Human technology and productivity have exploded in the past 100 years. However, some mysterious artifacts from ancient times have been found all over the world. Some of them have peculiar shapes that seem to portray the future, and some of them are exquisite and even beyond the present. level! Are they the creations of aliens or the relics of the last round of earth civilization? I am afraid that this question will never be answered. Due to space limitations, Shimmer will share these mysterious ancient artifacts in the next few articles.
1. Antikythera Machinery
In 1901, the fishermen of Antikythera stumbled upon a sinking ship while collecting sponges from the seabed. For more than a year, the divers Hundreds of works of art, jewellery, and life-size marble and bronze statues were found in this shipwreck; in addition, they also found a mysterious bronze object of unknown purpose.
Front of Antikythera Machinery
Due to severe corrosion of seawater, this bronze device was broken into several pieces when it was salvaged, the largest of which was about 30 cm in diameter In the middle of the wheel, there is a cross-like thing spreading out to all sides. There is a square hole in the middle of the cross. There are many small teeth on the edge of the big wheel, and each tooth is carefully processed into an isosceles triangle. These small teeth are so fine that they can only be counted with the help of a magnifying glass. On the same surface, there is also a smaller gear, which seems to be related to the larger gear.

Due to its precise structure, this bronze has aroused widespread interest among scientists and archaeologists , and they continued to develop it. Research and testing, and these studies continue to this day, scientists have not reached a unified view on the function of this peculiar device. Some scholars believe that this is an ancient Egyptian astrolabe used to deduce and observe the starry sky; Think that this device should be a nautical measuring instrument,A large gear drives the movement of other small gears, which is used to indicate the direction of navigation; even more so, it is believed that this is an ancient computer that can even be used to deduce the future.
Now this mysterious ancient installation is preserved in the National Museum of Athens. As for its real purpose, no one can say clearly yet.
2. Map of Pirères
On October 9, 1929, people found an ancient map drawn in 1510 in the Topkapi Palace in Istanbul, Turkey. Signature and date of the author of the map, Pireres. This is an ancient map made of sheepskin. Due to the age, several pieces of it have been lost. The only remaining piece is equivalent to one-third of the original map. The size of this fragment is about 90 cm x 60 cm, and the edges are damaged. . In the remaining parts, the map accurately and reasonably depicts the coastlines of North America, South America, North Africa, and Antarctica, various Atlantic islands including the Azores and Canary Islands, and the mythical Antiri Yashima, and even Japan.
However, the reason why this ancient map is world-famous is not because of these. What makes it shake the world is that this map actually depicts the outline of Antarctica, and even depicts the original appearance of Antarctica, that is, the Antarctic continent not covered by snow and ice_ span29span! You know, the ice-covered snow cover on Antarctica is at least in units of ten thousand years of history. Who has seen the Antarctic landforms ten thousand years ago? There is also a more scary detail: Antarctica is elongated in this map, and this phenomenon will also appear in the photos taken by the lunar probe, which is exactly the shape seen from the sky above the earth.
The Antarctic outline drawn by the Pireres map is very accurate.
Whether the part drawn on the Pireres map is Antarctica is still inconclusive. If you agree with the view that this part of the map is Antarctica that is not covered by ice, then it seems that you must also believe that the prehistoric civilization of , which once had advanced technology, existed.
3. Baghdad battery
Among the many collections of the Iraqi Museum in Baghdad, there is an extremely inconspicuous collection. It is an extremely crude clay pot. It has been tested that it has a history of two thousand years. It was discovered in 1936 by a railway worker in an ancient tomb that was accidentally excavated near Baghdad. Archaeologists speculated that this tomb was a relic from the rest period (approximately 250 BC to 250 AD). Follow this small pottery Also unearthed from the jar are some carved bricks, pottery, glass and metal products.
Baghdad battery
This humble clay pot has attracted the attention of archaeologists because of the things inside: a copper tube closed at one end, an iron rod, and Some asphalt debris. The physicist at the time Walter Winton made a careful study of it, "Put some acid in a copper container, whatever you want, vinegar is fine. Hey, in a blink of an eye, you will have a voltage that can generate voltage and release it. A simple cavity for electric current. Connect several of these cavities in series to form a battery pack. The current emitted is enough to make an electric bell sound, light a light bulb, or drive a small electric car." Baghdad battery became famous at the time.
However, Winton later admitted that there were some unreasonable points. For example, since the battery was built, why couldn't we find the conductive metal wire in the tomb at the same time? How useful was such a weak current at the time? and many more. Until now, there is still no final conclusion on the authenticity of the Baghdad battery, but the one thing most people admit is that this thing is indeed a battery, which was used by Iraqi craftsmen to electroplate jewelry in ancient times.
Due to space limitations, I will share these three magical artifacts with you today. In the next article, Glimmer will bring you UFO gears, Roman dodecahedrons and more magical ancient creations.
