The historical period is traditionally opposed to the prehistoric one.
Such a division took shape many centuries ago, in an era when exclusively written
sources were presented as the field of activity of historians. And "prehistoric",
thus, meant the "preliterate" period of human development. Only later did archeology make
adjustments, making it possible to learn much that was unknown to the ancient chroniclers.
Including the fact that the first civilization on the planet arose precisely in the Nile Valley.
But earlier than the Egyptian priests who counted the dynasties of the pharaohs believed. Mysterious
Sanskrit inscriptions, the first civilization on Earth, shipwrecks of different eras in one place
and much more - await you in this video! Hi Friend. You are on the KirTop channel.
Knight's War Spear The Royal Armory of
Great Britain today holds nearly 80,000 samples of weapons, armor and artillery dating from ancient
times to the present day. The rich collection has been replenished with unique exhibits over a long
period of its existence. And from the end of the 16th century, the spear of Charles Brandon, 1st
Duke of Suffolk, was located in one row with them. Charles came from a not-so-noble family,
influenced by a successful choice of side in the civil war (War of the Roses) - the Brandons
fought in the last battle for Henry Tudor (soon Henry VII). Charles himself was distinguished by
a punchy character. Which contributed to his brilliant career at the court of King Henry
VIII (King of England from 1509 to 1547). He received the title of Duke of Suffolk at the
age of 30! Before that, he managed to be a knight in Henry's retinue, even before
the latter's accession to the throne. It is believed that then they became close friends.
Later, Charles even married the monarch's sister. They also participated in tournaments together
and more than once faced in fights, in one of which the 1st Duke of Suffolk almost killed the
king (the incident happened in 1524). With regards to military successes,
Charles Brandon was seen more than once going into battle at the forefront of the British
army. Perhaps he broke more than one spear in the course of impressive knightly strikes
against the enemies of the kingdom. But it was this weapon from the museum in Leeds that,
judging by the preservation, did not see any battles at all.
At the same time, you can't call it tournament either. With a full length of 4.36 m (much
more than the tournament copies), it weighs 8.87 kg (almost 3 times heavier than them).
Mysterious Sanskrit Inscriptions An incredible discovery was recently made in India
that greatly enriched the history of the already vibrant temple. Twenty-one copper plates from the
medieval era were discovered by the authorities of Srisailam at the Mallikarjuna temple in India
and date back to the 16th century and possibly even earlier. The tablets found were reported
to have been written in the subcontinental languages ​​Sanskrit, Kannada and Telugu.
In general, literally over the past few months, many artifacts have been discovered in Shrisailam.
Of the 6 sets of copper plates, 4 sets are written in Sanskrit and Nandi-Nagari script,
and 2 others are in Telugu, but scientists have yet to decipher them.
Moreover, these findings have become the third wave of such discoveries over the past few years.
In October 2020, a brass box was discovered in ancient Ghanta Matam containing 15 British-era
gold coins, 18 silver coins and a gold ring. And 2017 literally became a treasure trove,
bringing, among other important artifacts, 700 grams of gold jewelry, including three
gold qadiyams weighing 525 g, 18 gold coins and four rings. The silver component of the
treasure is 147 silver coins, a silver vessel weighing 395 grams and a glass of 133 grams.
It is worth noting that the Mallikarjuna temple at Srisailam in the southern Indian state of Andhra
Pradesh is dedicated to the deity Shiva, one of the most popular and revered gods of the Hindu
pantheon. He received patronage from royal kings and empires, especially during the Middle Ages.
And some inscriptions indicate that the temple has existed since at least the 2nd century AD.
The first civilization on Earth
The data available to historians indicate that it was the Sumerian civilization that preceded
the rest. The Sumerians came to the fertile lands between the Tigris and Euphrates rivers,
also known as Mesopotamia, at the end of the 4th millennium BC, driving out the Proto-Sumerian
tribes from their homes. The Sumerian civilization had a pronounced agricultural character,
supported by an extensive irrigation system, on which the life of the first city-states of
Mesopotamia depended (Kish, Uruk, Sippar, etc.). The Sumerians are considered the founders of
cuneiform, the earliest form of writing known to science. The most ancient monument of Sumerian
writing is a tablet from the city of Kish, dating from approximately 3500 BC. The system of symbols
depicted on it is a transitional link from pictographic proto-writing to cuneiform writing.
According to the results of archaeological research, the Sumerians had knowledge of the
extraction and smelting of copper, and were also very familiar with the wheel.
Each Sumerian city was an independent state - "nom" - with a leader and patron god. In
such a city, the prototype of the ancient Greek city-states, up to 50-60 thousand people could
live. However, a kind of center was still - it was Nippur, in which the sanctuary of Enlil, the
main deity of the Sumerian pantheon, one of the most ancient religions in the world, was located.
To date, the history of the mysterious civilization of the Sumerians has overgrown
with a huge number of conjectures, but it is known for certain that this people had
knowledge of the heliocentric system of the world, knew about the circle of the zodiac,
possessed the sixagesimal number system (its echoes have come down to us in the dial of the
clock and the division of the year into seasons and months) and kept a historical chronicle.
In the XXIV century BC. the Sumerian civilization was conquered
and absorbed by the Babylonian kingdom. About Atlantis, the civilization mentioned
in Plato's "dialogues", we only know that it existed about 9 thousand years ago, was located
on islands near the Strait of Gibraltar and sank to the bottom of the ocean due to a powerful
earthquake. Most modern scientists agree that Atlantis is nothing more than an invention of
the ancient Greek philosopher, but many researchers still do not give up hope
of finding confirmation of its existence. In the epics of the inhabitants of Tibet,
India and Polynesia, you can find references to an ancient civilization called Lemuria. According
to legends, about 80 thousand years ago, the waters of the Indian Ocean washed the mainland
inhabited by snake-headed protomen. In the middle of the 19th century,
scientists suggested that the island of Madagascar may be part of a sunken continent.
Later studies showed that about 60 million years ago, Madagascar was part of the Hindustan
Peninsula - perhaps there is no mystery, and the notorious Lemuria is part of the Hindustan plate,
previously separated from the Asian continent. Hyperborea is another mysterious northern
continent, whose inhabitants are credited with creating the most ancient Slavic civilization.
An indication of Hyperborea is very often found in ancient Greek mythology, but still the
overwhelming majority of researchers are inclined to the pseudo-historical nature of this location.
Shipwrecks with valuable artifacts Divers managed to find two vessels
at once off the coast of Singapore, on board of which there are still valuable artifacts
dating from the XIV and XVIII centuries. While doing field work off the island of
Pedra Branca, divers accidentally discovered several debris from an
unknown shipwreck. During excavations and raising valuable artifacts to the surface,
underwater archaeologists, 300 meters away, discovered another shipwreck in the holds of which
there were no less valuable items from Chinese ceramics in the form of blue porcelain bowls with
lotus and peony motifs from the Yuan dynasty. According to the researchers, these crashes
are not related to each other and belong to different periods. Moreover, as experts note
on the first ship, the number of Chinese bowls and other items made of valuable ceramics was
more than ever found on any ship in the world. Several items from the discovered pottery are
very rare, and one is unique. The discovered objects are very significant for history,
the value of which is not yet undertaken to determine even experienced experts.
According to the researchers, the discovered figurines are of no less important value
than the same Chinese porcelain. All artifacts discovered and raised to the surface have been
preserved for exhibition at the museum. Which is planned to be done at the end of this year.
Amazing towers of Silustani
Some chulps (this is the name of these cylindrical structures) quite unexpectedly impressed with the
quality of the masonry and the size of the blocks. There are many much simpler ones,
but they are quite possibly a later attempt to repeat perfect forms.
Even more striking was the masonry of the so-called “square chulpa of
the Inca period”. The Incas, perhaps, only hammered it with rubble inside ...
It is also strange that the blocks from this chulpa are scattered at a distance of tens of
meters from it. It is unlikely that the Spaniards, trying to get to the "treasures in the burial",
would have spent such efforts - the blocks would be lying nearby. But then,
what kind of force threw these blocks so far? .. The accepted version: chulps are the graves of
leaders and nobility. It is possible that this is how the Indians used them. But it
is not clear what the Indians were not able to do originally for. The cavity inside
could be filled with rubble at any time. The closest analogy is brick kilns (which
come across nearby on the way to Bolivia). The ovens have a very similar shape and the same
opening at the bottom (for air inlet). However, chulps would be good as smelting furnaces ...
Geoglyphs in India Surely everyone knows about the
geoglyphs of the desert or the Nazca plateau. These are huge drawings of animals and birds,
as well as about 13 thousand lines, stripes and about 700 geometrical figures made on the
surface of the plateau by excavation from 30 to 50 cm deep and up to several hundred meters long.
They can only be seen from a bird's eye view. And until now they were considered
unique. However, in 2018, similar drawings were discovered in India in the state of Maharashtra
and caused quite a stir in the archaeological world. Moreover, it depicts animals characteristic
of Africa, and not at all for India. It is precisely this discovery that casts doubt
on the version of the official history. After all, it was previously stated that the Nazca lines were
made by the local population for irrigating fields. This is the most common version,
although it does not stand up to criticism. Then comes the option that the Nazca complex
was created to solve astrological problems and is an astronomical calendar. But for some reason,
in all assumptions, it is forgotten that the lines are visible only from a great height,
and using a calendar that is not visible from the ground is at least stupid. I doubt that the
ancient people were more stupid than we are. I have no doubt that an older civilization
existed before us, which did not occupy separate continents, but lived all over the globe. Hence,
the same traces left in the form of mysterious buildings with polygonal
masonry, similar in Asia and America. And the geoglyphs of India prove this
once again. Or do you think that different peoples on different continents came up with
one idea - to draw huge drawings, visible only from above? What for? Subscribe to the channel
