The civilizations of the ancient world left after their existence many puzzles and questions, the answers to which people still cannot find. Throughout history, the imagination of mankind has been haunted by the mysterious traces of the
material cultures of the past. The treasures of Babylon and Crete, Hyperborea and Atlantis, Lemuria and Shambhala hide artifacts of ancient civilizations. It is customary to include objects dated to a particular time of creation, but at the corresponding moment in time that fall out of the general concept of the development of the culture to which they must correspond. Artifacts of ancient civilizations have been known to archaeologists since time immemorial. Numerous finds confound researchers who are trying to explain the origin, purpose and technology of obtaining objects of material cultures, based on the standard chronological history of the development of mankind. The timeless nature of objects makes us reconsider traditional views on the culture and way of life of people, raises questions about the origin of knowledge and technology of antiquity.
Sphinx - why and how?
Perhaps one of the most studied areas of the ancient world, Egyptian, contains artifacts of ancient civilization, the technology for which causes heated debate among historians, archaeologists and enthusiastic researchers. Egypt's calling card is the Great Sphinx in Giza, a statue with the body of a lion and the head of a man carved into sandstone rock. Recent information on the dating of its origin, based on geological and astronomical data, allows us to talk about the average age of the Great Sphinx of 10.5 thousand years. The giant statue, whose appearance still leads to awe of millions of people, was created by an unknown civilization, whose technology and social structure would have been millennia ahead of the surrounding era in the modern understanding of historians. The construction of such large-scale projects is not an easy task even for current architects. And if we take into account the expected level of technology and knowledge, the social structure of that time, then this task is generally unsolvable. Nevertheless, the Great Sphinx through the millennia carries its unencrypted message to posterity.
Not all artifacts of ancient civilizations have such outstanding dimensions. Of particular interest are large-scale models and images of various devices and mechanisms, the very existence of which is surprising. The Colombian model of a golden airplane, the Egyptian model of a tomb glider are replicas of aircraft.
It is surprising that an analysis of the geometry of these figures reveals differences with the proportions of flying insects and birds, and the aircraft models created on their basis showed excellent results in flight tests. Whether ancient civilizations owned flight technology is still a mystery.
Along with the existence of a large number of real objects from the past, the authenticity of which is beyond doubt among researchers, the questionable artifacts of ancient civilizations are constantly found, the study of which reveals their natural, and not human, origin or outright fakes of dishonest people. Why do many continue to search for artifacts of antiquity? Here is the first the rule wizard: "People believe in what they want to believe, or believe because they are afraid of the truth."
