Mystery Ancient Artifacts & Places

[bkozican]

There are many out of place relics around the world which do not fit the traditional model of human prehistory.
They are a proof that extraterrestrial and technologically advanced civilizations visited our planet long time ago and it took place not only once. Many of these extremely old and precious pieces were made with help of the advanced technique. According to school knowledge prehistoric humans were primitive, so any kind of high technology should not be known to them. But the relics unearthed all over the world say something different. They are an evidence that our ancestors were advanced and civilized and that advanced civilizations existed long before any of the known for us ancient cultures came into existence.
We are not allowed to forget about all these anomalous and mysterious out-of-place findings.

THE ANTIKYTHERA MECHANISM

Dated to ca 80 A.D, probably used as calendar and astronomical calculator for the motions of stars and planets. It is very sophisticated device that consists of 30 toothed wheels, of diameter from 9 to 132 mm, being able to rotate at a different speed each, dials and scaled metal plates with inscriptions related to the signs of zodiac, names of the planets.
The engraved signs inform about the equinoxes, months, winds and constellations being in their different phases.

THE BATTERY OF BABYLON

​

​

Was unearthed in Khujut Rabu, in the ruins of a Parthian village outside Baghdad in 1938 by German archaeologist Wilhelm Konig.

It is a five-inch-long (13 cm) clay jar containing a copper cylinder that its edge was soldered with a 60-40 lead-tin alloy, and bottom was capped with a crimped-in copper disk and held in place with asphalt or bitumen.

Another insulating layer of asphalt sealed the top and also protected an iron bar suspended into the center of the cylinder. This one is known as the Baghdad Battery and is about 2,000 years old. A dozen of other similar batteries were unearthed in Iraq. Most sources date the batteries to around 200 BC - in the Parthian era, circa 250 BC to AD 225. However the Parthians were skilled warriors rather and their scientific achievements were not known. It would appear then that they inherited these batteries from one of the earliest known civilizations. According to the experts, the device after being filled with an acid or alkaline liquid could create an electric charge. It is believed that this old battery might have been used to electroplate silver, but it is only one of the theories. Important is to emphasize that electric batteries were used about 2000 years ago...long before they were invented by Alessandro Volta in 1799.​

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Yonaguni_Monument

The Yonaguni Monument (与那国島海底地形 Yonaguni-jima Kaitei Chikei?, lit. "Yonaguni Island Submarine Topography") is a massive underwater rock formation off the coast ofYonaguni, the southernmost of the Ryukyu Islands, in Japan. There is a debate about whether the site is completely natural, is a natural site that has been modified, or is a man-made artifact.[1][2] For these reasons, the site is also known in Japanese as the "Yonaguni (Island) Submarine Ruins" (与那国（島）海底遺跡 Yonaguni(-jima) Kaitei Iseki?).

Wow, Good stuff

Wow, Good stuff

Always been fascinated in that. I think because it is underwater, it does it for me.

MYSTERIOUS CHINA STONE FROM OUTER SPACE

An uncommon stone imbedded with screw-threaded metal bar from a collector in Lanzhou Mr. Zhilin Wang. He found this stone on a field research trip to the Mazong Mountain area located on the border of Gansu and Xijiang provinces. The pear-shaped stone is extremely hard and has a mysterious black color. It is about 8 x 7 cm and weighs 466 grams. The most surprising part of the stone is the imbedded 6 cm cone-shaped metal bar which bears clear screw threads. The stone is one of the most valuable in China and in the world. There are many hypotheses about the formation of this stone, but all seem to be incredible. The screw-threaded metal bar is tightly enclosed in the black lithical material. Neither the bar's entrance to the stone nor the exposed bar tip appear to be man-made. Moreover, the screw thread width remains consistent from the thick end to the thin end, instead of varying due to the growth of organisms. Is this a relic from a prehistoric civilization? Could it be a stony meteorite having any message from an extraterrestrial civilization for us?. How the stone was formed? It is suspected of being from outer space.

ANCIENT GLIDER FROM EGYPT

In 1898 a small wooden, winged object was found in the tomb of Pa-di-Imen in north Saqqara, Egypt. The model has the exact proportions of a very advanced form of "pusher-glider" however it was identified as a "bird model".
Made of very light sycamore the craft weighs 0.5 oz. with straight and aerodynamically shaped wings, spanning about 7 inches. It looks like modern-day aircraft though is 2,000-year-old. According to analysis it was discovered that the object was aerodynamically sound. and it is similar to a new oblique-winged aircraft NASA was interested to build

PREHISTORIC AIRPLANES FROM SOUTH AMERICA

The mechanical features of the object suggest a highly sophisticated level of aerodynamics and construction. The objects are very old and small, approximately 2 inches long, objects, made of gold are estimated to be AT LEAST 1,000 years old. For archaeologists the artifacts were depicting animals and were classified as Sinu, a pre-Inca culture from A.D. 500 to 800... But only for them. For aeronautical engineers these objects more looked like airplanes with delta-shaped wings. So in 1997 they built a scaled up version of the objects to the exact specifications of the prototypes with the simple addition of an engine and propeller. The test was successful. The radio controlled aircraft flew performing airborn loops, rolls and other manuevers, and then performed perfect landing.
According to Dr. Ivan Sanderson, who studied the artifacts, these look too "mechanical" like an airplane, to be a natural object. Other similar objects have been discovered in Costa Rica, Venezuela and Peru. Who used these planes in prehistoric times?

 

[Strapping Young Lad]

I think it's covered in an episode of Ancient Aliens that they built upscaled models of those small gold planes, attached motors to them and they actually flew them like RC planes.

I remember seeing a polished stone years ago on a doco that had a picture of what looked like a man performing open heart surgery on another being. The stone was supposedly hundreds of years old, and found on the bed of a lake or river.

I'll have to go look around the internerd to see if i can dig it up.

CRYSTAL SKULL UNEARTHED AT THE ANCIENT MAYAN CITY OF LUBAANTUM

"...a human size and shaped, clear quartz skull, 11.7 lbs, two pieces with a separate jaw, discovered in Lubaantum (now Belize) in 1924 in the ruins of a Mayan City by F. A. Mitchell-Hedges. This skull is currently near Toronto, Canada with Anna Mitchell-Hedges, his adopted daughter. The skull is an almost absolute copy of our own human skull except it is circular in the temples and has a handle like form in the cheekbones. When the skull is not activated, it is clear as glass. ANCIENT" - an opinion of Joshua Shapiro, the Crystal Skull Explorer. The most known crystal skull is called the Mitchell-Hedges Skull. It's particularly famous because it's very similar in form to a modern human skull. Scientists still do not know how the skull was constructed and who made it. The Mitchell-Hedges skull is made of clear quartz crystal and both cranium and mandible appear to originate from the same solid block. It is almost an anatomically accurate replica of a human skull. The cranial measurements of other crystal skulls are definitely not the same as present human skulls.

Everyone should read Fingerprints of the Gods by Graham Hancock who has travelled the world collecting evidence of possible alien civilisations helping us out. There are ancient maps of antarctica pre-dating any previous explorers. He talks about the Nazca lines in Peru, the Inca and Egyptian Pyramids, it certainly makes you think.

500,000 YEAR OLD SPARK PLUG KNOWN AS THE COSO ARTIFACT

Was unearthed in the Coso Mountains, California, while looking for unusual rocks. One of these pieces of rock contained inside remains of some kind of device. Beneath the outer layer of hardened clay, pebbles and fossil inclusions was a hexagonal shaped layer of a substance resembling wood, softer than agate or jasper. This layer formed a casing around a three-quarter inch wide cylinder made of solid white porcelain or ceramic, and in the center of the cylinder is a two millimeter shaft of shiny metal core, about .08 inch (2 millimeters) in diameter. Also, surrounding the ceramic cylinder are rings of copper, mostly corroded. Embedded too in the rock, though separate from the cylinder, are two more man-made items - what look like a nail and a washer. The rock, in which the artifact resembling a spark plug was found, was dated to about 500,000 year old. Those who manufactured this artifact had to possess an advanced technology.

Great forum guys. Great thread too, OOParts (out of place artefacts) like the ones above have always fascinated me.

One that spins me out is when the Russians dug up an auroch's skull from many thousands of years ago with an apparent, perfectly round bullet hole in it. It could only have been "shot" while it was still alive as it lived long enough after it for calcification to form around the wound.

Some info on it here, along with another example of a neanderthal man with a "bullet" hole in his skull:

How did an animal that became extinct supposedly thousands and thousands of years ago come by a "modern" bullet hole in its skull

METALLIC SPHERES OF SOUTH AFRICA FOUND IN A MINERAL DEPOSIT 2.8 BILLION YEARS OLD

M.Cremo wrote in his great book "The hidden history of the human race" about spheres: "Over the past several decades, South African miners have found hundreds of metallic spheres, at least one of which has three parallel grooves running around its equator."

The spheres are of two types - "one of solid bluish metal with white flecks, and another which is a hollow ball filled with a white spongy center" (Jimison 1982).


Roelf Marx, curator of the museum of Klerksdorp, South Africa, where some of the spheres are housed, said: "The spheres are a complete mystery. They look man-made, yet at the time in Earth's history when they came to rest in this rock no intelligent life existed. They´e nothing like I have ever seen before." "There is nothing scientific published about the globes, but the facts are: They are found in pyrophyllite, which is mined near the little town of Ottosdal in the Western Transvaal. This pyrophyllite (Al2Si4O10(OH)2) is a quite soft secondary mineral with a count of only 3 on the Mohs' scale and was formed by sedimentation about 2.8 billion years ago. On the other hand the globes, which have a fibrous structure on the inside with a shell around it, are very hard and cannot be scratched, even by steel."

The Mohs' scale of hardness is named after Friedrich Mohs, who chose ten minerals as references points for comparative hardness, with talc the softest and diamond the hardest (Roelf Marx, September 12, 1984).

According to the opinions of scientists the spheres are "limonite concretions" Limonite is a kind of iron ore...."A concretion is a compact, rounded rock mass formed by localized cementation around a nucleus. (M.Cremo)"


But there is a one "small" problem... with limonite concretions. They are not particular hard (only 4 to 5.5 on the Mohs`scale of hardness), but the spheres are extremely hard.... Moreover limonite concretions appear in groups and not in perfectly round and isolated objects like puzzling spheres do... Another problem is that one of the spheres has three perfect parallel grooves around it. No natural explanation has been found for that. Conclusion: the object has to be man made.

FOSSILIZED HUMAN HANDPRINT

This fossil which corresponds perfectly to a human handprint shows astounding detail. It was found in Cretaceous rock in the same layer where also dinosaur footprints were discovered. Age- about 110 million years old. The handprint is so specific that it displays impressions of the thumbnail, impressions of the tissue webbing between the thumb and index finger, and the impression left by penetration of the middle finger into the mud.

THE PIRI REIS MAP

In 1929, a group of historians made what can only be described as an amazing discovery, written on the skin of a gazelle. After study and research, they found that it is a genuine map drawn in 1513 by Piri Reis, a well documented admiral of the Turkish navy. He depicts Europe and North Africa, the coast of Brazil, several islands (Azores, Canary Islands, and the mythical island of Antilia), and even Antarctica, which was thought to be discovered more than 300 years later. The most puzzling thing is not that it shows we need to rethink the chronology for a number of exploratory discoveries, but that it describes Antarctica’s topography as not being masked by ice and in great detail. The last time that occured was more than 6000 years ago. Tell me then. How did a Turkish admiral from half a millenium ago map a continent that’s been covered by ice for the last 6000 years?

The mysterious city of Nan Madol – a city built on corals

The city of Nan Madol was built between 200 B.C. – 800 A.D., on a coral reef near Micronesia. It consisted of about 100 artificial islands made from huge basalt blocks and connected with viaducts. From the start, it dazzles us with a mix of the bizarre and grandeur. From the start it seems incongruous; 250 million tons of offshore basalt in the middle of nowhere. How were these huge blocks quarried, transported, and placed in the perfect spot? Even by today’s standards, it would an impressive engineering feat. Additionally, the reasoning behind its development remains a mystery. Archaelogists have few clues as to what happened to the civilization responsibile for its creation.

THE SACSAYHUAMAN WALLS

Near the city of Cuzco, more than 3500 meters above sea level, these amazing walls first fascinated the Spanish conquistadores. They were astonished to discover how these people who, according to them, were ignorant and lacked the ability of logical reasoning required to have built such wonders.

THE ANTIKYTHERA MECHANISM

How is this item an artifact which "shouldn't be there"?

Strangely it is listed among the "6 Insane Discoveries That Science Can't Explain" when it is in fact a scientific tool which only science has managed to explain?
Archeology and radiology are both respected sciences....both show the device was a complex calender and navigational aid. A tool of science developed and realised through observation and application in technology.....science.


Whoooooooooo!

Some awesome pitching of wooo going on in this thread.


On the 1940's a prospector in central Queensland found a huge serpentine skeleton, large portions of which were fashioned from solid opal.
Making inquiries with local native he was told the artifact was the remains of a giant frilled necked lizard which thousands of years ago fought a rainbow serpent for control over the local waterhole, long dry. Simple superstitious bunkum no doubt.
At first it was surmised some ancient god, beast had placed it specifically in a remote, barren wasteland as a clue to Europeans of the former existence of a long dead race of intelligent, reptiles who practiced ritual sacrifice, but when aliens were discovered in the US in the late 50's, it became clear that not Gods but aliens had placed the interplanetary artifact there., possibly as a warning or message.

In all this time science stuck to the incredulous claim it was simply the skeleton of a long extinct dinosaur, parts of which ha been mineralised into opal.

It is so obviously alien.
You just have to watch the movie for god's sake.

Happy new year truther freaks.
