Today, the world has collected a huge amount of reliable evidence that many of the technologies and principles used in 20th century technology were known to extinct civilizations. And the number of these testimonies is growing every month. In the ancient burials of the Aztecs, as well as in the excavated Scythian mounds of thousands of years ago, the skulls of warriors were found with signs of skillfully made trepanations and with the thinnest gold plates implanted into the holes on the head. Ancient people were remarkable dentists: both in Scythia, and in the lands of the Mayans and Aztecs, and especially in Ancient Egypt, remains of people with golden crowns and bridges in their mouths were found at different times. In the burials of the nobility (about three thousand years old) in 1998 in Giza (Egypt), two skeletons with … artificial eyes and three - with prosthetic legs and arms were found!
It is known that scientific and practical gynecology appeared in the second half of the 19th century. However, as early as 1900, the American magazine Scientific American reported sensational excavations in Pompeii. It turns out that the temple of the Vestals preserved medical instruments buried under the ash of the Vesuvius volcano, which "strikingly resemble those used in modern gynecology." They are made of good metal and are of the same quality as today! The inhabitants of Hellas knew how to make excellent steam boilers, which, however, were not widely used at that time.
In 1900, a sponge catcher Mikkael Tsanis from the Antikythera Island lifted an ugly bronze object from a 12-meter depth, the purpose of which no one understood. And only after almost 60 years, Professor D. Sollara, who studied the curiosities of the Antikythera Museum, recognized it as an extremely amazing mechanism! It was an aggregate with a complex set of plates, levers, gears, representing … an exact model of the solar system! Of course, it was used to calculate the orbits of planetary motion. It is curious that Mars on the aggregate was painted red, the Earth - green, and the Moon - silver … "It becomes just scary and extremely annoying when you think that on the eve of the death of their civilization the ancient Greeks managed to get so close to the civilization of the 20th century!" - wrote Dr. Price in 1960 in Scientific American.
Four thousand years ago in Great Britain lived a small community of people who were at the level of the Stone Age. Using primitive tools made of stone and bone, they could hardly support their existence. However, these people in some incomprehensible way managed to create quarries in the Cambrian mountains and extract there huge blocks of stone weighing up to 30 tons, which were then dragged over a distance of 240 miles to the area of modern Amesbury and placed in circles with the highest accuracy! This structure was named Stonehenge, which means "Hanging Stones". (See separate story about Stonehenge.) Astronomers and other scientists have studied Stonehenge for centuries. According to their conclusion, the installation of stone blocks was calculated taking into account the position of celestial bodies and the phases of the moon. Thus, the whole structure is probablyis a giant prehistoric calendar. Those who developed the Stonehenge project knew mathematics and astronomy well.
While excavating south of Baghdad, German archaeologist Dr. Wilhelm König discovered electrochemical batteries that are more than two thousand years old! The central elements were copper cylinders with an iron rod, and the cylinders were soldered with a lead-tin alloy, which is still used today. Engineer Gray made an absolute copy of such a battery, and, amazingly, it worked for a long time, being presented to visitors to the exhibition of technical experiments in Munich!
It is appropriate to recall the notorious "Colombian golden plane" - a rarity accidentally discovered by experts among the exhibits of the Columbia Historical Museum. Its antiquity has been proven: the analysis showed that the thing belongs to the turn of the 1st and 2nd millennia. The eight centimeter figurine from a museum in Bogotá is an exact replica of a 1970s jet fighter! Moreover, its enlarged model, tested on an aircraft stand, showed excellent aerodynamic qualities and covered more than 200 meters in free flight! The manuscripts of the Ancient East contain a lot of information about aircraft in India one and a half thousand years before the birth of Christ! We are talking about vimanas - "rumbling flying carriages with people inside." The crash was apparently a jet engine.
In ancient Chinese myths, we are talking about the legendary civilization Chi-Ki. Its representatives used "air crews". The Chronicle of Scientists says that the great engineer of the Han dynasty created a bamboo apparatus with a mechanism inside, with which the pilot could fly about two kilometers. An ancient propeller device is described in a manuscript of the alchemist Ko Huin dated 320 AD: "Flying baskets were made, the interior of which was made of wood, and leather straps were attached to the rotating blades to set the mechanism in motion."
According to the historian William Dale, the ancient Egyptians climbed beyond the clouds on hot air-filled balloons and primitive gliders, which was the privilege of exclusively members of the pharaonic family. "Many members of the royal family," says Dale, "died with broken legs and multiple injuries that could have been sustained in a fall with the aircraft." Based on his research, the scientist suggests that Tutankhamun was the victim of a plane crash! He came to this startling discovery after 20 years of studying the history of Ancient Egypt. William Dale is convinced that the strange objects with wings depicted in numerous frescoes are nothing more than the first flying machines! The historian personally made a dozen of such devices (models), and it turned out that "many of them feel great in the air."According to the scientist, the Egyptians launched the first balloon in 3225 BC. BC, and the glider - 2000 years later. The balloons and gliders were made of papyrus and had a wingspan of up to 18 meters. They were launched from steep cliffs or pyramid-like structures and could cover distances of up to 80 kilometers!
