History that is forbidden
The book The Unknown History of Humanity by Michael Cremo and Richard Thompson provides astonishing data that the scientific world was once aware of. For a long time, this information was out of sight of scientists due to the so-called filtration of knowledge. The bottom line is that modern man has existed on our planet for many millions of years.
Cremo and Thompson are scathing criticism of the long-imposed view of human origins and the process by which such a view became dominant. Steve Moore expressed an opinion in this regard: “If the history of mankind is presented in the form of a gigantic museum that contains all the knowledge in this area, then it turns out that several halls of such a museum were locked. At the behest of scientists, facts that contradict generally accepted historical concepts are kept under lock and key. Cremo and Thompson managed to find the keys to many of the locked rooms, giving access to the secret rooms to both ordinary visitors and the scientists themselves. The latter were no less shocked than the former, which is understandable. After all, "The Unknown History of Humanity" largely expands the boundaries of the kingdom of science,at the same time questioning many of the seemingly unshakable views on man and his history."
Some scientists believe that it is necessary - people existed in the Miocene and Eocene. Some bold thinkers even suggest that modern humans lived at that time. But now we look into much more distant times. We will learn about finds that are very hard to believe.
Unusual human skeletons
• December 1862 - A newsletter called Geology ran a short but extremely interesting note: “Human bones were recently discovered in Macoupin County, Illinois, buried at a depth of 90 feet (27 meters) in a coal seam beneath a shale rocks 2 feet (60 cm) thick … The bones found were covered with a crust or layer of hard, shiny substance, the color of which was not much different from coal, but when this substance was scraped off, the bones were naturally white. The coal in Macoupin County, where the skeleton was found, is at least 286 million years old, and possibly as much as 320 million years old!
• 1911 - A skeleton with an anatomical structure corresponding to modern humans was discovered by Reid Moir in ice age deposits of clay and pebbles, near the city of Ipswich, East Anglia. The study of this find confirmed it, possibly a very ancient age. The skeleton was found at a depth of 1.38 meters between layers of clay and pebbles and sandy deposits of the Ice Age, which can be up to 400,000 years old. Scientists have checked, the strata in the place of its discovery and above it remained intact. Regarding the state of the bone remains, Dr. Arthur Keith claims, it roughly corresponded to the normal state of the bones of Pleistocene animals found in glacial sandy deposits.

The glacial sandy layer in which the Ipswich skeleton was found formed, in all likelihood, about 330,000 years ago, between the onset of the English glaciation and the beginning of the Hoxnian Interglacial. Accordingly, the age of the Ipswich skeleton ranges from 330 to 400,000 years. Some experts believe that the Mindelian glaciation (corresponding to English) occurred 600,000 years ago, and this pushes the probable age of the Ipswich skeleton even further into the depths of millennia. On the other hand, it is generally accepted that modern human beings first appeared in Western Europe no earlier than 30,000 years ago.
• 1924 - in the area of the South African village of Taung, at a shallow depth of the river bank, local residents discovered a skull that did not resemble either ape or a human, but was something in between. Its age is 2.5 million years.
• 1925 - in the quarry of a brick factory near the town of Odintsov near Moscow, excavators scooped up sand with a bucket, in which a fossilized model of a human brain turned out to be. Moscow paleontologists have clearly established that the find refers to the time when there should have been no life on our planet at all, and the very nature of such a silicon masterpiece could not create.
• In the mid-20s of the 19th century, gold diggers in California discovered a large number of skeletons of Caucasoid people, spearheads, and various tools. These finds were carefully studied by a group of scientists led by the chief archaeologist under the American government, Dr. Vinti. She found that the age of the rocks in which human bones and objects were walled up is not less than 10, but not more than 50 million years.
• In the Odessa catacombs (Ukraine), bones were examined, processed with a metal tool about a million years ago.
• During archaeological excavations, you can often come across the oldest bone remains with round holes, very similar to bullet holes. In Northern Rhodesia, a skull of an ancient man was found with such a hole: its edges are absolutely smooth, without cracks. Scientists have described the skulls of animals with the same traces of damage.
Over the past two centuries, researchers have found bones and other objects showing that people like us existed on our planet millions of years ago. But the keepers of the foundations of science kept silent, did not pay attention or simply forgot about these incredible facts. Why? Because they contradict the dominant views among scientists on the history of antiquity and the origins of humanity.
Mysterious finds
We will see how information about the discovery of objects of material culture in certain layers did not appear in the reports for the reason that the researchers who discovered them considered the age they established was simply incredible. It is extremely difficult to avoid this due to the imperfection of our senses: a person who sees what, according to his convictions, should not be, prefers not to believe his eyes. In many cases, this is exactly the case. People, due to the limited nature of human nature, mislead each other by keeping silent about important facts, and this, unfortunately, leads to rather disastrous results in the process of empirical knowledge.
• 1870 - Aewellin Pierce gave written evidence of the following content: “I, the undersigned, have given Mr. SD today. I howl a stone mortar to be kept in his collection of ancient stone relics. In all likelihood, the mortar was made by man. The sample was discovered by me around 1862 in the gravels of Tuolumna Mesa, California, about 200 feet (61 meters) from the surface, under a sixty-foot (18.3 meters) basalt layer, and about 1800 feet (550 meters) from the entrance to the tunnel. The find was made at the mine of the Boston Tunnel Company."
The age of the gravels in which the mortar was found ranges from 33 to 55 million years, made from andesite - a rock of volcanic origin. As it turned out, in the pre-volcanic gravels deep under the latite "cap" of Table Mountain, next to the mortar, Pierce found another artifact: a small oval-shaped object made of dark slate, with a melon and a leaf carved into the bas-relief. The nature of the carving suggests that it was applied with a steel blade and that the work was done by a skilled craftsman. " It is possible with good reason to assert that shale was cultivated by humans of a relatively high cultural level in the period from 33 to 55 million years ago!
• In the curator of the Belgian Royal Museum of Natural History in Brussels, A. Ruteau made a number of discoveries, which at the beginning of the 20th century gave a new quality to anomalously ancient flint tools. Ryuto attributed most of the flint tools he found to the Early Pleistocene. And in 1907, his research was marked by new, even more incredible finds in sand pits near Boncel, in the Belgian Ardennes. The layers in which the prehistoric tools were found date back to the Oligocene period, which means that their age ranges from 25 to 38 million years!
Among them were chisels, stone anvils, knives, scrapers, drills, and throwing stones. They all showed obvious signs of intelligent processing and fit perfectly into the human hand. Ryuto's detailed account of the Boonsel finds was posted in the Bulletin of the Belgian Society of Geology, Paleontology and Hydrology. Ryuto stated that similar stone tools to the Boncels had been found earlier in the Oligocene layers beneath Barak Michel and in the Bay Bonnet Cave. Flint tools have also been found in the Middle Pliocene horizons at Rosart, on the left bank of the Meuse.
• The famous archaeologist Osmond Fisher made another interesting discovery. In his 1912 survey, he wrote: “While searching for fossil remains in the Eocene Barton Cliff, I found a piece of material that looked like black amber, 9.5 inches (24.13 cm) long and wide and 2.25 inches (5.72 cm) in thickness … At least one of the sides of the find bore what I associated with traces of processing, which gave the object a neat square shape.
The specimen is currently housed in the Sedgwick Museum, Cambridge. Black amber is a highly polished, velvety black charcoal often used by jewelers. The Eocene era reigned on Earth about 55-38 million years ago!
• Scientists of the 19th century found numerous tools and samples of weapons in the sediments of the Early Pleistocene, Pliocene, Miocene, etc. The finds were reported in specialized scientific publications. This topic has been discussed at scientific conferences. But today you rarely hear anything about them. Whole categories of facts have been consigned to oblivion.
• In Argentina, in the Santacrusian and Enterreanian formations, the paleologist Florentino Ameghino found stone tools with incised bones and traces of fire located nearby. The age of the Santacrusian formation is determined by the Early and Middle Miocene. That is, the age of the tools found there is 15-25 million years. In many places, Amegino found traces of fire, the temperature of which was significantly higher than that of a simple fire. This is evidenced by large blocks of hard clay and slag. It is likely that they could be the remains of primitive foundries or kilns for burning or drying clay, which were used by creatures that lived in the territory of modern Argentina during the Pliocene.
• Are tertiary stone tools exactly like those of modern humans? Soon it became inconvenient to report such things, it was unfashionable to defend, and it was considered convenient to forget about them. Such views remain so strong to this day that discoveries that pose even the slightest challenge to views of human prehistory are effectively suppressed.
• Intentional information hiding has been practiced for a long time. Back in 1880, J. Whitney, the chief geologist of the state of California (America), published a lengthy account of ancient stone tools found in California gold mines. These devices, including spearheads, stone mortars and pestles, have been found in deep adits under thick, intact lava layers, within geological formations ranging from 9 to over 55 million years old.
• In the early 1950s, Thomas Lee, an employee of the Canadian National Museum, found fairly sophisticated stone tools in the Shegayanda glacial deposits on Manitulen Island in the northern part of Lake Huron. According to geologist John Sanford of Wayne State University, the earliest finds from Shegayanda are at least 65,000 years old, and maybe all 125,000 years old. But supporters of the traditional point of view on the ancient history of North America, according to which the first people penetrated there from Siberia about 12,000 years ago, did not want to agree with this.
• Scientists from Italy have discovered in the foothills of southern Sahara a huge cemetery of dinosaurs and the bones of monstrous flying reptiles that lived here when the area was 100 million years ago was a Jurassic swamp. Even more remarkable, a flint arrowhead was found near these preserved fossils - an obvious sign of the presence of an ancient man.
• Many stone tools have been found in Siberia, which are about 2 million years old. For example, in 1961, near Gorno-Altaysk on the Utalinka River, hundreds of rough pebble tools were discovered. 1984 - scientists A. P. Okladnikov and L. A. Ragozhin reported that these tools were found in layers that are 1.5-2.5 million years old. Another Russian scientist, Yuri Molchanov, discovered stone tools similar to European eoliths (stone fragments with cutting edges) at a parking lot near the Lena River near the village of Urlak. According to the potassium-argon and magnesium methods, the age of the formations with the found tools is approximately 1.8 million years.
• In the book "Mineralogy", Count Bournon wrote about a discovery made by French workers at the end of the 18th century when mining soft sandstone near Aixins-Provence. Sandstone was mined in layers and hardened in the air. At a depth of 40-50 feet, workers removed the seam and a layer of clay sand that separated the eleventh seam from the twelfth, and there they found the remains of columns and fragments of semi-finished stone (it was stone that was quarried). They also found engravings, hammer handles and other tools, and fragments of wooden tools. Particular attention was drawn to the 1 "thick and 7-8 feet long board. It broke into many parts, not one of them was lost and they could be connected again and return this board or plate to its original appearance. She was of the same type that masons and miners use;was similarly erased, and its edges were the same rounded and corrugated.
• All over the world find only ancient, but rather intricate stone tools. So, in the 60s of the XX century, similar tools were found in the town of Huayatlaco, Mexico, in sediments, the age of which was determined by means of uranium tests as more than 200 thousand years. In the 19th century, very sophisticated stone tools were repeatedly found in the gold mines of California, in gravel strata, apparently dating back to the Eocene.
A well-known fragment of a polished wooden plank, about 500 thousand years old, was found in 1989 as a result of excavations in the northern Jordan Valley in Israel.
