Five Mysterious Artefacts, page 1

Occasionally, archaeologists come across finds which are "out of time" - that is, they do not fall in line with our current history books.

Hi suzi! very interesting information! I love the The Kingoodie Hammer and the Mexican Dinosaur Statues very cool!
Thankyou for the info!

Regards Guns

what about the Antikythera Mechanism

strange aritfact

Great info, seen something similar before, but for top 10, none of them were in the last one though, except the planes. I liked the hammer/pick in the sandstone 380-400 myo?!

Something similar here, Ed Conrad, found humanoid bone, teeth and soft organs petrified into rock and coal. Concludes that Human(oid)s must have existed 280 million years ago.

Includes alot of haste with the smithsonian institue.

There are a few more that I have found from different people, claiming to have found bone (femur I think it was) in a rock quarry wall aswell as some other teeth, I'll look them up.

Can we not bask in possibilities this may present? why does it have to be debunked or for that matter, even a plausible explanation?

Hello, Lethil -- yes, these have been discussed here on ATS many a time, and old-timers can sort of "recite the chorus" with me.

#1 - there are thousands of these in the museums of Costa Rica and Nicaragua. I've seen them in the museums. Native people (who created them) and archaeologists say that these are stylized birds and insects. That answer is right in line with the type of art they make, and these "airplanes" are selected pieces with the photo taken from one angle that makes them look more like airplanes.

#2 - Hoax by a Russian. They're lightbulb parts: www.abovetopsecret.com...

#3 - Piri Reis is genuine, but the "information from the Imperial Library of Constantinople from information he found which dated back to 4000 BC" is a misstatement. He got it from the Imperial Library, yes. Some of the manuscript copies are of things created in 400 BC (not 4,000 BC). Partly based on one of Christopher Columbus' maps:
en.wikipedia.org...

#4 - ...a real giggle. I work in a museum paleontology lab, and can say beyond a shadow of a doubt that the statement " (all of varied but known dinosaur species) " is hysterically funny and just plain wrong. They DO look like cartoon drawings of dinosaurs, but no dino ever looked like those!

Hoax.

#5 - real. Modern (1800's) concretion (www.priweb.org...) In places like caves, these can form very fast... just visit any local show cave and you can see things like bats that have died and are quickly being surrounded by stone (there's one at Cave Without a Name that died in the 1980's on top of a stalagmite and it's almost completly wrapped in stone.

Thank you for the link to that site. It looks quite interesting. I think the maps are compelling since who knew what Antarctica looked like without its ice sheets?

Well, we know, and it doesn't look like what's shown on the Piri Reis map.

I have to say I agree with you on all but point 1. I thought these artifacts were ancient? Or at least, pre-airplane, anyway, how could we have spoken to the makers if so?

Also, if those are "birds" they are either terrible artists or very, very abstract.

Well, the hammer isnt that big of a shock, as they have recently discovered that neanderthal man was quite adept at using tools (and actually had a more advanced brain than modern day humans)

Here is a massive collection of random archaeological finds for anyone interested.
