At one of the excavations that took place in the 21st century in Egypt (northeastern part), a clay cylinder was discovered. In the tomb of an 18th century official, archaeologists have found strange only this object (an Egyptian nesting doll), 40 cm high and 15 cm wide. There was a cylinder in the tomb of Erat Tusan. After opening the cylinder, surprise engulfed everyone present, as they discovered a doll made of wood in the shape of a pear. The figurine was beautifully painted and covered with high-quality varnish, which over time did not deteriorate at all, did not give cracks or chips. On one side of the toy there is an image of Pharaoh Amenhotep. None of the excavations in Egypt have ever had such strange finds.
Later, another oddity was discovered - the figurine was divided into two halves, inside there was another figurine, but with a different pharaoh. Among the 12 figurines was Ramses and, finally, the smallest, three centimeters in size, a strange figurine depicting a man smoking a pipe. Archaeologists were at a loss as to where such a toy came from in Egypt, and why all the dolls are mixed, not in accordance with Egyptian chronologies. Also, archaeologists were puzzled by the question who is this last character with a pipe in his mouth?
The toy is made in the shape of a pear, it can be disassembled, inside there are many other toys of the same shape, but of a smaller size - our matryoshka is made according to the same principle, but where did people get such a toy in Egypt a thousand years before our era? After a closer inspection of the tomb and sarcophagus, archaeologists saw on the walls the symbols known to all our students - integrals. All scientists believed that integrals were invented by the Belgian scientist Newton in 1686. Archaeologists say that for a thousand years there have been no traces of the opening of the tomb or penetration by other means. It is not known how the integrals and the toy in the form of matryoshka got there. It is also not clear what connects the ancient excavations with the present and when were integrals and nesting dolls actually invented?
In addition to the familiar symbols, the walls of the tomb are painted with ancient hieroglyphs. Cryptographers and mathematicians study the inscriptions. Excavations of such a mysterious tomb have not so much opened the veil of ancient secrets, but on the contrary - they have given new riddles that our scientific contemporaries have to uncover.
