists found an artificial heart from the left breast of a boy mummy. Modern medicine has only developed and used artificial hearts for more than ten years, but this mummy's artificial heart was implanted into a boy's chest through precision surgery five thousand years ago!

5. Is there a prehistoric super-civilization?

Some scientists believe that there are two explanations for the above mystery of super-civilization. One is the trace left by the alien's visit to the earth, and the other is the prehistoric super-civilization of pre-advanced human beings before modern human civilization. More and more people believe the latter explanation, and some scientists put forward the evolution theory of the earth civilization cycle. Bioarchaeologists believe that in the 4.5 billion-year history since the birth of the earth, life on the earth has experienced five mass extinctions, life and death, and the last mass extinction occurred 65 million years ago. Some people infer that there were advanced civilized creatures on the earth 2 billion years ago, but unfortunately they were destroyed by a nuclear war or a huge natural disaster. Hundreds of millions of years have passed, almost erasing all traces of civilization, leaving only a few remains, which has become a mystery of modern human beings. Others believe that the destruction of advanced civilizations before was due to the periodic changes of the earth's climate. Or because the earth's magnetic field disappears periodically. When the solar system moves to a specific position in space, there will be a climate on the earth that is not suitable for human survival. The extinction of dinosaurs 65 million years ago is an example. This periodic climate change on the earth will lead to the periodic origin and evolution of advanced intelligent creatures. Of course, these are just family opinions, or just some guesses. However, the mystery of super civilization is really worth exploring. ...

The mystery in the Bible The Bible is one of the most widely distributed and circulated books in the world. It is a Christian religious classic and a detailed chronicle of the ancient Middle East, especially the Jewish people. The term "Bible" was used by john cleese, Archbishop of Constantinople in the 4th century. He called all the holy books of the Jews "the Bible". There are many historical legends of the ancient Jewish people in the Bible, often with some mythical colors. People once thought that they were the product of ancient people's imagination. However, with the in-depth development of science, people re-examine the Bible and find that these myths and legends contain some true records beyond the vision of the times. The description of Ezekiel in the first to third chapters of the Old Testament is considered to be one of the earliest records of UFOs. Five years after King jehoiachin, a Jew, was kidnapped by King Nebuchadnezzar of Babylon (that is, 592 BC), a strange "flying machine" appeared in the sky and landed on the Kabaru River in Chaldea (present-day Iraq). Ezekiel wrote, "I watched and saw a strong wind blowing from the north. With a large cloud including a flicker and light around it, the road glows from the fire. What kind of aircraft can fan up strong winds, shine and spray flames? Ezekiel said, "Four living creatures appeared from there. Their shape is like this. Man has four faces and four wings. Their legs are straight. The soles of the feet are like calves' hooves, all shining like bright bronze. There are human hands under all four wings. ..... Don't turn around when you walk, everyone keeps going. ..... the living things run around like lightning. " Ezekiel watched them very carefully. He didn't say they were "people". What are these "humanoid life forms"? Is it an alien creature wearing a space helmet, a spacesuit and a flying device, or a space robot commanded by some kind of remote control? Ezekiel also wrote the following words ... beside the face of the living creature, there was a wheel on the ground. The wheel is shaped and colored like beryl. ..... just like a wheel in a wheel, when the wheel walks, it can go straight in all directions without turning. There are eyes around the four wheels. When creatures walk, wheels walk beside them. When the living creatures get up from the ground, the wheels follow. "Is this some kind of dish or propeller plane? Are the eyes on the roller the porthole of the plane? Then Ezekiel "heard another voice", which told Ezekiel to pass this voice on to his people as God had sent him. He was taken to the plane, and the plane took off: "I heard the wings of the living creatures collide again, and the wheels next to the living creatures rotated and vibrated." "So the spirit lifted me up and took me away ..." The plane took ezekiel to Ticambia, where his exiled compatriots lived, and ezekiel "sat among them for seven days". Was Ezekiel's experience a flying saucer ride? Bloomrich, an expert from the National Aeronautics and Space Administration of the United States, thought and calculated the aircraft provided by Ezekiel and wrote a book called "The Opening of the Sky". He thinks that the spaceship described by Ezekiel has a very credible degree. Within a few decades, human technology will be able to make that kind of spacecraft. Another description in the Bible that has aroused many people's interest is Genesis Chapter 19 of the Old Testament. God wants to destroy Sodom and Gomorrah in Sin City. He sent two angels to inform Lot and his family to escape from here. The angel led Lot's family outside the city and said to them, "Run for your lives. Don't look back, don't stand on the plain and run to the mountain. " When they fled, they said, "When the Lord rained sulfur and fire from heaven on Sodom and Gomorrah, he destroyed those cities and plains, as well as all the residents in those cities, even everything that grew on the ground. Lot's wife, Tian Tou, saw it and became a pillar of salt. Abraham got up early in the morning and came to the place where he had stood before the Lord. He looked at Sodom, Gomorrah and all the plains, but at the place. Why did the two angels emphasize to Rod's family that "you can't turn back or stand on the plain"? What weapon can God use to completely destroy two cities in an instant? Why did Lot's wife look back and bring disaster? Why did two destroyed cities rise angrily? It was not until 1944 that Hiroshima and Yongjin were bombed into ruins by American atomic bombs that someone suddenly realized that only the atomic bomb could destroy the whole city at once, only the light radiation of the atomic bomb could cause fatal damage to the people watching, only escaping from the plain could avoid the damage of the shock wave when the atomic bomb exploded, and only the explosion of the atomic bomb could form a smoke cloud that rose into the sky and could be seen from far away places. Ancient people may think of fire, thunder and lightning, flood and plague when they talk about disasters from gods, but it is hard to say that they can accurately imagine some high-tech weapon out of thin air! Destructive consequences. Thanks to the prophets of the ancient Jewish nation, who faithfully and concretely recorded the events they didn't understand at that time, so that people today can rethink when facing all this.

Six smiles touching the mystery of female corpse in Xiaohe cemetery in Xinjiang

It seems that my eyes are slightly open, as if I just gave a glad eye to the right man; Lovely eyelashes, still hanging wine after sleeping; The dusty face under the peaked felt hat revealed a frozen mysterious smile. Who is she?

At the moment when the boat-shaped coffin was opened, the woman "as long as she turned her head and smiled, there were a hundred spells" suddenly appeared in the mind of archaeologists.

From June last year 10 to June this year 10, the Xiaohe Archaeological Team, headed by Idris, the director of Xinjiang Institute of Cultural Relics and Archaeology, excavated this mysterious cemetery and solved the heavy fog hanging over it.

The discovery of Xiaohe cemetery

1934, Begemann, a Swedish archaeologist, introduced to the western world a smiling female mummy he found in the hinterland of Central Asia: "Noble clothes, long black hair, a pointed felt hat decorated with a red headband in the middle, eyes slightly closed, as if just sleeping, beautiful aquiline nose, slightly parted lips and exposed teeth, leaving an eternal smile for future generations."

As a member of the northwest joint investigation team organized by Sven Hedin, Begemann discovered an ancient tomb group with "thousands of coffins" in Lop Nur, Xinjiang. Begemann named it Xiaohe Cemetery. This mummy woman comes from there.

However, Xiaohe Cemetery mysteriously disappeared in the sand sea after arriving in Begemann, and no one can find it again in the following 66 years.

At that time, Begemann only made a rough work in Xiaohe, excavated 12 tombs and brought back more than 200 cultural relics. Compared with a huge group of ancient tombs described by Begemann, these things are too simple. However, these simple discoveries have made Xiaohe cemetery the focus of world archaeology, and people are looking for and exploring, hoping for new discoveries.

Brief report on excavation of Xiaohe cemetery

Seventy years later, when another mummified woman reappeared in the hands of archaeologists with a mysterious smile, Xiaohe, a cemetery that has worried the world for more than half a century, finally revealed many doubts.

Xiaohe cemetery is composed of several layers of tombs and other relics, showing an oval sand mountain in the northeast-southwest direction. Before the excavation, there were 140 wooden pillars on the surface of Shashan Mountain, and there was a row of well-preserved wooden fence walls in the middle of the cemetery and at the western end of the cemetery.

Archaeologists have comprehensively exposed the remains of the upper two floors in the west of the cemetery, excavated 33 tombs, and obtained 15 mummies with well-preserved costumes,/kloc-0 mummies with male mummies and/kloc-0 mummies with wooden corpses, and excavated and collected nearly 1,000 cultural relics, many of which are rare in the world.

The tomb is full of vertical holes and bunkers, and wooden coffins are placed in the tomb. Coffins are basically uniform in shape, and they are all cut from complete Hu Yangmu side plates and made into straight plates. The two sides of the coffin are relatively combined, and the two ends are wedged into vertical baffles. The coffin is covered with a plurality of transverse small wooden boards, and the wooden boards are covered with cowhide. Put a handful of red willow branches in the middle of cowhide, usually 12 red willow branches, and add a reed.

Mystery of Xiaohe cemetery

To archaeologists' surprise, different shapes of stumps were erected in front of the wooden coffin, and red willow branches were erected behind the wooden coffin. In front of the female coffin, there are basically polygonal wooden columns with thick top and thin bottom, and the upper part is painted red, and the hair rope is wound to fix the straw bundle. There is a standing wood in front of the male coffin, which looks like a wooden paddle. The size varies greatly. It is painted black and the handle is painted red. According to analysis, these stumps are probably symbols of "male roots" and "female yin".

Mummies' faces and bodies are generally found to be coated with milky white paste. I don't know whether it is used for anticorrosion or other purposes.

There are two amazing corpse specimens, one is a wooden corpse that looks like a dwarf, and the other is a corpse composed of a mummy's head, two arms, a woodcarving trunk and lower limbs.

Archaeologists conducted a preliminary investigation on the surrounding environment and ancient sites of Xiaohe cemetery, found 22 sites and cemeteries, and collected nearly 100 cultural relics such as pottery, stone, copper, iron and jade. Preliminary analysis shows that these remains are from the Han and Jin Dynasties.

Archaeologist's inference

Judging from the coordinates and distribution of these ancient sites calibrated by satellite locator, Xiaohe Cemetery actually marks a north-south traffic line that intersects with the famous Loulan Road in the north of Lop Nur. Thick dead trees of Populus euphratica were found within one kilometer northeast of the cemetery, and some trees were cut down, leaving only neat roots, indicating that it was once an oasis with lush trees.

Archaeologists speculate that the age of Xiaohe cemetery is lower than that of Gugou tombs (3800 years ago), and the upper limit may be equal to or earlier.

Archaeologists infer that there is an archaeological culture with unique cultural features in this area, such as erect trees, tall wood carvings, small wood carvings, carved wooden arrows, ghost bows, wooden ancestors, ephedra bundles, painted red bull heads, snake-shaped wooden poles and other cultural relics symbolizing male roots and female genitals. Xiaohe cemetery is the most important cemetery in this archaeological culture found at present, and its excavation will greatly expand the field of vision of prehistoric culture research in Xinjiang.

June 5438+this year 10, Director Idris led the archaeological team into Xiaohe cemetery again. They are looking forward to more updates and discoveries, and fully unveil the heavy mystery of Xiaohe cemetery.

bemuda triangle

Traveling to Bermuda is dangerous. At least that's what someone said. In the so-called Bermuda Triangle, not only a large number of shipwrecks have been recorded, but the most puzzling thing is that the missing persons generally do not send out any emergency signals or leave any traces. In this mysterious area between Rico Harbor, Florida and Bermuda, there have been many unexplained sensational events, one of which is the so-called "19 flight".

1945 In February, a squadron composed of five American planes disappeared here, leaving no trace, and even the plane searching for them disappeared. Some missing ships reappear in a certain place after weeks or months, but the people on board disappear without a trace.

People often take special atmospheric interference, confusing magnetic field force, strange time change and even alien kidnapping as the explanations of such events. Therefore, Bermuda has become one of the hot topics for psychics and UFO scouts. Some people say that this is purely speculation, and the real cause of this kind of unfortunate accident is the comprehensive effect caused by accidental events and storms, technical problems and human sensory failure.
