What happened 600 years ago. The Earth once looked like an alien place! Figures from Ecuador

Original taken from irnella in

Otherwise, how can one explain that there are a large number of artifacts in the world, the origin of which cannot be explained from the point of view of the usual theory of the origin of mankind.

Judge for yourself.

Figures from Ecuador

Figures very reminiscent of astronauts were found in Ecuador, their age is more than 2000 years.

Stone plate from Nepal

The Loladoff plate is called a stone dish, whose age is more than 12 thousand years. This artifact was found in Nepal. The images and clear lines carved into the surface of this flat stone prompted many researchers to think about its extraterrestrial origin. After all, the ancient people could not handle stone so skillfully? In addition, the "plate" depicts a creature that is very reminiscent of an alien in its well-known form.

Trilobite boot footprint

"... On our Earth, archaeologists have discovered a once living creature called a trilobite. It existed 600-260 million years ago, after which it became extinct. An American scientist found a trilobite fossil on which a human footprint is visible, and with a clear shoe print. Doesn't this make historians the subject of a joke? Based on Darwin's evolutionary theory, how could man exist 260 million years ago? "

IKI stones

"The Museum of the State University of Peru contains a stone on which a human figure is carved. Research has shown that it was carved 30 thousand years ago. But this figure in clothes, a hat and shoes holds a telescope in his hands and observes a celestial body. years ago people knew how to weave? How can it be that people even then walked in clothes? It is completely incomprehensible that he holds a telescope in his hands and observes a celestial body. It means that he also possesses certain astronomical knowledge. It has long been known to us that a European is Galileo invented the telescope just over 300 years ago. Who invented this telescope 30,000 years ago? "

Jade Discs: A Puzzle for Archaeologists

In ancient China, around 5000 BC, large stone discs made of jade were placed in the graves of local nobility. Their purpose, as well as the method of manufacture, still remains a mystery to scientists, because jade is a very durable stone.

Disc Sabu: The Untold Mystery Of Egyptian Civilization.

The mystical ancient artifact, believed to be part of an unknown mechanism, was found by the Egyptologist Walter Brian in 1936 while examining the tomb of Mastab Sabu, who lived from about 3100 to 3000 BC. The burial is located near the village of Sakkara.

The artifact is a regular round thin-walled stone plate made of meta-silt (metasylt in Western terminology) with three thin rims bent towards the center and a small cylindrical bushing in the middle. In places where the edge petals are bent towards the center, the disc circumference continues with a thin rim of circular cross section about a centimeter in diameter. The diameter is about 70cm, the shape of the circle is not perfect. This plate raises a number of questions, both about the incomprehensible purpose of such an object, and about the method by which it was made, since it has no analogues.

It is quite possible that five thousand years ago, Saba's disk had some important role. However, at the moment, scientists cannot accurately determine its purpose and complex structure. The question remains open.

Vase 600 million years old

The message about an extremely unusual find was published in a scientific journal in 1852. It was about a mysterious vessel about 12 cm high, two halves of which were discovered after an explosion in one of the quarries. This vase with clear images of flowers was located inside a rock, 600 million years old.

Corrugated spheres

For the past few decades, miners in South Africa have dug up mysterious metal balls. The diameter of these balls of unknown origin is approximately an inch (2.54 cm), and some of them are engraved with three parallel lines running along the axis of the object. Two kinds of balls have been found: one is made of a hard bluish metal with white spots, while the other is empty on the inside and filled with a white spongy substance. Interestingly, the rock in which they were discovered dates back to the Precambrian period and dates back to 2.8 billion years! Who made these spheres and for what remains a mystery.

Fossil giant. Atlant.

The 12-foot petrified giant was found in 1895 while mining in the English city of Antrim. Photos of the giant taken from the British magazine "The Strand" for December 1895. He is 12'2 "(3.7 m) high, 6'6" (2 m) chest girth, and 4'6 "(1.4 m) arms. It is noteworthy that there are 6 fingers on his right hand.

The six fingers and toes are reminiscent of the people mentioned in the Bible (2nd Book of Samuel): “There was still a battle in Gath; and there was one tall man who had six fingers and toes, twenty-four in all. "

The thighbone of the giant.

In the late 1950s, during road construction in southeastern Turkey in the Euphrates Valley, a number of gigantic burials were excavated. In two, femurs were found about 120 centimeters long. Joe Taylor, director of the Crosbyton Fossil Museum, Texas, USA, carried out the renovation. The owner of a femur of this size was about 14-16 feet (about 5 meters) tall and a foot size 20-22 inches (almost half a meter!). When he walked, his fingers were 6 feet above the ground.

Huge human footprint.

This footprint was found near Glen Rose in Texas in the Palaxy River. The print is 35.5 cm long and almost 18 cm wide. Paleontologists say that the print is female. The study showed that the person who left such an imprint was about three meters.

Giants from Nevada.

There is a Native American legend about 12-foot (3.6 m) red-haired giants who lived in the area of \u200b\u200bNevada. It talks about American Indians killing giants in a cave. During the excavation of guano, a huge jaw was found. The photo compares two jaws: a found one and a normal human.

In 1931, two skeletons were found at the bottom of the lake. One was 8 feet (2.4 m) high and the other just under 10 feet (approx. 3 m).

Ica stones. Rider on a dinosaur.

A figurine from the collection of Voldemar Dzhulsrud. Rider on a dinosaur.

1944 city \u200b\u200bof Acambaro - 300 km north of Mexico City.

Aluminum wedge from Ayud.

In 1974, an aluminum wedge coated with a thick layer of oxide was found on the banks of the Maros River, which is near the city of Ayud in Transylvania. It is noteworthy that it was found among the remains of a mastodon, which is 20 thousand years old. Usually find aluminum with impurities of other metals, but the wedge was of pure aluminum.

It is impossible to find an explanation for this find, since aluminum was discovered only in 1808, and began to be produced in industrial quantities only in 1885. The wedge is still being investigated in some secret place.

Piri Reis Map

This map, rediscovered in a Turkish museum in 1929, is a mystery not only because of its astonishing accuracy, but also because of what it depicts.

Drawn on the skin of a gazelle, the Piri Reis map is the only surviving portion of the larger map. It was compiled in the 1500s, according to the inscription on the map itself, from other maps of the three hundredth year. But how is this possible if the map shows:

South America exactly relative to Africa
-Western coasts of North Africa and Europe, and the east coast of Brazil
Most striking is the partially visible continent far to the South, where we know Antarctica is, although it was not discovered until 1820. Even more mysterious is that it is depicted in detail and without ice, although this land mass has been covered with ice for at least six thousand years.

This artifact is also not available for public viewing today.

Ancient springs, screws and metal.

They are similar to the items found in the scrap box in any workshop.

Obviously, these artifacts were made by someone. However, this set of springs, hinges, coils and other metal objects have been found in sedimentary layers that are one hundred thousand years old! Foundries were not common at the time.

Thousands of these things - some one thousandth of an inch! - were discovered by gold prospectors in the Ural Mountains of Russia in the 1990s. Excavated from 3 to 40 feet deep in the upper Pleistocene layers of earth, these mysterious objects may have been created between 20,000 and 100,000 years ago.

Could they be proof of the existence of a long-lost but advanced civilization?

Shoe marks on granite.

This fossil footprint was found in a coal seam in Fisher Canyon, Nevada. It is estimated that this coal is 15 million years old!

And lest you think that this is a fossil of some animal, the shape of which resembles the sole of a modern shoe, examination of the trace under a microscope revealed clearly visible traces of a double seam line around the perimeter of the shape. The footprint is about size 13 and the right side of the heel looks more worn than the left.
How did the imprint of modern footwear 15 million years ago end up on what would later become carbon?

The Mysterious Finds of Elias Sotomayor: The Oldest Globe.

The expedition led by Elias Sotomayor in 1984 managed to discover a large treasure of the oldest artifacts. In the Ecuadorian La Mana mountain range, in a tunnel at a depth of over ninety meters, 300 stone products were discovered.

One of the oldest globes on Earth, also made of stone, was also discovered in the La Mana tunnel. On a far from ideal ball, the manufacture of which, perhaps, the master simply spared efforts, but a rounded boulder, there are images of the continents familiar from school times.

But if many outlines of the continents differ little from modern ones, then from the coast of Southeast Asia towards America the planet looks completely different. Huge masses of land are depicted where now only the boundless sea splashes.

The Caribbean Islands and the Florida Peninsula are completely absent. Just below the equator, in the Pacific Ocean, there is a giant island, roughly the size of modern Madagascar. Modern Japan is part of a gigantic mainland that stretches to the shores of America and stretches far south. It remains to add that the find at La Mana, apparently, is the oldest map in the world.

Ancient jade service for 12 persons.

Other findings of Sotomayor are no less interesting. In particular, a "service" of thirteen bowls was found. Twelve of them are ideally equal in volume, and the thirteenth is much larger. If you fill 12 small bowls with liquid to the brim, and then drain them into a large one, then it will fill exactly to the brim. All bowls are made of jade. The purity of their processing suggests that the ancients had a stone processing technology similar to that of a modern lathe.

So far, the finds made by Sotomayor raise more questions than they answer. But they once again confirm the thesis that our information about the history of the Earth and mankind is still very far from perfect.

Strange-looking fossils were first discovered in the Ediacara Hills burial site in Australia, and later in sediments from other regions: Charnwood Forest (England) and Avalon Peninsula (Canada). These fossils are 610-543 million years old (shortly before the beginning of the Cambrian). Most of them were several centimeters in size and were significantly larger than their predecessors. Many of these organisms have no analogues with any species that lived before or after the Ediacaran period. It was suggested that the most "strange" representatives of the Ediacaran fauna should be attributed to a separate kingdom - "Vendozoa". It is among them that Charnia belongs - the most ancient of the finds of the Ediacaran period (age - 580 million years).

However, some Ediacaran organisms may turn out to be predecessors of later fauna:

Kimberella is possibly an early mollusc. Some fossils contain scratches, suggesting a mode of movement similar to that of the Cambrian;

Arkarua may have been echinoderm, although it lacks some of the characteristics of later echinoderms (Arkarua lacks stereom, a unique crystalline form of calcium carbonate that is the building block of their exoskeletons);

Spriggina possibly belongs to trilobites and, accordingly, arthropods. However, its body has not bilateral, but sliding symmetry, which is characteristic of Vendobionts;

Parvancorina is arguably the most likely early arthropod candidate. However, they do not show signs of legs, or a complex digestive system.

Cloudina is a small animal (0.3 to 6.5 mm in diameter; 8 mm to 15 cm in length) that looks like a stack of cones inserted with sharp ends into each other. Cloudina is believed to be the common ancestor of polychaete worms, but the exact classification remains open. This is one of the first animals to have a calcified shell, that is, a hard part of the body (in the paleontological sense).

Holes in Cloudina sinks. Selection in the predator-prey system

In some places, up to 20% of Cloudina fossils contain holes with a diameter of 15 to 400 microns, left by predators. Some Cloudina have been damaged several times, which indicates their ability to repel attacks (predators do not re-attack empty shells). Sinotubulites, very similar to Cloudina, found in the same graves do not contain holes at all. This selectivity may indicate the existence already in the Ediacaran period of evolutionary selection of size classes, as well as the specialization of prey in response to predation, considered as one of the causes of the Cambrian explosion.

Increase in the diversity of traces left by organisms (565-543 Ma)

Fossilized traces of Rusophycus left by trilobites.

The earliest Ediacaran fossils, dating back to 610-600 million years ago, contained only footprints left by creepers. More complex tracks appear about 565 million years ago. To leave them, the organisms needed a skin-muscle sac, and their general structure was more difficult than that of eadworms or flatworms.

Immediately before the beginning of the Cambrian (about 543 Ma ago), many new tracks appear, including vertical minks (Diplocraterion and Skolithos), as well as traces of possible arthropods (Cruziana and Rusophycus. Vertical minks indicate that worm-like animals have acquired new behavior and, possibly The traces of Cruziana and Rusophycus indicate the existence of an exoskeleton in the immediate predecessors of arthropods, although perhaps not as rigid as later.

This is how the ancient continent Aldred looked hundreds of millions of years ago. 570-500 million years ago, the distribution of land over the Earth's surface was different than it is today. On the site of North America and Greenland, the continent of Laurentia existed. The Brazilian mainland stretched south of Laurentia.

The African mainland included Africa, Madagascar, and Arabia. To the north of it was the Russian continent, corresponding to the Russian platform within the boundaries of the Danube delta, Dniester, Vistula, the Norwegian Sea, the Barents Sea, the Pechora, Ufa, Belaya rivers, the north of the Caspian Sea, the Volga delta, and the north of the Black Sea. The center of the platform is the city of Vladimir between the Oka and Volga rivers.

On the Russian platform, Cambrian deposits are distributed almost everywhere in its northern part, and are also known in the western parts of Belarus and Ukraine. To the east of the Russian continent was the Siberian continent - Angarida, which included the Siberian platform and adjacent mountain structures. In the place of modern China there was the Chinese mainland, to the south of it - the Australian mainland, covering the territory of modern India and Western Australia.

Ordovician period

At the beginning of the Paleozoic (500-440 million years ago) in the Northern Hemisphere from the ancient platforms - Russian, Siberian, Chinese and North American - a single continent of Laurasia was formed.

Hindustan (Madagascar island, Hindustan peninsula, south of the Himalayas), African (without the Atlas Mountains), South American (east of the Andes), Antarctic platforms, as well as Arabia and Australia (west of the mountain ranges of its eastern part) entered the southern mainland - Gondwana.

Laurasia was separated from Gondwana by the sea (geosyncline) Tethys (Central Mediterranean, Mesogea), which took place in the Mesozoic era along the Alpine folding zone: in Europe - the Alps, Pyrenees, Andalusian mountains, Apennines, Carpathians, Dinaric mountains, Stara Planina mountains, Caucasus Mountains the mountains; in North Africa - the northern part of the Atlas Mountains; in Asia - the Pontic Mountains and Taurus, the Turkmen-Khorasan Mountains, Elbrus and Zagros, the Suleiman Mountains, the Himalayas, folded chains of Burma, Indonesia, Kamchatka, the Japanese and Philippine Islands; in North America - fold ridges of the Pacific coast of Alaska and California; in South America - the Andes; archipelagos flanking Australia to the east, including the islands of New Guinea and New Zealand. The territory covered by the Alpine folding retains high tectonic activity in the modern era, which is expressed in an intensely dissected relief, high seismicity and continuing volcanic activity in many places. The relics of Pratetis are the modern Mediterranean, Black and Caspian Seas.

Laurasia existed until the middle of the Mesozoic, and its changes consisted in the loss of the territories of North America and the subsequent reformation of Laurasia into Eurasia.

The skeleton of modern Eurasia is spliced \u200b\u200bfrom fragments of several ancient continents. In the center is the Russian continent. In the northwest, it is adjoined by the eastern part of the former Laurencia, which, after the Cenozoic subsidence in the Atlantic Ocean region, separated from North America and formed the European bulge of Eurasia, located west of the Russian platform. In the northeast - Angarida, which in the Late Paleozoic was articulated with the Russian continent by the folded structure of the Urals. In the south, the northeastern parts of the disintegrated Gondwana (Arabian and Indian platforms) joined Eurasia.

The collapse of Gondwana began in the Mesozoic, Gondwana was literally pulled apart piece by piece. By the end of the Cretaceous - beginning of the Paleogene periods, the modern post-Gondwana continents and their parts - South America, Africa (without the Atlas Mountains), Arabia, Australia, Antarctica - were isolated.

Climate

Climatic data on the state of the Earth at that time also reveal to us additional possibilities for knowledge of interest to us.

In the Terminal Riphean (680-570 Ma ago) large areas of Europe and North America were covered by the extensive Lapland glaciation. Glacial deposits of this age are known in the Urals, in the Tien Shan, on the Russian platform (Belarus), in Scandinavia (Norway), in Greenland and the Rocky Mountains.

In the Ordovician period (500-440 million years ago) Australia was located near the South Pole, and northwestern Africa - in the region of the pole itself, which is confirmed by the signs of widespread glaciation imprinted in the Ordovician rocks of Africa.

In the Devonian period (from 410 million to 350 million years ago), the equator was located at an angle of 55 - 65 ° to the modern one and passed approximately through the Caucasus, the Russian platform and southern Scandinavia. The North Pole was located in the Pacific Ocean within 0-30 ° north latitude and 120-150 ° east longitude (in the region of Japan).

Therefore, on the Russian platform, the climate was near-equatorial - dry and hot, distinguished by a wide variety of the organic world. Part of Siberia was occupied by seas, the water temperature of which did not go below 25 ° C. The tropical (humid) belt, at different times of the Devonian period, stretched from the modern West Siberian Plain in the north to the southwestern edge of the Russian platform. Based on the paleomagnetic study of rocks, it was established that throughout most of the Paleozoic and North America was located in the equatorial zone. Fossil organisms and widespread limestones of this time testify to the dominance of warm shallow seas in the Ordovician.

On the contrary, in the territory of Gondwana, the climate was polar. In South Africa (in the Cape Mountains), in the Table Mountain Formation, in the Congo Basin and in southern Brazil, there are glacial formations (tillites) - witnesses of a cold circumpolar climate. Extensive glaciation developed in the Proterozoic and Upper Carboniferous. In South Australia, China, Norway, South Africa, southern Europe, and South America, signs of Ordovician glaciation were found within this belt. Traces of Upper Carboniferous glaciation are known in Central and South Africa, southern South America, India and Australia. Glaciation was established in the Lower Proterozoic of North America, in the Upper Riphean (Riphean - 1650-570 Ma) of Africa and Australia, in the Vendian (680-570 Ma) of Europe, Asia and North America, in the Ordovician of Africa, in the late Carboniferous and early Permian on the mainland of Gondwana. The organic world of this belt was distinguished by its poor composition. In the Carboniferous and Permian periods, a peculiar flora of the temperate and cold zone developed on the Gondwana mainland, which was characterized by an abundance of glossopteris and horsetails.

In the Devonian, the northern (arid - arid) belt covered Angarida (North Asia) and folded structures adjacent to it from the south and east, dominated the continents: Angara, Kazakh, Baltic and North American.

In Colorado (part of the former Lawrence), fragments of the most primitive vertebrates - jawless (ostracoderms) - were found in the Ordovician sandstones.

After the end of the cycle, geosynclinal development can be repeated, but always some part of the geosynclinal regions at the end of the next cycle turns into a young platform. In this regard, during geological history, the area occupied by geosynclines (seas) decreased, while the area of \u200b\u200bplatforms increased. It is the geosynclinal systems that were the site of the formation and further growth of the continental crust with its granite layer.

The periodic nature of vertical movements during a tectonic cycle (predominantly subsidence at the beginning and predominantly uplift at the end of the cycle) each time led to corresponding changes in the surface topography, to a change in transgressions and regressions of the sea. The same periodic movements influenced the nature of the deposited sedimentary rocks, as well as the climate, which experienced periodic changes. Already in the Precambrian, warm epochs were interrupted by glacial ones. In the Paleozoic glaciation, at times, Brazil, South Africa, India and Australia were covered. The last glaciation (in the Northern Hemisphere) was in the Anthropogen.

Fauna

The position of the continents considered above is confirmed by the data of faunistic zoning, according to which the land of the Earth is divided into four faunistic kingdoms: Arktogea, Paleogea, Neogea, Notogea. Antarctic land, inhabited mainly by marine animals, is not included in any of the kingdoms.

Arktogea ("northern land") with the grouping center on the Russian platform also includes the Holarctic, Indo-Malay, Ethiopian regions and occupies Eurasia (excluding Hindustan and Indo-China), North America, North Africa (including the Sahara). The fauna of Arktogea is characterized by a common origin. Only placental mammals live in Arktogea.

Neogea ("new earth", later in time, formed from the decay products of Gondwana) occupies South, Central America from Baja California and the southern part of the Mexican Highlands in the north to 40 ° S latitude. in the south and the islands adjacent to Central America. Placentals are widespread.
Notogea ("southern land") occupies Australia, New Zealand and the islands of Oceania. Prolonged isolation of Notogea has led to the formation of a fauna rich in endemics (isolated species). The number of placental mammals is relatively small: mice, bats, canines.

Paleogea occupies mainly tropical regions of the Eastern Hemisphere. The Paleogea is characterized by groups of animals of the ancient fauna of Gondwana - its Brazilian-African continent: ostriches, lungfish, turtles, as well as proboscis, great apes, carnivores, etc.

Before humans appeared, the world was completely different. Our planet did not always look the way it does now. Over the past 4.5 billion years, it has gone through incredible changes that you never imagined. If you could go back and visit the Earth millions of years ago, you would see an alien planet, as if descended from the pages of fantastic books.

1. Giant mushrooms grew all over the planet

About 400 million years ago, the trees were about the length of a man's waist. All plants were much smaller than the current ones - except for mushrooms. They grew up to 8 m in height, and their stem (or was the trunk already?) Was 1 meter in diameter. They didn't have the big caps that we associate with mushrooms today. Instead, they were just pillars sticking out. But they were all over the place.

2. The sky was orange and the oceans were green

The sky was not always blue. About 3.7 billion years ago, the oceans are believed to be green, the continents are black, and the sky looked like an orange haze. The oceans were green because iron dissolved in seawater, leaving a green rust. The continents were black due to the lack of plants and lava cover. The sky was not blue, as it was mostly methane instead of oxygen.

3. The planet smelled like rotten eggs

Scientists are sure that they know how it once smelled on our planet. And it was the distinct smell of rotten eggs. This is because 2 billion years ago the oceans were filled with gaseous bacteria that feed on salt and release hydrogen sulfide, filling the air with stench.

4. The planet was purple

When the first plants appeared on Earth, they were not green. According to one theory, they would be purple. It is believed that the first life forms on Earth partially absorbed light from the Sun. Modern plants are green because they use chlorophyll to absorb sunlight, but the first plants used retinas - and that gave them a bright violet hue. Purple may have been our color for a long time.

5. The world looked like a snowball

We all know about the ice age. However, there is evidence that one of the ice ages 716 million years ago was very extreme. It is called the "Snowy Earth" period because the Earth may have been so covered in ice that it literally looked like a giant white snowball floating in space.

6. Acid rain has been falling on Earth for 100 thousand years

In the end, the Snowy Land period ended - and in the most horrific way imaginable. Then “intense chemical weathering” began. In other words, acid rain was constantly pouring from the sky - and so on for 100 thousand years. He melted the glaciers covering the planet, sent nutrients into the ocean, and allowed life to begin underwater. Before life began to appear on Earth, the planet was a toxic, inhospitable desert.

7. The Arctic was green and densely populated

About 50 million years ago, the Arctic was a completely different place. It was a time called the early Eocene and the world was very warm. Palm trees grew in Alaska, and crocodiles swam off the coast of Greenland. The Arctic Ocean was likely a giant freshwater body of water teeming with living things.

8. Dust blocked the sun

When an asteroid crashed into Earth 65 million years ago and destroyed the dinosaurs, the chaos did not end. The world has become a dark and terrible place. All dust, soil and rocky rocks rose into the atmosphere and even into space, enveloping the planet in a huge layer of dust. The sun disappeared from the sky. This did not last long, but even when the huge cloud of dust disappeared, sulfuric acid remained in the stratosphere and fell into the clouds. And again it's time for acid rains.

9. It rained from hot liquid magma

However, the previous asteroid was child's play compared to the one that crashed into the planet 4 billion years ago and turned it into a hellish landscape. The oceans on the planet are boiling. The heat from the asteroid impact actually ended with the evaporation of the first oceans on Earth. Huge portions of the Earth's surface have melted. Magnesium oxide rose into the atmosphere and condensed into droplets of hot liquid magma, which fell in the form of rain.

10. Giant insects were everywhere

About 300 million years ago, the planet was completely covered with low-lying swamp forests, and the air was filled with oxygen. 50% more oxygen than today, and this has created an incredible surge in life ... and the emergence of huge and scary insects. For some creatures, the oxygen in the atmosphere was too much. Small insects could not cope with this, so they began to actively increase in size. Scientists have found dragonfly fossils that were the size of a modern seagull. By the way, they were most likely carnivorous predators.
