The 10 objects out of the strangest time 10. The Norwegian minitúnel
The discoverers of this finding were Buddy and Ole Gunnar Broyt of roofs while performing an excavation in Norway, under the orders of the company Volda Aurstad KA for the construction of a Chiropractic Center. The excavation was conducted near a cliff of solid rock. When they were several meters deep and removal of soil sediment, ROOFS, he found a disturbing hole in the form of seven-pointed star, and about 6 cm in diameter, and very smooth and polished. ROOFS missed four meters of rock removal to know where the hole but just surprised noted that the strange hole goes into the mountains to the fjords of the Northwest. In the opinion of this expert excavator in its 30-year career had never seen anything like it.
Those responsible for the work were never able to explain the presence of the hole and other geologists of the region as Einar Anda, can not but show his bewilderment at the issue and that was the enigmatic and tiny tunnel.
so far established three possible explanations, none of which was definitive:
Crystals argues that the hole was probably made by a glass which was dissolved by water over thousands of years and the hole was formed by a spectacular coincidence of chance. Contrary to the hole to keep us deep into the mountain and then straight off to the right with intent.
Artificial hole occurred in 1930 when the area was used as a quarry. Apparently there used jackhammers to drill six pieces together that could be mounted horizontally forming the hole. In this way a spinning and hammer drill with six points, you can leave that way. Have against the length of the hole that is impossible for any tool of this type.
Civilization: This theory posits that an ancient yet advanced civilization disappeared and I was the producer of the hole. Against very imaginative than this basic question, to what end?
9. Metal tubes Saint-Jean de Livet
In 1968, Y. Druet and H. Salfati announced the discovery of a semi-ovoid metallic tubes of identical shape but varying lengths, in a place where there were this, a layer of Cretaceous chalk. This layer was located at a mine in Saint-Jean de Livet in France and its age was estimated at the time of the Cretaceous, 65 million years ago.
Current information on the results of investigations by French universities is currently ambiguous or unknown. However they have not appeared no evidence against him.
8. The skeletons of Guadalupe
These skeletons are human remains found on an island of the Antilles, but with the peculiarity that were found in a geological stratum dating from at least 28 million years, is that of the Miocene epoch, long before modern humans appeared on the island. For many researchers dating is not correct, but the debate remains open.
One of the samples from the coast of Guadalupe, near the village of Moule was a slab of stone about two tons of weight fu sent to the British Museum in 1812, where he was exposed to the public, but with the advent of Darwin's theory, the slab was relegated to the basement. One thing in favor is that these remains have been studied scientifically and can still be observed today in the British Museum. The problem is that the skeletons do not fit the theory of evolution, it is impossible to find modern humans 28 million years ago. Only geological or archaeological study will show whether or not the layer where the skeletons were found may not be the Miocene, which has not been achieved so far.
7. Fossil footprints of Meister
Huellas1
The trilobites embedded in the heel
William J.
Delivery was Meister in Antelope Spring in 1968, a site located about 70 miles from Delta, Utah, United States. He was accompanied by his wife and two daughters. They had found several small fossils when Meister hit with his geologist's hammer slab two inches thick, plane splitting in two, like opening a book. Huella.Como There was the usual in all fossil that has been stuck in a sediment, both sides of the block show the mark of a sandal, one positive and one negative, the normal size of a human foot. This tread is very particular, he has crushed under the heel no more nor less than trilobites.
On July 4 the sample is sent to Dr. Clarence Coombs of the University of Columbia and the geologist Maurice Carlisle, University of Colorado. Carlisle moved to the place of discovery and excavations in the area and bequeath to the conclusion that the extraction zone was appropriate to the sample and is disconcertingly stated that layer in the Cambrian period, between 550 and 590 million years.
Meister announced the strange discovery and all agreed that there could be, it was impossible, some said that the track was a rare example of erosion and others it was a simple and clear fraud. Continue without explanation.
6. La Lupa Egyptian 4,800 years
is an object made of rock crystal found in Helwan, Egypt, specifically in the tomb of Pharaoh Semempses. The object is now seen as a magnifying glass and is exposed in the British Museum. Is a magnifier of absolute perfection and is believed to be used to observe the sky, but instead of offering answers, has many questions.
Semempses If Pharaoh came to devise instruments to enlarge the image as telescopes or microscopes, it would be an amazing feat. And it would be not only the perfection that is needed to achieve operational lens, but also necessary to polish the glass, cerium oxide, which was not discovered until 1803 by German Jakos Berzelius.
5. Iron cup Wilburton
This perfect piece of metal was discovered in 1912 in a mine in Wilburton, Oklahoma, by Frank J. Kennard, within a block of coal. In an affidavit of Kennard on 27 November 1948, Benton Co worker said about it: "While working at the municipal power plant Thomas, Oklahoma in 1912, came to light and a large portion of furo cost carbon fragment. In breaking the lump of coal with my hammer, fell inside a sort of metal cup, leaving a perfect mold that housed the coal. " Jim Stull, company employee was present and corroborate the finding and declaration of Kennard. The lump of coal came Wilburton mine in Oklahoma, which is known to have a length of about 300 million years.
Against this view we have several kinds, one is the only evidence comes from the testimony of a person and that's not a scientific nature. The object is now lost and only Carl Baugh sell perfect copies of the same, or so he says. Even in this regard in order to meet again, could be explained as a modern subject, as we now know that coal mines are full of puddles of saturated water, if someone throws an object there, that water eventually ends up hardening and becoming part of the stratum in appearance. In this case, if you had the object, it could make the same cross section and study the layers under a microscope you could see if it belongs to the original layer or if there is a second layer. Of the 10 objects this is the one that offers more questions.
4. The stegosaurus of Angkor
In the archaeological complex of Angkor Wat (temple capital), near the town of Siem Reap, can be seen on one of the walls carved figure of an animal known familiarly fans dinosaurs, stegosaurus. The whole building started at the beginning of the twelfth century and it was not until well into the sixteenth century to Angkor Wat began to fall into the most comprehensive of the omissions. Not understood as the ancient inhabitants of Angkor shaped the image of an animal extinct millions of years ago that only the twentieth century science has been recovered.
The magnificent temples of the jungle in Cambodia were built by civilization Khmer, VIII to XIV centuries AD, one of the largest builders of this empire was Jayavarman VII, crowned supreme king in 1181. Many of its buildings were rediscovered centuries later rehabilitated, others however as in the case of the temple of Ta Prohm, one of the most picturesque, was left intact. In one corner to the entrance of the temple there is a column topped with decorative circles, in which you can see how stegosaurus. Hundreds of decorative stone circles around the complex with familiar animals like monkeys, deer, water buffalo, parrots. The strange thing is that the carvers of these reliefs of the tenth century extinct stegosaurus reproduced more than 65 million years with the same precision as the monkeys, buffaloes, deer and other species present at the time.
3. Nanotechnology in the Urals
Between 1991 and 1993 while they were prospecting for gold prospecting in an area east of the Urals along the rivers Narada, and Balbanyu Kozhim, appeared a small objects after another few inches (0.003 mm the smallest), in a geological stratum located between 3 and 12 meters deep, allowing dating back to the level at which they were found ranging between 20,000 and 318,000 years.
The analysis performed on these objects by the Russian Academy of Sciences in Syktyvka, capital of the former Soviet Republic of Komi, determined that the composition of these objects was varied. In the largest objects in the presence of copper predominated, while the children were found in the presence of tungsten and molybdenum. Tungsten has a high atomic weight as molybdenum, with a melting point of 3,410 degrees Celsius for the first and of 2,650 for the second.
greatly surprising that the millimeter size of many of these objects requires a highly developed technology for manufacturing, which even today is in the process of developing what has been called "nanomachines "Small robots designed to act where the man's hand is irrelevant, as in the case of microsurgery on the brain or risky operations within the blood vessels that are not possible to make with current techniques surgery.
2. The Baghdad Battery
In 1936, during excavations on a hill Kujut Rabu, a village southeast of Baghdad (Iraq), workers the Iraqi State Railway Department discovered an ancient tomb covered with a slab of stone. For two months, the Iraqi Department of Antiquities extracted from it a total of 613 beads, clay figurines, carved bricks and other parts. Were dated the period of delivery (almost five hundred years between 248 BC and 226 AD). They also found a very unique clay containers, vase-shaped and light yellow. Inside was a copper cylinder, fixed with asphalt at the mouth of the neck. Inside the cylinder was an iron rod.
The container measured 13 cm high and 4 cm in diameter, while the copper cylinder measuring 9 inches high by 2.6 cm in diameter. The iron rod protruding 1 cm and gave the impression of having been coated with a thin layer of lead.
In that year (1939), German archaeologist Wilhelm König, then in charge of the Laboratory of the State Museum of Baghdad, identified as a probable electric battery. He described his findings in 9 Jahre Iraq, published in Austria in 1940. The first analysis of this object was to introduce an electrolyte inside, and connect a lamp, which went on very weakly. The official report was written after he said that this object behaves exactly like a modern electric battery.
Against: König archaeologist did not show how material could have joined the "Batteries", since among the thousands of archaeological objects found in Mesopotamia there was no metal objects transmitter power (as an iron wire) long enough to join several of these "cells." Koenig said that the objective of these batteries was to provide the electricity needed to make gold and silver plating (although so far not found any old object galvanized).
Gray To König and there was nothing easier than to say that these containers were batteries. However, the hypothesis is untenable batteries: There were no remains, not even traces of any electrolyte in the copper cylinder. If these vessels had been used as sources of stress, should have contained some electrolyte, which, although much time had passed, would have been detected at present. Moreover, no wire was found necessary to make use of the batteries.
The fact that adding copper sulfate electrolyte is generated a voltage of 1.5 V, does not mean they really had been used as batteries, as any other container two metals can generate a voltage minimal if any element is added electrolyte. The engineer experiment Willard Gray (two hours galvanize a silver statuette of grape juice electrolyte) proved to be false. The battery of Baghdad could have generated up to 10 mA. Then to 10 g of gold deposit would theoretically taken nearly 6 days of continuous work (and 10 days to deposit 10 g of silver). In practice this time can double or triple.
If you add wine, vinegar or other acid, iron rod disintegrate into little more than 1 year. Despite these rods have reached our days, clearly shows not used that galvanic. Those who believe that this device was actually an electric cell, the qualify of oopart (the acronym of out of place artifact: artifact out of place). Skeptics believe instead that the vase only served to save parchments and cosmetics
News: April 11, 2003, during the invasion of Iraq, the Iraq National Museum in Baghdad, was assaulted and looted. For about three days many of the pieces of incalculable historical value were destroyed or stolen. This is the case of "Baghdad's batteries." Although some versions claim that they could be removed for their protection by the Iraqi government itself as a protection against the bombers, the skeptics believe that these became part of Mesopotamian antiquities smuggling. His whereabouts are currently unknown.
1. Piri Reis Map
The Piri Reis map is a chart supposedly drawn by the Ottoman admiral Piri Reis in 1513 and published in 1523 as part of his work The Book marine materials. Although Piri Reis lived in an earlier time, they say that subsequently drew maps to the "discovery of America" \u200b\u200b... although it is true that the date of its creation was in the same century voyages of Columbus, Piri Reis was based on maps with 1500 years old, from the era of Alexander.
Columbus and his crew may well have sailed knowing well to see where it ran using the maps of the Ottoman Empire, as there are certain facts that relate to Christopher Columbus to Piri Reis. Apparent to contain representations of lands previously unknown and following Reis's own writings indicate that his sources were "the ancient kings of the sea", has attracted much interest as an enigma and is often considered a oopart. The original is preserved in the Topkapi Saray Museum in Istanbul, but not usually exposed to the public.
