One of the main concepts offered by alternative historians is that there used to be a highly developed civilization, which, as a result of any events, disappeared from the face of the earth.
This version is confirmed by inconsistencies in history, manipulation of multi-ton blocks in ancient construction, the absence of forests, buried cities, ideal forms fitted to each other with high precision.
The past civilization was very technological, but what we have today is just a shadow of what is gone, we do not manipulate huge blocks in construction, we build from what is convenient for us, there is no industrial equipment of the past civilization, but there are remnants of it in the form of the remains of ancient construction.
But if a bygone civilization was much more developed than ours, then it had to use all the chemical elements in its activities.
Alternative historians found large-scale traces of the extraction of rocks, found quarries, found how raw materials were mined on the planet and waste slag dumps. Found using analogies. Some examples:
The cave city of Crimea, which is very similar to a modern limestone quarry, which in a few years may also look like an ancient city:
Find 10 differences:
Promotional video:
There are 1000 km of catacombs in Crimea in which huge amounts of limestone were sawn. Officially, they say that the stone has been mined with hand tools for many years.
The White Mountain in Crimea is very reminiscent of a limestone quarry, the hill was cut off, the embankment remained at the foot of the limestone crumb.
The river washed out the mountain range, resulting in a valley:
And here is the modern mining of iron ore. Looks like.
The opinion is based on the fact that it is difficult to distinguish artificial from natural, although of course natural power can do everything.
Ural Magnetic Mountain:
Goblin Valley:
Antarctica:
But it doesn't look natural, it looks exactly like a very old quarry. There are quarries and natural untouched mountains, and the difference is simply amazing.
Deserts are also all artificial, since the top layer was cut off and huge quarries were obtained.
Then we replace all the seas and oceans with the word flooded quarries, and all mountain ranges, peaks and archipelagos are waste heaps and we get a huge scale of development of an ancient civilization.
Waste rock residues dump waste rock heaps that can burn and explode.
Huge waste heaps are already overgrown with modern grass:
And here is Vesuvius:
And the opinion is that everything is artificial and deserts and mountains and volcanoes, everything is everything, there are a lot of such analogies on the net.
What conclusions then:
It could not be an alien civilization, because why would a civilization capable of overcoming the speed of light, otherwise they would not have flown to extract ore in a way known to us in a primitive level of technology development? Any rocky planet contains ore, any asteroid contains ore, only photons of light can reach the speed of light, i.e. fundamentally different technologies are needed.
If only this is originally our civilization, gone. Suppose the Earth was the third generation in this system. Before her, the same account befell Phaethon and Mars. Phaeton was the most unlucky. They took it eagerly and to the maximum, which later led to the fact that the planet simply fell apart, already some time after the processing of the second nearby planet was over. The entire top layer was stripped off Mars. Civilization has disappeared. There was nowhere to hide, it was not possible to survive.
