17 amazing prehistoric secrets of science so far unsolved 2 – 17 prehistoric mysteries that defy scientists

  1. Great Pyramid of Khufu, Egypt

The Great Pyramid of Khufu in Egypt consists of 2.3 million megaliths, each weighing an average of 2.5 tons, with the largest weighing 250 tons.

Its geometric dimensions are very precise, its four faces facing the southeast and northwest, its height multiplied by 10^9 is equal to the distance from the earth to the sun, multiplied by 43,200 times exactly equal to the distance from the pole to the equatorial plane, its circumference multiplied by 43,200 times exactly equal to the circumference of the earth’s equator.

Its site is exactly on the meridian of the Earth, and the small hole inside the pyramid is facing Sirius. The meridian that passes through the pyramid just divides the earth’s oceans and land into two equal halves. The base area of this pyramid divided by twice the height of the tower is exactly the famous circumference; the whole pyramid is situated at the center of gravity of each continent.

Can you say that all of this was done by coincidence? The list of “coincidences” could go on and on, but are they all just coincidences? Such doubts may have shaken the Egyptian national pride, but for the amazing project of piling 2.3 million megaliths, scholars point out that, with the technology of the time, Egypt must have 50 million people to barely afford, while the world was only 20 million people.

In addition, French chemist Joseph David Douves studied chemically and microscopically and concluded that the stones of the pyramids were most likely poured by hand.

He concluded, based on the results of laboratory tests, that the stones of the pyramids were made of lime and shells by artificial pouring and coagulation, the method is similar to today’s pouring coagulation. Because this mixture solidifies very well, it is difficult to distinguish the difference between it and the natural stone.

In addition, David Dewis also put forward – a convincing supporting evidence: in the stone he found a strand of human hair about 1 inch long, the only possible explanation is that workers in the operation accidentally dropped the strand of hair into the concrete, preserved to this day.

There must have been some people who used highly developed construction techniques to build the pyramids before the ancient Egyptians. They tried to convey some kind of message to future generations through the pyramids, along with their pride.

The latest discoveries by scientists show that the pyramids have evidence of having been submerged underwater.

  1. Two billion year old nuclear reactor

Two billion years ago, in what is today the Republic of Gabon, Africa, there existed a large chain nuclear reactor that operated for many thousands of years. Oklo is the name of a uranium mine in the Gabonese Republic of Africa. From this mine, France obtained the uranium it needed for its nuclear program.

When the uranium ore from this mine was shipped to a French gas diffusion plant in 1972, it was discovered that the ore had been used and contained less than 0.3% uranium, which is below the natural content of 0.711%. It appears that the uranium ore had already been used by a nuclear reactor.

The French government announced the discovery, which shocked the world.

Two billion year old uranium found in the Gabonese Republic of Africa

Scientists studied this uranium mine and presented their findings at a conference of the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) in 1975.

So, what is this uranium mine all about? Indeed, these uranium ores were utilized. French scientists found nuclear fission products and TRU waste in different places throughout the mine. At first, these discoveries were confusing because it is impossible to make a nuclear reactor cross the critical point (and have a nuclear reaction) with natural uranium, except in special cases with graphite and heavy water.

The half-life of U235 is seven hundred million (7.13 X 8 zeros) years, which is less than the half-life of U238, which is four and a half billion (4.51 X 9 zeros) years. Since the formation of the Earth, more U235 has decayed compared to U238. This would suggest that the natural uranium ore was much more concentrated long ago than it is today.

In fact, a simple calculation proves that this concentration was about 3% 3 billion years ago. This concentration is sufficient to carry out nuclear reactions in normal water. And there was a water source near Oklo at that time. What is surprising is that the composition of the reactor is very reasonable.

The nuclear reactor found

For example, the results of the current study show that the nuclear reactor was several kilometers long and consisted of about 500 tons of uranium ore in six areas, and that the thermal disturbance to the surroundings of such a huge nuclear reactor was limited to 40 meters around the reaction zone. What is even more surprising is that the waste from the nuclear reaction did not spread, but was confined to the area around the mine, where the nuclear reactor operated for 500,000 years.

In other words, two billion years ago, in the place we call Oklo today, there may have existed a highly developed civilization, far beyond the civilization of humans today. In fact, now, many people know that this is the remains left by prehistoric civilization. In the face of all this, scientists have acknowledged it as an ancient nuclear reactor, written it into textbooks, and studied its value in nuclear waste disposal.

But not many have dared to explore it one step further. Even the largest nuclear reactor that mankind can build today pales in comparison to this large nuclear reactor. How could such an advanced civilization have declined and disappeared? It is interesting to ponder.

  1. Sphinx on the Kisha Plateau, Egypt

The Sphinx on the Kisha Plateau, facing east, has been analyzed by the latest astronomical and geological analyses, and its construction may be much older than the archaeologists’ earlier estimates.

The erosion of the body of the Sphinx does not appear to have been caused by wind and sand, which would have caused horizontal, sharp erosion, while the erosion of the Sphinx has a more rounded edge, with a sinuous, curved downward wavy shape, and some deep leaching marks, up to 2 meters deep, according to Professor Shu Qi of the American Geological Society.

Sphinx

In addition, the upper part of the statue is more eroded, but the lower part is not so eroded. This is typical of rainwater erosion. The Sphinx was exposed to the air for no more than 1,000 years at most, and the rest of the time it was buried in the sand and gravel.

If it was built during the Kafra dynasty in Egypt and eroded by sand, then other limestone buildings of the same era would have been subject to the same degree of erosion, yet none of the buildings of the ancient dynasties were eroded to the same degree as the Sphinx.

Since there has not been enough rainfall on the Kisar plateau since the 3rd millennium B.C. to cause erosion of the Sphinx, these traces can only be explained by the fact that they are remnants of a time long ago when rainfall and temperature on the Kisar plateau were high.

Sphinx

According to astronomical calculations, the sun rose in the eastern sky with Leo as the background at the vernal equinox every year on earth from 11,000 B.C. to about 8,810 B.C., and the sphinx was facing Leo at that time.

Based on the above analysis, archaeologists speculate that the sphinx was probably built more than 10,000 years ago. Scientists’ latest findings show that the Sphinx has evidence of having been submerged in water.

  1. The theater of ancient Greek civilization

The ancient Greek civilization left behind many amazing relics, one of which is the Dionysus Theater, which can seat 15,000 people and has good acoustics.

Although it is a form of field theater, but in the center of the stage, even if very quiet speech, in the audience can also be heard very clearly, such a high design technology we modern humans can not reach.

  1. The crystal skull of Honduras

In 1927, a crystal skull was discovered in present-day Honduras, estimated to date from around the Mayan civilization.

It was made of high purity clear crystal, indistinguishable from a human skull.

The crystal skull leaves no traces of tools used, i.e., it is a complete crystal carving.

The hardness of crystal is about 7 degrees, and it is impossible to use a normal knife without leaving traces on the crystal. When the nostrils were illuminated with laser light, the entire skull emitted light.

Therefore, scientists speculate that the skull has a complex lens reflection effect inside. It is difficult for our modern technology to reach such a level.

  1. The 5,000-year-old Tower of Babylon

Located at the site of ancient Babylon and built 5,000 years ago, the Tower of Babylon is 91 meters long and 91 meters wide, made of huge stones, with seven floors and hundreds of meters high. The ancient Greek historian Herodotus also recorded such a tower in his work. When he visited the city of Babylon in 460 B.C., he saw the abandoned Babylonian tower.

According to his description, the Tower of Babylon had a solid main tower, about 201 meters high, with eight floors. Outside, there was a spiral passage that went up around the tower to the top, and there was a seat for resting halfway up. Herodotus noted that the base of the tower was about 90 meters on each side and about 90 meters in height.

He also recorded that on the tower of Babylon “was built a great temple, in which there was a large and exquisite sleeping chair, magnificently furnished, with a golden table beside it.” Herodotus’ account roughly depicts the majesty of the Tower of Babylon.

  1. 4,000-year-old megalithic group in England

There are many megalithic structures remaining in the countries of Western Europe, among which the megalithic group in the Solesbourne Plain in southern England is particularly spectacular and the most difficult.

The tall megalithic fence, made of 4-meter-high boulders weighing 25 to 30 tons, suddenly appeared in the middle of a large, completely open field without any cover.

It is generally believed to be 4,000 years old, and it has been proven that the megalithic group was built by a high level of civil engineering technology, and the boulders used originated from 33 and 200 kilometers away, which could only be done with modern transportation.

According to scientists, the megalithic group cleverly implies a lot of astronomical knowledge.

  1. 1,000 megalithic statues on Easter Island

Easter Island is located 3,700 kilometers offshore from the coast of Chile, with an island area of about 120 square kilometers.

There are about 1,000 megalithic statues found on the island. The head of the statue is unusually large, with ears hanging long from the top of the head down, two arms also hanging long close to the body, mouth in a zigzag shape, and face facing the distant space.

Most of the stone statues weigh about 20 tons, ranging in height from 3.5 meters to 4.5 meters, the largest is about 10 meters high, weighing 90 tons, and in the stone statues not yet completed, there are twice as large as this.

Some of these statues also wear hats made of red volcanic rock, and it is more difficult to put these hats on the statues than to make the statues themselves. At the same time, there are eyes made of white coral stone on the statue.

It is believed that all the stone statues came from a quarry in another part of the island. In addition to the stone statues, other remains have been found on the island, including wooden panels with hieroglyphic inscriptions that resemble oriental writing.

  1. The Great Lighthouse of Alexandria

The Great Lighthouse of Alexandria, one of the Eight Wonders of the World in Egypt, is a huge white marble structure that rises more than 150 meters above the sea and is originally 16 stories high.

There are many other megalithic structures like this in the world, and modern humans did not master the building techniques necessary for such tall structures until after the 20th century.

The traditional view is that the emergence of modern human civilization is at most a few thousand years old, thousands of years ago mankind is still in the primitive society of slash-and-burn farming, hair and blood, how can there be such a high level of technology? How could there be such a high level of human civilization thousands or tens of thousands of years ago? Obviously, these megalithic buildings can only be attributed to the relics of prehistoric human civilization, and they are the testimony of human prehistoric culture.

Judging from the prehistoric technological civilizations that have been discovered, prehistoric humans had a very high level of technology, many of which are beyond the reach of even our modern humans, yet they are products of the distant past. Prehistoric man’s knowledge of geography and astronomy was also comparable to that of our modern humans.

  1. Weaving 27,000 years ago

London, China, April 26, 2000: American archaeologists have discovered that as early as 27,000 years ago, during the Paleolithic period, primitive people who lived by hunting invented weaving and were able to use looms to weave items such as hats, clothes, baskets and nets.

According to the journal British Archaeology, archaeology has previously believed that weaving did not emerge until about 5,000 to 1,000 years ago, after the beginning of agricultural civilization. Dr. Olga Sofer of the University of Illinois and colleagues said they analyzed more than 90 fragments of Paleolithic clay found in the Czech Republic and found textile marks on them.

These marks show a variety of fiber weaving techniques, including tangling and plain weaving. Among them, plain weaving must be done with a loom. This suggests that primitive people in the hunting period already had sophisticated textiles, rather than just animal skins as originally thought.

Based on this discovery, Soffer et al. also studied some of the Paleolithic female statues found in Europe. They found that these statues had hair braid-like tangles on their heads, which had previously been thought to be a hair style. Dr. Soffer said, “Now it seems more apt to say they were hats.”

  1. 2.8 Billion Year Old Metal Balls

In smelting technology, miners on the slopes of Mount Clack in South Africa have found hundreds of metal balls in strata that have been proven to be about 2.8 billion years old.

The grooves that surround the iron balls are so delicate that experts in iron-making technology find it difficult to explain them as having been formed by natural processes.

  1. 600 million-year-old metal vase

On June 5, 1852, Scientific American reported under the title “A Relic of a Bygone Age” that a 600-million-year-old Precambrian vase was found in the Dorchester, Massachusetts, area. The metal vase, a zinc-white alloy, was found in a rock layer in Dorchester, Massachusetts, 600 million years ago, and was determined to contain a large amount of silver.

  1. 4,000-year-old iron pillar

A pillar about 7 meters high, 49 centimeters in diameter and weighing about 6 tons was erected in the Memorial Tower Temple in New Delhi (New Delhi), India.

It is estimated that the ancient iron pillar, which is at least 4,000 years old, has not rusted in any way to date, and phosphorus, sulfur, and weathering do not have any effect on it.

This is because 99.72% of the composition of this iron pillar was formed by an extremely high degree of iron refining, which is impossible for any modern human being to achieve such a high level of iron refining technology.

  1. Prehistoric Geography

In terms of geography, the Turkish Haki Yahmad The coastlines of North and South America were marked on a map drawn by the Turk Hakim Ahmad as early as 1559 AD, but travelers and cartographers discovered the Americas two and a half centuries later.

The Americas are also documented in ancient Tibetan texts dating back 3500 years.

The Turkish Orench. The coastline of the Antarctic map drawn by the Turk Orenzi Fainaus in 1532 is very similar to the modern map of Antarctica, and it also shows precisely the shape of the continent before it was frozen over 8,000 years ago.

The topography of the Antarctic beneath the ice was known to modern man only by scientists in 1958 AD through surveys that penetrated the ice.

All of these 16th century maps were copied from much older maps.

  1. Prehistoric astronomy

Ancient man had a very rich knowledge of astronomy, such as the astronomical knowledge implied by the discovered Egyptian pyramids and sphinxes, the Mayan calendar, the astronomical knowledge of the Domingos in Africa, the astronomical calendar of the Tiahuanaco site in South America, the artificial moon, etc.

It is clear from the deciphered ancient calendars that the astronomical knowledge they possessed was quite accurate.

  1. Mayan Calendar

The Maya are a people with a high level of scientific civilization that existed throughout history. This mysterious people lived in the Yucatan region of present-day Mexico, Guatemala, Honduras, and other places. Archaeologists believe that the Maya had an extremely brilliant civilization.

In the Maya culture there are many answers to the mysteries of man, life and the universe. Many Mayan pyramids, temples and ancient buildings can be found in the Yucatan Peninsula and in some parts of what is now Guatemala. There are also many stone carvings and many enigmatic inscriptions.

The answers are probably in the books they left behind, and some are inscribed on stone tablets and in myths. Unfortunately, the invasion of the Spanish army after 1517 torched the precious books in the Mayan library.

All that remains today are the surviving inscriptions and a few incomprehensible calendars. In astronomy, the ancient Maya did not know telescopes, but knew the precise orbital cycles of the celestial bodies, and they are very similar to the modern ones.

For example, the precise modern measurement of the solar year (i.e., a year in the general sense) is 365.2422 days, while the ancient Maya knew the length of the solar year to be 365.2420, which is only 0.0002 days less than the exact figure; similarly, the Mayan concept of the moon’s orbit around the earth is 29.530588, while the modern measurement is 29.528395. The Mayan calculation of Venus’ The Mayan calculation of the conjunction period of Venus can be accurate to only one day every 6000 years.

The Mayan calendar also includes an extraordinary study of Venus, they can accurately calculate a Venusian year is 584 days, if according to their method to calculate the orbital cycle of Venus, a thousand years only one day of error, which is an extremely amazing astronomical achievements. A stone tablet excavated in Quiriga, Guatemala, indicates the position of the sun and moon on a certain day more than 400 million years ago, and its calculation process is clear.

The Mayan calendar and the Mayan number system are as mysterious as the people themselves, and no one knows where they came from. The Mayan calendar is unlike any other calendar in the world, and one of the most difficult things to understand is the surprisingly large number units they used, as if they were the highly refined number system needed for astronomical calculations.

The Maya also had a wealth of astronomical knowledge and calculated the Earth’s orbit around the Sun with great precision. Their calendars noted the cycles of the Earth’s orbit and lunar eclipses, as well as the coincidence and synchronization of orbits between other planets. In fact, the Mayan knowledge of celestial bodies went far beyond the solar system. In a Mayan calendar called “Tzolkin” (Tzolkin), the galactic seasons were recorded! No wonder scientists call the Mayans “cosmic travelers” (Galatic Navigator).

Since the Mayans were able to measure the changes of the galactic seasons, if the relevant aspects of the Mayan calendar can be deciphered, there will be many insights for us to understand the mysteries of human beings, life and the universe. An American historian, Dr. Hershey, has devoted his life to the study of the Mayan civilization. In his book “The Mayan Effect”, Dr. Hosie has a detailed discussion of the Mayan calendar.

  1. Modern astronomical knowledge of the African mercury tribe

In Africa, there is a tribe called “Dogon”, which has a very detailed knowledge of Sirius in their mind since a long time ago.

Sirius was so difficult to observe that the first pictures of it were not available to modern people until 1970.

The following is a description of Sirius by the Dogon people and a confirmation by modern astronomy: In Dogon lore, Sirius was a double star system, and now astronomers with the most advanced telescopes have found that Sirius does have two companions.

The Dogon dance for Sirius

One of the companions (Sirius B) is known to have an elliptical orbit, revolving around Sirius once every about 50 years, and according to astronomers, its period is now confirmed to be 49.98 years, which is very close to the data of the Dogon people.

The mercurians believed that Sirius B was white, the heaviest star in the sky, and made of a heavier than iron material. Modern research confirms that Sirius B is indeed the most representative of white dwarfs, emits white light, and has a diameter similar to that of the Earth, but a texture close to that of the Sun, so that its density is 130,000 times that of water and 16,000 times that of iron.

The Dogon’s knowledge of Sirius is astounding

This high-density material, which simply cannot exist on Earth, has the largest unit weight (specific gravity) of any known planet. The Dogon also knew long ago that Saturn has rings and that Jupiter has 4 major moons.
