The UnXplained: Shocking Ancient Mysteries Will Blow Your Mind!

Pompeii Italia 79 announcement at approximately 1:00 p.m. On a calm late summer day, this

ancient

Roman city in the shadow of Mount Vvus is shaken by a massive volcanic eruption. Within minutes, superheated gas and lava engulf the city and its surroundings. In an instant, thousands of people are buried alive as a city that was their home suddenly becomes their tomb almost 2,000 years after the eruption Pompeii is a city that remains frozen in time this eruption was what we call an eruption pyroclastic where clouds of ash and debris at hundreds of degrees of heat fell from the mountain like a flash flying everything in its path. path and miraculously the heat of this Cloud was enough to char and preserve instead of destroy all types of information.

We have well-preserved architecture. Wood and organic materials. Food. Human remains. Remains of animals that have been preserved for 2,000 years beneath these volcanic debris today. The excavated ruins of Pompeii offer archaeologists and tourists a stunning look at the

ancient

doomed city. Perhaps the most intriguing discovery found beneath the ashes of the eruption of Mount Vesuvius was an ancient Roman structure located not far from Pompeii, known as La Villa De Papy, the Villa of Piri. It was a luxury Roman villa that was filled with sculptures, marble and bronze. The villa was discovered by chance in 1750 by well diggers who dug a tunnel of about 75 feet through volcanic debris and first found a colored marble floor with a striking pattern composed of bright red and yellow.

Marbles and we believe that this was once the vacation home of a Roman senator, the highest rank of an ancient noble family called Lucius cerus floor, the volcanic ash that buried Villa De papii not only preserved the physical structure, but also buried a library containing more than 1,800 papyrus scrolls. These scrolls are an extraordinary record of the thoughts and writings of people who lived almost 2,000 years ago. Those texts were discovered when the city was excavated and some of the artifacts were found for the first time. The people who discovered them didn't know what they were. Did they think maybe they were pieces of branches or trunks because they were curled up and charred until someone finally realized they were papyrus texts?

The library of Villa de Piri is important because it is the only library from Antiquity that is preserved and scrolls were found with its contents. dating from the 2nd and 1st centuries BC. and from the 1st century. About 300 of them have displayed texts some poetry some literary criticism a little history, but many of the scrolls are so tightly bound and charred that there has been a moratorium on attempts to open them for fear of Damage to the Scrolls has left many of them virtually untouched for more than 100 years, but new technology has presented a potential opportunity to read these mysterious ancient texts, scientists at the University of Kentucky's computer science department have developed a new method known as a virtual unwrapper that uses a sophisticated X-ray machine to scan the Scrolls without damaging them.

The virtual unwrapper we innovated basically allows us to collect a set of 360° views of an object rotating in front of an x. -ray of rays this is a real scroll that is 2000 years old and in the cross section we can see that there is damage, there are parts that are missing sections that are broken now we are using our software for the second step which is to trace these wrappers all the way so we can build a 3D model that allows us to flatten it and then read the text on it and once we're done we get this image on the left which is the final completely unwrapped version. is a quote from democratus, an early greek philosopher and well known for having postulated along with others that materials are made of atoms.

I think it is remarkable that 2,000 years ago Greek philosophers postulated what we now know to be true from science thus far. The team has been able to digitally scan two complete Scrolls and a number of fragments. They hope that in the future technology

will

advance and allow them to reveal even more, but what secrets those 2,000-year-old Scrolls might contain is an exciting possibility that has been considered. What is suggested is that the original letters written by the apostle Pablo de Jesús could have been preserved within the library of the town of Papay. The Villa of the Papayi was settled approximately 40 to 50 years after the death of Jesus, at this time the original apostles are now out doing their missionary work in various parts of the Mediterranean, so it is very likely that the Villa of the Papayi papayi could have a collection of copies of Paul's letters if the letters of the apostle Paul were to circulate and reach the collection, such a discovery would represent the The oldest Christian material we have almost dates back to the time of Christ and the disciples, being able to use These techniques to understand history in an almost forensic way

will

bring surprising things and we will reveal more secrets than we had ever imagined before of the Sea of ​​Aan 1900, just off the coast of the small Greek island of Antia, a group of Greek divers are hunting sponges when they come across the remains of an ancient shipwreck.

What they discovered was the shipwreck of a Roman. She was a merchant ship and it soon became apparent that there was a large amount of archaeological material on board and during the years 1900 to 1902 a large expedition was organized from Greece to extract whatever they could find. There were statues. There were marbles. From what was on this ship, it was clear that this was a ship that had sunk in the classical era. Dozens of priceless artifacts were rescued from the wreckage, including one object that defied explanation: it was the remains of a coral-inlaid wood and bronze box.

That curiously looked like a clock and there were cogwheels inside this bronze. It was obvious from the rest of the things on the shelf that this was from the classical world, but the cogwheels were not known to the classical world and it was then that they realized that this particular piece of bronze was something special, the artifact was sent to the national museum of archeology in Athens. Archaeologists dated it to the 2nd century BC. C. along with the other relics found in the wreck, but they could not determine what function it had. The geared object served for more than 50 years, its purpose remaining a mystery, but in 1951 British physicist Derek John DOA Price began careful examination of the artifact and discovered something surprising: the box contained the workings of a highly sophisticated device.

At that time, the mechanism was in operation. a lot of different pieces, there are seven main fragments labeled A to G and there are another 75 smaller fragments. Derek Des Sol Price renewed his interest in the mechanism and he was able to place the main fragments in their correct position for the first time. The anti-ra mechanism, as it became known, is predominantly made of bronze. It would probably have been in a wooden box originally, possibly with brass plates on the front and the back was about the size of a shoe box. There are basically two main display faces, there is the front face and the back face and probably a handle on the side that you would have turned to make it work.

On the front of the mechanism is something that looks more like a clock face, which would be the best way to describe it in June 1959. Price published his discovery in Scientific American magazine and described the antia mechanism as if it were a computer. ancient greek. This was a spectacular device. It is an analog computer. Does not use digital. Use wheels and gears. This was a device we would not use. We'll see it again for another 2,000 years until the 19th century, but if the Antia mechanism was really an ancient computer, then what was it designed to function well?

In 2005, an international team of researchers known as the Anthera mechanism research project used cutting-edge scanning technology to obtain a detailed 3D image. I imaged the inner workings of the device for the first time and the results were even more remarkable than anyone could have imagined. The X-ray tomography clearly shows what must have been the gear train and also a complete reading of the basic Al, all surviving inscriptions. on the device both inside and out and those inscriptions are an instruction book on what the mechanism is and what it does and it is clear from those inscriptions that the intention was for the mechanism to show the positions of the planets as well as the sun and the moon, the anti-ra mechanism is an astronomical computing device that also visualizes the revolutions in the time periods of the Sun, the moon and the five planets that were visible in ancient times, which are Mercury, Venus, Mars, Jupiter and Saturn, so, through the work of the gear, it imitates the rotation of the Sun and the Moon and the planets shows many different things at any given time where the planets are in the sky where the Moon is in the sky what the phase is of the moon, will there be eclipses this month? and so on, we have done some computer calculations to determine how accurate the device would have been taking into account the shape of the teeth, the inclination of the gears, etc., and the answer is that it shows very accurately the type of behavior of these. things the Greeks were thinking very deeply about the universe how it worked what it means to have a universe that is somehow mechanical that is predictable Lisbon Portugal November 1, 1755 throughout the city a celebration is taking place thousands of Christians gather in churches to celebrate a festival known as All Saints' Day, but then, around 10:00 a.m. m., without warning, a disaster of massive magnitude occurs: an earthquake occurred on the seafloor of the Atlantic Ocean, right along the tectonic plate boundary between Eurasia and Africa, the tremor of this earthquake knocked down approximately 85 % of Lisbon's buildings are even worse.

This earthquake occurred while most people were at mass in church or cathedrals on Allain's Day. Lisbon nights are in all these churches and many of the most important churches in Lisin were destroyed. It was one of the most devastating earthquakes in Europe. seen in centuries, within minutes the massive earthquake reduced buildings across Lisbon to rubble and opened a 16-tonne wide crack in the ground through the city centre. Estimates put the death toll at 50,000 people or around 20% of those in Lisbon. population at the beginning of the 18th century, if you had listed the five great cities of Europe London Paris Rome you could well have included Lisbon in that list, but after 1755 the glory of Lisbon was literally reduced to ashes Lisbon rebuilt but never really achieved the same glory that had in After the horrible earthquake, the residents of Lisbon struggled to understand why this tragedy had occurred in their city.

Many among the Christian population who had only heard of such devastation in the Holy Bible believed that the earthquake was an act of God. Lisbon was dominated by the The Catholic Church is a very religious city, so many theologians began to reflect on the meaning of this event in religious terms because the fact was that this earthquake had hit Lisbon on one of its holiest days, the Feast of All Saints, and had killed tens of thousands of Christians. While they were worshiping, why did God choose this day to cause an earthquake on the people of Lisbon?

This was confrontational for many theologians and they blamed the people of Lisbon, they said you must have been a sinner, the only reason this could have happened to you. is that you were not living according to God's laws, while some people thought that the earthquake was a punishment from God, others focused on taking practical measures to protect themselves against such a calamity in the future. One of those people was the Prime Minister of Portugal, the Marchioness of Pombal in Reconstruction. of Lisbon, the Marquis de Pomel oversaw really critical innovations: the first is to build earthquake-resistant buildings, these are built around wooden frames that can actually sway during an earthquake instead of collapsing, and then he improves the city before it It was these winding medieval streets that people could get. blocked, so the Marquis of Pombal redesigned the city into a grid system, so suddenly you now have very wide straight streets which are ideal for evacuating people and in fact the way he delivered Reconstruction of the city is the first example of modern disaster response in history in which someone actually attempts to provide a rational response to the effects of a natural disaster.

The various reactions to the Lisbon earthquake have been quite common throughout human history for thousands of years, humanity has tried to make sense of it. These violent tremors that often strike without warningheads up, earthquakes have a really unique place in human consciousness because you can't see it coming, it's not like a giant storm, you can see the clouds approaching, see the lightning, hear the thunder, the earthquakes you feel and hear but that happens in the moment you can't run away there is nowhere to hide the problem of earthquakes and how to deal with them dates back to ancient times the first size gauge to measure earthquakes was invented by a scientist named Chang Hang In China, in the first century of the It was Common, this was a beautiful bronze, almost like a barrel, that had dragons around the perimeter with balls in their mouths and below them were a small series of bronze frogs and the way the device worked is the same.

The pendulum inside would swing by hitting a lever in the direction where the earthquake occurred and a ball would fall from the dragon's mouth and land, informing you of the orientation of an earthquake that had occurred and all the advances since then in earthquake detectors. earthquakes, we call them seismometers. There have been variations on that theme. Today, experts understand that earthquakes occur when massive underground rocks known as tectonic plates suddenly collide, causing seismic forces to unleash beneath our feet. Scientists can measure the power of an earthquake and even pinpoint its magnitude. location, but despite everything we have done. we learned I'm still finding it difficult to predict where and when the next earthquake will strike in Wilshire, England.

A Salsbury plane stands as possibly the most iconic ancient structure in the world. Stonehenge was built around 3,100 BC. This enigmatic monument has captured our collective imagination for centuries, but what most people don't realize is that this Stonehenge landscape is also a huge cemetery in the entire area, thousands of ancient skeletons have been recovered. and apparently many of the deceased suffered devastating afflictions. The area around Stonehenge is absolutely rife with people who have suffered all kinds of trauma. From the mundane to some very serious conditions, it's very clear that many of them had physical injuries, broken arms, the whole usual range of things, for example, one of the skeletons of those people on their left, the kneecap is missing, there was some type of trauma the second thing that obviously happens to him is that he has an abscess in his jaw that must have been unbearable in life.

It is easy to assume that so many people buried near Stonehenge suffered numerous ailments because they simply lived in ancient times and did not receive proper medical care but according to archaeologists the truth may be much more intriguing. In 2008 a major discovery was announced about the stone hedge being discovered. a mass of skeletons buried in the region and 50% of these discovered skeletons came from elsewhere, so what does this tell us? They came here for something. Stonehenge may have been used as a healing site, a type of temple for healing. The ancients traveled to Stonehenge to be healed, and if so, what did it make you think? that coming to this mysterious Monument would cure them, some say the answer can be found by examining the stones themselves and more specifically those known as blue stones.

A Stone Henge the outside structure is essentially made of local stones, that's what we often see, but Inside Stonehenge we have these blue Staines which are called Blue Staines because they have a sort of bluish greenish color and they also have white spots inside. We have a number of pieces of evidence that support the idea that these stains were being used for healing, one of which is that we know from scientific studies that these stones come from southwest Wales in what we know as the Prelli Hills, which are about 140 meters away. m, so, in a straight line from Stonehenge, the stones in the Prell Hills must have been considered special in some way because we can trace through folklore the Cs of people who used water in association with the stones to help promote healing, so Stonehenge was a place of healing.

I'm sure we shouldn't compare it to a modern hospital because Medical Science back then had a lot more to do with belief had a lot more to do with faith Stonehenge was about using belief using the power of the blue St as the medium by which medical care was provided as these ancient cultures did. Particularly in Britain they were immersed in the tradition of believing in the power of nature and certainly something as majestic as these Stones would be something that could have an energy that could potentially help them to survive.
