Antarctica, despite the fact that there are permanent scientific stations of several states, and at the beginning of the XXI century remains the most mysterious continent. The inaccessibility, harsh climate and eternal ice reliably hide its secrets.
But thanks to technological progress today, through the thickness of ice and water, we can clearly see the relief of this continent from space and the bottom of the oceans washing it. What he has seen is striking in its grandeur, but there is something that is generally difficult to imagine the result of some natural, natural transformations.
We are talking about huge pits on some parts of the Antarctic shelf, which are very similar to giant open pit mines with excavation. These "quarries" are located in the sector between 75 degrees West longitude and 163 degrees East longitude in the waters of the Bellingshausen, Amundsen and Ross Seas.
They are located along the coastal edge of the continent with a length of 3,700-4,000 km, partly under a thick ice fast ice, the so-called ice shelf. There are also "notches" in the Weddell Sea in the sector between 8 degrees west. debt. and 48 degrees West. debt. on a 1400 km shelf area.
It is impossible to explain their appearance as a consequence of the chaotic movement of glaciers - their geometry is surprisingly stable and logical. All of them are oriented strictly from south to north, and this does not always coincide with the direction of the mainland slopes, from which ice masses randomly slide onto the shelf. In addition, many offshore quarries are located in that part of the continent on which glaciers cannot form at all, capable of plowing the shelf several kilometers deep and tens or even hundreds of kilometers in length, thus forming perfectly regular straight trenches.
The idea of the artificial origin of the excavations is also prompted by a huge mine, which is connected with a smaller one - 57 by 23 km - by a relatively narrow passage, 3.8 km wide and about 10 km long. In order for the glacier to do this, it would have to "jump" this distance.
At the same time, the scale of the "completed work", even if they were performed in surface conditions, is incredible for their implementation by modern mankind, given, first of all, the current level of technology development and, in general, the conditions for creating sufficient production potential for these purposes …
Apparently, the age of these grooves is different. Some of them are older than others and are covered with a layer of sedimentary deposits. Their outlines are, as it were, blurred and barely distinguishable. Most of these career-like formations have clear outlines, which may indicate their later appearance.
Promotional video:
It is characteristic that the part of the gigantic shelf area, on which the notches are located, seems to be specially leveled by someone and is a flat strip, up to 250 km wide, bounded on the opposite side from the mainland by a shaft with a total length of 1,300 km … The shaft originates in the shelf area the isthmus of the Antarctic Peninsula in the Bellingshausen Sea and stretches to the Ross Sea, approaching the shelf area in an arc.
In the area of the Ross and Amundsen Seas, the swell has a gentle slope, rising above the site by a maximum of 1 km; then, in the Bellingshausen Sea area, the slope becomes steep, almost vertical and in some places reaches 3 km above the site level. What was it? What kind of powerful "bulldozer" cut hundreds of billions of cubic meters of soil, preparing the site?
Some notches on the site are located separately, but most of them seem to continue one another. Most likely, the first quarries were developed from the side of the Antarctic Peninsula. It is there that the oldest excavations with blurred outlines are located due to a thick layer of sedimentary deposits. It seems that this was the first stage of development. Quarries have an arbitrary configuration and thus do not resemble one another.
But there are several features that tie all career educations into a single system. This suggests that the work was carried out by one "builder", according to one plan and using a single technology. Each quarry has been opened to a depth of about 1 km, while from the mainland they have straight and gentle slopes 4-5 km long.
At the bottom of the quarries, along their entire length, there are depressions strictly parallel to each other, similar to straight trenches up to 2.5 km deep and up to 1 km wide with equal intervals of about 1 km between them. In the longest opencast mine, the trenches are 200 km long.
The quarries have practically vertical side walls, and the end walls on the side opposite to the gentle slope are formed by the characteristic, in most cases, at a steep angle, "exit" of trenches to the surface of the shelf area.
As already mentioned, the orientation of all quarries or trenches forming quarries occurs along the meridians of the Earth, from south to north. It seems that the work was carried out by a huge rotary installation with a working tool width of at least a kilometer, which left characteristic traces. Or maybe it was equipment, the structure and principle of operation of which we cannot even imagine?
It is quite possible that flying or floating installations were used to carry out this work, because there are no traces of their movements on the "working site". It is also possible that it was a huge spaceship, or an armada of alien scoop ships, designed to dig for soil and transport it to the planet from which they came.
An example of extraterrestrial extraction of minerals so far in immeasurably smaller volumes can be the extraction of minerals on the Moon planned by earthlings in the near future. But what were the goals of the possible aliens developing quarries on Earth? Did they extract soil from the bottom of the ocean, or were they mining when the present Antarctic shelf was dry land?
Perhaps the soil was excavated in Antarctica and used for some kind of construction work, for example, to raise the level of some parts of the continent. The second possible target is mining. This version is supported by a different configuration of open pits, they seem to repeat the size of the areas of unknown mineral deposits on the Antarctic shelf.
There are certainly other explanations. Perhaps these careers were left by representatives of past civilizations, for example, Atlanteans. Indeed, as is known from Plato's records, they controlled vast territories and had extensive colonies on the islands and continents of the Earth. But another version is possible - this is the development of events in recent history that took place before the outbreak of World War II, when the German Nazis, after the first expedition, discovered huge voids under the ice shell and in the bowels of Antarctica with a warm microclimate.
Immediately after the discovery of these anomalies in Antarctica, all their further studies were classified, and the Nazis began construction of the secret city of New Swabia, code-named "Base 211". At the same time, regular transport links between Antarctica and Germany began, first by surface ships, and then by transport submarines specially built for this purpose. It lasted until 1945.
According to data collected by American intelligence, German transports then transported to Antarctica in a huge amount of various materials and equipment, including special cutters for driving mine workings and tunnels, many different leading specialists and highly qualified workers, and secret laboratories and enterprises were created. …
Shortly after the defeat of Germany in 1945, the United States organized several naval expeditions to the Antarctic continent and Queen Maud Land. According to eyewitnesses, one of the expeditions then collided with unknown disc-shaped aircraft.
They flew straight from under the water and rushed silently at great speed, practically touching the masts, firing at ships and aircraft with unknown rays. The battle lasted only twenty minutes, and the discs disappeared under water again. For a short attack, the military squadron suffered serious damage and was forced to flee.
These and many other facts indicate that the fascists then managed to create in Antarctica an isolated self-sufficient civilization with enormous knowledge and technical capabilities. It is no longer a secret that Antarctica and its shelf have the richest reserves of many minerals.
Therefore, it is not excluded that on the aforementioned German base, devices that could move and work under water organized the extraction of minerals imperceptible on the surface of the seas. This version is supported by the fact that the quarry formations look very fresh and recent workings that have not yet had time to be covered with bottom sediments.
But so far all of the named versions, as well as the careers themselves, look fantastic. The riddle remains unsolved to the questions: "Who, when and why did the enormous amount of work ?!" - no answers yet.
I would like to believe that experts will pay attention to this phenomenon. And, perhaps, expeditions will be organized, research conducted. Who knows, maybe the one who at one time developed these quarries and extracted minerals did not extract everything, leaving something valuable for us. In any case, it is necessary to look for answers to these questions. Perhaps this knowledge will help our civilization to walk confidently along the path of progress.
