Dogū. Dogū (土偶?) Are small humanoid and animal figurines made during the late Jōmon period (14,000–400 BC) of prehistoric Japan.A Dogū come exclusively from the Jōmon period. By the Yayoi period, which followed the Jōmon period, Dogū were no longer made. There are various styles of Dogū, depending on exhumation area and time period.
According to the National Museum of Japanese History, the total number found throughout Japan is approximately 15,000. A number of ancient astronaut theorists, such as Erich von Däniken, have suggested that some Dogū figurines may represent beings in spacesuits;[4][5] however such theories are not considered credible within the mainstream scientific community.
Characteristics[edit] Dogū are constructed of clay and are typically 10 to 30 cm high.[3] Most of the figurines appear to be modeled as female, and have big eyes, small waists, and wide hips.[1] They are considered by many to be representative of goddesses. Shakōki-dogū[edit] The Shakōki-dogū (遮光器土偶?) [edit] Mystery Skulls. The Mystery Skull Skull suturing and baby teeth in a detached piece of maxilla (upper jaw and palate) indicate death around 5 years of age. The face is missing from the upper bridge of the nose to the foramen magnum (the hole where the spine enters the skull), but the cranium and most of both eye orbits (the external parts of the sockets) are intact. This skull's degree of humanity is at issue because several aspects of its morphology defy categorizing as genetic defect (inherited), congenital deformation (birth defect), or inflicted deformity (cranial binding).
The Human Skull A human skull assumed to be Amerindian (an Indian from North or South America) because the rear of its cranium exhibits the flattening that results from being carried in infancy on a cradle board. Tooth wear suggests age at death was around 25 years, plus or minus five. Its smallish size and other reduced points of reference indicate it will likely prove to be female. Binding Brain Volume Weight Symmetry Sutures The Eyes. Siriusly - UFOs - Ancient Artwork. Crop circle. A crop circle is a sizable pattern created by the flattening of a crop such as wheat, barley, rye, maize, or rapeseed. Crop circles are also referred to as crop formations because they are not always circular in shape. The documented cases have substantially increased from the 1970s to current times. In 1991, two hoaxers claimed authorship of many circles throughout England. Twenty-six countries reported approximately 10,000 crop circles in the last third of the 20th century; 90% of those were located in Southern England.
Circles in the United Kingdom are not spread randomly across the landscape, but they appear near roads, areas of medium to dense population, and cultural heritage monuments, such as Stonehenge or Avebury, and always in areas of easy access.[1] Archeological remains can cause cropmarks in the fields in the shapes of circles and squares, but they do not appear overnight, and they are always in the same places every year.
History[edit] Modern crop circles[edit] Weather[edit] Serapis - a genetically engineered Hybrid? A tomb in the Serapeum of Saqqara. Picture by Tatjana Ingold, from the Erich von Daniken archives This article was compiled and written with the help and combination of a chapter in the groundbreaking 1984 book “Eyes of the Sphinx” by Erich von Daniken, the help of Wikipedia-digging and filling in some blanks with logic. The Serapeum in Saqqara A Serapeum is an ancient Egyptian temple dedicated to the Egyptian god Serapis who combined aspects of Osiris and Apis in humanized form. The word “Serapis” is a mixture of the words Osiris and Apis.
One of many such Serapeum lies at the Step Pyramid at Saqqara near Memphis, Egypt and is said to be the burial place of the “Apis Bulls”, creations of the god Ptah. Mariette used explosives to clear rocks blocking the entrance to the catacombs and excavated a tunnel system. The Serapeum consists of numerous long straight underground galleries cut into the rock, with side chambers containing large granite sarcophagi, which weigh up to 70 tons each. Crystal Skulls | Unsolved Mysteries. The mysterious crystal skulls were found in the ancient ruins of Mayan and Aztec civilizations and are believed to be between 5,000 and 36,000 years old. In all, 13 have been discovered around the world. The legend of the 13 crystal skulls has featured in the Nancy Drew Legend of the Crystal Skull and Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull. Some people believe the hold supernatural powers and were carved by aliens and given to a lost civilization of humans. Ancient Mayan legends tell a story of 13 crystal sculls that, when reunited, will save the world from a terrible catastrophe.
The same legend is found among other ancient American civilizations like the Aztecs, the Navajos and the Cherokees. The 13 Crystal Skulls The Mitchell-Hedges skull was examined by Frank Dordland who discovered that the skull had a complicated system of lenses, prisms, and channels, creating unusual optical effects. The skull was then sent to Hewlett-Packard for analysis. Strange Artefacts: Crystal Skulls. Researchers found that the skull had been carved against the natural axis of the crystal. Modern crystal sculptors always take into account the axis, or orientation of the crystal's molecular symmetry, because if they carve "against the grain," the piece is bound to shatter -- even with the use of lasers and other high-tech cutting methods. To compound the strangeness, HP could find no microscopic scratches on the crystal which would indicate it had been carved with metal instruments. Dorland's best hypothesis for the skull's construction is that it was roughly hewn out with diamonds, and then the detail work was meticulously done with a gentle solution of silicon sand and water.
The exhausting job -- assuming it could possibly be done in this way -- would have required man-hours adding up to 300 years to complete. The British Crystal Skull and the Paris Crystal Skull There is a pair of similar skulls known as the British Crystal Skull and the Paris Crystal Skull. ET Skull Who am I? Antikythera mechanism. The Antikythera mechanism (Fragment A – front) The Antikythera mechanism (Fragment A – back) The Antikythera mechanism (/ˌæntɨkɨˈθɪərə/ ANT-i-ki-THEER-ə or /ˌæntɨˈkɪθərə/ ANT-i-KITH-ə-rə) is an ancient analog computer[1][2][3][4] designed to predict astronomical positions and eclipses.
It was recovered in 1900–1901 from the Antikythera wreck, a shipwreck off the Greek island of Antikythera.[5] Although the computer's construction has been attributed to the Greeks and dated to the early 1st century BC, its significance and complexity were not understood until the 1970s when it was analyzed with modern X-ray technology. Technological artifacts approaching its complexity and workmanship did not appear again until the 14th century, when mechanical astronomical clocks began to be built in Western Europe.[6] The mechanism was housed in a wooden box approximately 340 × 180 × 90 mm in size and comprised 30 bronze gears (although more could have been lost).
Origins and discovery[edit] Gearing[edit]
Strange Artifacts, Ancient Flying Machines. Introduction Flight has been the dream of humankind since they watched in awe as birds soared effortlessly through the sky. But, according to accepted history, it wasn't until the 1780s that two Frenchmen achieved lighter-than-air flight when they were lifted into the air in a hot air balloon near Paris. Then powered, heavier-than-air flight became the goal. And although it was theorized that heavier-than-air flight was possible as early as the 13th century, and in the 16th century Leonardo da Vinci designed winged aircraft and a crude kind of helicopter, it wasn't until the Wright brothers made their first successful flights at Kitty Hawk in 1903 that powered flight became a reality.
That's the widely accepted history. Colombia Airplane Models ©1996 Lumir G. This object (shown in sketch) was found in 1898 in a tomb at Saqquara, Egypt and was later dated as having been created near 200 BCE. It was rediscovered by Dr. Precolombian Airplane Models But let's entertain several possibilities. Moai. Moai facing inland at Ahu Tongariki, restored by Chilean archaeologist Claudio Cristino in the 1990s Moai i/ˈmoʊ.aɪ/, or mo‘ai, are monolithic human figures carved by the Rapa Nui people from rock on the Chilean Polynesian island of Easter Island between the years 1250 and 1500.[1] Nearly half are still at Rano Raraku, the main moai quarry, but hundreds were transported from there and set on stone platforms called ahu around the island's perimeter.
Almost all moai have overly large heads three-eighths the size of the whole statue. The moai are chiefly the living faces (aringa ora) of deified ancestors (aringa ora ata tepuna).[2] The statues still gazed inland across their clan lands when Europeans first visited the island, but most were cast down during later conflicts between clans. Description[edit] The moai are monolithic statues, their minimalist style related to forms found throughout Polynesia.

Out-Of-Place Artifacts (OOPArt) Top 10 Bizarre & Controversial Archeological Discoveries. Many strange archeological discoveries have been made in modern history. Hundreds of artifacts have been unearthed that have baffled scientists and challenged modern man’s view of history. Many of these objects have been labeled out of place artifacts or anachronisms. These archeological discoveries are always controversial and the scientific community is extremely selective in what they accept as fact. Every object on this list has been accused of being an elaborate hoax. In many cases, a conspiracy is the only explanation, without an extensive rewriting of the world’s history books. These artifacts tell a story of ancient civilizations, Pre-Columbian trans-oceanic contracts, and mysterious technological advancements. 10.
Discovered: 1944 Attempts have been made to date these figures using Thermoluminescence, or TL dating, and the results suggested a date around 2500 BCE. 9. Discovered: 1938 The alleged story of the Dropa Stones is as follows. The disks were labeled the Dropa Stones. Instanbul Shem RocketShip. Is this a replica (see photo) of an ancient single-seat rocket-ship? That’s what it looks like to Zecharia Sitchin, the leading authority and scholar on the Ancient Astronaut theory. Hidden away in the Istanbul Archaeology Museum in Turkey for a quarter of a century, Sitchin recently convinced the Museum that this artifact may indeed be ancient, and not the modern forgery they concluded it must be, simply because our current view of our ancient history doesn’t include rocket-ships.
In his article in Atlantis Rising Magazine, Issue 15, Sitchin describes this object as, "a sculpted scale model of what, to modern eyes, looks like a cone-nosed rocket-ship… Powered by a cluster of four exhaust engines in the back surrounding a larger exhaust engine, the rocket-ship has room for a sole pilot—actually shown and included in the sculpture. " Sitchin spent years tracking down the artifact, until he located it at the Archaeology Museum in Istanbul.
From "De Goden en de Broederschappen" Dr. Saqqara Bird. The Saqqara artifact. Conventional ideas[edit] Some think the Saqqara Bird may be a ceremonial object because the falcon, the bird after which the Saqqara Bird is modeled, is the form most commonly used to represent several of the most important gods of Egyptian mythology, most notably Horus and Ra Horakhty.
Others have posited it may have been a toy for an elite child, or that it could have functioned as a weather vane. Some have also speculated it may have been used as a sort of boomerang, as such technology was common and well known in ancient Egypt in the form of a throwing stick used for hunting waterfowl.[2] But the most likely hypothesis is that this bird was positioned on the masthead of sacred boats used during the Opet Festival.[3] Reliefs showing those boats are found in the Temple of Khonsu at Karnak and date to the late New Kingdom.[4] Controversial ideas[edit] Attempts to prove the claim[edit] Messiha built a model of the Saqqara Bird to test for its aerodynamic efficiency.
