Top 10 Most Mysterious Prehistoric Artifacts

These artifacts prove that before the emergence of human civilization, there may have existed another world ruled by intelligent beings, whose civilization was once highly developed but eventually became extinct.

1, South African metal grooved balls

More than a decade ago, miners in South Africa dug up some mysterious metal balls. Their origin is not known, these balls are about 1 inch in diameter, and some of them have three parallel grooves carved near the "equator". There are two types of these balls: one is solid blue metal with white spots; the other is hollow and filled with a soft white substance. These metallic balls are said to have been discovered in the Precambrian layer, 2.8 billion years ago!

Metallic Fluted Balls

Metallic balls come from a mine of foliated waxes near Ottosdal in the Transvaal, South Africa. They are naturally occurring and *** there are two types: the more shallowly buried balls are exposed to the chlorite and are acicular iron ore nodules; the deeper buried balls do not touch the chlorite and are pyrite nodules. Geologists believe that the source of foliation is prehistoric deposits of clay or volcanic ash, those sediments encountered a certain pressure and temperature in the process of burial, slowly turned into foliation, geologically called "metamorphism"; pyrite nodules are a common form of pyrite existence, also formed by metamorphism; acicular iron ore nodules (FeO(OH)) is pyrite nodules (FeS2) encountered (FeS2) encountered by pyrite nodules (FeS2), and chlorite (Al2Si4O10(OH)2), resulting in a chemical reaction. Of these substances, only clay or volcanic ash is 2.8 billion years old, and both foliated waxite and pyrite nodules are somewhat later, with acicular iron ore nodules being even later than pyrite nodules.

Metallic grooved balls

Some of these are said to have grooves running in a circular pattern, but the naturally occurring nodules have no grooves, so it has been suggested that they represent a prehistoric civilization. Of course, one could also hypothesize that someone withered and carved grooves into some of the iron nodules before burying them in the ground, but after billions of years of metamorphism, those grooves would have been smoothed out. In fact, nothing stays intact under strong metamorphism. So when you see these grooves in modern times, you can say: they are indeed man-made, but after the iron nodules were dug out. Who, and for what, made these balls, cannot now be known.

2, China's Chuloba stone disk

In 1938, Chinese archaeologists Ji Potai and others to the southern Qinghai Bayan Kara Mountains region to study, in a less conspicuous cave **** dug out 716 granite round body, the middle slightly four no holes, the thickness of each piece of about 2 centimeters, from the middle of the radiation to the surroundings of the many very regular ripples of the water waves lines, very similar to the modern laser Records, it is also engraved with many modern people can not decipher a variety of symbols.

After determination, these stone disk is about 10,000 years ago. Later, the discs were transferred to the Soviet Union, where scientific analyses in Moscow showed that the discs contained large amounts of diamonds and other metal elements, and that the discs oscillated at a particularly high frequency, suggesting that they had been used for a long time in a high-voltage, as if the discs were once electrically charged or part of some kind of electrical circuit.

The Jurupa Disk

In 1962, a Chinese scholar, Prof. Xu Hongru, based on ancient local legends, finally deciphered the symbols on the disk after a long study, which read: "The Troopers came from the clouds in an ancient airship, which was damaged when it landed, and the Troopers had to hide in the caves. In the Ba Yan Ka La mountain area has been circulating about the Troopa people of various legends. In fact, in the Tibetan region did once live in two very special tribes, one called Zhu Luoba, a called Kangba, these two tribes of human race and the rest of the world are not the same as the human race, they live in the Ba Yan Ka La mountain area, the average height of 1.2 meters, skinny and soft, thin bones, orbital orbital oddly large, the brain capacity is larger than the average of the general population of 100 milliliters, and the blood type is unique. The two tribes were first discovered in 1935 and were visited by an expedition in 1950, but the results are unknown. It has been reported that archaeologists have recently come up with fossils of short-statured humanoids in this area, which are very similar to the legendary Troopas and the Jurupa and Kamba people found. Are these Troopas earthlings? Could humans have built spaceships more than 10,000 years ago?

3, Peru Ica stone carvings

In the northern part of the Nazca plains in Peru there is a small village called Ica (ICA) has a stone museum. The museum displays more than 10,000 pieces of engraved with the mysterious stone of the Eucalyptus, which withered many incredible pictures, the record is an extremely advanced ancient civilization has disappeared, these stone paintings are known as the ICA stone carvings. These stones, known as the ICA Stones, were discovered in large numbers when the Ica River burst its banks. The engraved stones are categorized according to the type of the image into space galaxies, ancient animals, prehistoric continents, ancient catastrophes, etc. This classification is completely out of touch with modern science. This categorization is completely out of touch with modern science and seems to be talking about a completely new subject.

Ica Carvings

The treasured stones are presumed to be thousands of years old. Experts analyzed the engraved stones, which were found to be a type of Andean stone from local rivers, covered with a layer of oxides. German scientists have identified the engravings as extremely old, and the cave where they were found is dotted with fossils of creatures millions of years old.

Collector of Ica stone carvings

The most incredible thing is that the ancient people who carved the stones, called "Gritolisiks" by scientists, had an extremely advanced civilization as shown by the carvings' illustrations. The carvings depict organ transplants, blood transfusions, telescopes, medical equipment, and people chasing dinosaurs. ......

The Ica stone carvings depict a man riding on the back of a dinosaur (Triceratops), and in these stone drawings, people can clearly see people living with dinosaurs. In terms of scale, the ratio between human and dinosaur is not too different, it is about the ratio between modern human and domestic animal, and the dinosaur looks like a kind of domestic animal, or an animal domesticated by people at that time, and almost all of the more famous types of dinosaurs have appeared in these stone carvings.

4. Greek Antikythera Mechanism

The Antikythera Mechanism is the earliest known device to contain a complex gear system, and it was discovered on a shipwrecked ship in 1901, but until now, its purpose has remained a mystery. Although only 82 brass fragments of the discovered Antikythera Mechanism remain, scientists from the United Kingdom, Greece, and the United States have replicated a model of it using high-resolution X-ray tomography scanning. They believe the research will make people reconsider the level of technology in ancient Greece.

Antikythera calculator

Edmonds, a professor of astrophysics at Cardiff University, said it could be called the first known calculator. Our recent research has used very modern techniques that we believe have revealed its true purpose.The Antikythera Mechanism is capable of addition, subtraction, multiplication, and division, of drawing up calendars, and of displaying the positions of the sun and the moon. Edmonds and his colleagues discovered that Antikythera Mechanism has a dial that can predict when a solar or lunar eclipse might occur.

Antikythera Mechanism also takes into account the elliptical orbit of the moon. What makes it special is that the ancient Greeks were already able to make such a sophisticated technological device, and it was made of metal. The model shows the Antikythera Mechanism with 37 gears mounted in a wooden container, with texts related to the movement of the celestial bodies engraved on the exterior. In a paper published in the journal Nature, Francois, of Germany's Ludwig-Maximilians University, said the model provides a wealth of information for future research.

He said the newly deciphered text related to the motion of celestial bodies seems to indicate that Antikythera Mechanism is able to predict the motion of planets. Edmonds called Antikythera Mechanism unique, with no other technology comparable in the history of astronomy. Until the advent of the great bells used in medieval churches, we had not found a similarly complex mechanism.

5, Baghdad, Iraq battery

One day in June 1936, a group of road construction workers are building a railroad outside Baghdad, the capital of Iraq, suddenly found a huge slab of stone, which is engraved with a number of ancient Persian characters. The workers were amazed. They continued to dig deeper, and it turned out to be an ancient tomb made of a huge hundred slabs. The ancient tomb alarmed the archaeological staff of the Ibituk Museum. They immediately rushed to the site for excavation.

Baghdad Battery

After more than two months of hard work, the archaeologists found many artifacts. In particular, after opening the sarcophagus, a large number of artifacts dating from 248 B.C. to 226 B.C. during the era of the Persian dynasty were found. Among these antiquities, some peculiar pottery vessels, rusted copper pipes and iron rods were found.

Wilhelm Kavigner, a German archaeologist who was director of the Iraq Museum at the time, describes it this way: "The earthenware vessel resembles a vase, 15 centimeters high, white with a little bit of tantalizing yellow, with broken edges. The upper end is mouth-shaped and the vase is filled with pitch. In the middle of the pitch was a copper tube, 2.6 centimeters in diameter and 9 centimeters high, with a layer of pitch insulator at the top of the tube. In the copper tube there was another layer of bitumen and a rusty iron rod. The iron rod was one centimeter above the asphalt insulator and was covered by a grayish-yellowish substance that looked as if it were a layer of lead. The lower end of the iron bank grew 3 centimeters beyond the base of the copper pipe, separating the iron rod from the copper pipe. It looked as if it was a set of chemical instruments." After the identification, Kavignag announced the startling news: "The ceramic vessel unearthed in Baghdad is an ancient chemical battery. By adding an acid solution or an alkaline solution, it can emit electricity."

Diagram of how the battery works

Cavinillo's assertion shocked the archaeological community. If it is recognized that this is an ancient battery, it means that the Persians who inhabited the area as early as the 3rd century B.C. were already using batteries. This is more than 2,000 years before the first battery was invented in 1800 A.D. by the world-famous physicist Volt. As a result, many archaeologists have come from all over the world to scrutinize this ancient electric land. But just then, both the kavinig and the ancient battery disappeared. People searched around in vain.

It turned out that Kavignagh had quietly returned to Germany with the Baghdad battery. He assembled 10 batteries from the pottery vessels, iron rods, pitch insulators and copper tubing he brought with him. A few months later, Kavignagh made an even more startling announcement in Berlin. He said, "It is probable that the ancients connected these batteries in series to strengthen the electricity, and that the purpose of making such batteries was to gild statues and ornaments by electrolysis." Some have accused Kavignag of being a fraud and a psychopath. The archaeological debate was even more heated. To this day, the matter remains an open question.

6, U.S. Coso artificial objects

In the United States, California, Olancha (Olancha), Wallace Lane (Wallace Lane), Mike Mikesell (Mike Mikesell) and Virginia Maxey (Virginia Maxey) 3 **** with the same operation of a sale of souvenirs and gemstone store.

On Feb. 13, 1961, the three men went to Coso Mountain to collect crystals. Crystals are spherical, hollow stones with crystal streaks. Near the summit of Coso, Maxell was the first to find a strange, extremely hard crystal, about 1,300 meters above sea level and 110 meters above the dry Owens River bed.

The complex structure was visible under x-rays

After struggling with it and nearly breaking a new diamond saw blade, Maxell didn't see any of the features that characterize most crystals, and the incision appeared to be more like the remains of some kind of mechanical device: the outermost layer was a mixture of clay, pebbles, and fossilized stone, followed by hexahedra with a texture that was very close to corroded copper, encased in a layer that looked like the remains of a mechanical mechanism. hexahedron, encased in a white porcelain-like substance, and in the very center a 2 mm shaft of bright copper-colored magnetic metal. The structure gives the impression that it is a very complex man-made object, but this is impossible, as the crystals from Coso date back to 500,000 years ago.

Experts' explanation

The mysterious substance contained in the stone is now widely known: it is an old-fashioned spark plug used in internal combustion engines. It has also been officially named the Coso Artifact by the Americans. However, many people still believe that Coso crystals are OOPARTS (short for Out of Place Artifacts), meaning processed objects unearthed in places where they should not be. The term was coined by the American naturalist Ivan

Sanderson, primarily in response to man-made objects that have been unearthed in recent years from ancient strata and have come to resemble fossilized plants and animals. Sanderson blindly believes that these objects are extraordinary and accuses scientists of concealing the fact that life on Earth appeared much earlier than imagined, and even more differently than depicted in the book. Thus, alien visitation is not ruled out either.

This stone could be considered the first 'official' Opaz. However, its mystery is fading with each passing day as research is carried out. A geologist, after analyzing its fossil-like shell, concluded that it was half a million years old. The identity of this scientist has never been known, and his comments have never appeared in an official publication. But it is certain that the stone is not a true crystal. The stone hides two other hard objects, like a nail and a washer, which are undoubtedly more modern. The discoverers of the stone sent it to a professional association, where it was photographed and X-rayed. The results of the measurements confirmed that it was indeed part of a mechanical device, but strangely the X-rays showed that one end of the central metal shaft was corroded, while the other end had a spring-like or helix-like structure. Supporters of the Opaz hypothesis argue that it could not have been a spark plug: because modern spark plugs simply do not have structures like springs or helical terminals.

The efforts of Pierre Stromberg and Paul Heinrich of the Pacific Northwest Skeptics finally turned the story around: they sent the photos and X-rays to the Spark Plug Collectors Association of America (SPCA). They sent the photos and X-rays to the Spark Plug Collectors of America.

Chad Windham, the association's president, studied them at length and, after careful analysis and comparison, concluded in November 1999 that there was no doubt that this was a spark plug. He also identified its model: a sample from 1920. His explanation also clarified the function of the part that resembles a spring or a spiral terminal: these spirals act as a kind of "balancing sleeve" that is used to equalize the difference in coefficients of thermal expansion between the ceramic and metal shafts.

Windham's explanation is also consistent with the fact that, according to the archives, the area where the mysterious crystals were found was a mining area at the beginning of the 20th century, and it is possible that machinery equipped with old internal combustion engines was used at that time, and that spark plugs fell into the deeper parts and fused with the ore*** to form the puzzling stone.

7, Egypt's ancient model airplanes

As far as anyone knows, until 1903 the earth people made the first airplane. But strangely enough, archaeologists have found model airplanes from 4,000 years ago.

In 1879, the British-born archaeologist Weiss found a strange phenomenon in the frescoes at the ruins of the Abydos temple in the barren desert of northeastern Egypt: a series of flying objects and a floating fresco in the shape of today's airplanes. One image looks like a helicopter today, others look like a submarine or a spaceship, and there are even "UFOs" that appeared in ancient Egypt 3,000 years ago. There are also at least three to four flying objects that look remarkably like today's airplanes, which were only developed in the 19th century but appear in frescoes from 3,000 years ago in ancient Egypt.

Ancient flying machines shown in frescoes

Throughout the history of the world, a number of ancient peoples used frescoes to record their history at the beginning of the development of language and writing. The frescoes that appeared in temples were also supposedly used by the ancient Egyptians to record a certain event or to express a certain meaning, but could people 3,000 years ago have predicted the products of today's civilization? Even if an alien civilization had come to ancient Egypt 3,000 years ago, people at that time might not have had the concepts of helicopters and submarines. Moreover, if the UFOs in the murals were alien, why would they be painted in the same place as modern civilization's airplanes?

In 1898, a model of a modern airplane was found in a 4,000-year-old Egyptian tomb. The model was made from a small fig tree, which was abundant in ancient Egypt at the time, and weighed 31.5 grams. Since the concept of airplane did not exist at that time, it was pronounced as "wooden bird model". This model is now in the Museum of Antiquities in Cairo, numbered "Species Register" No. 6347, in Room 22. It was not until 1969 that the archaeologist Dr. Khalil Misha was granted access to the museum's storehouse of ancient relics and found many bird-like models. These models of flying birds had the *** same characteristics, namely, they all had bird feet and were half-human, half-bird in shape, while this model was similar to the present monoplane except for the head, which was somewhat like a

bird; there was a pair of flat spreading wings, a flat lying fuselage, and the tail had a vertical tail, and there were also traces of the horizontal tail that had been detached from underneath.

In order to find out the true nature of this model, Dr. Misha suggested that the Egyptian Ministry of Culture form a special committee to carry out a special investigation.

In December 1971, a committee composed of archaeologists, aviation historians, aerodynamicists and pilots began to confirm the study of this model. Upon identification, many experts concluded that it had the basic characteristics and performance of a modern airplane: the fuselage was 5.6 inches long, the two wings were straight with a span of 7.2 inches, the tip of the beak was 1.3 inches long, the tail was vertical like a shark's fin, and there was a device on the tail wing that looked like the tail balancer of a modern airplane. In addition to its aerodynamic shape, the tail has a reverse upward anticornering feature that gives the fuselage tremendous upward force. The proportions of the components

inside the airplane are also very precise. With a little push, it could still fly for quite a distance. Therefore, some experts concluded that this is by no means a toy made by ancient Egyptian craftsmen for the king, but the final product of repeated calculations and experiments. Later, in some other places in Egypt, another 14 models of such airplanes were found one after another.

What's even more surprising is that in some places in South America, there are also some models of airplanes that are very similar to the ancient Egyptian models. In a South American country about 780 feet deep underground, dug out an ancient aircraft cast in gold model, and modern B52 bomber very similar. According to scientists to analyze, this aircraft model is not only well-designed, but also has the flight performance. The United States of America, New York Institute of experts in this ancient aircraft model for the wind tunnel test, drew a technical drawings, these drawings to the ancient aircraft model of the general appearance of the depiction.

In 1954, the model of the ancient gold airplane was exhibited in a museum in the United States of America by Colombia*** and the State.

These models were later found in other South American countries. Is there any intrinsic connection between the model airplanes in Egypt and South America? Did the Egyptians ever fly to South America with their airplanes? If people invented the airplane 4,000 years ago, why was the world's first airplane not built until 1903? By what means did the ancient people manufacture airplanes? If these mysteries can not be solved, people will have to attribute this matter to aliens. Some people in the West believe that: thousands of years ago, it is impossible to make an airplane, these models of airplanes, are aliens left on Earth products.

8, Costa Rica giant stone ball

Costa Rica in southern Central America, in ancient times, there were more than 30,000 Indians living here.

The late 1930s, the Americans George Chittenden in the country's off-the-beaten-track delta tropical jungle, as well as valleys and mountain slopes, found about 200 good artificial apocryphal stone balls. These stone balls vary in size, the large diameter of dozens of meters, the smallest diameter is more than two meters, the production of skillful, is a masterpiece. Garaca has a group of up to 45 stone balls, the other two were 15 and 17, some arranged in a straight line, some slightly curved, no certain rules. Some of the balls apparently rolled down from the mountains and happened to line up in a straight line, according to weirdness expert Mitchell Shumaker.

The stone balls have aroused great interest. Scientists took careful measurements of them and found that the curvature of the points on the surface of these stone balls was almost exactly the same, making them simply some very desirable round balls. These stone spheres

Costa Rica Giant Stone Spheres

Archaeologists who have done thorough investigations of the Great Stone Spheres have confirmed that the error in the diameter of these spheres is less than 1/100, and that the accuracy is close to the true roundness of the sphere. From the precise curvature of the large stone ball can be known, the production of these stone ball personnel must have a considerable wealth of geometric knowledge and superior chiseling processing technology, but also have a hard and unparalleled processing tools and precision measuring devices. Otherwise, it is inconceivable that they could have accomplished these masterpieces. It is true that the Indians who lived here in ancient times had many skilled craftsmen who chiseled stone. However, polishing such a large stone ball must pay hard labor, from quarrying, cutting to polishing, each process requires constant rotation of the stone, to know that these stone ball weighs dozens of tons, which is in any case not an easy task. Can it be accomplished with just some rudimentary and primitive tools?

According to research, these enigmatic stone balls are almost always made of solid, beautiful granite. What baffles scientists and archaeologists is that there is no granite stone in the vicinity of where these stone balls are located, nor can any traces left by the original makers be found elsewhere. In the face of such a strange phenomenon, people raised a series of questions: who made these remarkable huge stone ball? How did the necessary huge stones get here? What tools were used to make them?

Some people, based on the legend among the local Indians that the cosmic beings once descended here in a spherical spacecraft, believe that these large stone balls were made by the cosmic beings and arranged in certain positions and distances to simulate some kind of celestial phenomenon in space as a "planetary model". However, who today can understand the true meaning of this "planet model"? And who knows which of these large stone spheres represents the homeland where these celestial aliens live?

9. Unlikely Fossilized Footprints

In 1817, archaeologists Henry R. Schoolcraft and Thomas H. Benton found two human footprints on a limestone slab near the west bank of the Mississippi River in the U.S. The footprints were about 10.5 inches long, with scattered toes and splayed palms, and were similar to those of a foot that had been accustomed to long periods of walking without shoes. Walking footprints similar to those of a longtime habit of walking without shoes. The footsteps were strong and robust, the footprints were natural, and every indication was present: their indentations were made when the rock was very soft. According to identification, this limestone slab has a history of 270 million years.

In 1938 Dr. Burroughs, head of the geology department at Berry College in Kentucky, USA, announced that he had found 10 footprints in Carboniferous sandstone that were identical to those of humans. Micrographs and infrared photographs proved that the footprints were naturally caused by human foot pressure and not artificially withered. It is estimated that these rocks are about 250 million years old. Earlier, some people in the United States, St. Louis, on the west bank of the Mississippi River, a rock, had found a pair of human footprints. According to geologists, this rock is about 2.7 billion years old. Trilobites are 540 to 250 million years old creatures that have long been extinct. Most curiously, amateur fossil enthusiast William J. Meister found several trilobite fossils in June 1968 in Cambrian sedimentary rocks at AntelopeSprings, Utah.

On top of one of the trilobite fossils were found the footprints of an adult in a penny loafer and a child's footprint, about 10.25 inches long and 0.5 inches wide, embedded in the rock. The footprints were identified as human footprints by Melvin A. Cook, a renowned chemist at the University of Utah.

He recounted, "When I gently tapped one of the rock fragments with a geological hammer, it 'opened up like a book, and I was surprised to find a human footprint on one piece with a trilobite stepping on it in the center, and another piece showing the shape of an almost intact footprint. What was even stranger was that the men were wearing civilian shoes!" Later, in July 1968, Dr. Burdick, a leading geologist, visited Antelope Springs and found another child's footprint, and in August 1968, Walt, an educator in the Salt Lake City Public Schools, found two more human footprints in shoes in the same rock containing the trilobite fossil. All of these discoveries, authenticated by the scholars involved, were found to be beyond suspicion and a serious challenge to conventional geology.

Madison, director of the Museum of Earth Sciences at Utah State University, said at a press conference that at that time, "there were no humans on the planet, and there were no monkeys, bears, or sloths that could have caused near-human footprints, so what human-like animal would have walked the planet before even crinoids evolved?" Trilobites are tiny marine crinoids, similar to shrimps and crabs. They existed on Earth from 600 million years ago until their extinction 280 million years ago. The history of mankind is very short by comparison, with only 3,000 years of decent footwear. What is the explanation for all this?

10, unlikely metalwork

In 1885, someone dug up a half-oval metal pipe in a 65-million-year-old Cretaceous formation in France, which was apparently "handmade". 1912, a power plant employee smashed a chunk of coal and found a tin can inside. An iron nail was found by miners in the rocks at Kingoody Quarry in Scotland. It was determined that these rocks were formed much further back in time than the birth of man. Just who made these metal objects.
