babylon battery
These  astonishing items from 2000 years ago appear to be  electrolytic  batteries! discovered around the area of present day Baghdad
A 14cm high  ceramic  pot , with a lead coated iron rod inside  a copper cylinder insulated with bitumen.
In 1978 a German Egyptologist proved they still work! After filling them with acetic or citric acid they were found to generate 0.5 Volts!  More than enough to "gold plate" small figures.
The most famous of the map "anomalies", this fine example of early cartography shows newly disovered territories stretching far toward the tip of south america
in addition the coasts of south america and africa are in precise latitudinal context. The map also apperars to show the coast of antartica WITHOUT ICE !  as it would have been tens of  thousands of years ago. Such details have only recently been possible with the use of satellite mapping.
The map was captured from spanish a warship, in possession of a sailor who had sailed on 3 of Columbuss
voyages!
oriental south american
Chinese tradition describes an expedition of Buddhist monks led by Hi Shen  setting  of in the 5th century in search of the legendary "fusang" (earthly paradise) , on the other side of the great eastern ocean.
This distinctive oriental featured jade head was dated to 1500 years ago,and appears to have been made by a chinese Olmek artist.
But it was discovered in a tomb.....in  Tenango Mexico !

zeno brothers map
golden aircraft of columbia
or visit
For decades these spectacular gold "aircraft" have astonished archaeologists, found in the Tolima tombs in Columbia they have been dated to 500AD. Comparable Egyptian relics also display features know only to modern aviation , low delta wing, perfectly proportioned vertical tail and a horizontal elevator. Recent wind tunnel tests and scale models prove this would fly!
Is it a model of an ancient aircraft ?
In the 14th century the Zeno brothers of Venice were know to have carried out extensive explorations of the north atlantic including parts of iceland and greenland, The map appears to confirm the extent of their travels.
However, it depicts greenland WITHOUT its icecap! There is NO possible way the brothers could have known its coastline, so this must be a copy of an even earlier map!
Additionally the map appears to be based on polar projection, far beyond the modest capabilities of 14th century cartographers.

Antikythira device
The most significant find giving undisputed evidence of a previously unsuspected ancient knowledge. Found at an ancient shipwreck site just off the Greek island of Antikythra this mysterious object has interlocking cogs and wheels. Obviously this was something extraordinary
and radiograph examinations revealed a precision instrument of immense complexity, and therefore the ability to manufacture such a device.
The shipwreck was dated to 100BC !

just very weird
klerksdorp spheres
easter island
Over the past few decades south african miners have dug up hundreds of these  mysterious metal spheres. 2 distinct types have been found,  one composed of a blueish metal with white flecks the other is hollowed out and filled with a white spongy substance. The globes are made of a fibrous surrounded by a metal that even steel cannot scratch, some are etched with three grooves. It appears that they are so delicately balanced that even with todays technology they would need to be made in zero gravity. Yet are located in sedementary rock some 2.8 billion years old!
Renowned for its magnificent stone statues dating from 100BC., for a moment lets put  aside how they were carved, transported and erected, and instead wonder HOW DID THE SCULPTORS GET THERE ?
Easter island is one of the remotest places on earth, surrounded by thousands of kilometers of unbroken ocean, yet it appears the colonists had no porblem locating this tiny speck. after an immense journey, in boats that at the time were basically a chopped down tree.
A feat that would have been impossible without detailed knowledge of where the island is. How could they know ?
