Chinese mosaic lines
These strange lines are found at coordinates: forty°27’28.56″N, ninety-three°23’34.42″E. There isn’t much information available on these strange, yet beautiful mosaic lines carved in the desert of the Gansu Sheng province in China.
July 1889 finds in Nampa, Idaho, of a small human figure during a well-drilling operation caused intense scientific interest last century. Unmistakably made by human hands, it was found at a depth of 320 feet which would place its age far before the arrival of man in this part of the world.
The first stone calendar
In the Sahara Desert in Egypt lie the oldest known astronomically aligned stones in the world: Naba. Over one thousand years before the creation of Stonehenge, people built a stone circle and other structures on the shoreline of a lake that has long since dried up. Over 6,000 years ago, stone slabs three meters high were dragged over a kilometer to create the site. Shown above is one of the stones that remain. Although at present the western Egyptian desert is dry, this was not the case in the past. There is good evidence that there were several humid periods in the past (when up to 500 mm of rain would fall per year) the most recent one during the last interglacial and early last glaciation periods which stretched between 130,000 and 70,000 years ago.
During this time, the area was a savanna and supported numerous animals such as extinct buffalo and large giraffes, and varieties of antelope, and gazelle. Beginning around the 10th millennium BC, this region of the Nubian Desert began to receive more rainfall, filling a lake. Early people may have been attracted to the region due to the source of water. Archaeological findings may indicate human occupation in the region dating to at least somewhere around the 10th and 8th millennia BC.
In the summer of 1998, Russian scientists who were investigating an area 300 th km southwest of Moscow on the remains of a meteorite, discovered a piece of rock that enclosed an iron screw. Geologists estimate that the age of the rock is 300-320 million years.
This ancient cave painting from Japan is dated more than 5000 BC.
Sliding stones
Even NASA cannot explain it. It’s best to gaze in wonder at the sliding rocks on this dry lake bed in Death Valley National Park. Racetrack Playa is completely flat, 2.5 miles from north to south and 1.25 miles from east to west, and covered with cracked mud.
Teotihuacan, Mexico. Embedded in the walls of this ancient Mexican city are large sheets of mica. The closest place to quarry mica is located in Brazil, thousands of miles away. Mica is now used in technology and energy production, so the question raised is why the builders went to such extremes to incorporate this mineral into the building of their city.
Dog Deaths
Dog suicides at The Overtoun Bridge, near Milton, Dumbarton, Scotland. Built-in 1859, the Overtoun Bridge has become famous for the number of unexplained instances in which dogs have committed suicide by leaping off it.
Fossilized giant
The fossilized Irish giant from 1895 is over twelve feet tall. The giant was discovered during a mining operation in Antrim, Ireland. This picture is courtesy of “the British Strand magazine of December 1895″ Height, twelve foot two inches; girth of chest, six foot 6 inches; length of arms 4 foot 6 inches. There are six toes on the right foot
Scientists continue to explore the ruins of megaliths in the so-called Yucatan Channel near Cuba. They were found many miles along the coast. American archaeologists, who discovered this place, immediately declared that they found Atlantis (not the first time in history, underwater archaeology).
Nevada Indian legend of 12-foot red-haired giants that lived in the area when they arrived. The story has the Native Americans killing off the giants at a cave. Excavations of guano in 1911 turned up this human jaw. Here it is compared to a casting of a normal man’s jawbone.
