The story is full of amazing mysteries and puzzles. A lifetime is not enough to explain them. We can only consider, feel, think … We offer a list of finds, over which researchers are still racking their brains.
1. Stupa of Myanmar
This stupa (a cult Buddhist architectural structure) about 7 meters high stands on a huge rounded stone, which is located on the top of the mountain. The secret of the stone is that it is placed on a slope without visible fasteners and adheres very poorly to the base. This can be easily verified in practice: the stone sways from one touch.
They say that a rope can be drawn under its base. Only one question arises: how does he stay there?
2. Julsruda Collection, Mexico

This collection Voldemar Julsrud began to collect in 1944, conducting careful excavations. At the moment, there are 37 thousand artifacts in his collection!
It is amazing, but it does not have a single duplicate specimen, and 2500 of them are dinosaur figurines. The variety of their types causes true amazement: there are both species known to us, and those that modern scientists cannot identify, for example, winged dragon dinosaurs.
It is absolutely unknown who could have made all these figures, and it is clear that we know very little about those animals that inhabited our planet.
3. Abydos hieroglyphs, Egypt
On one of the beams of the temple, scientists in the 19th century discovered strange inscriptions, which they could not decipher then.
And with the onset of the new century, Egyptologists already looked at them differently. It turned out that there were embossed images of modern military equipment: helicopters, aircraft and tanks. How this can be, is still a mystery. Some Egyptologists believe that these obscure hieroglyphs were created by accident, by superimposing some symbols on others.
4. Valley of Jugs, Laos
At an altitude of about 1000 meters above sea level, huge jugs are scattered along the tops of the hills, the largest of which weighs 6 tons. They are made of stone of such rocks that are not found in this area. Little is known about the pitchers. Nobody knows where or how they got here. Some scholars believe that rice or wine was stored in them by those who lived here in ancient times.
All versions are rather dubious. One thing is certain: the age of the giant stones is not less than 2500-3000 years.
5. Black stones of Ica, Peru
The first mentions of finds of black stones with images of strange animals date back to the 16th century. The collection was assembled by Dr. Javier Cabrera for 40 years.
This is a kind of "library" of a huge number of stones with images of everyday themes, stars, instruments for space exploration, aircraft, surgical operations, maps of the Earth and other planets, a calendar. On one of the stones there is a man riding a Triceratops, and on the back of the lizard is a blanket, and the rider is holding a smoking pipe in his hands. Naturally, such images contradict not only modern ideas about the history of mankind, but also common sense. Did humans and dinosaurs live at the same time and were in such close contact?
6. Astronauts in spacesuits
A large number of drawings and figurines of various ages found around the world are interpreted as images of astronauts wearing spacesuits or sealed helmets.
You can, of course, blame everything on the artist's imagination. However, the similarities are sometimes quite surprising.
7. Egyptian hieroglyphs in Australia
For almost 100 years, these mysterious hieroglyphs have been part of local folklore, born from the accounts of eyewitnesses who accidentally found them.
There would be nothing surprising in the very fact of their existence, but it turned out that these are precisely the ancient Egyptian hieroglyphs! How they got here and who carved them - the researchers still do not know.
8. Drawings in the margins
Scientists believe that the drawings are the work of people. And indeed some of them were created by jokers. But the complexity, strict mathematical consistency of a number of them and the short time of creation indicate that people could not create such a thing and with such a speed.
According to some reports, drawings began to appear in the fields not at all recently, but at least hundreds of years ago. For example, in some parts of China, peasants have been laying stones on the ground in the form of similar patterns for so long that no one knows where this tradition came from. And in England there are such images on ancient megaliths. And such facts must also be taken into account in order to restore the picture of the past as fully as possible.
9. White Pyramid, China
The first to discover the White Pyramid at the end of World War II was American pilot James Gausman. And she was just huge. Its height is about 300 meters - it is almost 2 times higher than the Cheops pyramid. Gausman carefully examined the pyramid. The gigantic slabs are finely crafted and carefully laid and matched to each other.
It is not known what tools the ancient Chinese used, how they managed to move the plates, and then raise them to unprecedented heights. Scientists do not even know who was the true builder of the great White Pyramid.
10. Ancient map, China
This map was bought by Chinese collector Liu Gang in 2001 from an antique shop in Shanghai for $ 500.
It dates from 1763, but has the inscription: "This map was drawn by Mo Yi Tong, a subject of the Qing dynasty, during the reign of Emperor Gong Li in 1763 according to the original map of 1418". This is 74 years before the arrival of Columbus in the New World, but both Americas are already shown on the Chinese map. Moreover, both coasts are both western and eastern.
