Our ancestors had amazingly accurate knowledge about the structure of the universe thousands of years ago, long before the beginning of the space age, long before the appearance of rockets and orbital stations.
At the end of the 20th century, in the south of Egypt, in a remote area of the Nabta Playa desert, archaeologists discovered a strange circle made of large stones. In its center were five stone pillars three meters high. Radiocarbon analysis showed the stones were placed 6,500 years ago.
In 2001, NASA physicist Thomas Brophy undertook an in-depth study of the ancient structure. According to him, this is an astrophysical map. It contains incredibly accurate information about the position and distance of the stars in the constellation Orion. Separate stones were located around the amazing map. They seemed to mark some kind of burial. Scientists have begun excavations. Incredibly, a horizontal rock surface was found under a 4-meter layer of sand, and on it - mysterious figures.
Thomas Brophy studied the image and made a startling discovery. - The one who created the bizarre relief had the deepest knowledge not only about the stars, but also about the structure of our entire Galaxy! Mysterious Figures, this is an extremely accurate map of the Milky Way! But most importantly, it was depicted as it can only be seen from Space, from a distance of tens of thousands of light years, being at the point of the North Galactic Pole! The map absolutely correctly indicated the scale and position of our Sun, the location of the spiral arms of the Galaxy, and its center.
Most amazingly, it showed the Sagittarius dwarf galaxy, which was discovered by scientists only in 1994! Even with modern technology, astronomers have only been able to create such a map using a computer.
Who 6500 years ago could see or know what the Milky Way looks like from the galactic pole? Why were such observations necessary? While this is a secret …
