When researchers of history with views different from the official ones visit museums and take notes, shoot videos, history begins to play not only with new colors, but also replete with paradoxes, mysteries and riddles. I suggest that you familiarize yourself with some of the exhibits of the Military Historical Museum of Artillery, Engineering Troops and Communications in St. Petersburg and at the end watch a video that will cause surprise and questions from many.
The museum was founded in 1703. - in the first years of the official foundation of St. Petersburg (and immediately a museum!). Maybe secondary artifacts that were found during the restoration of an older city were brought to this place? This version of northern Palmyra has long excited the minds of supporters of alternative history. So, let's begin…
The exhibits displayed inside the museum are interesting. This is a 17th century squeak, but with a design that was 250 years ahead of its time! Because only in the middle of the 19th century. Krupp began making wedge-breeched guns. But not only that - it is a gun with a rifled barrel - it fired oblong shells.
The principle by which the weapon was charged. I repeat once again - this is the 17th century! Although, during the war with Napoleon, they officially fired from cannons with front-loaded cannonballs.
Promotional video:
Another 27-mm iron-forged squeak, also with a vertical-locking wedge gate. If such tools were not preserved in museums in a single copy, then such tools were massive. Then why do historians show us military operations with the use of cannons, firing only cannonballs?
Cross-loading guns. This is also 17th century. guns ahead of their time. Is this a forgotten military technology?
Breech-loading pishchal "Three asps" 5 m long, rifled. 17th century. Very similar to an anti-tank rifle.
Rifled gun barrel 1661 But historians tell us that it was only in the Crimean War that it became clear that the future belongs to rifled barrels. Have the weapons craftsmen been wrong and wrong for 200 years?
Rapid-firing battery of 105 barrels of 18 mm guns. Powered by one blow.
Experimental cannon with a rectangular cross section for firing three cannonballs at once. Early 18th century
Mortar battery of 25 barrels. The guns are mounted on a rotating drum. Mid 18th century
Mortar battery of 44 barrels. Mid 18th century Prototype. Was not in service.
A cannon with a rifled barrel. Also the middle of the 18th century. The description indicates that the front door.
The rocket, which was used in the Crimean War in the middle of the 19th century. This is a 1: 2 scale model.
Further, I am citing a video from the author from the Historical Freethinker channel, who, in the process of studying the exhibits, asks interesting questions to which we are unlikely to get answers:
Huge guns, knightly armor and oddities in guns from different times are just some of the oddities of this museum, which the author showed in the video.
Of course, official history has explanations for this technological gap in military artifacts. Type one did not take root, the other was expensive to manufacture. And chronological pauses in the development of technologies or even in the rollback of technologies back - so far no one recognizes.
