"… We have found geological data that will obviously lead directly to archaeological discoveries," said Dr. Roald Frixwell of the University of Washington. Dr. Frixwell, Dr. Harold Malde, and Virginia Steen McInthaya reported at the American Geological Society's annual meeting that they found intricate stone tools at the bottom of a stream in Mexico …
The problem is that these tools were much more advanced than those used in Europe and Asia two hundred and fifty thousand years ago, the most simple of them were similar to those used in the Old World thirty-five to forty thousand years ago.
There is a lot of credible evidence that the principles of the technique used in the 20th century were known for a very, very long time.
Gynecology was practically an unknown science until the second half of the 19th century. On October 20, 1900, Scientific American reported that excavations at Pompeii indicate that gynecology is a "rediscovery in the world of surgery." Instruments discovered in the Temple of the Vestals, buried there after the eruption of Vesuvius in the 1st century AD. e., they say that gynecology as a science flourished in antiquity, the instruments used then are exact duplicates of those used in modern science. They are made as excellently as their 20th century counterparts.
The ancient Greeks built steam boilers, but they only used them as trinkets, not practical sources of power. On Easter Sunday 1900, a Greek sponge diver from Antikythera Island retrieved an ugly bronze curiosity from the bottom of the sea. In 1958, Dr. Derek Sollara recognized a mechanism as amazing as the jet plane in the tomb of Pharaoh Tutankhamun. This instrument, with a complex set of gears and gears, was an accurate model of the Earth, Sun, Moon, and planets, and may have been used to calculate the orbits of planetary motion. "It gets creepy when you learn that just before the fall of their great civilization, the ancient Greeks were so close to our time, not only in the development of thought, but also in science and technology," - wrote Dr. Price in Scientific American in June 1959 of the year.
The Wright brothers, two amateurs, stubbornly demonstrated the flight of an airplane powered by a heavier-than-air engine. And this after the scientists of mathematics proved the impossibility of such a flight. There are many hints in the ancient literature of the East that aviation was known in India as early as 500 BC. e. The sacred books of India mention 'flying carriages' and aerial bombs.
Chinese myths tell of the legendary people of Chi-Ki, who traveled in 'air crews'. The "Annals of Scientists" says that the great astronomer and engineer of the Han-Chang dynasty Heng created a wooden apparatus with a mechanism inside, with which it was possible to fly over a kilometer. It appears that in a book written about AD 320 by Ko Huing, an alchemist and mystic, a propeller is described: "Flying chariots were made, the interior of which was made of wood, a skirt using leather straps attached to rotating blades to set the mechanism in motion." …
Electric batteries were used more than two thousand years ago, long before Volta and Galvani. Dr. Wilhelm Koenig, a German archaeologist invited by the Aran Museum in Baghdad, while excavating southeast of Baghdad, discovered electrochemical batteries. The central elements included a copper cylinder containing an iron bar. The rod appears to have rusted due to a chemical reaction. The cylinder was soldered with lead-tin alloy. The same alloy is used today. The electrolyte has been dried up over time. Engineer Willard Gray made an exact replica of these cells using copper sulfate as the electrolyte.

For centuries, sanitary conditions in Europe have been dire. The lack of organized treatment contributed to the spread of plague epidemics that ravaged the continent several times. However, already five thousand years ago, in the Tigris Valley near Baghdad in Tel Asmar, there were houses and temples with an elaborate system of sanitary and hygienic devices. One of the excavated temples had six toilets and five bathrooms with a plumbing system connected to a drain (a drain pipe, a system of canals that went into a sewer pipe one meter high and fifty meters long). While examining one sewer pipe, archaeologists have discovered clay pipes. One end of each pipe was eight inches (twenty centimeters) in diameter, and the other was reduced to seven inches.so the pipes could be inserted into one another just like sewer pipes in the 20th century.
Those who scoff at the idea that prehistoric man could not have performed a more complex technological process than rubbing two sticks against each other in order to produce fire should ponder over a note that appeared in New York's Herald Tribune on February 16, 1947. of the year.
… When the first atomic bomb exploded in New Mexico, the desert sand turned into molten green glass. This fact turned out to be very important for archaeologists. During excavations in the Euphrates valley, scientists have discovered a layer of agricultural culture eight thousand years old and a layer of cattle-breeding culture of an even more ancient time, as well as traces of the culture of the caveman. After a while, another layer was discovered - molten green glass.
It happens that the sand is melted by lightning, but then the melted areas have a distinct root-like shape. Could anything other than an atomic explosion have produced a whole sheet of molten green glass?
