New archaeological finds, information about which is becoming available to an ever wider circle of people, suggest that the historical information about the past of our planet, which was put into our heads all this time, requires a meaningful revision. Of particular interest are the finds associated with the use of technologies in ancient times that could not have been available to the ancient inhabitants of the earth.
For example, in one of the issues of the journal "Accounts of Chemical Research" it is said that scientists have discovered the fact that artisans who lived more than 2 thousand years ago used the technology of applying thin films of metals on statues and other objects, exceeding modern standards for such works. In the article, scientists from the American Chemical Society argue that "the high level of competence of the artisans of this ancient period, who knew how to produce items of such quality that could not be surpassed in those days, and which has not yet reached modern technology."
Gilding and silvering is a well-known process, in which, using mercury, it is possible to cover items with a thin layer of silver and gold. Sometimes it was used for fraudulent purposes, giving the appearance of silver and gold to less precious metals. So, the ancient craftsmen managed, using unknown technologies, to cover the products with an ultra-thin layer of precious coating, which allows the layer to adhere tightly to the surface of the product and take any shape - this technique saved precious metals and increased their durability. Experts say that modern technology has never reached this level of excellence. Ancient craftsmen, not knowing anything about physical and chemical processes, through trial and error developed their own technologies, including the use of mercury as an adhesive, covered objects with the thinnest layer of precious metals.
Another example of amazing ancient technologies 2,000 years ago is the so-called Antikythera mechanism, which consists of a complex combination of gears and was used to calculate the positions of celestial bodies. It is impossible to remain silent about another invention of the ancients - the Baghdad battery (the prototype of the electric battery). The Baghdad battery was an earthenware jug with a copper cylinder with an iron rod in the center. And although the level of technological sophistication of ancient scientists and artisans is amazing, there are still many questions where this knowledge came to them, ahead of its time.
It must be admitted that the ancient Romans can rightfully be considered pioneers in the development of nanotechnology - the mystery of the 1600-year-old cup remains unsolved. We are talking about the jade Lycurgus Cup (the cup is decorated with scenes with the participation of King Lycurgus). As it passes through the goblet of light, it changes its color from green to blood red. Scientists have been trying to unravel the mystery of this phenomenon since 1950 - since the time this exhibit was acquired by one of the English museums. The researchers found that the artisans, when making the Lycurgus goblet, impregnated the goblet material with microparticles of silver and gold 50 nanometers in diameter (for comparison, this is less than a thousandth of a grain of salt). It is believed that the Lycurgus Cup could be the key to creating a new supersensitive technology with which it will be possible to diagnose human diseases.and also conduct biohazard checks at baggage checkpoints. But a completely legitimate question arises - how did the ancient Romans know about the technology of nanoparticles? And what was the true meaning of the 4th century artifact during the reign of King Lycurgus?
There is a lot of information about the Egyptian pyramids, but most often all information can only be attributed to scientific guesses. After all, until now, no one can say with certainty who actually was the builder of these grandiose structures. Egyptologists claim that at that time people lived in the "Bronze Age" and did not know what the wheel and iron were. The only thing they had at that time was a huge amount of labor. And if, with a certain assumption, it can be assumed that the construction of the pyramids was carried out with the involvement of an unprecedented number of people, then no arguments can explain the level of astronomical and mathematical knowledge, as well as architecture and examples of art that the Egyptians possessed.
So, in the Cairo Museum there are samples of stone products found at the pyramid in Sakkara (the pyramid of the Pharaoh of the III dynasty of Djoser) and on the Giza plateau, which bear signs of mechanical processing. Such circular grooves applied to these stone products could only be applied using a mechanism similar to a lathe. The same traces of processing were found on other finds from the period of Ancient Egypt (for example, on a basalt bowl kept in the Petri Museum). The paradox is that the found and most skillfully made household utensils belong to the earliest period of the ancient Egyptian civilization, and not only soft material - alabaster, but also granite was used for the manufacture.
The methods of processing granite products by ancient artisans raise many questions. For example, hollow products with a narrow and long neck are internally processed, which raises doubts about their handicraft. Many Egyptian finds have symbols engraved on their surface with the names of the rulers who reigned in the earliest period of Egyptian history. These primitive scripts do not correlate in any way with the graceful designs on which they are applied. Most likely, these records can only be explained as scrawled later on the products and indicating the names of their owners. But then again a lot of questions arise - who made them?; when?; Where?; as? why were they in the Egyptian pyramids? …

Traces of mechanical sawing on the basalt are very clearly visible on the surviving samples of the Egyptian pyramids. There are even "fitting" cuts on the rocks, which could only be done with a stable and easy cutting tool. Another interesting detail of the processing of hard rocks by the ancient Egyptians - drilled holes - “drilled channels range from 1/4 inch (0.63 cm) to 5 inches (12.7 cm) in diameter, and runout from 1/30 (0. 8 mm) to 1/5 (~ 5 mm) in. The smallest hole found in granite is 2 inches (~ 5 cm) in diameter."
So, on the tourist trail near the obelisk in Karnak, there is a fragment of a worked rock with holes 2 cm in diameter and 10 cm deep. Even a non-expert can see that holes in granite were drilled with a tool that entered the hard rock like oil. These holes once again confirm that the ancient pyramid builders had a high level of technology at that time.
Scientists have found a slab of black basalt, which clearly has a circular saw mark. It is known that such a saw can be operated pneumatically, hydraulically or electrically. But the Egyptians did not have such an instrument then! The slab also shows that the sawing was followed by grinding, of a very high quality and far superior to similar manual work: in this case, there would be noticeable scratches. This quality of grinding can only be achieved with diamond saws moving at great speed.
The stone floor of the ruined temple in southern Saqqara is surprising. The stones were laid in various configurations, and then someone walked over them, perfectly aligned (similar to how floors are scraped today). Only the material for scraping is not wood, but granite!
One cannot but mention one more amazing fact. In Dashur there are fragments of a sarcophagus, the inner corners of which are carved perfectly at right angles. And this processing is more like casting or stamping. But even modern technologies do not allow such work to be done.
Of course, one could believe that the construction of the pyramids was carried out directly by the Egyptians, using practically unlimited labor, but the studied technological nuances of the giant structures cast doubt on this version.
Most of the Egyptian structures reach the height of a 50-storey building, the processed stone blocks weighing 100-200 tons at this height were laid ideally without any mortar. Ah, the walls of the pyramid in Medum turned out to be leveled after the construction of the pyramid! The inclined surface of the pyramid was processed. Such work, without the use of special equipment and knowledge, is simply impossible. Today, such work can only be carried out using laser technology. So how could the ancient Egyptians deal with this?
As a result of the excavations under the pyramid of Pharaoh Djoser in the underground galleries, a stone collection was found, numbering more than 30 thousand items: plates made of stone 1.5 mm thick, stone vessels with a convex surface, objects very similar to laser discs with holes in the middle, and many others. interesting things.
Russian Egyptologist Andrei Sklyarov believes that most of the Egyptian monuments were created by representatives of the ancient earthly civilization: “You can call them Atlanteans, you can call them aliens, you can somehow differently, but the traces of their stay in Egypt are incredible. It’s even strange that Egyptologists didn’t pay attention to this before. Although now I have the impression that the modern Egyptians have a clue of something, but they carefully hide the secret. " The words of the Russian scientist are confirmed by the fact that the Great Sphinx, the creation of which was dated by Egyptologists during the reign of Pharaoh Cheops, however, according to the records found on the "inventory stele", by order of Cheops, it was only repaired, not erected. Consequently, the Great Sphinx was created long before the reign of Pharaoh Cheops. When we read this entry on the "inventory stele",then they immediately hid it in the storerooms of the Cairo Museum, and instead put another one - the Egyptians decided to hide this interesting fact regarding the Great Sphinx.
Perhaps a clue can be given by the assumption that the Egyptian pyramids were built on the ruins of high-tech structures. This version can be supported by studies that have shown that the base of the pyramids is made of powerful processed structures, and above there is a rough clay masonry of stones and unprocessed bricks.
Abydos has a magnificent temple built of huge blocks. On its walls, inscriptions have been preserved, testifying to the repair work carried out during the reign of the pharaohs. According to legends, this is where the god Osiris rests. Egyptologists believe that the building is at least 11 thousand years old.
By the way, among other things, in Egypt there are many statues of the Gods, each weighing up to a thousand tons. Again, the question arises - how was it possible to transport and install such huge blocks of granite or quartzite?
Who was the real builder of the pyramids of Ancient Egypt? Highly developed civilization? Representatives of ancient Atlantis? Alien aliens? And for what purpose were the mega-structures erected practically all over the planet? Why do myths of many nations speak of the war of the gods? And all the ancient structures were very strong and reliable and could theoretically become shelters from a nuclear attack.
Also, for a long time it was believed that the megalithic structures in South America were built by the Incas. But now the version is completely different - the builders were some technically developed unknown civilization. This is also confirmed by the presence of megalithic polygonal masonry, which is formed by huge blocks connected without the use of mortar, and most importantly, without any gaps; depressions and holes in basalt blocks, as well as cuts that could only be made using high-tech equipment; transportation of huge blocks over rough terrain at a distance of several tens of kilometers from the quarries; structures built into steep mountain slopes; the presence of a high level of sanding of walls made of black basalt, ideal conjugation of joints and cuts, made with high quality.
On the territory of Lebanon, there is the construction of Baalbek, striking in its size. But of interest is the fact that the terrace of the temple, built of huge blocks, is much older than the temple itself. Nine rows of stone blocks are laid as a floor in the temple, each weighing about 300 tons. It is in this temple that there are three colossal blocks, called Trilithon - the Miracle of three stones, each weighing 800 tons, length 21 meters, height 5 meters, width 4 meters. Traces of machining are clearly visible on these miraculous stones, they are so precisely docked that even a knife blade cannot be inserted between them. The construction of Baalbek itself is much larger than the Cheops pyramid. It is possible that such a structure at that time could only be built by representatives of an extraterrestrial civilization.
Archaeologists also know 13 crystal skulls found during excavations. Their origin is associated with the cultures of the Maya and Aztecs. The most interesting of these is the Mitchell-Hodges skull ("the skull of fate"). Its peculiarity is the removable jaw, the presence of a system of prisms, lenses and channels that create unusual optical effects. It is possible that the craftsmen used holographic technologies to make it. Experts suggest that it was completed 12 thousand years ago.
In the Qutub Minar Mosque (India, Delhi) there is a metal column known as the "Indra Pillar". The column was made 1500 years ago, its weight is 7 tons, height is 7.5 meters, diameter is 48 cm, it does not rust, it is made of pure iron - 99.7% with an insignificant content of carbon, sulfur and phosphorus. At present, such a ratio can be obtained only in space conditions. No one can reveal the secret of the anti-corrosion feature of this column. Interestingly, when studying the lunar soil, iron was found in chemical composition similar to the Indian pillar. But at the time of the creation of the pillar of Indra, mankind did not have the technology to create such a "pure" iron.
In the jungles of Costa Rica in the 40s of the last century, giant stone balls were found that have an impeccable shape - up to 3 meters in diameter, and the largest weighs 16 tons. The balls of obsidian and granite were arranged in groups and singly, forming geometric shapes. They were perfectly processed and had a smooth surface. Their age is about 12 thousand years and there are more than 300 of them. Similar balls have been found in Egypt, mines in Western Mexico, Germany, Romania, Kazakhstan and Franz Josef Land. One of the versions - the balls were landmarks for spacecraft.
When laying one of the tunnels in California, two mysterious cylinders were found, consisting of platinum and an unknown metal. When heated, for example, to 50 degrees, they are able to maintain this temperature for several hours, and then instantly cool down to air temperature. When a current is passed through them, the cylinders change their silver color to black, and then return to their original color. They are approximately 25 million years old.
From all of the above, it is clear that humanity still knows very little about its history and that many discoveries and interesting finds await us. It is possible that it is they who will give a new impetus to earthlings in the development of new technologies.
