Some of the ancient artifacts are so amazing that they become a real sensation not only among scientists, but also for many people around the world.
This artifact was found in Florida and the peculiarity of the mask is that it is made of a rare metal, iridium, which can only be obtained from meteorites that have fallen to Earth.
Scientists have studied this artifact and established the approximate age of the mask, which is from 10 to 12 thousand years. The mask is very thin and experts are amazed at the technology with which the artifact was made.
On the surface there is a drawing that experts consider the deity of the Incas - Viracocha. The Incas considered this deity to be the creator, who emerged from Titicaca and gave light to the Earth.
Experts believe that the artifact was stolen by the Spaniards in 1715 and the mask was transported along with other ancient treasures to the ship "La Concepcion", which sank due to damage during a severe storm.
The mask washed ashore, but other treasures are hidden somewhere in the depths and the value of the rest of the values may be more than $ 5 billion.
But if the age of this artifact is indeed from 10 to 12 thousand years, then it turns out that ancient people were able to extract materials of extraterrestrial origin and make various artifacts from them, but why iridium?
