Down with the alternatives and their findings

The oldest history of mankind to this day remains, in fact, unexplored territory. In textbooks, the entire period is presented in the form of a fairly clear and consistent picture, formed in accordance with only the only paradigm of the formation and development of mankind prevailing in academic science.

At the present time, a huge amount of archaeological (and not only) facts have accumulated that contradict the historical picture accepted by the majority. Academic science simply ignores both the existence of such artifacts and the presence of hypotheses and theories that run counter to the "official" point of view. Any methods are used: "inconvenient" artifacts are declared "fake"; a “wall of silence” is being erected around them, which actively prevents the dissemination of any information about the very presence of these artifacts.

And sometimes you can hear unconvincing criticism from those who are adherents of academic science. A striking example is the appeal of the editor of the site anthropogenesis.ru Alexander Sokolov (see the video at the bottom of the article).

After watching the video, we can say that Alexander uses 2 techniques that are used by most academics: to go over unwanted artifacts and say that it makes no sense to consider all this "garbage" separately, since scientists adhere to alternative views of ignorance; and also give an example of obvious stupidity (the example of an astronaut) and sum up the rest of the facts. Therefore, we will once again dwell in detail on some "objectionable artifacts", and also consider in more detail the statements of Alexander Sokolov.

So, some of the irrelevant artifacts:

1. Antikythera mechanism

Antikythera mechanism

The Antikythera Mechanism is the oldest and most famous computing mechanism.

Reconstruction of the device showed that it was an astrological calculator, calculations on which were performed using a complex mechanism. On the outside of the device were two discs responsible for the calendar and the signs of the zodiac. By manipulating the disks, it was possible to find out the exact date and study the position of the Zodiac relative to the septener: the Moon, the Sun, Mercury, Venus, Mars, Jupiter and Saturn.

There were also two discs on the back of the mechanism, which helped to calculate lunar phases and predict solar eclipses. The entire device as a whole was also a kind of calculator that could perform addition, subtraction and division operations.

2. Drive Sabu

Disc Sabu

The Sabu Disc is a misplaced artifact found in 1936 by Egyptologist Walter Brian Emery during the excavation of a Sabu official's mastaba in Saqqara, dating from 3100-3000 BC.

Egyptology has not yet been able to explain the unusual shape of the Sabu disk - a plate of this shape is inconvenient for eating, as a lamp or part of a lamp, it is also inapplicable. Academic science claims that the Sabu disk cannot be a model of the wheel - after all, it (according to science) appeared in Egypt only in 1500 BC. e. under the 18th Dynasty, during the Hyksos invasion. The working bodies of modern mixers for chemical processes have similar shapes, but no traces of chemical corrosion were found on the disc.

3. Iron bowler, 312 million years old

In 1912, an iron pot was removed from a 312 million year old lump of coal in Oklahoma.

4. Stainless 16 century iron "Pillar of Indra"

And even if the finds are not so old, but have an age of origin of about 16 centuries, for example, like the "Pillar of Indra", there are many mysteries in their appearance and existence on our planet. The mentioned pillar is one of the mysterious sights of India. The pure iron structure has stood near Delhi in Shimayhalori for 1600 years and does not rust.

You will say that there is no secret if the metal pole is 99.5% iron? Of course, but imagine that not a single metallurgical enterprise of our time, without making special efforts and funds, will now cast a 7.5 meter pillar with a cross section of 48 centimeters and a percentage of iron content 99.5 in the years 376-415, was it possible to do such a thing?

They also, in an incomprehensible way for today's specialists, put inscriptions on the pillar, which tell us that the “Pillar of Indra” was erected during the reign of Chandragupta, on the occasion of the victory over the Asian peoples. This ancient memorial is still a Mecca for people who believe in miraculous healings, as well as a place for constant scientific observations and discussions that do not give a single answer to the question of the essence of the pillar.

5. Mesozoic hammer

In Texas (USA), near the city of London, in 1934, a hammer was found enclosed in a stone that formed around it. The rock surrounding the hammer is said to be over 100 million years old. It is assumed that the hammer was made long before there were people who could make such an item.

6. Pyramids and objects of Ancient Egypt

Since Alexander Sokolov also spoke about the pyramids, we will consider this issue in detail.

Speaking about the pyramids, first of all, it is necessary to touch upon the parameters of the buildings themselves. The height of the Great Pyramid (initially, now somewhat less) is 146, 59 m, the base area (initially) - 53 thousand m2, weight - 6, 3 million tons; the structure consists of 2.5 million limestone blocks with an average weight of 2.5 tons.

That would be enough for 30 Empire State Buildings or a wall across the US back and forth 3 feet high and 1 foot wide.

The sides of the base of the pyramid were verified with amazing accuracy - (initially) 230 m each (the differences between the sides are in tenths and hundredths of a meter).

Nowadays, for a 25-meter wall, a deviation of 10 cm is considered a good achievement; at the Great Pyramid, with a length of 10 times greater, the faces are lined up with an accuracy of about 0.5 cm (!).

Pyramids

With modern construction, the tolerance for building shrinkage is 15 cm per century; the Great Pyramid's shrinkage over thousands of years is estimated at only 4 cm (!).

The accuracy of orientation of the building to the cardinal points is unparalleled in the world: the pyramid is oriented to true north with an error of only 3/60 degrees, and even that deviation was due to the displacement of the earth's crust or the axis of the planet. The shape of the pyramid contains the mathematical function π: the perimeter of the pyramid refers to its height in the same way as the circumference of a circle to its radius (according to the accepted history of science, the number π was discovered by the Babylonians only around 2000 BC).

It has such a large mass that its internal temperature is constant and equal to the average temperature of the Earth - 68 ° Fahrenheit.

The Great Pyramid is located almost exactly on the 30th parallel and exactly in the center of the surface of the Earth's land mass (the only lines of the meridian and parallels, covering the largest part of the land, intersect only in two places - in the ocean and in Giza). The height of the pyramid is equal to the average height of the land above sea level.

Of course, the civilization that built it not only possessed extensive topographic data about the Earth, but also had an extremely complex mathematical

tools for accurate calculations. Official Egyptology cannot explain the meaning of most of the features of the external layout of the pyramid:

almost complete equality of the four sides, orientation in space, etc. The Second Pyramid of Giza is also oriented exactly to the north, and the dimensions of Red and L

The Omani pyramids in Dahshur contain the values 3 π and 3.5 π.

The amazingly accurate parameters of the pyramids are another argument of alternative historians working against the concept of the tomb: no mausoleum requires such a jewelry work with stone on an astronomical scale. These parameters indicate that their exact observance was a necessary condition for the functioning of the pyramids for the purpose for which they were erected.

According to academic Egyptology, the Great Pyramid was built by 10 thousand people in just 20 years (!?). Limestone and granite blocks were moved from

with the help of the muscular power of slaves, and when processing these blocks, exclusively copper tools were used - chisels, drills, saws, because the period of the Old Kingdom in the history of Egypt archaeologists refer to the Copper Age.

According to representatives of alternative Egyptology, these views are absurd. Considering that the Great Pyramid consists of 2.3 million blocks with an average mass of 2.5 tons, it is easy to calculate that the bricklayers would have to install 4 blocks per minute (provided that they worked 10 hours a day for three months a year - the rest of the time

had to go to field work).

As for experimental archeology:

In 1992, the block hypothesis collapsed when the American company NOVA presented the film "This Ancient Pyramid": the construction of a small

pyramids less than 6 m high, supposedly by primitive methods. Later it turned out that only 3-4 single-ton blocks were lifted manually along the mini-ramp for

demonstrations in front of the camera (to the public); the rest was towed and placed in place by a hydraulic shovel loader in front.

The film's science editor filed a scientific fraud complaint with the US Congress, and an experiment was conducted to raise a stone by hand

using blocks and wooden planks to the tiny height of the pyramid, it took 6 hours (!) - very slow and dangerous action to be applied on the scale of the Great Pyramid.

Mr. Sokolov refers to Denis Stokes, who in his book "showed" how he saws granite with a copper saw.

In the book, describing how, according to Stokes, granite sarcophagi were made, there is a photo with a saw inserted into a block (Denys A. Stocks. Experiments in Egyptian Archeology: Stoneworking Technology in Ancient Egypt, Routledge, 2010. p. 171, Figure 6.3).

In this case, the result of cutting the block itself, as well as data on the time spent and material consumption, is absent. You can take a photo with a saw inserted into a stone as much as you like.

You can also find a video on the Internet how Denis Stokes "saws" granite:

The experiment was carried out with a small tile, and worked with a huge saw. Even under such conditions, sand had to be used as an abrasive. At the same time, the speed was very slow. The fact of cutting small tiles does not at all indicate the possibility of building entire complexes, such as the Granite Temple in Giza, where blocks of more than 200 tons were used.

At the same time, Denis Stokes himself says that in order to cut granite, you need a saw that is larger in size than the stone itself. Then what kind of saw was sawing the stone in the photo below:

Sklyarov and Blocks

Modern science claims that the ancient Egyptians could stubbornly perform any tasks monotonously for years. But then the question is why it was impossible to saw (if the Egyptians "could" saw with copper saws) huge blocks into smaller ones for ease of transportation?

In Abydos, upstream of the Nile, there is the construction of Osirion, 30 m long and 20 m wide, made up of the largest blocks in Egypt.

Osirion

The weight of the columns is about 100 tons, and some of them are monoliths. The planes and faces of the columns are perfectly aligned, which cannot be the result of manual

work.

How were stones with curved ends of the same rounded shape processed?

The stones have the same outline

From the calculations of academic Egyptologists, it appears that the entire Giza complex was built in 66 years; even if we assume that the pharaohs began to build pyramids immediately from the moment of accession to the throne and during the entire reign they were doing only this, this is completely unrealistic, given the limited human resources and the lack of advanced science and technology from the point of view of modern Egyptology. As noted by physicist S. N. Pavlova: “If you imagine the amount of work, then Egypt simply could not recruit the required number of workers or feed them. Officially, it is believed that at that time the Egyptians did not even have a wheel, the labor was only manual! And the instruments were copper and primitive. Ah yes Egyptology! …

The above material is enough to show the inconsistency of the criticism of Alexander Sokolov.

The author of this article does not build his own theories regarding the above artifacts - this is the task of scientists. But academic science today is at war with any facts that contradict that very generally accepted paradigm. As a result, the study of such "inconvenient" artifacts is completely deprived of the possibility of using the scientific research base at the disposal of academic science, and is forced to be carried out only by the efforts of individual enthusiasts
