LOST HISTORY

2022-08-31 21:00:08 Going to fake history, you need to discuss in advance the "true" version of events.

Example: the Alexander Column in St. Petersburg. The stone pillar weighing 700 tons appeared in 1834, immediately became one of the symbols of the city, the moment of its installation and construction was depicted in the drawings of four painters from life. But all four versions turned out to be completely different. Open / Comment

2022-08-31 14:00:07 One of the most popular finds in the world, known probably to many, are dodecahedron. Almost always this product has 12 facets, and large holes along with rounded protrusions.

As we know, they were first found in the Roman Empire, but later, similar finds were distributed all over the world, and they must have been found in hundreds. Some of them could differ a little, but as a whole they are the same artifacts, leaving many questions.

There are a great many versions of the dodecahedron's purpose in the past, but most of them reduce everything to astronomy. But then again, why were they distributed all over the planet, and how were they used? Open / Comment

The Supreme Court of the United States has ordered the Smithsonian Institution to release documents confirming the destruction "in order to conceal scientific facts and preserve the sanctity of the theory of human evolution" of tens of thousands of artifacts left in its custody.

In the 1900s, the Smithsonian Institution destroyed thousands of human remains, the skeletons of giant humans found in various parts of the American continent.

P.S. This article is walking around on the Internet, I have not seen the proof. Whether it is true or not - do not know. Open / Comment

2022-08-30 14:00:07 The ultimate workmanship of diorite, which modern man is incapable of replicating

Many people think that a vase is just a hole in the stone and some external processing, but it is not that simple. The fact is that diorite is one of the hardest stones on our planet. Even on the famous Mohs scale, it ranks high.

Probably, a person could drill a hole in diorite in a few months, but how much would such a hole cost? An ordinary hole would have taken an enormous amount of copper, time, and effort, whereas we are talking about a whole vase. In addition to vases, the ancient people were able to make incredibly beautiful and detailed figures from diorite.

Scientists tried to create a vase from diorite with copper, and here is their result in the last photo. Open / Comment

2022-08-28 21:00:07 The Secret Technology of Ancient Architecture

Thousands of years ago, Mesoamerican civilizations discovered the secret of softening hard rock. The explorer Percy Fawcett (1867 - during or after 1925) recorded the story of the discovery in his journal of a trip to Peru. In an ancient burial site, he discovered a clay bottle filled with a black viscous liquid with a pungent odor.

One of the members of the group decided to get the Native American guide drunk, but he resisted. In the struggle, the bottle was broken and the contents poured out onto a block of basalt. Soon the surface of the stone dissolved to a soft clay that could be molded as desired. Wasn't this the secret of the perfectly fitted blocks of the Inca and Maya pyramids, the subtlety of stone bas-reliefs and marble sculptures?

The composition of the solvent fluid remained a mystery. Major Fawcett went missing in the Amazon jungle. Open / Comment
