This pyramid is considered the oldest pyramid in Mesoamerica. Although, strictly speaking, the structure has nothing in common with the geometric figure called a pyramid and it would be better to call it a "stepped truncated cone".

The ancient age is indicated by the lava field that once covered the lower layers of the "pyramid". Though Dmitry Pavlov, based on the character of lava distribution, has expressed doubts that it took place. And in principle, we cannot exclude a variant that builders for some reasons decided to break an older lava layer and put the base of the pyramid below it (though I am inclined to consider such development of events too unlikely).

Overall: a very primitive construction. And there would be nothing interesting if it were not for a few red stones with obviously polished flat even facets.

In Italy, a large-scale archaeological expedition was conducted on Lake Nemi in the early 20th century.

A ship 60 meters long and 20 meters wide was discovered. It had marble columns, floors and statues, and installed ceramic pipes to heat the floors.

Surprisingly, the hull was triple planked with lead in 54 AD. But scientists, as always, are in their repertoire, they said it was a floating temple.

2022-07-16 08:12:57 Electricity in ancient Egypt?

There is no trace of soot from torches and candles in ancient Egyptian temples. At the same time, the dungeons are full of skilful drawings and inscriptions. Herodotus and Pythagoras described underground labyrinths lit by "eternal" lamps without fire.

The Alexandria Lighthouse had floodlights whose light was visible from 60 km away in the fog. Images of powerful incandescent lamps have survived in plenty. The photo shows a painting of the temple in Dendera and a modern reconstruction of an Egyptian lamp.

The paper contains an article by Bill Gates called "Depopulation through Compulsory Vaccination. Gates thinks it would be the most "environmentally friendly solution."

No one gave it much thought at the time.

2022-07-13 21:49:01 In the pyramid of Cheops the researchers found a hole at a height of 2 meters, inside of which everything was covered with shells. It is unlikely that builders used a defective block for construction. The shells could have appeared if the base of the pyramid was in the water.

Approximately 10'000 years ago, due to melting of the glaciers, the sea level rose by 70 meters, flooding, among other things, the land of Egypt. Also the Sphinx has traces of water erosion on it, and if so, what is the real age of the pyramids?

2022-07-13 21:48:53 A jaguar or dragon figurine may indicate that wheels were still used in the pre-Columbian era

The figure was found in Panama in 1940. Its age is more than 1,000 years. Note the fine workmanship. It is impossible to make such small parts without precise tools. Especially the gears on the tail.

Modern science believes that pre-Columbian civilizations did not use the wheel. But on the figurine of the dragon there are gears, which gives the right to life to the hypothesis of an advanced civilization.
