Many ancient civilizations that once existed on our land participated in various warriors
and battles. This is evidenced by weapons discovered by archaeologists and records
in ancient papyruses, rock paintings, etc. However, not all civilizations were hostile,
some were peaceful and did not even hear about the war. I will tell you about one of these
civilizations in this video! And I will also tell you about the secret of jade humanoids,
show you an amazing reservoir one and a half thousand years old, the longest sword of the
7th century, and something else. Stay with us! Hi Friend. You are on the KirTop channel.
Kailash Temple In fact,
the Kailash temple is a piece of rock, from which everything superfluous was skillfully chopped off,
but how skillfully they did it. Construction was carried out from top to bottom,
and there was no need for scaffolding. Initially, three trenches were cut in
the rock in the form of the letter “P”, and the rock was systematically extracted. As a result,
more than 200,000 tons of stone were removed from the makeshift quarry.
The construction of Kailash lasted more than 150 years, more than 7,000 people participated
in the process of its construction. The building occupies an area twice the area of the Parthenon
in Athens, and almost twice its height. As a result, the built temple ended up in
the center of a courtyard carved into the rock, 58 meters long and 51 meters wide.
The length of the Kailash temple itself is 55 meters, the width is 36 meters, and the height
is 33 meters, the area occupied by the surface is approximately 2,000 square meters. m.
Civilization that did not know war
During aerial photography of the northern central Peruvian coast, scientists saw mounds
that stood out among the sands and had regular shapes. Wasting no time, they decided to explore
this area, and not in vain as it turned out. During excavations, they discovered the ruins
of an ancient city in which a civilization unknown to science lived (at that time).
During further research, scientists found out that this is the city of Karal, more than 3500
years old. We also managed to find out that the civilization that lived in this city
called itself Norte Chico, and as it turned out a little later, it belonged to the late archaic
period, and was before the ceramic culture. In general, it was a unique civilization,
because according to the concepts of scientists, if a civilization does not have ceramics,
then it means that this civilization could not build cities. But the people of Norte Chico,
as it turned out, did very well without ceramics. Everything they needed was made from natural
materials, such as spoons made of wood, plates made from gourds, and large dishes made from
stones. Houses were built from processed stone. The writing of the Karali people was unusual,
these are not hieroglyphs and symbols familiar to us, but knotted letters - quipu. They wrote
down all their knowledge in the hope that one day their descendants would be able to read it,
but alas. This civilization disappeared a long time ago, and with it those who
could read knot letters disappeared, not having had time to pass on their skills
in reading this letter to their descendants. The Karali people used irrigation canals to
grow their crops. And due to the fact that they were filled with the melt waters of the Andes,
this allowed them to grow crops without problems even during a dry climate. They grew
mainly beans, potatoes, corn and even cotton. And the fact that this civilization turned out
to be the most peaceful of all ever discovered is evidenced by the fact that during the excavations,
archaeologists could not find a single weapon, even a hint.
But scientists are most interested in where exactly the Karali came from and
why they disappeared without a trace. They hope to find answers as they explore the city further.
Reservoir 1500 years old
More than one generation of people continues to admire the skills of the ancient builders
and the miracle of their engineering, take at least the same pyramids in Egypt. Istanbul,
as the successor of Constantinople, is filled with historical artifacts, among which ancient
reservoirs were of particular interest to me. Just imagine an ancient city without the
current plumbing and sewerage, but with an abundance of military and siege activities.
The siege in antiquity always bore fruit for patient conquerors,
but in Constantinople this issue was resolved through a system of reservoirs and aqueducts.
The most famous reservoir in Istanbul is the Basilica Cistern. But it is far from the only one,
the number of cisterns discovered in Istanbul (translated from Greek
as “reservoir”) is approaching fifty. In addition to sieges, ancient people
depended on grown food, and accordingly, drought was also one of the worst enemies. Such huge
reservoirs of water made it possible to fight with it, for example, the Basilica cistern could hold
up to hundreds of thousands of tons of water. Internally, the vault is a huge palace with
columns that were brought from different places. At the foot of two columns you
can find the heads of Medusa Gorgon, one of which lies upside down and the other sideways.
Chand Baori Well The step well is located
away from the tourist routes. Its depth is 30 meters, in the well there are approximately
3,500 stairs made of ideal rectangular blocks. Earthquake resistant. Built in the IX century.
According to local legend, "white spirits" created it in one day.
There are no quarries or traces of construction. Official purpose: collection of groundwater.
And now the questions that immediately arise when looking at this majestic structure:
stairs without railings, if people dragged water there, as the official story says,
they would risk death. In addition, water tends to stagnate and becomes hazardous to health. The
structure resembles a mine launcher. The standard depth of modern missile silos is 30 meters.
Roman commemorative and battle masks About 2,000 years ago, noble Roman families
stuffed their wardrobes with wax masks of their male ancestors so that during funeral processions,
actors could fill in the missing links in the genealogical chain.
Scholars know about this strange custom from ancient sources, such as the Greek
historian Polybius, although no such mask has survived. A deep reaction gave rise to the idea
that the Romans could have had a very strong emotional attachment to these ancestral masks,
which were cast during the life of these people. These masks, called imagines maiorum (pictures
of ancestors), were made from beeswax, which may have been an expensive and rare material
if it came from special, distant sources. Wax in its properties resembles a living body
and in a sense can serve as its replacement. A similar custom existed in Siberia among the
Khanty, and in Russia, where masks were put on at Maslenitsa (Kalendy), arranging processions. It is
obvious that these are closely related customs. Among the finds of ancient Roman weapons,
helmets with anthropomorphic masks found by archaeologists constitute a large group.
Disputes about their appointment have been going on for a long time. This discussion
was opened by the founder of Roman military archeology, L. Lindenschmit, who considered
them combat. The opposite point of view was held by his opponent in this matter, O. Benndorf,
who attributed them to part of the grave goods. The truth is most likely in the middle. But
the religious component here is the main one. A masked warrior became like a god,
with a face sparkling divine in the sun, and most likely, this custom is connected with this.
The longest sword of the 7th century In 1971, at the so-called Subotov settlement,
found no later than the 9th century BC, and excavations of which have been carried
out since the 1950s of the 20th century, a treasure trove of objects was found, which
scientists date back to the 7th-6th centuries BC. This time, archaeologists were very lucky:
among the items found in the treasure was a bimetallic sword, which was immediately
listed by specialists as unique. The sword consisted of an iron
blade and a bronze hilt. A well-preserved iron blade had a diamond-shaped section,
its edges ran almost parallel along the entire length of the blade, gradually tapering at the
combat end and forming a point, which, as they would say now, was made in the shape of a spear,
which provided an excellent piercing effect. The bronze handle consisted of a bar-shaped guard,
an oval shank and a mushroom-shaped pommel. At the same time, the winding of the handle was
imitated on the surface of the handle. The combination of an iron blade and
a bronze hilt led to the inclusion of the found sword in the group of
bimetallic weapons that existed over a fairly vast territory and were well known to archaeologists.
Ancient image of a cyclist In the Panchavarnaswami temple,
built 2300 years ago, the traveler and explorer Praveen Mohan discovered an image of a cyclist.
At first, scientists declared the bas-relief a fake during the restoration of 1920,
but studies did not reveal signs of a remake, because the drawing is not carved, it protrudes,
which indicates that it was made during the manufacture and processing of the column.
Unknown city that stood for 5000 years
In France, experts from the National Institute for Preventive Archaeological Research (Inrap), while
carrying out excavations on the banks of the Doux River in the Drak Bourgogne-Franche-Comte commune,
discovered a settlement that arose in the Neolithic era and stood until the Gallo-Roman era.
Large-scale excavations were carried out by order of the state in the Pierre-de-Bresse quarry.
They started in the fall of 2020. The study covered a vast area of 10 hectares.
As a result, archaeologists discovered a previously unknown settlement,
and the found artifacts and burials indicate that people have permanently
lived here for more than five millennia. The oldest finds date back to the Early and
Middle Neolithic (period from 5200 to 3500 BC). In particular, burials of that time period have been
excavated. The dead were placed in the graves in twos, laying them on their side
in a bent position. The study of the discovered remains showed that the bodies of the deceased
were specially prepared for burial. In particular, they were wrapped in something
to give them the desired embryo position. During the excavations, the only tomb of
the Bronze Age (period from 2200 to 1450 BC) was discovered. The skeleton in it also lay on
its side in a bent position. In addition, an Iron Age burial complex (period from 600 to 450 BC) has
been excavated. It consists of two monumental structures surrounded by moats.
In the center was a cremation burial. According to experts, this complex was intended for the elite,
in particular for outstanding warriors. Also, during the excavations, the remains of
various structures were discovered, including artificially created reservoirs and wells,
fragments of adobe buildings, numerous shards of ceramics, details of wooden products,
including stairs, and seeds, which testifies to the conduct of agriculture.
Excavations in the Kyz-Aul necropolis The ancient necropolis of Kyz-Aul is
located on the Kerch Peninsula near the village of Yakovenkovo. This necropolis is famous for
the many monumental stone crypts dating back to the 1st century BC. and 2nd century A.D.
Most of the crypts belong to noble people, the richer the deceased was,
the larger and more elegant his crypt was. Scientists believe that all burials belong
to a representative of one Bosporan kingdom. With the help of volunteers from the "archeology"
fund, scientists have already been able to clear and study about 1,100 square meters of the
necropolis. Several dozen burials were discovered and studied, as well as 5 ancient crypts.
And now the next excavations brought scientists another unique find in the form of an antique
tombstone, on which the image of a rider on a horse has been preserved. The upper part of the
slab was decorated with ornaments, and the lower part, unfortunately, has not been preserved. It is
on the lower part that scientists believe that the epitaph ˈepəˌtaf was located, but, alas əˈlas , it
will no longer be possible to find out this. Also, with the help of volunteers, scientists
were able to cleanse the ancient crypt, in which about 12 buried were found. Inside the crypt next
to them were many objects, such as decorated dishes, a highly oxidized iron sword, a silver
ring depicting a woman, a carnelian gem depicting a dog, and Domitian's silver denarius of 88 AD.
The Secret of the Jade Humanoids
In different countries, archaeologists manage to find ancient artifacts that
amaze with their appearance. Ancient masters were able to create truly magnificent creations,
and from completely different natural materials. For some reason, ancient figurines mostly have
images of unknown creatures and they are made of precious and semi-precious stones. Who exactly
was depicted in these figurines by ancient craftsmen, scientists still cannot understand.
Particular attention is drawn to the figurines, which were made by Hongshan jade masters
more than 6500 years ago. How they managed to process jade so subtly, what tools they used when
turning it, remains a mystery to this day. These figures, or rather their appearance,
has nothing to do with images of fairy-tale characters, gods and other modern creatures.
Then why were they made in the image and likeness. Almost all the figurines are depicted in a sitting
position, their body looks like a human, but their head does not. It has an oblong
shape with several processes having different shapes. Ufologists almost immediately concluded
that the craftsmen who made these figurines met with humanoids and created them in their image.
So similar figures with such images were found all over the world, at a great distance from each
other, so it is very difficult to believe that the masters thought and fantasized the same way.
It is clear that they all had the honor of seeing the aliens and thus decided
to capture their appearance in figurines. Since there is no exact information about
who exactly the masters depicted in figurines, the possibility that the ancients saw aliens
from other worlds cannot be ruled out. Subscribe to the channel if you liked
