For many, the fact has already developed that a highly developed civilization existed in the past. One of the examples of its existence is megalithic masonry of blocks weighing thousands of tons and traces of stone processing with cutting tools (huge grinders or water-jet cutting or plasma torches). Comrade A. Sklyarov showed many examples, but he himself finds it difficult to answer how this was done. But there are more examples. These are some cult things among some peoples, which, apparently, by analogy with our technical and electronic devices, were also devices and installations.
Tefillin
A modern tourist who visits the Western Wall at the Temple Mount in Jerusalem and is far from knowing the traditions of the Jewish religion is surprised to see that some Jews perform some strange ritual before their prayer - they put some objects on their heads and hands. This ritual is called "imposing tefillin".
Tefillin consists of two main parts - tefillin shel-rosh (that is, tefillin placed on the head) and tefillin shel-poison (that is, tefillin placed on the hand). Each of them is a small black cube box called a byte, which contains scrolls with excerpts from the Torah. Through the holes in the bases of each byte, retsuot are threaded - black leather straps, with which the tefillin are fastened on the arm and on the head. The imposition of tefillin must be done before praying to God.
But what is “prayer to God”?.. This is an appeal to God, a connection with God. Actually, this is exactly how the Jews interpret it when they explain that the meaning of the ritual is communication with God. However, why additional elements are needed in the form of boxes on belts, no one can specify.

From the point of view of ordinary logic, if God is a perfect supernatural being, communication with whom takes place on a spiritual level, then where are some additional material adaptations?.. They are not needed for spiritual communication. But they are!.. And the whole procedure is very much like … communication on a modern mobile phone or walkie-talkie!.. We actually actually use some special devices to communicate with God.
A combination of iconic and modern communications.
There is also an instruction for use:
1. All Jews - men and boys aged 13 and over - must wear Tefillin.
2. Tefillin dress every day except Saturday and some holidays.
3. Tefillin can be worn throughout the day, but tefillin is best worn in the morning during prayer.
4. It is forbidden to wear or wear tefillin at night …
5. There are two tefillin to wear: head and hand.
6. Those who write with the right hand should put Tefillin on their left hand, and those who write with their left hand should put Tefillin on their right hand.
7. The head tefillin is put on the top of the head. The lower edge of the head tefillin should be slightly above the hairline, exactly in the middle of the head.
The spiral from the belt on the arm is an analogue of the antenna in the gigahertz range (assuming that the belt was conductive):
The box could be an amplifying and detecting path. Then it turns out that our body can radiate in this range? Do thoughts have an electromagnetic component that can be transmitted and received through devices?
It is quite logical that if the gods, for some reason, considered it necessary to communicate not only with each other, but also with one of the people, then they had to provide such transceiver devices and the corresponding person. Of course, such people were priests and priests - the persons closest to the gods, the chosen ones. And if now almost any believing Jew can wear tefillin before prayer, earlier only representatives of the higher clergy had the right to do so …
Tokin
Many thousands of kilometers from Israel, on the other side of the world, there is a similar ritual in Japan. Japanese hermit monks, the Yamabushi, place small black boxes called tokin on their foreheads, just as the Jews do their tefillin. The size of the tokin is practically the same as that of the Jewish tefillin, only the tefillin is cube-shaped and the tokin is round. However, in Japan, even the ban on the use of this "means of communication" to the first comer was preserved - not all monks wear tokin, but only yamabushi. Yamabushi means "sleeping in the mountains". These are followers of the Shugendo movement, who retired to the mountains for ascetic practice.
An interesting analogy with an old man on an icon and something on his head.
All yamabushi have red or green "balls" hanging. Which can also be something that has grown into a cult.
Tefillin and tokin, of course, are no longer any real means of communication. They are just imitation. But the imitation is quite indicative …
Mezuzah
In Israel, the use of another similar object is widespread, which is called the mezuzah. Mezuzah is actually an integral part of any Jewish home. Its purpose (in the modern sense) is to protect the house from diseases and enemies, that is, to perform the functions of a kind of protective, protective barrier.
Actually, the term "mezuzah" is used to denote two objects at once - a scroll of parchment made of the skin of a ritually pure (kosher) animal, containing part of the text of the prayer Sh
Modern "boxes" - mezuzahs are quite diverse. With a general similarity in shape, they have different sizes and different patterns decorating them. They are placed at the entrances of not only residential buildings, but also other very different premises. For example, there are mezuzahs that are installed at the entrance to a special structure with security scanners (similar to those found at airports).
Mezuzah on the square near the Western Wall.
When a Jew enters a house, he is obliged to touch his hands to the mezuzah, say the words of the prayer, and then kiss the fingers that touched the mezuzah. This is how the ritual of guarding a given room is believed to work.
This procedure is very similar to the use of a certain sensor that picks up a voice and reads fingerprints, that is, some kind of device that prevents unwanted persons from entering there.
In fact, it turns out that the Jews reproduce as a ritual actions that are associated with the security functions of a high-tech device, but already in the absence of this device itself. There is a preservation of certain actions, but with a partial loss of meaning (the meaning of the mezuzah as a security "device" is preserved). That is, the original object has been lost, and a dummy is used instead. There is even a special instruction on how to install the mezuzah (from the link in the source at the end of the article).
Modern fingerprint sensor.
Laser motion sensor. The analogy is clear.
It is curious that, having lost real technical devices, the Jews retained (in addition to the installation rules) special and clear instructions for the disposal of spoiled mezuzahs and the manufacture of new ones. The forms of execution of the mezuzah themselves are also very clearly regulated, and the regulations resemble our standards (GOST, OST and TR).
Periodic checking of the mezuzah for "serviceability" is also regulated. Mezuzahs in a residential area should be checked twice in seven years, and in a public place - once every 50 years. However, it is advisable to check them more often, as they can easily become unusable due to humidity, temperature changes and the like. Therefore, it is customary to check the mezuzah whenever there are changes in the life of the family - for example, if the wife becomes pregnant, after moving to another country, and so on. There is also a Chabad custom - to check the mezuzahs every year in the month of Elul, which evokes associations with the requirement for an annual check of instruments in metrology …
Menorah
Now it is a lamp for candles, and earlier, it is possible that there was something more complex and technological:
There is even such a joke (in no case I want to offend the religious feelings of the Jews - everything is just as an analogy):
Kaaba
Kaaba (cube) ") is a Muslim shrine in the form of a cubic building in the courtyard of the Masjid al-Haram (Protected Mosque) in Mecca. This is one of the main places that gathers, according to the Qur'anic instructions, pilgrims during the Hajj. The Kaaba bears the symbolic name "al-Bayt al-Haram", which means "sacred house" in Arabic
The device and description of the Kaaba.
Isn't it a reactor or a power plant left by the Gods on Earth? Only the aborigines did not preserve it. Either they were guards or maintenance personnel of the installation, but did not retain knowledge about it - only a cult remained.
Kaaba inside.
There is such an element. Polished Black Stone in Mecca, set in a silver setting.
The black stone, hajar al-aswad, is an egg-shaped stone built into one of the walls of the Kaaba. According to Islamic tradition, the Black Stone was once in paradise. The black stone is located in the eastern corner of the Kaaba at a height of 1.5 m and is enclosed in a silver frame.
The visible surface of the stone has an area of approximately 16.5 × 20 cm. The black stone consists of several fragments of a reddish-black color, inserted into a dark base. 7-8 pieces of stone are visible. There are various hypotheses about the origin of the black stone.
According to Muslim tradition, Allah gave it to Adam, and initially he was a white yahont, but gradually turned black, saturated with human sins.
The non-Muslim tradition, as a rule, considers it a meteorite, but it has not yet been possible to unequivocally prove this. The Natural History Museum in London suggests that the stone may be a pseudometeorite, in other words, a stone of terrestrial origin, mistakenly attributed to meteorites.
Cuvuklia (in the Church of the Holy Sepulcher in Jerusalem)
Why build a chapel inside a temple? Or are some temples not temples in the past?
Ark of the Covenant
Officially from Jewish tradition - this is a box for storing the tablets with the commandments, as well as manna and the staff of Aaron. But it is very strange that it was impossible to touch him:
Oza is killed by touching the Ark of the Covenant.
Wooden poles made it possible to move the Ark without touching it. From the film "Indiana Jones".
Tabernacle where the Ark was kept. Light effects from descriptions.
Ephod priest
Protection, identification marks or something else?
There are also enough religious things in Christianity: staffs, clothes, etc. And in India - varjs:
So, collecting all this in one - we can get some ideas that some man-made devices got people either from the Gods or from a civilization that had died earlier.
