Ancient artifacts that cannot exist. Strange archeology
6 443
Architectural artifacts that have survived to this day give reason to believe that many millennia ago there were developed civilizations on our planet that were forgotten. Our review contains 10 archaeological finds, the mysteries of which still remain unsolved.
1. Ancient devices
Lens of Nimrud from the capital of Assyria.
Ancient civilizations knew much more and were more developed than scientists assumed 20 years ago. Archaeologists have discovered a number of ancient devices, from planispheres to prototype batteries. The most famous finds are the Nimrud lens and the Antikythera mechanism.
The Nimrud Lens, estimated to be approximately 3,000 years old, was discovered during excavations at the ancient Assyrian capital of Nimrud. Some experts believe that the lens was part of an ancient Babylonian telescope. This means that they had advanced knowledge of astronomy.
The famous Antikythera mechanism (200 BC) was created to calculate the movements of the sun, moon and planets. Unfortunately, people can only guess about why and how many ancient devices were created, and why ancient knowledge about them has disappeared.
2. Empire of Rama
Evidence of the ancient Indian Empire of Rama.
For a long time it was believed that Indian civilization began only in 500 BC. However, discoveries made in the last century pushed back the origins of Indian civilization by several thousand years.
The cities of Harappa and Mohenjo-daro were discovered in the Indus Valley, which were perfectly planned even by modern standards. The Harappan culture also remains a mystery. Its roots are hidden for centuries, and the language has not yet been unraveled by scientists. There are no buildings in the city that would indicate different social classes, no temples or other places of worship. No other culture, including Egypt and Mesopotamia, had this level of urban planning.
3. Longue Caves
Longyu Caves in China, built around the 2nd century BC.
Longyu is called by the Chinese another wonder of the world. The 24 cave system was discovered completely by accident in 1992. The origin of the caves dates back to the 2nd century BC. Despite its titanic volume (to carve such caves in solid rock, about a million cubic meters of stone would have to be removed), no evidence of construction was found. The carvings covering the walls and ceilings of the caves are made in a special manner and are full of symbols. According to officially unconfirmed information, the seven discovered grottoes repeat the location of the seven stars of the Ursa Major constellation.
4. Nan-Madol
Nan-Madol.
On an artificial archipelago in Micronesia near the island of Pohnpei are the ruins of the ancient prehistoric city of Nan Madol. The city is built on a coral reef made of basalt blocks, the weight of which reaches 50 tons. The city is crossed by many canals and underwater tunnels. Some of its streets are flooded. The scale of this structure can be compared with the Great Wall of China or Egyptian pyramids. However, there is not a single record of who built the city and when it was built.
5. Stone Age Tunnels
Stone Age tunnels.
From Scotland to Turkey, beneath hundreds of Neolithic settlements, archaeologists have discovered evidence of a vast network underground tunnels. In Bavaria, some tunnels are up to 700 meters long. The fact that these tunnels have survived for 12,000 years is a testament to the extraordinary skill of the builders and huge size their original network.
6. Puma Punku and Tiwanaku
Megalithic ruins of Puma Punku and Tiwanaku.
Puma Punku is a megalithic complex near the ancient pre-Inca city of Tiwanaku in South America. The age of the megalithic ruins is highly controversial, but archaeologists are unanimous that they are older than the pyramids. The ruins are believed to be 15,000 years old. The massive stones used in the construction were cut and fitted together so precisely that there is no doubt that the builders clearly had advanced knowledge of cutting stones, geometry, and they had the tools to do it. The city also had a functioning irrigation system, sewerage system, and hydraulic mechanisms.
7. Metal mount
Metal fastening.
Continuing the conversation about Puma Punku; It is worth noting that at this construction site, as well as at the Koricancha temple, ancient city Ollantaytambo, Yurok Rumi and in ancient Egypt A special metal fastener was used to hold the huge stones together. Archaeologists discovered that the metal was poured into grooves cut into the stones, meaning the builders had portable factories. It is unclear why this technology and other methods of megalith construction were lost.
8. The Riddle of Baalbek
Baalbek in modern Lebanon.
Archaeological excavations in Baalbek, Lebanon, have revealed some of the best-preserved Roman ruins in the world. What makes this place especially mysterious is the megalithic mound on which the Romans built their temples. The stone monoliths of this mound weigh up to 1,200 tons each and are the largest processed stone slabs in the world. Some archaeologists believe that the history of Baalbek dates back about 9,000 years.
9. Giza Plateau
The Giza Plateau is a mysterious and iconic place.
Great Pyramid in Egypt is ideal from a geometric point of view. How the ancient Egyptians achieved this is unknown. It is also interesting that the erosion of the Sphinx, as scientists have proven, occurred due to precipitation, and the desert of this area was only 7,000 - 9,000 years ago. The pyramid of Mikerinus also dates back to the predynastic period. It was also built from limestone blocks and has exactly the same signs of erosion as the Sphinx.
10. Gobekli Tepe
Temple complex Gobekli Tepe.
Dating from the end of the last ice age (12,000 years ago) temple complex in the southeastern part of Turkey has been called the most important archaeological discovery of modern times. Ancient pottery, writing, the already existing wheel and metallurgy - its construction implies a level of development far beyond the development of Paleolithic civilizations. Göbekli Tepe consists of 20 circular structures (only 4 have been excavated so far) and elaborately carved columns up to 5.5 meters high and weighing up to 15 tons each. No one can say with certainty who created this complex and where its creators obtained their advanced knowledge of masonry.
Science has long stated that people misrepresent their origins on Earth. It’s as if everything is there: there is a monkey and an ancient man. But there is just no transitional link between them.
But there are others, more interesting facts. Few people know that wheat, which man has grown since the era of the pyramids, does not have wild varieties in nature. It turns out that someone gave it to people.
And there is evidence of this. For example, the hexoploid wheat that exists today is a complex hybrid that has existed on the planet for about 8,000 years. Someone, with his invisible hand, crossed three varieties and got this variety, because this could not have happened spontaneously. Biologists are convinced that it was completely impossible to create speciesless selections from complex cereals thousands of years ago.
Corn is considered the oldest cultivated plant on our planet. Mexican archaeologists discovered corn pollen dating back 50,000 years during excavations. But this plant also does not have a wild ancestor in nature. Moreover, it cannot grow without human help: a ripened cob that is not picked in a timely manner simply falls and rots.
However, scientists claim that primitive man appeared only 40,000 years ago. But who then could have grown corn long before the appearance of Homo sapiens, and artificially changed the genetic code of soybeans and other legumes millions of years ago?
Nowadays, scientists have also learned to create genetically modified organisms, but even they cannot yet cross two varieties and produce viable offspring. Nature has a secret that has not yet been revealed, and it is possible that its key is hidden in nanotechnology, which should be used in genetic engineering.
But how could anyone have known about nanotechnology thousands of years ago?
It turns out he could, and this is proven by something found in the Urals. On the Naroda River, archaeologists have discovered tens of thousands of tiny spiral-shaped artifacts. The largest of them is three centimeters in size. It was found that these artifacts consist of rather rare metals - tungsten and molybdenum. But the biggest surprise, which was confirmed by the examination, was their age. They were about 300,000 years old!
A logical question arises: who could have created these artifacts, if our most distant ancestors in those days did not walk, but ran on the Earth, covered with wool. Moreover, the ratio of the thickness of the spiral to the core is in the proportion of the “golden ratio”. To this day, it is unknown how these parts could get to Earth. However, there is a version that seems most likely: - these are parts of some technical device, because in the same place geologists discovered a large number of quartz lenses. Therefore, experts have formed a hypothesis that all the finds are elements of an antenna device. According to their theory, the find had the same properties as the so-called “smart glass” - these are touch screens of tablets and phones, car mirrors and windshields, which use filamentary heating elements that are made of tungsten with the addition of other rare earths. metals
At the same time, quartz glass is generally considered a material of the future. More recently, scientists from the University of Southampton have invented storage media that can store data in five dimensions of nanostructured quartz. A high-frequency laser is required to record data. And this is not science fiction at all, but reality.
But scientists can easily explain why only microscopic fragments remain of the ancient device: high-tech artifacts cannot be stored in the ground for a long time; they rust. It turns out that millions of years ago there were people on Earth who used computers or smartphones? It's hard to believe, but there is other evidence that the ancients knew very well high-level metallurgy.
In Delhi, near the Qutub Minar mosque there is a metal column, which was called the “pillar of Indra.” For many millennia, it has withstood precipitation and does not have a hint of rust. The column is made of atomic iron without any impurities of sulfur or carbon at the molecular level. Nowadays, such ideally pure iron can only be obtained by sputtering in space conditions, and even then only in small quantities. Presumably, the column was melted in a vacuum. Iron with a similar chemical composition was found elsewhere, although not on Earth, but in samples of lunar soil.
Another amazing and incomprehensible artifact was discovered in India - an ancient ritual caste dagger made of alloyed metal, which, by definition, should not exist on Earth. In addition, the dagger contained duralumin, which humanity began to obtain relatively recently: a little less than half a century ago. The conclusion is clear: this dagger was not made on Earth.
Indian historical documents speak of the existence of a civilization that lived on the planet millions of years ago. She had spaceships - vimanas, weapons similar to nuclear weapons, huge cities and many other factors inherent in highly developed civilizations.
Archaeologists with access to the world's most secretive artifacts say they have discovered traces of intelligent life that date back to millions of years BC. e. Back in 1862, a sensational article was published in one of the American scientific journals, which stated that human bones were discovered in a coal seam at a depth of more than 30 meters, and the age of the coal was 300 million years. Moreover, it was the skeleton of a creature identical to modern homo sapiens.
In the storerooms of modern archaeologists there are already more than a hundred artifacts that scientists cannot explain. All of them are several tens of millions of years old. At the same time, experts assure that errors are excluded. But this means that our civilization is not the first on the planet, and, according to some scientists, not even the most developed.
In the early 1970s, while mining uranium ore in the African state of Gabon, it was unexpectedly discovered that the content of fissile uranium-235 in samples was significantly lower than expected. Then experts began to explore the mine, trying to find out whether this uranium had already been used by someone. And the absolutely incredible was discovered: this uranium deposit had such outlines that, taking into account the half-life of uranium, lead to the conclusion that almost 2 billion years ago there were 14 nuclear reactors in this place! All this is justified by accurate calculations by physicists.
Surprisingly, some traces of the use of nuclear technology in ancient times lie literally under our feet. These are craters whose size is tens and hundreds of meters. Scientists believe that they are traces of meteorite impacts. But many of these craters contain no traces of cosmic matter. But they contain tektites - stones melted at high temperatures. Scientists have not yet formed a consensus on their origin. Tektites are the link between the phenomenon of ancient giant craters and the so-called vitrification - a process when sand and stones melt, merging into a single glassy mass. What caused this process is unclear, because there are no funnels. Therefore, if we assume that these are not meteorites, it all comes down to a curious version: the same phenomenon, when grains of sand melted and turned into glass, occurred during testing of Trinity in New York State, which means that this is the result of a nuclear war.
The ancient ruins of Pumapungo are located in Bolivia. This is one of the most perfect ancient buildings in Latin America: stone blocks weighing 200 tons are carved in an unknown way with pinpoint precision, which is simply impossible to calculate without computer technology. Moreover, scientists were shocked: in order to place one such block on a vertical wall, you need to “turn off” gravity for a while. It turns out that ancient civilizations were able to “work” with gravity. Perfectly carved megaliths are laid in stone blocks without mortar so that not even a razor blade can pass between them.
Many scientists and researchers, who have been working on solving ancient artifacts for quite some time, are still inclined to believe in an alien trace. This version is also supported by many legends and myths of peoples, which tell that the Gods arrived from the stars. But what were they doing on Earth?
From the analysis of archaeological finds, the conclusion suggests itself that millions of years ago aliens mined minerals on Earth, conducted genetic experiments, wars and large-scale construction. Or they just once had a “roadside picnic” that lasted several thousand years.
Humanity wants to find brothers in mind, trying to penetrate further and further into space, although it may well be that the truth lies somewhere nearby.
There are ancient artifacts that testify to the highly developed culture and technological development of ancient people. Some of these finds not only exceeded the complexity of stone tools, but were also found in geological formations much older than one might imagine.
Information about the artifacts found came from both scientists and people far from science. Some of the artifacts were not transferred to museums, and it is impossible to establish where they may now be located. To create a more complete picture, I will give several such examples.
In his book Mineralogy, Count Bournon talks about a mysterious discovery made by French workers in the second half of the 18th century. Workers mining limestone in Aix-en-Provence walked through 11 layers of limestone separated by layers of sediment. In the clayey sand on top of layer 19, “they found fragments of columns and fragments of semi-processed stone - the same one that was mined in the quarry. Coins, hammer handles, other wooden tools or their fragments were also found there.”
Wooden tools have become fossils. This excerpt is taken from an article that was published in 1820 in the American Journal of Science and Arts; nowadays, however, you will not find such descriptions in the pages of scientific journals. Scientists simply do not take such findings seriously. The limestone from Aix-en-Provence was Oligocene, which means that the objects found in the limestone are 24–36 million years old.
1830 - a massive block of marble with lines resembling letters was found in a quarry near Norristown (Pennsylvania), 20 km northwest of Philadelphia. This marble block was raised from a depth of 18–20 m. This was reported in 1831 by the same American Journal of Science and Arts. The marble in the quarries around Norristown dates back to the Cambro-Ordovician period, or about 500-600 million years old.
1844 - Sir David Brewster reported the discovery of a nail embedded in a block of sandstone from the Kingudi quarries (Milnfield, Scotland). Dr. A. Medd of the British Geological Survey wrote to my research assistant in 1985 that the period in question was "late lower red sandstone" (Devonian, 360 to 408 million years ago). Brewster was a famous Scottish physicist. He founded the British Association for the Advancement of Science and made important discoveries in optics.
1844, June 22 - The Times newspaper (London) published quite interesting note: “The workmen employed to quarry the stone near Tweed, a quarter of a mile from Rutherford Mill, discovered a few days ago a thread of gold, which was embedded in a block of stone, which lay at a depth of eight feet.” Dr. A. Medd wrote that this stone dates back to the early Carboniferous period (320–360 million years).
1862, April - published in The Geologist magazine English translation a fascinating report by Maximilien Melville, Deputy Chairman of the Academic Society of Laon (France), describing a ball of chalk found at a depth of 75 m in Tertiary lignite deposits near Laon. If the ball was made by a person, then this means that people lived in France 45–55 million years ago.
Melville notes: “Long before the discovery, quarry workers told me that they had more than once come across pieces of petrified wood... with traces of human impact. Now I really regret that I did not ask them to show me those previous finds. In my defense, I admit that at the time I considered them simply incredible.”
1871 - William Dubois of the Smithsonian Institution reported the discovery of several human-made objects at considerable depth in Illinois. One such item was a copper coin discovered in Lone Ridge (Marshall County). It was found at a depth of 35 m while drilling a well. Based on the drilling log, the Illinois State Geological Survey determined the age of the sediments at a depth of 35 m. The sediments were formed during the Yarmouth Interglacial period, that is, “approximately 200-400 thousand years ago.”
The discovered coin suggests that at least 200 thousand years ago in North America civilization already existed, which contradicts modern ideas that creatures intelligent enough to make and use coins (Homo sapiens sapiens) could not have appeared earlier than 100,000 years ago. According to generally accepted views, metal coins first came into circulation in Asia Minor in the 8th century BC. e.
1889 - An elaborately made small figurine depicting a man was discovered in Nampa, Idaho. The figurine was recovered while drilling a well from a depth of more than 90 m. In response to an inquiry from my research assistant, the US Geological Survey staff responded that “the clay layers at depths of more than 300 feet appear to belong to the Glenns Ferry Formation, Upper Idaho Group , the age of which is usually determined by the Plio-Pleistocene.” This means that the age of the find could be 2 million years. This suggests that culturally advanced people lived in North America at that time.
1891, June 11 - the following note was published in the newspaper “The Morrisonville Times” (America, Illinois): “An interesting discovery was reported to us on Tuesday morning by Mrs. Culp. While she was splitting up a lump of coal to put the pieces into a box, she noticed a round shaped recess, inside of which was a small gold chain of fine antique work, approximately 10 inches in length.” The coal seam in which the chain was discovered is estimated to be between 260 and 320 million years old, according to the Illinois State Geological Survey. This shows that culturally advanced people already inhabited North America.
And here is an article entitled “A Relic of a Time Long Gone” that was published in the journal Scientific American (June 5, 1852): “A few days ago, in a hilly area a few tens of meters south of guest house Rev. Mr. Hall, a resident of Dorchester, was carrying out blasting work. The powerful explosion resulted in a huge ejection of rock. Stone blocks - some of which weighed several tons - were scattered in different directions.
Among the fragments they found a metal jug, which was torn in half by the explosion. Put together, the halves formed a bell-shaped vessel... The walls of the vessel were decorated with six images of flowers in the form of a bouquet, magnificently inlaid with pure silver, and its lower part was surrounded, also inlaid with silver, by a vine, or wreath...
Ejected by the explosion, the mysterious vessel, embedded in the rock, was at a depth of 15 feet... This item deserves the most careful study, because there can be no talk of any hoax in this case.” According to a recent map of the Boston-Dorchester area by the US Geological Survey, the local rock, now called the Roxbury Clastic, dates back to the Precambrian era, making it more than 600 million years old.
The Daily News of Omaha, Nebraska, in its April 2, 1897 issue, published a story under the headline: "Carved Stone Buried in a Mine" describing an interesting item found near Webster City, Iowa. ). The note said: “A miner, mining coal in the Lehigh mine, at a depth of 130 feet today came across a strange piece of stone, no one knows how it ended up at the bottom of the mine.
It was a dark gray block of stone, about 2 feet long, 1 foot wide and 4 inches thick. The surface of the stone, it should be noted that it was very hard, was covered with lines that formed polygons, very reminiscent of perfectly cut diamonds. At the center of each 'diamond' was a clear image of the face of an elderly person." The coal seams of the Lehigh Mine were formed during the Carboniferous period.
1949, January 10 - Robert Nordling sent Frank L. Marsh, an employee of Andrews University, located in Berrin Springs (Michigan), a photograph of an iron mug with the note: “Not long ago I visited the private museum of one of my friends in the South Missouri. Among the rarities stored there was this iron mug, a photograph of which is attached.”
Next to the mug on display in the museum was the text of a certificate that was written under oath by one Frank D. Kenwood in the city of Sulfur Springs (Arkansas) on November 27, 1948. This is what it said: “In 1912, while I was working for municipal power plant in Thomas (Oklahoma), I discovered a large lump of coal. It was quite large, and I had to break it with a hammer. This iron mug fell out of the block, leaving behind a hole in the coal. A company employee named Jim Stoll witnessed me breaking the block and getting the mug out of it. I was able to find out the origin of the coal - it was mined in the Wilburton mines in Oklahoma."
According to Robert O. Fay of the Oklahoma Geological Survey, the coal produced in the Wilburton mines dates back 312 million years.
1922, October 8 – the New York Sunday American magazine published, under the heading “Events of the Week in America,” Dr. V. Ballou’s sensational material entitled “The Mystery of the Petrified Sole of a Shoe.”
Ballou wrote: “Some time ago, the eminent mining engineer and geologist John T. Reid, while prospecting for minerals in the state of Nevada, unexpectedly came across a piece of stone that filled him with indescribable amazement. And there was a reason: on the stone lying at Reid’s feet, the imprint of a human sole was clearly visible! As it turned out upon closer examination, it was not just a trace of a bare foot, but, apparently, the sole of a shoe, which time had turned into stone. And although the front part of the sole was missing, at least two-thirds of its area was preserved, and along its perimeter there were clearly visible thread stitches, probably fastening the welt to the sole.”
The Triassic period, in which the sole was fossilized, ranges from 248 to 213 million years ago.
W. McCormick of Abilene, Texas, has a documented account of his grandfather's story about a concrete wall found deep in a coal mine: “In 1928, I, Atlas Almon Mathis, was working at Coal Mine No. 5, two miles away. north of Heavener, Oklahoma. The mine shaft was located vertically and, as we were told, went to a depth of two miles." One evening, Mathis planted an explosive charge in “room 24” of the mine.
“The next morning,” he recalled, “several cubic concrete blocks with a side of 12 inches were found in the hall, so smooth, literally polished, that the surface of any of the six faces of such a block could be used as a mirror.”
“And when I began to install fasteners in the hall,” Mathis continued, “the rock suddenly collapsed, and I was barely able to escape. Returning there after the rock had fallen, I saw a whole wall made of exactly the same polished blocks. Another miner, working 100 to 150 yards below, came across the same or exactly the same wall.” The coal mined in this mine belonged to the Carboniferous period, that is, its age is at least 286 million years.
Astronomer M. Jissup described another case of the discovery of a wall inside a coal mine: “It is reported ... in 1868, James Parsons and his two sons found a wall made of shale in the Hammonville (Ohio) coal mine. A huge smooth wall was revealed after the massive coal block that hid it collapsed. The surface of the wall was covered with several rows of relief hieroglyphic images.”
William D. Meister, a draftsman by trade and amateur trilobite collector, reported in 1968 a shoe print found in a shale layer near Antelope Springs, Utah. The imprint, similar to a shoe print, was discovered by Meister by splitting a piece of shale. Inside it, the remains of trilobites, extinct marine arthropods, are clearly visible. The shale, with fossilized trilobites and a shoe print, dates back to the Cambrian period and is between 505 and 590 million years old.
In an article in Creation Research Society Quarterly, Meister described an ancient print that resembles a booted foot: “Where the heel should be, there is a groove that is deeper than the rest of the footprint by an eighth of an inch (3 mm). This is definitely the mark of the right foot, because the shoe (or sandal) is very characteristically worn on the right.”
1984 - Richard L. Thompson met with Meister in Utah. A careful examination of the print did not reveal any obvious reasons for not recognizing the authenticity of a human footprint. Not only Thompson's visual inspection, but also computer analysis showed that the print found by Meister almost completely coincides with the outlines of modern shoes.
Over the course of several decades, South African miners found hundreds of metal balls with one, two or three parallel notches, encircling them as if at the equator. Roelf Marx, curator of the museum in the South African city of Klerksdorp, where several of these balls are kept, noted: “These balls are a complete mystery. They look as if they were made by man, but at the time when they were embedded in this rock, no intelligent life yet existed on Earth. I've never seen anything like it."
In the absence of convincing evidence for the natural origin of these finds, we believe that the South African notched metal balls, found in 2.8 billion-year-old mineral deposits, are the product of the activity of intelligent creatures.
Modern man's knowledge of ancient cultures is very limited. But architectural artifacts that have survived to our time give reason to believe that many millennia ago there were developed civilizations on our planet that were forgotten. Our review contains 10 archaeological finds, the mysteries of which still remain unsolved.
1. Ancient devices
Ancient civilizations knew much more and were more developed than scientists assumed 20 years ago. Archaeologists have discovered a number of ancient devices, from planispheres to prototype batteries. The most famous finds are the Nimrud lens and the Antikythera mechanism.
The Nimrud Lens, estimated to be approximately 3,000 years old, was discovered during excavations at the ancient Assyrian capital of Nimrud. Some experts believe that the lens was part of an ancient Babylonian telescope. This means that they had advanced knowledge of astronomy.
The famous Antikythera mechanism (200 BC) was created to calculate the movements of the sun, moon and planets. Unfortunately, people can only guess about why and how many ancient devices were created, and why ancient knowledge about them has disappeared.
2. Empire of Rama
For a long time it was believed that Indian civilization began only in 500 BC. However, discoveries made in the last century pushed back the origins of Indian civilization by several thousand years.
The cities of Harappa and Mohenjo-daro were discovered in the Indus Valley, which were perfectly planned even by modern standards. The Harappan culture also remains a mystery. Its roots are hidden for centuries, and the language has not yet been unraveled by scientists. There are no buildings in the city that would indicate different social classes, no temples or other places of worship. No other culture, including Egypt and Mesopotamia, had this level of urban planning.

From Scotland to Turkey, beneath hundreds of Neolithic settlements, archaeologists have discovered evidence of a vast network of underground tunnels. In Bavaria, some tunnels are up to 700 meters long. The fact that these tunnels have survived for 12,000 years is a testament to the extraordinary skill of the builders and the sheer size of the original network.
6. Puma Punku and Tiwanaku
Puma Punku is a megalithic complex near the ancient pre-Inca city of Tiwanaku in South America. The age of the megalithic ruins is highly controversial, but archaeologists are unanimous that they are older than the pyramids. The ruins are believed to be 15,000 years old.

Archaeologists discovered that the metal was poured into grooves cut into the stones, meaning the builders had portable factories. It is unclear why this technology and other methods of megalith construction were lost.

History buffs will also be interested. They are a legacy from forgotten civilizations.
The Far East, now almost deserted, was densely populated in ancient times. The Jurchen Empire - people of the white race - flourished there, which was the heir to a highly developed civilization that existed there three thousand years ago...
An ancient state of white people in the Far East
In the 50s of the 20th century, academician A.P. Okladnikov and his students discovered in the Far East the existence of the Golden Jurchen Empire, which existed there in the Middle Ages. It occupied the territory of modern Primorsky and Khabarovsk territories, the Amur region, eastern regions Mongolia, northern regions of Korea and the entire northern part of China. The capital of this vast empire long time was Yanqing (now Beijing). The empire included 72 tribes, the population ranged from 36 to 50 million people, according to various estimates. There were 1200 cities in the empire.
An ancient state of enormous size - white people in the Far East
Jurchen Empire
The Jurchen Empire rested on the foundation of ancient civilizations that existed long before “Great China” and possessed the highest technologies at that time: they knew how to produce porcelain, paper, bronze mirrors and gunpowder, and also possessed mysterious occult knowledge. Bronze mirrors, which were made in the Jurchen Empire, are found by archaeologists in the territory from Pacific Ocean to the Caspian Sea. In other words, the Jurchens used these achievements much earlier than the Chinese “discovered” them. In addition, the inhabitants of the empire used runic writing, which orthodox science is not able to decipher.
However, the empire received all these technological achievements from previous states that were located on its territory much earlier. The most mysterious of them is the state of Shubi, which is believed to have existed in the 1st-2nd millennium BC. They possessed truly unique knowledge and had underground communications in the form of tunnels with many parts of their empire and neighboring states.
It is quite possible that these underground passages still exist. Moreover, there are most likely underground tunnels, leading to Kuril Islands, Sakhalin and Kamchatka. For example, it is known that the idea of connecting Sakhalin with the mainland through a tunnel was developed at the end of the 19th century, but was not implemented. In 1950, this idea was resurrected by Stalin. On May 5, 1950, the USSR Council of Ministers issued a secret decree on the construction of a tunnel and a reserve sea ferry. It is quite possible that the secrecy was caused by the fact that it was planned not to build a tunnel, but only to restore what was built in antiquity. The tunnel was never built. Immediately after Stalin's death, construction was curtailed.
But let's return to Shubi. It was they who invented gunpowder, paper, porcelain and everything else the invention of which is attributed to the Chinese. In addition, they created an amazing system for the distribution of rare plants on the territory of their state. In other words, plants in Primorye not only grew “as God willing,” but they were specially selected, grown and planted. An eloquent witness to this selection is the yew grove on Petrov Island, and at the foot of Mount Pidan several old yew trees have been preserved, which are not found anywhere else in the region. This feature was noticed by Academician V.L. Komarov, a Russian botanist and geographer, and military topographer and ethnographer V.K. Arsenyev, who explored Primorye in 1902-1907 and 1908-1910, discovered that the boundaries of the Tibeto-Manchu flora coincided with the boundaries of the bygone Shubi civilization.
In addition, V.K. Arsenyev found and excavated numerous regular-shaped cities and stone roads in the taiga on the Dadianshan plateau. All this eloquently testifies to the scale of the bygone civilization. Remains of stone roads are still preserved in the coastal taiga. Apart from these fragments of material culture, very, very little information about the Shubi civilization has reached us; they are mostly of a legendary nature. Bohai legends also called the state of Shubi the Land of Magic Mirrors and the Land of Flying People.
Legends also claim that they all went to underground city, the entrance to which is located on the top of a large mountain (most likely Mount Pidan), that they made magic mirrors capable of showing the future from some kind of unusual gold. A two-meter statue of the so-called Golden Baba was made from this gold, which was worshiped by both the Bohais and the Jurchens as an ancient idol. Legends tell that this gold was not mined on the territory of Primorye, but it was brought through underground passages from the depths of volcanoes. When the cities of the Shubi country were deserted, and the Bohais and Jurchens went underground to the kingdom of the Shubi birds, they took with them “forty carts loaded to the brim with gold,” and this gold also disappeared.
Interesting information about mysterious mirrors is provided by the modern writer, traveler and researcher Vsevolod Karinberg in his essay “The Mystery of “Magic” Mirrors or the Matrix”:
“In Chinese paintings depicting celestial beings traveling through the clouds and tops of mythical mountains, you often see “magic” mirrors in their hands. “Magic mirrors” already existed in the 5th century, but the book “The History of Ancient Mirrors,” which described the method of making them, was lost in the 8th century. The convex reflective side is cast from light bronze, polished to a shine and coated with mercury amalgam. In different lighting conditions, if you hold the mirror in your hand, it is no different from normal. However, under bright sunlight, you can “look through” through its reflective surface and see patterns and hieroglyphs on the reverse side. In some mysterious way, massive bronze becomes transparent. Shen Gua in the book “Reflections on the Lake of Dreams” in 1086 wrote: “There are “mirrors that transmit light”, on the back side of which there are about twenty ancient hieroglyphs that cannot be deciphered, they “appear” on the front side and are reflected on the wall of the house , where they can be clearly seen. They are all similar to each other, they are all very ancient, and they all transmit light...”
So what are these ancient hieroglyphs that, already in the 11th century, could not be deciphered by a Chinese scientist? Chinese sources speak of a letter from the Bohai ruler, written in characters incomprehensible to the Chinese, reminiscent of paw prints of animals and birds. Moreover, this letter is not readable in any of the languages of the Tungus-Manchu group, which includes the Bohais and Jurchens. Therefore, they hastened to call this language unreadable and dead.
We know another language - the Etruscan language, which was also “unreadable” until recently, when they tried to read it in Russian. The same thing happened with the hieroglyphs, or rather runes, of the flying people from the Shubi Empire. They have been read. And they read it in Russian. See the works of V. Yurkovets “We will remember everything” and academician V. Chudinov “On the writing of the Jurchens according to Yurkovets.”
Moreover, we were able to find images of the Jurchen emperors. Or rather, not images, but busts that are exhibited today in Chinese city Harbin, in a museum called the Museum of the First Jin Capital.
Jurchen Emperor Taizu, Wanyan Aguda (1068-1123).
Jurchen Emperor Taizong, Wanyan Wuqimai (1075-1135).
Jurchen Emperor Xizong, Wanyan Hela (1119-1149).
Jurchen Emperor Hai Ling Wang, Wanyan Liang (1122-1161).

The photographs show busts of: the first Jurchen emperor Taizu, Wanyan Aguda (1115-1123), the second Jurchen emperor Taizong, Wanyan Wuqimai (1123-1135) - the younger brother of the previous emperor; the third Jurchen emperor Xizong, Wanyan Hel (1135-1149) and the fourth Jurchen emperor Hai Ling Wang, Wanyan Liang (1149-1161).
Pay attention to the racial traits of the emperors. These are people of the white race. In addition, the last picture shows an exhibit from the excavations of the Shaiginsky settlement, which is 70 km away. north of Nakhodka - unique monument Jurchen culture in the Primorsky Territory. This mirror was discovered in 1891, and in 1963 excavations of this monument began, which continued until 1992. As we can see, it depicts a swastika - the solar symbol of the Slavic-Aryans.
Even at the beginning of the 20th century, something was known about the Jurchen civilization, magic mirrors showing the future and other artifacts of this empire. And this is not surprising, because the territory of Primorye was part of the Great Tartaria - the huge empire of the White Race, which at one time occupied the territory of all of Eurasia. Europeans knew about its existence back in the 17th century, despite the fact that Europe was already completely torn away from it and began writing its own “unfair” history.
In 1653, “Atlas of Asia” by Nicholas Sanson, who talked about the easternmost part of Tartary - Cathai. Not to be confused with China, which was designated China or Cina on medieval maps and was located south of Cathay. It was Cathay, not China, that Marco Polo visited in the 13th century. It was his descriptions that served as the basis for plotting the farthest eastern territories of Eurasia on a 15th-century map created by the Venetian monk Fra Mauro in 1459. Thanks to this map, you can see cities completely unknown to modern historical science. The peculiarity of this map is the fact that north is at the bottom and south is at the top. Interactive map can be viewed here - http://www.bl.uk/magnificentmaps/map2.html. It also shows states unknown to today's historical science that were part of Cathay: Tangut and Tenduk.
In 1659, the "World History" of Dionysius Petavius, which described the rich and developed Tartar state of Cathai, which had long been called Scythia, which did not include the Himalayas. Like N. Sanson, he mentions the states included in Cathay: Tangut, Tenduc, Camul, Tainfur and Tibet. Unfortunately, these names, except for the last one, do not tell us anything today.
In 1676 in Paris, “World Geography” by Duval Dubville, which contained a description of the main countries of the world, among which several Tartaries occupied a significant place. Among them was “Kim(n) Tartary - this is one of the names by which Cathai is called, which is the largest state of Tartary, for it is heavily populated, full of rich and beautiful cities.”
This section of our website contains italian map China in 1682 by Giacomo Cantelli and Giovanni Giacomo de Rossi, which shows the possessions of the Jurchens: Tangut, Tenduk, the kingdom of the Nivkhs, which are called the Kin Tartars or Golden Tartars (remember that the Jurchen empire is called Golden) and the kingdom of Yupi (the kingdom of the Tartars, who dressed in fish skin).

After the defeat of Great Tartaria in the war of 1773, which was given the name “Pugachev’s Rebellion,” the memory of this empire began to be carefully erased, but this was not immediately possible. On maps of the 18th and sometimes 19th centuries, it, or its provinces, were still reflected, including the Far Eastern ones. For example, we look at maps: Tartary and Korea, Paris, 1780, by the French naval engineer M. Bonne, Chinese and Independent Tartary, 1806 by John Curry, geopolitical division of Asia, 1871 by the British cartographer Samuel Mitchell.
Let's return to the Jurchen empire and their magic mirrors. There is information that they were found by Nikolai Mikhailovich Przhevalsky (1839-1888), an officer of the General Staff. He made 5 expeditions to the Ussuri region, the lands of which by that time had been annexed by the Romanov Empire, and Central Asia. Based on the results of expeditions in the Amur region, the monumental work “Journey to the Ussuri Region” and “On the Foreign Population in the Southern Part of the Amur Region” was written. In St. Petersburg, at the Department of Oriental Studies of the Academy of Sciences, his field notes about the Ussuri region are kept, as well as a list of materials he transferred to the Russian Museum.
N.M. Przhevalsky.
These materials include a collection of bronze mirrors. According to legend, among these mirrors there is a magic mirror that shows the future, and into which great traveler looked in while setting off on his last expedition to Tibet. He intended to cross the Tien Shan Mountains and the Tarim Basin from north to south, explore the northwestern part of Tibet, and then visit the city of Lhasa. However, in the mirror he saw that he would not return back. And indeed, on the border with Tibet, Przhevalsky suddenly fell ill, as they say, either from drinking raw water, or from sweating while hunting and catching a cold, or from typhoid fever. However, there is another version - poisoning. The fact is that the expedition of an officer of the Russian General Staff aroused fears both in the Chinese government and among the British, who were at odds with Tibet, and suspected a secret political mission on the part of the Russian government in the expedition.
After each Przhevalsky expedition, the Academy of Sciences and the Russian Geographical Society regularly organized exhibitions of the richest material that he brought to the capital - hundreds of stuffed animals, skins of wild animals, an endless number of herbariums and material artifacts, for example, magic mirrors, which he purposefully searched for, as well as Golden Baba of the Jurchens. By the way, he so persistently wanted to go to Tibet, also because he believed that the main Jurchen artifacts were taken there. He didn’t find the woman, but he brought a mirror. At the beginning of 1887, the Museum of the Academy of Sciences hosted an exhibition of Przhevalsky’s collections, which was visited by Emperor Alexander III. He was very interested in the Magic Mirror. Przhevalsky told him that he saw his death in the mirror during a trip to Tibet. The Emperor looked into the mirror, after which he ordered the mirrors to be removed from the exhibition.
The son of Alexander III, Nicholas II, was also interested in the mystery of the magic mirror. He met with another outstanding researcher of Primorye, military topographer Vladimir Klavdievich Arsenyev, who, after an expedition around the region in 1910, also organized an exhibition of artifacts. Arsenyev told the emperor not only about magic mirrors, but also about a special type of gold, about the Golden Baba, and showed rock samples that he brought from the expedition.
V.K. Arsenyev.
What was this special type of gold? Let us turn again to the text by Vsevolod Karinberg “The Mystery of the “Magic” Mirrors or the Matrix”:
“In the Academic Town of Novosibirsk, Professor Ershov at the Institute of Programming and Informatics conducted research on the problem of Chinese mirrors. And it seems that something has become clearer for them, if all the conclusions were suddenly classified. Research was also carried out in Leningrad (St. Petersburg) at the Electro-Mechanical Institute under the leadership of Zhores Alferov. They showed that the bronze alloy from which the mirror is made contains, in addition to copper, tin, and zinc, also rare earth elements of groups 6 and 7: rhenium, iridium. The alloy contains nickel, gold, mercury, silver, platinum, palladium, as well as radioactive elements - impurities of thorium, actinium, uranium.
And the special light bronze of the front surface of the mirror contains phosphorus in large quantities for some reason. It is assumed that when sunlight hits the mirror, the alloy is excited and its radioactive radiation causes the front mirror surface to glow in certain places. There is one more trick in these mirrors - a spiral winding of multilayer metal tapes on the handle. There is a hypothesis that through this handle, human bioenergy is transferred to the mirror. And that is why someone is able to simply activate the mirror, and someone is able to see pictures of the future in it.
The symbols on the back surface of the mirror act on the human psyche, and it is they that allow you to tune in to pictures of the subtle world. The combination of rare elements in the alloy, inherent in Chinese mirrors, is found in only one mine. In 1985 on the island. In Kunashir, in the former closed zone of the Japanese Imperial Reserve on the Zolotaya River, next to the Tyatya volcano, adits were discovered where the Japanese mined gold throughout the war, moreover, ore, chemically bound, and not alluvial, which is why no one knew about it.
And here we again come to the mystery of Bohai gold. According to legend, when going underground, the Bohai people took with them “forty carts loaded to the brim with gold.” The largest gold bar was the Golden Woman - a sculpture about two meters high. Both Shubi gold and Bohai gold were not mined in the territory of modern Primorye. Gold was brought through underground passages from the underground country of Shubi, from the depths of volcanoes. When the cities of the land of Shubi were deserted, the gold disappeared.
The gold of Shubi, or, if you like, the gold of Bohai, reveals one secret, because of which the researchers of the secrets of magic mirrors, pioneers in Primorye, may have died. No one imagined that there was gold from volcanoes, especially ore. The melt squeezes out through basalt rocks, in some “pockets” up to 1200 grams per cubic meter of soil. Inside the volcanoes there is silver, platinum and rare earth elements, which are very rare in nature. Gold! This is what the world power Japan fought for. Underground passages leading to the gold volcanic mines of the Kuril Islands, Sakhalin, Kamchatka, quite possibly, exist to this day ... "
