The mystery of archaeological finds
• 1934 - American Emma Khan, a supporter of walking, found a seemingly ordinary hammer in the vicinity of London (Texas). It was one with the limestone, which is more than 100 million years old …
• 1907 - in one of the English quarries, workers found a gold thread in a rock, about 17 cm long. How it ended up in the oldest earthly rock is unknown …
• 1912 - An American worker, while burning a huge furnace at a power plant in Oklahoma, found a vessel in a huge lump of coal that resembled a pot. This vessel was made of an unknown metal, incredibly light and strong.
• 1927 - in the US state of Nevada, road construction workers found a "footprint of a man in a boot" in a rock. The print is absolutely clear and looks as if its owner accidentally stepped into soft mud, which later turned to stone. It should be noted that the rock is over 20 million years old.
• Early 1930s - Geologists from the American University of Kentucky examined two more similar prints. The footprints left in the limestone represent a clear imprint of a human foot in a shoe. One of the prints shows unusual seams and strange fasteners. According to scientists, the person who left these tracks, in terms of his parameters, that is, height, weight and foot size, was very close to a modern person.
• 1931 - The Secret Treasure by A. Hiatt Verrill was published, which described how the coins were found in the sandstone at Chute Forest near Stonehenge in a gravel pit in Westerham, Kent.
• 1977 - scientists from Leningrad, who were on an Antarctic expedition, found wood chips in samples of deep-sea ice taken during deep drilling of the Antarctic glacier … As you know, earlier, before glaciation began many millions of years ago, there was no ice in Antarctica It was. In this regard, the chips found were probably part of some tree that grew there even before the continent was covered with ice.

In addition, several hairs about 2 cm long and as thick as human hair were found there. These hairs were examined under a microscope at 100x magnification. It turned out that they are pieces of metal wire of an unusual golden hue.
Curiously, all the hairs found in different samples of Antarctic ice were of the same length, they had smooth ends, as if they were carefully cut, and they had almost no elasticity. When trying to squeeze them with iron tweezers, dents formed on the hairs, as, for example, on soft metal - aluminum.
After that, one of the hairs was subjected to chemical analysis by successive exposure to hydrochloric, sulfuric, nitric and acetic acids. Alas, a miracle - a hair passed all these tests, which could indicate only one thing: it was golden!
More than a decade passed, other unusual finds were made in the thickness of the Antarctic ice … So, for example, Norwegian scientists discovered there a whole "set" of unique objects: gold jewelry, made, no doubt, by the hand of a genius craftsman; golden dishes, striking with bizarre shapes and finishes of the rarest beauty; golden masks that look like either unknown animals, or like an unknown race of humanoid creatures; peculiar tools and various types of weapons …
It is impossible to say unequivocally how millions of years ago these golden objects appeared in the ice and who was their real owner?.. According to scientists, the level of development of the current human civilization in such distant times could not allow its representatives to make such perfect objects …
• 1986 - in the US state of California, geologist Philip Reef, who for many years has been solving the secrets of the earth's interior, during the study of ancient rocks that are more than 60 million years old, an amazing object was discovered. In its shape, it looked like a truncated ball of unknown material, which is not affected by high temperatures and does not sink in water. Unfortunately, to this day, this mysterious find has not been dismembered into separate parts.
• 1989 - in the state of California (America) in the deposits of quartz rocks containing gold, researchers found a metal bolt. Traces of corrosion were visible in some parts of the bolt, but its threads are fairly well preserved. After carefully examining this phenomenon, most scientists have come to the conclusion that this bolt is about 700,000 years old.
• XVI century - the Spanish Viceroy of Peru, Don Francisco de Toledo kept in his office as an interesting souvenir … a steel nail 18 cm long, embedded in a piece of rock. This nail was found in one of the Peruvian mines.
• 18th century - Near the French city of Aix-en-Provence, in limestone at a depth of 50 feet, workers discovered coins, tools and stones with traces of processing. Among the finds was a fossilized board one inch thick and about 10 feet long. The French count of Bourbon, who was studying these finds, was amazed to note the similarity of the discovered tools with those used by his workers. This would not be unusual if the "fossil tools" did not appear long before the formation of the rock in which they were found.
• The beginning of the 1990s - geologists came to the small river Nara-da, which is located in the Eastern Urals, to search for gold deposits. At a depth of 3 to 15 meters in layers that date back from 20 to 32 thousand years, they found extraordinary archaeological finds, which are unique combinations of tungsten and molybdenum.
The found samples were mostly spiral, the largest of them reached 3 cm, and the smallest - 0.003 mm. After accurate measurements under a microscope, it was found that microscopic spirals were created taking into account the so-called "golden ratio", that is, a mathematical concept that determines the universal nature of certain proportions in nature.
Subsequently, the study of the Ural finds divided their researchers into two camps, which had fundamentally different points of view. Some consider mysterious objects to be adornments, others as parts and details of some miniature mechanisms.
• 1993 - the mentioned Dr. F. Rif became the owner of another amazing archaeological find. In the mountains of California (America), two mysterious cylinders were found during the construction of a tunnel. They are made up of half platinum, half an unknown metal. After heating the cylinders to a temperature of several tens of degrees, they retain this temperature for two to three hours, however, then they almost instantly cool down to ambient temperature.
If an electric current is passed through the cylinders, then they change their color from silver to black, and then again acquire their original color. After carrying out radiocarbon analysis, it was found that the age of these cylinders may be about 25 million years.
• 1998 - In Brazil, during the construction of a highway along the coast of the sea, artificial "shells" of shellfish living in the sea were discovered. These "shells" were hollowed out of stone and covered with the finest layer of gold, which has worn off in some places. There are no traces of any processing on the stones. The age of the find seems to be quite significant: more than 500,000 years.
• In the Gobi Desert, a boot tread was found in sandstone, the age of which is 10 million years, as reported by the Soviet writer Alexander Kazantsev …
• Similar prints of the petrified sole of a shoe and a human foot were also found in the US state of Nevada and in Turkmenistan. Moreover, it turned out that the age of the Nevada find is about 250-200 million years, and the Turkmen one - about 150 million years.
• In coal mines on the territory of Russia, NIO objects (unidentified fossil objects) were also found, which are no less strange and incomprehensible: plastic columns, an iron meter-long cylinder with round inclusions of an unknown yellow metal, etc.
• Iraq - excavations have uncovered the oldest known electrochemical cell, 4,000 years old. The world mass media wrote about this battery in particular a lot and in detail … The element consists of ceramic vases, inside which there are cylinders of sheet copper and iron rods inserted into them. The edges of the copper cylinder are joined by an alloy of lead and tin, which has recently become known to modern electricians and radio engineers. In this case, bitumen was used as an insulator. When a solution of copper sulfate was poured into these vessels, the artifact immediately gave a current.
Unfortunately, even objects worthy of careful research are not always studied. Some of the archaeological finds found over the past decades have been lost, while others are still quietly and calmly kept in museums or private collections.
It is clear that the above cases will be enough to make us think about such a main and most important question: who, after all, “littered” with metal objects on the Earth of the Devonian or Carboniferous period of the Paleozoic era?
To answer it, let us turn to the article by V. Chernobrov, who, realizing that it is very difficult to determine the most reliable hypotheses, sets out several main groups of versions known today:
1. Ufological - easier to understand. If UFOs fly anywhere nowadays, why couldn't they appear on our planet even thousands, even millions of years ago? Even a billion years ago, many civilizations could already exist in the Universe that had the opportunity to fly to Earth and … litter here;
2. Space debris is a more "science intensive" hypothesis. In order to "litter" the Earth with man-made debris, it was not at all necessary to fly to us. For other civilizations, it would be enough to simply go out into space, and then the stellar wind, inertial motion for millions of years will spread bolts and nuts from the spent parts of rockets across the galaxy.
3. The activity of protocivilizations is a more popular explanation among individual researchers and esotericists, completely rejected by historians. But historians, in reality, cannot convincingly prove that civilizations that existed in the past on Earth did not achieve similar victories on the path of technical progress. As, however, it is impossible to prove the opposite. Time destroyed everything. If a catastrophe happens to our civilization, and after hundreds of millions of years, after hundreds of earthquakes, fractures and flooding of continents, the rise of mountains and the advance of the seas - and from all our armada of machines, it is also possible, only a miserable handful of geological artifacts will remain … This is how future paleontologists will find some incomprehensible fragments of incomprehensible mechanisms, but who will disassemble them, whose they are;
4. Activities of future civilizations - change the "minus" to "plus", and it turns out … exactly the same picture. Again, in the past, highly developed civilizations operate, but they just do not live there (that is why modern archaeologists do not find ancient huge cities and cosmodromes), but arrive on their business in time machines. For millions of years of such exploratory voyages in the ancient layers, it is precisely the chronotravellers who have lost to stock up on garbage …
