Mysterious phenomena on earth. Inexplicable and mysterious phenomena in Russia. Iron column in Delhi, India
Sometimes unimaginable things happen on planet Earth. People tend to be skeptical about everything mythical and supernatural. However, the mysteries of nature and others exist in real life... This is confirmed by indisputable facts, but explain the nature of their manifestation with the help of well-known scientific knowledge does not seem possible.
8 natural wonders
1. The woman of ice
This phenomenon is superior to all others, because it seems completely unlikely in comparison with other mystical phenomena. In the state of Minnesota (Lengby), it was so cold that day that people tried not to leave their homes. Jean Hilliard's girlfriend was later discovered. The age of the young person was 19 years old. She turned out to be completely frozen. It was impossible to bend her arms and legs, her skin turned stony from the cold.
There was no limit to the doctors' surprise when they saw the girl's ice statue. This was just the beginning of supernatural phenomena. Doctors argued that the girl's death was inevitable. And if she suddenly thaws, she was in for amputation of all limbs and a serious long-term illness. However, after a few hours, Jean regained consciousness, no trace of the "freeze" remained on her body. The ice on the chilled parts of the body seemed to dissolve.
2. Iron Column in Delhi, India
Unbelievable things happen with seemingly ordinary materials, for example, with iron. It seems incredible that iron could have been made over a thousand years ago. Meanwhile, in Delhi there is a structure that has been decorating the city for more than one and a half thousand years. This is a column of pure iron, the height of which reaches seven meters. There is not a trace of corrosion on it.
According to some researchers, at that time on Earth, people did not yet possess such technologies. However, the artifact refutes that fact. He is necessarily present in the descriptions of incredible phenomena. The photo can hardly reflect all the greatness and significance of this design. Research results revealed that the structure is 98 percent iron. In ancient times, people did not have the opportunity to make material in such a pure form, since it is very difficult in terms of technology.
3. Lost ship
Natural mysteries and other unexplained phenomena are also often found in the ocean. An example is the story of "The Flying Dutchman", which has not lost its popularity for several centuries. It cannot be said with certainty that all stories about mystical events are reliable. However, there are also documented facts.
A mysterious and incredible incident happened to the crew of the ship “K. A. Deering ". The ship was discovered in the 21st year of the last century. At first glance, it seemed that he was wrecked, so a rescue team went there. The surprise and horror of the rescuers cannot be conveyed in words. There was not a soul on board.
The staff who arrived at the duty station did not find any traces of a disaster or crash either. The crew seemed to have simply disappeared without a trace. Personal belongings and the logbook were gone, but the cooked food remained intact. Nobody could explain what happened.
4. Hutchinson
The inexplicable and supernatural can be created unintentionally by humans. For John Hutchison, Nikola Tesla was a model and idol. He tried in every possible way to reproduce all the experiments of the scientist. The result of experiments has always turned out to be incredible and unpredictable. Wood and metal became one whole, small objects disappeared during the experiments, but the levitation surpassed all imaginable expectations. John also tried to float weightlessly in space. but was never able to achieve similar results. They have always been different, on the basis of which he made a conclusion about the nonlinearity of what is happening and the interference of some mystical phenomena. NASA members tried to recreate Hutchinson's experiments, but failed to achieve the desired goal.
5. Blood rain
Unexplained precipitation fell on residents of Washington (Oakville), USA. Instead of the usual raindrops, a jelly-like substance fell from the sky. After that, all residents showed symptoms of a cold.
In the composition of the aforementioned jelly, white blood cells were found, similar to those found in human blood. In addition, the researchers found two types of bacteria in the composition that are responsible for the diseases of the inhabitants. Scientists have never been able to explain what happened.
6. The Lost Lake
The mysteries of nature, which scientists cannot explain, excite the imagination. The list was supplemented by a lake in the southwest of America in Chile. The event happened in 2007. The huge body of water, 5 miles long, disappeared without a trace. A few months before the incident, geological studies were carried out here, which did not reveal any deviations.
There were no precursors in the form of cataclysms, the lake simply disappeared. According to ufologists, the fault is alien beings who pumped out all the water from the reservoir and took it with them.
7. Surviving frog
Some mysterious artifacts are over a million years old. Documentary confirmation has a number of cases when amphibians, in particular frogs, were found in the depths of boulders. Even more incredible is the survival of the turtle, which was walled up in the hardened concrete, after a year. How the creature managed to survive remains unexplained. A whole and unharmed turtle was removed from a construction in the state of Texas in 76 of the last century.
8. Lord of the water element
Donnie Decker was the name of the boy capable of invoking indoor water. This phenomenon has been documented. It first happened at the house of his friends when he went into a trance state. Water droplets began to flow from the ceiling, and the whole room was shrouded in fog.
A few years later, the situation repeated itself in the restaurant. The owner of the establishment was angry and drove the teenager away. For the third time, Decker was generating streams of water in a prison cell when he was caught hooliganism. The inmates complained to the guards, but the culprit of the incident, without delay, showed his skills to the keepers of order. What happened to the guy after the end of the imprisonment is unknown. There is a version that he got a job as a cook.
Riddles of nature and other unexplained phenomena exist in reality. Some people claim that they have met aliens, others are able to predict the future, others see through walls. There are even specialized establishments that help people develop supernatural talents.
Scientists have been trying to solve many mysteries for centuries. natural world, however, some phenomena still baffle even the best minds of mankind.
From strange flashes in the sky after earthquakes to rocks that spontaneously move along the ground, it seems that these phenomena have no specific meaning or purpose.
Here are 10 of the strangest, most mysterious and incredible natural phenomena. 1. Reports of bright flares during earthquakes
Light flares that appear in the sky before and after an earthquake
One of the most mysterious phenomena is the unexplained flares in the sky that accompany earthquakes. What is causing them? Why do they exist?
Italian physicist Cristiano Feruga has compiled all observations of earthquake flares dating back to 2000 BC. For a long time, scientists were skeptical about this strange phenomenon. But that all changed in 1966 when the first evidence appeared - photographs of the Matsushiro earthquake in Japan.
Now there are a great many such photographs, and the flashes on them are so different colors and shapes, which is sometimes difficult to distinguish a fake. 
Theories to explain this phenomenon include frictional heat, radon gas, and the piezoelectric effect, an electrical charge that builds up in quartz rocks as tectonic plates move.
In 2003, physicist NASA dr Friedemann Freund conducted a laboratory experiment and showed that the outbreaks were possibly caused by electrical activity in the rocks.
The shockwave from an earthquake can alter the electrical properties of silicon and oxygen-containing minerals, allowing them to transmit current and emit a glow. However, some believe that the theory may only be one possible explanation.
2. Nazca drawings
Huge figures painted in the sand in Peru by ancient people, but no one knows why 
The Nazca Lines extending over 450 sq. km of coastal desert are huge works of art left on the Peruvian plains. Among them there are geometric figures, as well as drawings of animals, plants and rarely figures of people that can be seen from the air in the form of huge drawings.
They are believed to have been created by the Nazca people over a 1000-year period between 500 BC. and 500 AD, but no one knows why.
Despite being a World Heritage Site, Peruvian authorities struggle to defend the Nazca Lines from settlers. Meanwhile, archaeologists are trying to study the lines before they are destroyed. 
Initially, it was assumed that these geoglyphs were part of the astronomical calendar, but later this version was refuted. Then the researchers focused their attention on the history and culture of the people who created them. Whether the Nazca lines are a message to aliens or represent some kind of encrypted message, no one can say.
In 2012, Yamagata University in Japan announced that it would open a research center on site and intend to study more than 1,000 drawings over 15 years.
3. Migration of monarch butterflies
Monarch butterflies find their way through thousands of kilometers to specific places 
Each year, millions of North American Danaid monarch butterflies migrate over 3,000 km south for wintering. For many years no one knew where they flew.
In the 1950s, zoologists began tagging and tracking butterflies and found them to be in the mountainous forest of Mexico. However, even knowing that the monarchs choose 12 of the 15 mountainous locations in Mexico, scientists still cannot understand how they navigate. 
According to some studies, they take advantage of the sun's position to fly south, adjusting to the time of day on their antenna's circadian clock. But the Sun only gives a general direction. How they arrange themselves is still a mystery.
According to one theory, geomagnetic forces attract them, but this has not been confirmed. Only recently have scientists begun to study the features of the navigation system of these butterflies.
4. Ball lightning
Fireballs that appear during or after a thunderstorm 
Nikola Tesla allegedly created fireball in his laboratory. In 1904, he wrote that "he had never seen fireballs, but he was able to determine their formation and reproduce artificially."
Modern scientists have never been able to reproduce these results.
Moreover, many are still skeptical about the existence of ball lightning. However, many witnesses, dating back to the era Ancient Greece, declare to have observed this phenomenon.
Ball lightning is described as a luminous sphere that appears during or after a thunderstorm. Some claim to have seen ball lightning travel through window panes and down a chimney.
According to one theory, ball lightning is plasma, according to another, it is a chemiluminescent process - that is, light appears as a result of a chemical reaction.
5. Moving stones in Death Valley
Stones that slide along the ground under the influence of a mysterious force 
In the Racetrack Playa area in Death Valley, California, mysterious forces push heavy rocks across the flat surface of a dried-up lake when no one can see it.
Scientists have been puzzling over this phenomenon since the beginning of the 20th century. Geologists tracked 30 rocks weighing up to 25 kg, 28 of which moved more than 200 meters over a 7-year period.
Analysis of the stone tracks shows that they moved at a speed of 1 m per second and in most cases the stones slipped in winter.
There were suggestions that wind and ice were to blame, as well as algae mucus and seismic vibrations. 
A 2013 study attempted to explain what happens when the surface of a dry lake freezes over. According to this theory, ice on rocks stays frozen longer than the surrounding ice because the rock removes heat faster. This reduces the friction between rocks and the surface and is more easily pushed by the wind.
However, no one has yet seen the stones in action, and lately they have become motionless.
6. The rumble of the Earth
Unknown hum that only a few people can hear 
The so-called "hum" is the name given to the annoying low-frequency noise that disturbs residents around the world. However, few people are able to hear it, namely only one in 20 people.
Scientists attribute the "hum" to ringing in the ears, distant wave banging, industrial noise, and singing sand dunes.
In 2006, a New Zealand researcher claimed to have recorded this anomalous sound.
7. Return of cicadas insects
Insects that suddenly woke up after 17 years to find a mate 
In 2013, cicadas of the species Magicicada septendecim emerged from the ground in the eastern United States, which have not been shown since 1996. Scientists do not know how the cicadas learned that it was time to leave their underground habitat after 17 years of sleep.
Periodic cicadas are quiet and lonely insects that are buried underground most of the time. They are long-livers among insects, and they do not mature until 17 years old. However, this summer, they woke up en masse to reproduce.
After 2-3 weeks they die, leaving behind the fruits of their "love". The larvae are buried in the ground and a new life cycle begins. 
How do they do it? How, after so many years, will they know when it's time to show up?
Interestingly, 17-year-old cicadas appear in the northeastern states, and in the southeastern states, the invasion of cicadas occurs every 13 years. Scientists have suggested that this life cycle of cicadas allows them to avoid meeting their predatory enemies.
8. Animal rain
When different animals, such as fish and frogs, fall from the sky like rain 
In January 1917, biologist Waldo McAtee presented his work, "Rains from Organic Matter," which reported incidents of falling salamander larvae, small fish, herring, ants and toads.
Animal rains have been reported in various parts of the world. So, for example, in Serbia rain from frogs fell, in Australia perches fell from the sky, and in Japan - toads.
Scientists are skeptical about the rain of their animals. One of the explanations was proposed by a French physicist back in the 19th century: the winds raise animals and throw them to the ground.
According to a more complex theory, waterspouts suck out aquatic life, carry them and cause them to fall in certain places.
but scientific research that support this theory has not been carried out.
9. Stone balls of Costa Rica
Giant stone spheres whose purpose is not clear 
Why the ancient people of Costa Rica decided to create hundreds of large balls of stone is still a mystery.
Costa Rica's stone balls were discovered in the 1930s by the United Fruit Company when workers were clearing land for banana plantations. Some of these perfectly spherical balls were up to 2 meters in diameter. 
The stones, which the locals call Las Bolas, date back to 600 - 1000 AD. Further complicating the solution to this phenomenon is the fact that there is no written data about the culture of the people who created them. This happened because the Spanish settlers erased all traces of the cultural heritage of the indigenous population.
Scientists began studying stone balls in 1943, marking their distribution. Anthropologist John Hoopes later refuted many of the theories explaining the purpose of the stones, including lost cities and space aliens.
10. Impossible fossils
Remains of long-dead creatures that appear in the wrong place 
Since the theory of evolution was announced, scientists have encountered discoveries that seemed to challenge it.
One of the most mysterious phenomena was the fossil remains, especially the remains of people who appeared in unexpected places.
Fossilized prints and footprints have been found in geographic areas and archaeological time zones to which they did not belong.
Some of these discoveries may provide new information about our origins. Others turned out to be mistakes or hoaxes. 
One example is the 1911 find, when archaeologist Charles Dawson collected fragments of a supposedly unknown ancient man with a large brain, dated 500,000 years ago. The Piltdown Man's large head led scientists to believe he was the "missing link" between humans and apes.
Here are collected the strangest events of the XX century. Some of them raise doubts about their reliability. However, judge for yourself.

The fall of the Tunguska meteorite, presumably, caused an air explosion that occurred in the area of the Podkamennaya Tunguska River, with a capacity of 40-50 megatons. The explosion on Tunguska was heard 800 km from the epicenter, the blast wave knocked down a forest on an area of 2,100 sq. Km, and the windows of some houses were knocked out within a radius of 200 km. Soon after the explosion, a magnetic storm began, which lasted for 5 hours.

On February 1, a group of experienced tourists led by Igor Dyatlov began their ascent to the summit "1079" (Mountain of the Dead). We didn’t have time to rise before dark and pitched our tent right on the slope. We began to triple for the night. And then something terrible happened ... As the investigators later established, having cut the wall of the tent with knives, the tourists in panic horror rushed down the slope. They ran, who was wearing what: in underwear, half-dressed, barefoot. Later, the bodies of all nine canoes of the group were found down the slope. Most died of hypothermia. Several people suffered severe internal injuries, while the skin was not damaged. The cause of the tragedy is still unknown. The last picture of the Dyatlov group on the Mountain of the Dead.

For 10 months in the so-called "Pacific Triangle" near Western Micronesia, 48 ships and more than 200 sailors disappeared.
1996 year.
A strange, half-dead creature was discovered in a cemetery in the village of Kaolinovy near Kyshtym by a lonely pensioner Tamara Vasilyevna Prosvirina. The creature became known as the "Kyshtym dwarf". The creature ate human food, looked and smelled strange. The body of the creature was approximately 30 cm, it had a torso, arms, legs, a head with a high frontal lobe, mouth and eyes. The pensioner gave the creature a child's name - "Alyoshenka". "Alyoshenka" lived in the pensioner's house for about a month.
Alyoshenka was also seen by other people: Tamara Prosvirina's daughter-in-law, as well as some acquaintances. Subsequently, Tamara Prosvirina was placed in a psychiatric hospital in connection with an exacerbation of schizophrenia. In the end, the creature died, and the causes of death are not completely established, among them death from improper feeding and lack of care or murder under unexplained circumstances are most often indicated. Tamara Prosvirina died on August 5, 1999 - she was hit by two cars at night. At this time, representatives of a Japanese television company, who were filming a documentary film about this phenomenon, were going to interview her. The house where the Kyshtym humanoid lived.
The mummy of the creature was discovered in August 1996 by police captain Yevgeny Mokichev (pictured) during his investigation into the theft of an electric cable. The policeman who discovered the mummy handed it over to his colleague, Vladimir Bendlin, who began his own investigation into the origin and nature of the creature, but soon the mummy of "Alyoshenka" disappeared under strange circumstances. Her whereabouts are currently unknown.
1994 year
Near the Czech town of Celakovice, a "vampire cemetery" was found - a strange burial dating back to the end of the 10th - beginning of the 11th century. In 11 pits, the remains of 13 people lay, tied with leather belts and with aspen stakes stuck in the heart. In addition, some of the deceased had their hands and heads cut off. According to pagan beliefs and rituals, they did this to vampires who rise from their graves at night and drink human blood.
1996 year
In Movile Cave (Romania), a closed ecosystem, not related to the terrestrial one, was discovered for the first time. There were found 30 species of plants and animals (crustaceans, spiders, centipedes and insects) living in isolation in the dark for 5 million years.
What our ancestors once called "devilry", modern scientists refer to the area of the unidentified. True, they still cannot explain the reason for this most unidentified thing.
Taoist noise
Have you heard how the engine or drilling rig works? It is such an unpleasant noise that disturbs the peace of the inhabitants of the American city of Taos. The incomprehensible hum, coming from the direction of the desert, first appeared almost 18 years ago, and has regularly reappeared since then. When residents of the city turned to the authorities with a request to conduct an investigation, it turned out that the noise seemed to come from the bowels of the earth, location devices could not register it, and only 2% of the urban population could hear it. A similar phenomenon is observed in other regions of the planet. It occurs especially often in Europe. As in the case of the Taoist hum, the reasons for its occurrence and the source have not yet been discovered.
Phantom doubles
It is not uncommon for people to meet their counterparts. Stories about doppelgengers (this is not to write "doubles" twice in a row) are present both in medical practice, which is not at all surprising, and in historical documents and literary works... Guy de Maupassant told his friends about meeting his double. The mathematician Descartes, the French writer Georges Sand, the English poets and writers Shelley, Byron, Walter Scott also encountered their copies. We will not even mention Dostoevsky's story The Double.
However, doppelgengers also visit people of prosaic professions. Here are the stories put together by Dr. Edward Podolski. One woman saw her double when she was putting on makeup in front of a mirror. The man who worked in the garden noticed next to him his exact copy, repeating all his movements.
Scientists speculate that the secret of doubles may be hidden in our brains. By processing information, our nervous system creates the so-called spatial scheme of the body, which, due to reasons unknown to science, is divided into real and astral images. Alas, this is just a hypothesis.
Life after death
The light at the end of the dark tunnel, an unusual luminous creature, a calling voice, the ghosts of loved ones who have already died - this is what awaits a person in the next world, according to the words of “resurrected”. In other words, those who have suffered clinical death.
One of the proofs of the reality of the afterlife was the study of William James, which he conducted with the participation of the medium Leonora Piper. For about ten years, the doctor organized seances, during which Leonora spoke on behalf of the Indian girl Chlorin, then Commander Vanderbilt, then Longfellow, then Johann Sebastian Bach, then the actress Siddons. The doctor invited viewers to his sessions: journalists, scientists, other mediums, so that they could confirm that communication with the world of the dead is really happening.
Unfortunately, there are no scientific facts on this score yet. However, maybe this is for the best?
Noisy spirit
Poltergeist is an inexplicable phenomenon and at the same time a constant hero of the yellow press materials. “Barabashka stole the salary of a family from Kapotnya and wrote an expletive word on the wall”, “Poltergeist became the father of three children,” - these and similar headlines are still regularly heard by the audience.
For the first time about the poltergeist was mentioned almost two thousand years ago by the historian Titus Livy, who described how someone invisible threw stones at Roman soldiers. After that, cases of the appearance of a poltergeist were described many times. This phenomenon is mentioned even in the annals of a French monastery. According to the chronicler, on September 16, 1612, something incredible happened in the house of the Huguenot priest Francois Perrot. It all started with the fact that at midnight the curtains began to draw by themselves, and someone pulled the bed linen from the beds. Loud noise was heard in various parts of the house, and in the kitchen someone was throwing dishes. The poltergeist not only methodically demolished the house, but also swore desperately. The church decided that the devil had settled in the house of the Huguenot sinner, and Martin Luther later suggested calling the "obscene spirit" a poltergeist. After 375 years in the USSR it will be called a ram.
Heavenly signs
According to history, clouds are not only white-maned horses. From time immemorial, eyewitness accounts have survived, telling about whole pictures, meaningful signs and numbers that suddenly appeared in the sky. According to legend, one of these celestial visions predicted the victory of Julius Caesar, and the other - a blood-red flag with a white cross - gave strength to the retreating Danish troops and helped them to defeat the pagan Estonians.
Scientists are skeptical about such pictures in the sky and name several reasons for their appearance. Today, various shapes in the sky can form aircraft fumes. After jet fuel burns out, water vapor enters the atmosphere, immediately turning into ice crystals. Caught up in vortexes of air, they behave very unpredictably and can create different shapes. Aerosols based on carbon dioxide and barium salts sprayed during weather experiments can also cause similar phenomena. In addition, due to its specific properties, air sometimes acquires the ability to reflect what is happening on Earth.
The wandering grave phenomenon
In 1928, all the Scottish newspapers were full of news of the grave that disappeared from the cemetery of the small town of Gleneesville. Relatives who came to visit the deceased found an empty place instead of a stone tombstone. It was not possible to find the grave.
In 1989, on one of the farms in Kansas, right in the middle of the barnyard, a grave mound with a rickety and cracked headstone grew overnight. Because of poor condition it was not possible to read the name on it. But when the grave was dug up, a coffin with human remains was found in it.
All this devilry is considered commonplace in some African and Polynesian tribes. There is a tradition of pouring tree sap over a fresh grave and covering it with shells. This is done, according to the priests, so that the grave "does not go away."
Pyrokinesis
Cases when people, engulfed in flames of unknown origin, turned into a handful of ash in just a few minutes, have been known for a very long time. Although this phenomenon occurs infrequently: over the entire past century, only 19 cases of pyrokinesis were recorded in the world. Why this happens, and most importantly, why the flame often does not spread to surrounding objects, scientists cannot explain.
In 1969, he was found in his car dead man... His face and hands were burned, but for some reason the fire did not touch his hair and eyebrows. A completely fantastic incident occurred in the Canadian province of Alberta. The two sisters flashed at the same instant, being in different parts of the city, at a distance of a kilometer from each other.
The versions of the occurrence of pyrokinesis are more and more fantastic. Some doctors try to associate spontaneous combustion of people with their internal state, since it is known that most victims were depressed for a long time. Others believe that alcoholics are mostly affected by pyrokinesis. Their body is so saturated with alcohol that it can flare up from the slightest spark, especially if the dead smoked. There is a version that the flame arises under the influence of either ball lightning, which happened to be nearby, or energy beams unknown to science. And recently, an incredible theory was put forward. Supposedly, a thermonuclear reaction serves as a source of energy in a living cell, that is, under the influence of an unknown force, inexplicable energy processes begin to occur in the cell, similar to those that occur when an atomic bomb explodes.
The Sahara Desert in Egypt contains the oldest known astronomically aligned stones in the world: Nabta. A thousand years before the creation of Stonehenge, people built a stone circle and other structures on the shore of a lake that had dried up long ago. More than 6,000 years ago, stone slabs three meters high were dragged over a kilometer to create this place. The stones depicted are just a part of the entire complex that has survived. Although the Western Egyptian Desert is now completely dry, it was not like this in the past. There is good evidence that there have been several wet cycles in the past (with up to 500 mm of rainfall per year). The most recent refers to the interglacial period and the time of the beginning of the last glaciation, it was approximately from 130,000 to 70,000 years ago. During this period, the area was a savannah and supported the life of numerous animals such as extinct bison and large giraffes, antelopes different types and gazelles. Starting around the 10th millennium BC, this area of the Nubian desert began to receive more rainfall, filling the lakes. Early humans may have been attracted to the region by sources drinking water... Archaeological finds may indicate that human activity in the area has been known since at least sometime from the 10th and 8th millennia BC.
Chinese mosaic from lines.
These strange lines are located at the coordinates: 40 ° 27 "28 .56" N, 93 ° 23 "34 .42" E. There is not much information available about this "weirdness", but a beautiful mosaic of lines does exist, it carved in the desert of Gansu Sheng province in China. Some records indicate that the "lines" were created in 2004, but nothing seems to be found to officially support this assumption. It should be noted that these lines are located near the Mogao Cave, which is a World Heritage Site. The lines stretch for a very long distance, and at the same time maintain their proportions, despite the curvature of the rough terrain.
An inexplicable stone doll.
In July 1889 in Boise, Idaho, a small human figure was found during a well drilling operation. The find has generated intense scientific interest in the last century. Unmistakably human-made, the "doll" was discovered at a depth of 320 feet, which made it possible to attribute its age to a time far before the arrival of man in this part of the world. The find has never been disputed, but it was only said that this, in principle, is impossible.
An iron bolt, 300 million years old.
It was found almost by accident. The expedition of the MAI-Kosmopoisk Center was looking for fragments of a meteorite in the south of the Kaluga region, in Russia. Dmitry Kurkov decided to examine a seemingly ordinary piece of stone. What he found is capable of overturning our understanding of earthly and cosmic history. When the dirt was brushed off the stone, a bolt somehow got inside was clearly visible on its chip! About a centimeter long. How did he get there? A bolt with a nut at the end (or - which this thing was also like - a spool with a rod and two discs) was sitting tight. This means that he got inside the stone back in the days when it was only a sedimentary rock, bottom clay.
Ancient rocket ship.
This ancient cave image from Japan dates back more than 5000 BC.
Moving stones.
No one, not even NASA, has yet been able to explain this. Your best bet is to just watch and marvel at the moving rocks in this dry lake in Death Valley National Park. The bottom of Lake Reistrek Playa is nearly flat, 2.5 km north-south and 1.25 km east-west, and is covered in cracked mud. The stones move slowly along the clay bottom of the lake, as evidenced by the long footprints that remain behind them. The stones move independently without help from others, but no one has ever seen or recorded the movement on camera. Similar movements of stones were recorded in several other places. However, dry Lake Racetrack Playa is unique in terms of the number and length of tracks.
Electricity in the pyramids.
Teotihuacan, Mexico. Large sheets of mica have been found embedded in the walls of this ancient Mexican city. The closest place is a quarry where mica is mined, located in Brazil, thousands of kilometers away. Mica is currently used in energy production technology. In this regard, the question arises as to why the builders used this mineral in the buildings of their city. Did these ancient architects know some long-forgotten energy sources to use electricity in their cities?
Death of a Dog
Suicide of dogs on a bridge in Overtown, near Milton, Dumbarton, Scotland. Built in 1859, Overtown Bridge became famous for a number of unexplained cases in which dogs apparently committed suicide by jumping off it. These incidents were first reported in the 1950s or 1960s, when dogs - usually of the long-nosed species, like the collie - were seen jumping off a bridge quickly and unexpectedly and falling fifty feet, crashing to death.
Fossil giants
The fossilized Irish giants were discovered in 1895 and are over 12 feet (3.6 m) tall. The giants were discovered during mining operations in the city of Antrim, Ireland. This image is from the British magazine Strand, December 1895. “Height 12'2", bust 6'6 ", arm 4'6". There are six toes on the right foot. " The six fingers and toes are reminiscent of some characters from the Bible, where six-fingered giants are described.
Pyramids of Atlantis?
Scientists continue to explore the ruins of megaliths in the so-called Yucatan Canal in the Cuban region. They have been found miles away along the coast. The American archaeologists who discovered the site immediately stated that they had found Atlantis (not the first time in the history of underwater archeology). Now the place is sometimes visited by scuba divers to admire the majestic underwater structures. All other interested persons can enjoy only filming and computer reconstruction of the city buried under water, the age of millennia.
Giants in Nevada
The legend of the Nevada Indians of the 12 foot red giants who lived in the area when they arrived. According to American Indian history, the giants were killed in the cave. During excavations in 1911, this human jaw was discovered. This is what an artificial human jaw looks like next to her. In 1931, two skeletons were found at the bottom of the lake. One was 8 feet (2.4 m) high, the other just under 10 (3 m).
Inexplicable wedge
This aluminum wedge was found in Romania in 1974, on the banks of the Mures River, near the city of Ayud. They found him at a depth of 11 meters, next to the bones of Mastodon - a giant, elephant-like, extinct animal. The find itself is very reminiscent of the head of a huge hammer. At the Archaeological Institute of the city of Cluj-Napoca, where the artifact supposedly went, it was determined that the metal from which this wedge is made is an aluminum alloy coated with a thick layer of oxide. The alloy contained 12 different elements, and the find was classified as strange, since aluminum was discovered only in 1808, and the age of this artifact, given its presence in a layer along with the remains of an extinct animal, is estimated at about 11 thousand years.
"Loladoff's plate"
The Loladoff Plate is a 12,000 year old stone dish found in Nepal. It seems that Egypt is not the only place visited by aliens in ancient times. This is clearly demonstrated by a disc-shaped UFO. There is also a drawing on the disc. The character is remarkably similar to the aliens known as the Gray, the "grays".
Pure iron alloy hammer
A puzzle for science is ... an ordinary-looking hammer. The metal part of the hammer is 15 centimeters long and about 3 centimeters in diameter. It literally grew into limestone about 140 million years old, and is kept together with a piece of rock. This miracle caught the eye of Mrs. Emma Hahn in June 1934 in the rocks near the American town of London, Texas. Experts who examined the find made a unanimous conclusion: a hoax. However, further studies carried out by various scientific institutions, including the famous Battel Laboratory (USA), showed that everything is much more complicated. First, the wooden handle on which the hammer is set has already turned to stone from the outside, but inside it has completely turned into coal. ... This means that its age is also estimated at millions of years. Secondly, specialists from the Metallurgical Institute in Columbus (Ohio) amazed chemical composition the hammer itself: 96.6% iron, 2.6% chlorine and 0.74% sulfur. It was not possible to identify any other impurities. Such pure iron has not been obtained in the entire history of earth metallurgy. Not a single bubble has been found in metal The quality of iron, even by modern standards, is exceptionally high and raises many questions, since the content of metals used in the metallurgical industry in the production of different grades of steel is not found (as, e.g. manganese, cobalt, nickel, tungsten, vanadium or molybdenum). There are also no impurities and the percentage of chlorine is unusually high. It is also surprising that no trace of carbon has been found in iron, while iron ore from the earth's deposits always contains carbon and other impurities. Generally speaking, from a modern point of view, it is not of high quality. But here's the detail: the iron of the "Texas hammer" does not rust! When in 1934 a piece of rock with an ingrown tool was chipped off a rock, the metal was severely scratched in one place. And over the past sixty-odd years, not the slightest signs of corrosion have appeared on the scratch ... According to Dr. K.E. Buff, director of the Museum of Fossil Antiquities, which stores this hammer, the find comes from the early Cretaceous period - from 140 to 65 million years ago. By current state scientific knowledge, mankind learned to make such instruments of labor only 10 thousand years ago. Dr. Hans-Joachim Zilmer from Germany, who studied in detail the mysterious find, concludes: "This hammer is made according to a technology unknown to us."
Highest stone processing technologies
The second group of finds that pose puzzles for scientists are artifacts created after the accepted time of man's appearance on Earth. But the technologies that were used to create them have become known to us relatively recently or are still unknown. The most famous find of this group can be called a crystal skull, found in 1927 in Belize during excavations of the Mayan city of Lubaantum. The skull is cut from a piece of pure quartz and measures 12x18x12 centimeters. In 1970, the skull was analyzed at the Hewlett-Packard laboratory. The results have been overwhelming. The skull was created without observing the natural crystal axis, which is impossible in modern crystallography. No metal tools were used when working on the skull. According to the restorers, at first the quartz was cut with a diamond chisel, after which silicon crystalline sand was used for a more thorough processing. It took about three hundred years to work on the skull, which can be taken as an incredible example of patience or the use of high technologies unknown to us. One of the experts at Hewlett-Packard stated that creating a crystal skull is not a matter of skill, patience and time, but that it is simply impossible.
Fossil nail
However, most often in the rock they find objects that are appearance similar to nails and bolts. In the 16th century, the Viceroy of Peru kept a piece of rock in his office that held tightly to an 18-centimeter steel nail found in a local mine. In 1869, in Nevada, a metal screw 5 centimeters long was found in a piece of feldspar raised from great depths. Skeptics believe that the appearance of these and many other objects can be explained by natural reasons: a special kind of crystallization of mineral solutions and melts, the formation of pyrite rods in the voids between crystals. But pyrite is iron sulphide, and at the break it is yellow (which is why it is often confused with gold) and has a distinct cubic structure. Eyewitnesses of the finds clearly speak of iron nails, sometimes covered with rust, and pyrite formations can be called gold rather than iron. There is also speculation that rod-shaped NIOs are fossilized skeletons of belemnites (invertebrates of marine animals that lived at the same time as dinosaurs). But the remains of belemnites are found only in sedimentary rocks and never in indigenous rocks such as feldspar. In addition, they have a pronounced skeletal shape, and it is impossible to confuse them with something else. It is sometimes argued that nail-like NIOs are melted meteorite fragments or fulgurites (thunder arrows) struck by lightning into rocks. However, it is extremely problematic to find such a fragment or a trace left millions of years ago. If it is still possible to argue about the origin of the nail-like NIO, then about some of the finds it remains only to make a helpless gesture.
Ancient battery
In 1936, the German scientist Wilhelm Koenig, who worked at the Archaeological Museum of Baghdad, was brought a strange object that was found on the excavations of an ancient Parthian settlement near the Iraqi capital. It was a small earthen vase about 15 centimeters high. Inside it was a cylinder of sheet copper, its base was covered by a cap with a seal, the top of the cylinder was covered by a layer of resin, which also held an iron rod directed to the center of the cylinder. From all this, Dr. König concluded that in front of him was an electric battery, created almost two thousand years before the discoveries of Galvani and Volta. Egyptologist Arne Egebrecht made an exact copy of the find, poured wine vinegar into a vase and connected a measuring device that showed a voltage of 0.5 V. Presumably the ancients used electricity to apply a thin layer of gilding to objects.
Antikythera mechanism (other spellings: antikythera, antikythera, antikythera, Greek. Greek island Antikythera (Greek Αντικύθηρα). Dates back to about 100 BC. e. (possibly before 150 BC). Stored at the National Archaeological Museum in Athens. The mechanism contained 37 bronze gears in a wooden case, on which dials with arrows were placed and, according to reconstruction, was used to calculate the movement of celestial bodies. Other devices of similar complexity are unknown in Hellenistic culture. It uses a differential gear that was previously thought to have been invented no earlier than the 16th century, and the level of miniaturization and complexity is comparable to that of a mechanical watch from the 18th century. The approximate dimensions of the assembled mechanism are 33 × 18 × 10 cm.
Figures of astronauts from Ecuador
Figures of ancient astronauts found in Ecuador. Age> 2000 years. In fact, full of such evidence, if you like, read Erich Von Denikin. He has many books, one of the most famous - "Chariots of the Gods", there are both physical evidence and decryption of cuneiform and so on, in general, quite interesting. True, vehemently believers are not allowed to read.
