The most interesting mysteries of the history Bashny.Net

Historians and anthropologists around the world a couple of dozen centuries (starting from ancient Greece) are struggling with the unraveling of some Thai origin of man.
With each new discovery of these puzzles historians is not decreasing, on the contrary, all the more confused.

Not so long ago one of the most popular periodicals conducted a survey among its readers, asking them to choose the most interesting and mysterious archaeological finds or memo.

Here are the results:





7. Seventh place belongs to Egypt - including the pyramids and of course, the Sphinx. It is believed that the Sphinx is the oldest element of the Giza plateau - it, it is estimated that no less than four and a half thousand years. Until now, historians are struggling with the mystery of creation of the Sphinx - the most interesting thing is that the pyramids archaeologists interested even slightly less than this colossus.
Scientists are scratching their heads in the debate about the possible origin of the Sphinx - some say that it was built along with the pyramids, others believe that it is much more years than the pyramids. Most likely, at first it was a lion, not only the body but also the "face", which is then converted to the Egyptians face of one of the Pharaohs.

Few people know that a recent analysis of the rocks of the Sphinx showed that on its sides there are traces of water erosion, that is quite possible that this "sculpture" was created long before the onset of the dry period in Egypt. A growing number of archaeologists attached to the view that the Sphinx about 11 thousand years! Buvaev and Graham Hancock, archeologists believe that about the same numbers, and the Great Pyramid, which is just a few thousand years later was used by the Egyptians for the burial there of his Pharaoh.

If one of the Sphinx and the pyramids really so old, the question arises - who created them? And most importantly, why?



6. The mysterious "patterns" in the desert of Nazca were discovered not so long ago, and immediately after they become interested obaruzheniya a large number of scientists. Still - the plateau length of 37 kilometers and a width of 1 kilometer was not clear who carved the huge figures that are only visible from the air and from a considerable height. All lines are exceptionally smooth, and so far it is unclear how and for what purpose they were carved.



5. Atlantis. Despite the fact that the problem of Atlantis is in the survey is only in fifth place, it is probably the most popular puzzle in the disclosure of which is followed by explanations were transferred thousands and thousands of tons of paper. Atlantis must have heard everything, so we will not dwell on this matter. It would be of course, find out where she is, if such a state ever existed, but so far scientists can not say anything definite.



4. Mayan Calendar

Mayan Calendar is decrypted, and the main mystery lies in the fact that the calendar is designed for thousands of years, but that "the validity of" the calendar ends on December 21 2012. What does that mean? The war, cataclysm, alien invasion? Or after a new era? Unclear. Well, the wait is very little.



3. The Mummy from the "Spirits Cave»

In 1940, a pair of archeologists, Sydney and George Wheeler, found the mummy in the "Cave of the Spirits." This is about thirteen miles east of Fallon, Nevada. Unfortunately, not all the mummified body, only the head and the right shoulder, but it was enough to recreate the appearance of the man. By the way, at the same time remains were dated to 500 BC However, in 1994, it was another major examination, and found that the mummy is not two thousand years and more than 9000!

By the way, the supposed appearance was restored, however determine the identity of this person or to that particular race and could not. Scientists have just realized that the old man had a lot to do with the current inhabitants of the Caucasus. However, apart from this, it can also be called a relative of one of the ethnic groups in Japan.

In short, the situation can be summarized as follows:
"It is clear that nothing is clear."



2. The sunken city in Cuban waters

In May 2001, an interesting discovery was made by a group of researchers in the coastal waters of Cuba. Scientists have found at a depth of 1400 meters the ruins of the sunken city. In 2003, specially built for the occasion deep submarine plunged into that scientists could actually see what was hitherto hidden under the water. In general, what the scientists saw clearly created by human hands. Some believe that the results could well be the ruins of the ancient city center. However, most inclined to think that to say that it is too early.



1. Ruins in the coastal waters of Japan

And again, like a mystery - the southern coast of the island of Okinawa, at a depth of 6 to 30 meters lie the ruins of yet another, even more mysterious than the Cuban. They opened their chance - and the discovery was made in the usual diver who do not have any special archaeological training. He said the discovery of the scientists, and now the whole archaeological fraternity is trying to decide what it is and who it is built. Clearly, if this is indeed the sunken city, the city is truly gigantic.
