2022-05-11 20:00:11 Mysterious illuminations of the 18th and 19th centuries

They were used as an amusement performance and they were quite common. The use of fire is out of the question here, otherwise everything would catch fire in a jiffy, and fires, in those days, were feared no less than the plague.

Looking at the engravings, there's no doubt that this is electricity. And the light is not coming from individual candles, but from the entire structure as a whole, in places with the highest concentration of electric field. The incandescent lamp was invented only at the end of the 19th century (1878), but what was lit in the 18th century is incomprehensible.

2022-05-11 15:00:12 Charles Hapgood is an American scholar who graduated from Harvard. He has a master's degree in medieval and modern history and has taught college courses in world and American history, anthropology, economics, and the history of science.

Hapgood studied Orontius Fineus's map of Antarctica without an ice sheet and came to the logical conclusion that the map must have a prototype created before the current glaciation of Antarctica. The argument is that the exact latitude and longitude values of the coastline, which is now covered by glaciers, were inaccessible to later compilers.

What did the scientific community do? Mocked the scientist and pointedly ignored the map. "It can't be, because it can't be."

2022-05-11 12:12:26 On the Ethiopian plateau of Sanetti there is a place where from the elevation go stone bands of large boulders.

They are up to 1.5 km long, 15 m wide and 2 m high. They show traces of ice processing of the sliding glacier. The geologist's conclusion is simple: there was a glacier here. Yes, it is possible. Only now this place is in the tropics. Geologists don't give up: "There was glaciation here 42-28 thousand years ago." Yes, but. There is no longer any trace of a glacier around Africa.

What kind of glacier is that in a shallow confined space? Where would it come from in the middle of an area with a hot climate?

2022-05-11 07:00:02 Unnaturally elongated skulls were often found by archaeologists in Mexico, Egypt, Malta, Syria, and northern Iraq. The strange anomaly was elucidated when a mummy of an infant with plaques strapped to his head was found. Later it turned out that this custom still exists in certain peoples.

But no matter how the shape of the cranium changes, the volume and weight of the human brain remains the same. 
So, the volume of "Paracas skulls" was 25% larger than the average, and the brain was 60% heavier. So the shape of the Paracas skulls is not the result of an intentional deformation of the bones.

What is interesting is that Damian Waters' team of archaeologists discovered three elongated skulls in Antarctica. No remains had previously been found on the southern continent.

2022-05-10 22:24:12 The remains of 16 human hands, 3,600 years old, were found in Egypt

There is a myth that soldiers cut off the right hands of their enemies to get gold in return. If you look closely at the bones, you can see abnormally long bones compared to a human arm.
Assuming the soldiers got a tall man with long bones, how can one explain an entire pit of such exhibits.

2022-05-10 18:05:11 Yulang Valley Stone Garden

At first it seems as if these are some ancient images that have preserved their original appearance to this day. In fact, they are all the work of the artist Song Peilong, who spent about 20 years creating them.
The artist worked with simple stone to form a whole world of fairy tale giants, castles and lakes.
The Yulang Valley was created to commemorate an ancient tribe that lived here more than 2,000 years ago.

2022-05-10 11:46:02 Medals from the 1700s and the Great Northern War are full of allegory and sarcasm. One of the Swedish medals has a strange image of the symbols of Russia and Sweden. The Swedish lion overthrows the dragon, with Narva and Ivan City in the background.

Suppose the Swedish lion is a long-established symbol of the country, and underneath it is the same reptile as on the Kazan coat of arms, on the flag of Tartaria, and on any image where St. George kills the serpent. Since when has Russia been represented by a dragon and not an eagle? And who was actually defeated then?

2022-05-10 07:00:03 Giants on the streets of European cities in the 18th century.

A painting by the artist Nicolas Jean Baptiste Ragnet. A competition of boatmen on the river between the bridge of change and the bridge of Notre Dame (view of the bridge of change) 1756.

Looking at the figures of the standing boatmen, we see that they are at least twice the size of those sitting in the boats! A critical reader will say that it is an allegory, as seen by the author himself distant from reality, but the XVII century, and especially the XVIII century is the kingdom of vedutists!

Veduta (Italian veduta, "kind") - a genre of European painting, especially popular in Venice in the XVIII century. It is a picture, drawing or etching with a detailed depiction of a daily cityscape.

2022-05-09 19:00:10 In 1999, paleontologists discovered the remains of a Cyclops in Texas. Analysis of the skeleton showed that the giant was about 2.5 - 3 m tall and weighed 250-300 kg. The bones of the skull are very heavy and dense, in life the giant was a living fighting machine. The age of the remains is 10,000 years.

In the Rhodope Mountains (Bulgaria), in 2012, discovered a skull with three eye sockets, which is fully consistent with the ancient images of the Cyclops. Official science, as always, declared a fake. The information was classified and the bones were withdrawn and hidden, only photographs remained.

2022-05-09 14:16:23 On the 18th-century Axonometric Plan of St. Petersburg, in addition to ruined houses and buried buildings, there is another interesting detail.

In the northern part of Vasilevsky Island in rows of pyramids are erected. Who built them, for what purpose, and where they went - is unknown. If not for the attention of inquisitive researchers in the network, we probably would not have learned about them, and historians are in no hurry to tell about them.
