Archeological mystery, which is probably not destined to be solved Bashny.Net

Our ancestors left behind a great variety of material traces, but not all of them manage to find an explanation. No matter how they fought researchers, some phenomena remained insoluble mysteries.

The Paracas Candelabra

 

Geoglyphs are giant images printed on the surface of the Earth. Probably the most famous of geoglyphs are lines in the Nazca desert (Nazca Lines). However, only two hundred kilometers from the Nazca lines can be seen even more mysterious example of the geoglyph.

The Paracas candelabra (Candelabra of the Andes or giant Trident painted on the surface of the coastal cliffs in the Bay of Pisco, with a size of about 180 meters. Despite the close proximity to the Nazca Lines, this geoglyph is not likely to have been created by the Nazca people. The ancient pottery workshop discovered near relating to the period around 200 BC, indicates that the authorship belongs to the culture of Paracas.

Some signs indicate the religious character of a geoglyph in addition, local residents consider it to be element of the cult of the deity Viracocha, the ancient Creator God. Other sources suggest a more practical purpose of the Trident. The chandelier crashed into the wall of the hill. The angle and huge size means he was visible from a great distance, about 20 kilometers from the coast. This has convinced some researchers that it was used as a kind of beacon for mariners.

Uffington White Horse

Ancient and mysterious objects-the guidelines are a fairly common occurrence in England. In the first place is commonly referred to Stonehenge, but you can give many other examples.

Uffington White Horse, a 115-metre-high figure on the hillside, was created by digging deep trenches filled with crushed chalk. The animal depicted looks like a horse; similar drawings found on coins Dating back to the Bronze Age. Close to the figures discovered burial mounds of the Neolithic period (new stone age). These burial grounds was later repeatedly used in different years until the Saxon period. This has led some researchers to the conclusion that the White Horse is not such an ancient object, as was supposed before.

Two factors distinguish the Uffington White Horse in a series of similar signs and objects. First, the White Horse is much more ancient. Many others discovered figures of horses date from much later years, up to the eighteenth century, so most likely they were created "in honor" of the original. Another factor is the astonishing degree of preservation of the figure. Given the antiquity of origin, the White Horse is in excellent condition, apparently thanks to the efforts of local residents, which contained it in good order.

The Zagreb Linen Book

The Zagreb Linen Book (Liber Linteus) represents the most voluminous text written in the Etruscan language. This language had an enormous influence on the history of civilization because he was the forerunner of the Latin but now it is almost completely gone. Only a few ancient documents on the Etruscan language survived until the present day. A huge array of texts from the Etruscan Linen book still is not deciphered. On the basis of certain characteristics, the book presumably is the ritual calendar, although previously it was believed that this description of the burial rituals

It is amazing that Linen Book preserved for such a long time – its origins date back to third century BC. This "survivability" it is not typical for linen books but Liber Linteus – not an ordinary book. She survived only because it was used in other unusual purposes: the book was cut up into individual pages by the ancient Egyptians and used to wrap mummies.

This was the reason for the beautiful sound of the book, but also led to the inability to examine it for a very long time. After the discovery of the majority of experts initially thought the Egyptian origin texts.

Rock Of The White Shaman

Ancient cultures of America is still fraught with many secrets and one of the ways to approach their solution is the study of rock art. Close to the river Peko Texas Lower Canyon is the oldest and most significant of such figures – the White Shaman. The age of this seven-meter image according to experts is more than four thousand years. It is believed that the White Shaman hides ancient secrets of a vanished cult.

The contents of the Grand figure stands contradictory. Until recently, most archaeologists believed that it depicts five human figures in the battle or a military ritual before battle. However, one of the archaeologists recently came to the conclusion that the picture shows people who communicate with the spirit world with the help of a narcotic substance, mescaline, obtained from the local peyote cactus.

Sajama Lines (Chamskie line) – enormous geoglyphs in Bolivia

Those who were impressed with the Nazca Lines or the Paracas Candelabra, positively have to know about the geoglyphs in the natural Park of Saham in Western Bolivia. It also consists of numerous lines, embedded in the surface of the earth, but the size of all other images seems a dwarf compared to this giant

Suhumskoe image is composed of thousands, maybe even tens of thousands of lines with a width of 1-3 meters in length and up to 18 miles! The picture covers an area of nearly 7500 square meters, about 15 times more than the famous Nazca Lines. Despite the enormous size, this phenomenon is still almost unexplored. Until recently, until the satellite technology, it was not possible, since images of this magnitude can only be studied from a distance.

The line is amazingly accurate geometric straight despite their length, natural obstacles, rugged terrain. So far there are no theories about how to create them, but it is most likely that the drawings were created by the labor of countless generations of vanished prehistoric people.

The purpose Suhumskih lines also remains a mystery. They may have been landmarks for travellers, according to another version associated with ancient burials, is not excluded astronomical purpose.
