, they are not ghosts, they are aliens despite what the history channel will tell you about aliens. I mean, I don't know if they have anything to do with ghosts, but I certainly would have ruled them out as

mysterious

objects from around the world that were found in circumstances that seem to place them very far outside. of the natural and technological parameters generally accepted by contemporary scientists and historians, perpetually frustrate professionals and amateurs alike, and heated debates often devolve into decades-long disputes over their provenance and authenticity.

Now, without much further ado, let's take a look at five mysterious artifacts that

defy

explanation In late 1929, while cataloging artifacts in the library of Istanbul's Toppaki Palace, German theologian and historian Gustav Deisman made an interesting discovery in a pile of Mundane Items After inspecting a unique scroll, a scroll-like map of gazelle skin, Diceman was surprised to discover that to his eye, it clearly showed the outlines of South America and Antarctica, the latter of which was undiscovered. officially until 1820. Fortunately, he rescued the map from obscurity and it is now named after the 16th century Turkish cartographer who supposedly made it, a man named Ahmed Mohdin Piri. o piri reyes, in addition to his map-making skills, was a high-ranking naval officer and, although the map was not drawn from his personal voyages, he apparently used nearly two dozen original maps made centuries earlier by Greek Arabs and an Italian explorer Some say you may have heard of Christopher Columbus, but if the mysterious map was made in the early 16th century, how could it include Antarctica 300 years before its discovery?

Unlike what happens today, the map shows the coasts of South America and Antarctica joined together near Uruguay, which I mean, or the map is incorrect, all those continents were joined together much more recently than we thought, that is more likely the map, but it strangely shows Antarctica not as an ice sheet but as a land mass, as it might have been more than six thousand years ago. Since its discovery, the map has generated heated controversy among historians, cartographers and all lovers of misplaced artifacts. In fact, professional controversy has dogged him at almost every turn, especially when in the mid-1960s, Professor Charles Habgood of the University of New Hampshire published a book in which he claimed to have found a number of additional anomalies.

First, the map was created using the Mercator projection, a method of cartography that was not discovered by the Flemish cartographers, the Mercator gorillas, until almost a century after Race's death and was not perfected. until the invention of the chronometer in 1760. Furthermore, Habgod suggested that the map had been based on much older sources than originally thought, perhaps dating back to 4000 BC. C., which if true points to an ancient seafaring civilization like Atlantis. Hab could also theorize that in about 9500 BC, the planet underwent a cataclysmic axis shift that shifted Antarctica thousands of miles south, after which it became trapped in ice.

Unfortunately, there is little evidence to support this claim. He also claimed that the interior areas depicted on the map were so precise that those who created it must have been able to see it from above or, put more simply, have been able to fly, it is not surprising that the theory of Atlantis in the air was Too much for most detractors and also for me, it seems a little ridiculous that some claim that the map is a complete hoax, while others suggest that it may be authentic but that its land masses are open to a number of different interpretations. , many of which are less dramatic and more in line with contemporary history and geology.

Either way, the jury is still out on whether the map is legitimate and whether it shows Antarctica at all and will likely continue to spark fierce debate until there is enough evidence to support or discredit the competing theories buried in an enigmatic pyramid near Mt. Past. In China's Ching Hai province, three murky caves contained dozens of fossilized pipes leading to a nearby saltwater lake adding to the mystery. The area is littered with protruding rocks similar to wrinkled pillars commonly found at other archaeological sites and it is unclear whether the pipes and pyramid are natural or artificial, but what is even more interesting are the predominantly iron pipes.

Ranging in size from the diameter of a pin to about 16 inches, they may be nearly 150,000 years old. Research carried out by the Beijing Institute of Geology suggests that they were cast from iron and, if that is the case, the discovery warrants a serious reassessment of what we know. I think we know about human history in 2002 using a technique called thermoluminescence that can determine when pipes were last exposed to intense heat. The findings shattered the theory that humans inhabited the region for only 30,000 years and even then those living in the area were thought to be nomadic and totally incapable of extracting minerals and smelting metals, Chinese state news agency Xinhua says the pipes They are proof that the Chinese civilization was much more advanced than its contemporaries, but other scientists remain convinced that the pipes are not pipes at all, but a natural phenomenon most likely fossilized roots of trees that have been charred over millennia.

Other evidence has corroborated that claim, specifically because in addition to iron they contain significant amounts of plant matter and appear to have tree rings, which pushes me in favor of that, okay. It is known that under certain conditions organic matter such as wood can undergo the process of diagenesis through which it is transformed into solid rock, as it has done in the Petrified Forest National Park in Arizona; However, chemical analysis has turned up other interesting findings such as the fact that almost 10 pipes' material cannot be identified and that some were significantly more radioactive than other geological formations in the area.

Needless to say, these anomalies only added fuel to the fire, although other theories claim that the pipes were fissures left over from ancient floods or were created by iron-rich magma that rose from deep in the Earth's mantle eons ago and that cooled into the various forms we see today. Ironically, similar structures have also been found in Florida and Louisiana and scientists concluded that they were remains of fossilized roots of common pine trees. although I'm sure if Louisiana or Florida had a state news organization they would claim they are magic pipes. Unfortunately, scientists and academics familiar with past pipelines cannot agree on anything like, in most cases, about placing objects.

There seems to be a lot of contradictory evidence supporting wide-ranging and mutually exclusive theories, much to the delight of lovers of the mysterious and inexplicable, and perhaps you are watching this video, the aluminum-iodine wedge, also commonly known as the iodine object o The aluminum-iodine wedge in the United States is regularly cited as one of the most controversial and misunderstood artifacts in the world today. Legend has it that construction workers found this innocuous hunter metal 35 feet, that is, about 11 meters below the shores of the Romanian sea. river in 1973 or 1974 and then mixed with bones from ancient mastodons, distant relatives of modern elephants, the wedge measured about eight inches, 20 centimeters long, five inches, 30 centimeters wide and almost 2.75 inches, 7 centimeters tall and weighed about 5 pounds or 2.3 kilograms and was covered in a thick layer of rust that scientists determined would have taken between 300 and 400 years to form.

They weren't sure what they had found, but were convinced it was man-made based on its precise angular and symmetrical shape that the workers apparently sent over. The object was sent to the Nepocha Archaeological Institute for further inspection. Test results revealed that it was made of a complex alloy composed mainly of aluminum and the findings were confirmed by several other Romanian laboratories and institutions that subsequently analyzed it. The composition of the wedge is 89 aluminum six. percent copper, three percent silicon, two percent zinc and less than one percent cadmium, nickel and cobalt, although the strata in which the wedge was found and its proximity to the bone suggest that it is approximately 11,000 years, major problems arise due to the fact that aluminum was not first isolated until 1825 by Hans Christian Orsted in Denmark.

Additionally, the aluminum smelting process requires heat in excess of 1100 degrees Fahrenheit, or 630 degrees Celsius, and mass production did not begin until the mid-1880s. A fun fact I know from another video right now, Before aluminum was manufactured in this type of mass production, it was so rare that it was more valuable than gold. You know kings and stuff would have aluminum plates because they were just rarer. Therefore, a wide range of theories have been proposed and, unsurprisingly, they range from the relatively mundane to the downright fantastical. Some supernatural-prone explanations suggest that the wedge is a path for the landing gear of an alien spacecraft, it is not, and to substantiate their claim, they point to its similarity to those found on American spacecraft from the mid- to late 20th century. .

I also think they don't know what it means to substantiate. A more likely explanation is that it is little more than a removable bucket tooth from a modern excavator. In fact, other independent metallurgical tests conducted in the 1990s suggest that the wedge's composition closely resembles modern dura aluminum, an aluminum alloy that has been used since the early 20th century in everything from aircraft components to parts. of heavy equipment and, in the condition it was found in, it would likely have rusted much faster. than normal, giving it its exceptionally aged appearance, despite the controversy surrounding it, it is generally accepted that the wedge is man-made, but it is still unclear whether it is an authentic artifact from the outside site, the remains of an alien visitation or just a missing excavator tooth and since it was abruptly removed from public display in 1995 we'll probably never know, but look guys it's just that someone left a part of their excavator there, go find an excavator with a missing tooth on a warm tropical afternoon in 1940 while clearing jungle undergrowth on a banana plantation in Costa Rica's Diquis Delta, employees of the United Fruit Company stumbled upon a series of enormous stone spears that They protruded from the forest floor and seemed to have fallen from the sky.

Some of the partially obscured stone orbs were smaller than volleyballs, while others were diameters. over eight feet (2.4 meters) and were later determined to weigh more than 15 tons, although only a few dozen were discovered immediately. In total, almost 300 spheres were found and all were made from a variety of rock types, including battle limestone and sandstone. Unique artifacts in the jungle weren't exactly breaking news for local workers and fruit company executives, many of the stone spheres were carried away and ended up in the gardens and courtyards of government buildings and in the homes of wealthy foreigners. and Costa Ricans, others so large that they could not Scientists estimate that the stones were carved around 600 AD, but their almost perfectly round shape suggests that they were made with steel tools that, according to current historians, were not used for the first time Unfortunately, in this case, radiocarbon dating will not solve the mystery because it is only able to date the rock, not the era in which it was carved.

In addition, much of the stone used in the construction of the sphere came from the 50 miles of Cory, that is, 80 kilometers. Undoubtedly, the question arises as to whether large rectangular blocks were cut and moved to their present location or whether they were shaped into spheres and then rolled to where they were found. Either way, the logistics and manpower required must have been absolutely staggering. Since its discovery over 80 years ago, the true purpose of the stone sphere has been elusive, but most likely they were made by ceremonial reasons that later did not haveNo practical value, like the statues on Easter Island we know, conspiracy theorists shout in the comments, other theories claim they were aids to navigation or symbols of wealth and status for the highest officials of civilization.

Some evidence suggests that they were originally arranged in patterns with astronomical significance that probably marked important celestial events such as the solstices that could have played important roles in agriculture and in tracking the passage of time, but alas, their builders. They left no written records or oral tales, so it is unlikely that there will ever be a definitive explanation. However, the spears highlight the advanced nature of pre-Columbian societies and, as such, are now listed as a UNESCO World Heritage Site. Where we come from? For those who have ever asked themselves these questions, behold the skull of the star child.

Although the strange story of the skull did not gain international attention until the 20th century, its history dates back approximately 900 years to the living being to which it was attached. He died in northwestern Mexico, about one hundred miles, 160 kilometers southwest of Chihuahua. The tiny elongated, misshapen skull with closely spaced eye sockets, believed to have belonged to a horribly deformed four or five-year-old child, was buried in a tunnel alongside the remains of a normal child. adult woman, but although the child probably died of natural causes, the evidence suggests that the woman committed suicide. Both were supposedly found in 1930 by a teenage girl exploring a mine shaft and although it is not certain what happened to the skull in the intervening years in February 1999 it ended up in the hands of American author and paranormal researcher Lloyd Pie, who claimed to have obtained it. de rey and melanie young of el paso, texas.

From the beginning, pi was convinced that the skull was not only strange but clearly inhuman. him theorizing that he could be an alien human hybrid because of course he did, he's a paranormal investigator, a great starting point and he set out to substantiate or disprove this claim once and for all. I guess he leaned in more. After researching this, he subjected the skull to extensive testing, and some of the results confirmed his suspicions: the skull was much lighter and more durable than typical human skulls, and analysis of dental wear suggested that it belonged to an adult despite its size. small size and, what is more interesting, the inside of the bone contained crimson fibers and residues that could not be identified, which was later confirmed by scientists from the world-famous Stanford research institute.

Furthermore, the inner volume of the star child's skull is only 20 times that of an adult and he completely lacks frontal sinuses, although traditional scientists and skeptics often brand him a conspiracy theorist and a cone-head. the solar system, except that we have since developed the scientific method in the same way pi added that one day it may be definitively proven that our clearly human-centered view of the universe is false, we only have a human-centered view of the universe human because that is where we are seeing it since we are also very aware that we are not the center of the universe or that we are potentially the only conscious species.

No one thinks that at the other end of the spectrum there are a number of scientists from esteemed institutions like Yale. The university and Canada's Legal Dentistry Office have determined that Starchild's skull is in fact that of a human child who likely suffered from a condition called congenital hydrocephalus and that its mitochondrial DNA is consistent with that of offspring of human parents, although in 2003 additional DNA evidence was determined. That the woman buried next to the boy couldn't have been his mother is fine, but that doesn't mean he's suddenly an alien like most mysterious artifacts. The legend of the star child's skull is riddled with unproven theories, contradictory evidence and abundant legends and laws, but that's it.

He said it's a great campfire story and well, I guess to hell with science, so I really hope you found the video interesting. If so, hit the thumbs up button below, don't forget to subscribe and as always, oh if you have a future video suggestion use the comments and as always thanks for watching
