2022-04-13 21:45:00 Babylonian tablet with astronomical calculations

The Babylonians were excellent astronomers, many of their tablets correctly described the movements of the stars. But the tablet below, now in the London Museum, is unique.

The fact is that this tablet calculates the path of Jupiter through the sky ... using the methods of modern mathematics. Using integrals and velocity-time diagrams!

These methods appeared in modern mathematics only in the 17th century with the light hand of Isaac Newton and Gottfried Leibniz. This sign... shouldn't be there!

Where did the Babylonians get knowledge in the field of mathematical analysis? Historians shrug.

In 1974, statues were found in Sardinia that turned out to be split. They represented warriors and archers.

The approximate date of creation of the sculptures is the tenth century BC. All this is very interesting, but scientists and archaeologists cannot say why the statues were created and why the most ancient statues were destroyed.

It is noteworthy that among the locals, Kailash has long been considered the most sacred place in the world.Mountain height 6666 m; scientists disagree from 6638 to 6890 m, which is due to the method of measuring the heights of the mountains 6638 meters.It has a tetrahedral pyramidal shape, the edges of which are oriented strictly to the cardinal points, as if someone created it artificially.To date, no one has managed to conquer this peak.According to legends, there is a so-called “stairway to heaven” on Kailash, along which you can climb to heaven or get into the mysterious Shambhala.

2022-04-12 19:12:00 Is this the remains of Atlantis?

In May 1968, in the sea off the coast of Bimini (Bahama), divers discovered thousands of huge flat limestone blocks. All of them were neatly stacked, forming a road more than one kilometer long. Agree, nature itself without human intervention could not create anything like this.
This is interesting: Some researchers believe that these blocks are the ruins of an ancient civilization, while others call them an amazing natural phenomenon. But how then can one explain the prophecy made by the great soothsayer Edgar Cayce? Back in 1938, he said the following: "The ruins of the lost Atlantis will be found in the depths of the sea off the coast of Bimini ... This will happen in 1968 or 1969." The prediction came true with amazing accuracy.

To measure the depth of the river, it is enough to lower the rope / stick in the right place. But no, you need to build a whole "castle" to find out the depth of the river. There are many such buildings and all for measuring the depth

I am sure that the original purpose of these structures was not clear even to the Egyptians themselves.

2022-04-12 08:13:00 Guess where is the valley formed by the Urubamba River in the Peruvian Andes near the city of Cusco and the ruins of Machu Picchu, and where is the worked-out quarry

If it were not for the development of photography, then one could take the word of historians about what happened to the area in antiquity. But such identical photos begin to raise questions, what kind of river was it that left a trail like a quarry?
