The brain has always been considered the most mysterious part of the human body. It is more developed in some people than in the rest of humanity. These are people-phenomena that have a number of super powers. One of the most famous people-phenomena is the Englishman Daniel Tammet, who is prone to autism since childhood, speaks with great difficulty and is poorly oriented in space. Nevertheless, this unique person can make the most complex mathematical calculations in his mind in a matter of seconds, easily keeps 22 514 digits after the decimal point in the number Pi in his memory, and speaks perfectly in ten languages.
However, such people-counters have been familiar to mankind since ancient times. Among them were famous scientists such as the mathematician Leonard Euler or the astronomer and physicist Dominic Arago, who could easily do a lot of mathematical calculations in their minds at incredible speed.
Incomprehensible abilities in the field of mental calculation are often found in children. For example, an eight-year-old American boy Zera Colburn (1812) could in a matter of seconds translate various numbers in his mind up to the 16th degree, and also extract the root from the same degree. To the question: how many minutes in 48 years, he answered at the same second: "25,228,800" - and he was absolutely right.
In the middle of the 20th century, the public was shocked by Shakuntala Devi, who easily extracted the roots of the 20th power of numbers consisting of 42 digits. She was involved by the government of India in the population census and took part in the most complex mathematical calculations, ahead of any computers of the time in the speed of calculations.
The Soviet academician Ioffe was able to work from memory with large tables of logarithms, including up to 30 million digits.
Our contemporary, a certified physician Andrei Slesarchuk, is able to memorize huge rows of numbers, performing various mathematical operations with them in his mind. He twice got into the Guinness Book of Records.
But phenomenon people differ not only in the ability to memorize large digital information. For example, Alexander the Great, Napoleon Bonaparte and Julius Caesar knew every soldier of their many armies by sight and even remembered their names.
The famous Russian chess player Alekhin could play chess with his numerous opponents only from memory, blindly, and once during a simultaneous game he fought on 32 boards at once.

People who can memorize many languages are also not uncommon. The most famous polyglot is the Italian cardinal Giuseppe Mezzofanti, who knew 38 languages perfectly and spoke several more languages fluently. Our compatriot Yuri Solomakhin, a sports journalist who also spoke fluently in 38 languages, did not lag behind him.
Such human phenomena with unique abilities are considered direct evidence that the average person uses only 5 percent of his brain, and they use 90%.
Well, what can you say then about people who, for example, are able to attract various objects with their bodies? Their brains function normally (5%), but their physical capabilities are simply amazing. For example, a resident of Malaysia Liv Tou Liin could drag a passenger car along the road on a metal chain, the end of which he simply applied to his stomach.
Scientists who studied the phenomenon of this person could not detect any magnetic field in him, and were at a complete dead end.
Scientists could not uncover the phenomenon of the Siberian woman Sannia, who was a real "living magnet" and could attract not only metal objects, but also, for example, plexiglass.
Probably, one could doubt the reality of such phenomena, if not for the numerous attempts of scientists to study them. After all, all studies are documented.
The roots of many such "secret" abilities-knowledge are invisibly connected with such ancient proto-civilizations as Atlantis, Hyperborea, Arctida, Lemuria. And who knows, maybe this ancient knowledge and the associated superpowers of people will serve in the future as a new ark of salvation, thanks to which mankind will finally be able to find a way out of the dead end of technogenic civilization.
