Out of Place Artifacts (Ooparts)

[Mitochondrial Eve]

My absolute favourite thread on the old forum was the Ooparts thread but unfortunately I cannot currently link to it. So let's start again.

 

For those not familiar with Ooparts, they are artifacts of historical, archealogical and paleontological significance found in an unusual context which call into question the conventional historical narrative.

 

Denisova Cave, Siberia

 

Graham Hancock has written about the Denisova Cave discoveries in his book 'America Before'. It has been occupied by various species of humans for at least 280,000 years, including occupation by Neanderthals up to about 50,000 years ago.

 

In 2010, a new species of human was discovered at Denisova within strata dated 30,000 to 50,000 years ago. This new exciting species has been dubbed the Denisovans. Further analysis has concluded that the Denisovans were present at the cave at least as early as 170,000 years ago and that they returned 110,000 years ago and again 50,000 years ago. They overlapped with our ancestors and Neanderthals and are now known to have interbred with anatomically modern humans.

 

Artifacts were also found buried within the same layer (Level 11) which included a beautiful dark green chloritolite bracelet which was "manufactured with the help of various technical methods of stone working including those that are considered non-typical for the Paleolithic period... The bracelet demonstrates a high level of technological skills" (Derevianko, Shunkov, and Volkov, "A Paleolithic Bracelet from Denisova Cave"). The bracelet included a hole that had been drilled close to one of the edges which could only have been produced by a stable drill with considerable speed - technology which would not be seen again until the Neolithic many thousands of years later.

 

 

The bracelet, which also conveys artistic sensibility, is the work of the Denisovans and demonstrates that they had advanced manufacturing techniques which were many thousands of years ahead of our own species. It has been dated to roughly 50,000 years ago making it approximately 40,000 years ahead of its time. It has even been thought by some to be as old as 65,000 to 70,000 years.

 

In the lower part of Level 11, an exquisite bone needle was found in strata dated to 50,000 years ago, which is the limit of radiocarbon dating, and is considered the oldest needle in the world.

 

 

It measures 7.6 centimetres in length and has a drilled near microscopic eye measuring less than 1 millimeter.

The finds rewrite history and show Denisovans to have been more advanced than Homo /Sapiens or Neanderthals.

I am sure that @Messenger would agree that you can't have an Ooparts thread without the wonderful Klaus Dona.

Recently read an extraordinary anthology, edited by  Graham Hancock called The Divine Spark: Psychedelics, Consciousness, and the Birth of Civilization. 

 

Excellent read. I don’t know if you have read it - if you haven’t, well worth a read.

Stolenhistory.org has some great threads almost dedicated to these types of topics.

 

I enjoy lurking their as the information shared  is way beyond my level of research at this time.

Paleolithic Neanderthal Skull with a Bullet Wound

 

In 1922 in modern day Zimbabwe, a Neanderthal skull was found which has been dated to 38,000 years ago. The skull now resides in the Natural History Museum in London.

 

On the left side of the cranium is a perfectly round hole. The damage could not have been made by a spear, arrow or other low velocity sharp implement which would cause hairline fractures to radiate out which are not present in this case. In the absence of such radial fractures, experts have concluded that the hole must have been caused by something of a much greater velocity.

 

The right side of the cranium has been "blown away" from the inside out which is also further evidence of a high speed projectile having caused the damage. The cranial damage has been examined by forensic experts and who have concluded that only a bullet, purposefully fired with intent to kill, could have been the cause.

 

Either the skull is not as old as is thought, or it is evidence of ancient technology which upsets the mainstream historical narrative. The skull was excavated from lead rock of a depth of 60 feet which appears to make the latter explanation more plausible.

WOW! It just goes to show how the ancient ones were more up to date with their high tech than we thought.

This video gives a run down of some of the more well-known Ooparts which still defy mainstream scientific and historical explanation.

• The 300,000 year old nanostructures (2:18) - coils, spirals and shafts with artificial technological origin.
• South African metallic spheres (4:23), resembling Saturn's moon Mimas, estimated to be 2-3 billion years old and embedded with tiny white fibres of nickel steel alloy which does not occur naturally.
• Giant skeletons (6:00) including a specimen with a double row of teeth discovered surrounded by numerous axes and other artifacts.
• Giant's finger from Egypt (7:56) - 38cm mummified humanoid finger with a certificate of authenticity and x-ray image.
• Dropa discs (9:01) - discovered in graves with very short humanoid beings only 3 feet tall with abnormally large skulls. The discs contain lines of characters written in an unknown language allegedly containing a story of extra-terrestrials, called the dropa, crashing to earth. The stones have now disappeared.
• 300 million year old screw (11.53) found with the iron atoms of the screw fused with the silicon atoms of the rock suggesting that the screw is no a recent addition to the rock.
• 6 million year old human footprints (12:58) - fossilised footprints (29 in total) made by someone walking upright on 2 legs. Reminiscent of the Laetoli footprints dated to 3.6 million years ago.
• 400 million year old machine (14:44) - a strange fossil showing what appears to be a machine with gears made up of hundreds of tooth cylinders.
• The Dorchester pot (15:46) is intricate, beautifully crafted and made entirely of zinc decorated with silver inlay but was found in rock dated by geologists to 570 - 593 million years ago. The plant species depicted on the pot are said to have disappeared thousands of years ago.
• Stone spheres of Costa Rica (18:00) - 3,000 perfectly carved stone spheres weighing up to 16 tons.
• The Antikythera Mechanism (18:17) is considered the first computer in the history of mankind and has ancient origins.
• The Fuente Magna bowl (18:40) is of ancient Sumerian origins but was discovered in Bolivia, South America when, according to mainstream history, there should have been no connection between the different parts of the world.
• Egyptian artifacts discovered in the Grand Canyon (18:51) along with mummified bodies.

Gobekli Tepi was foretold by Graham Hancock when he long ago insisted that the Sphinx is much much older than the Pyramids. 

By his estimations both were built around the same time..

certainly the existence of advanced stone working and construction not that far from egypt, dating back to an older period does open the door to the possibility that a civilisation capable of making the sphinx existed at an earlier time

The Underwater City of Cuba

https://mysteriesrunsolved.com/2020/05/underwater-city-of-cuba.html

 

In 2001, whilst searching for sunken treasure-laden ships from the Spanish colonial era, marine engineers working for a company called Advanced Digital Communication (ADC) stumbled upon ancient sunken structures on the sea bed off the western coast of Cuba. They were using advanced sonar equipment to survey the area and discovered symmetrical and geometrical stone shapes at depths of 2,000 to 2,460 feet.

 

 

Underwater robots were then sent to capture better images of the structures some of which are pyramidal measuring approximately 8 feet in height and 10 feet in width. The site resembles an urban complex with rectangular building and roads of a non-natural design.

 

 

Most other sunken urban complexes have been found at depths of less than 400 feet below sea level. But, at such a depth, it is thought that with rising sea levels, the site would have taken roughly 50,000 years to sink to such depths - either that, or some colossal tectonic event took place. But apparently the tectonic event theory has not stood up to scrutiny and it seems even less likely that the structures were erected underwater.

 

An alternative explanation is that perhaps the Caribbean Basin was isolated from the Atlantic ocean, was dry and inhabitable and with a vibrant and flourishing civilisation. But this theory remains unproven.

https://www.ancient-origins.net/opinion-guest-authors/exceptional-cuban-underwater-city-prehistoric-ramifications-its-origins-part-020753

 

The structures are out of time and out of place and provide possible evidence that advanced ancient civilisations did exist on Earth long ago at odds with what the mainstream narrative suggests.

This isn't a 'oopart' but atleast I bump the topic

 

This subject always reminds me of this image

This reminds me of these megalithic stelae in Ethiopia.

In 2019 after Storm Hannah, the remains of a petrified forest became visible on a Welsh beach.

See: https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-wales-48407795

 

Of course, the BBC throws in the 'climate change' narrative, but to me while this is evidence that sea levels were much lower in the past, it also points to some cataclysm in the past which caused the ancient 'flood', or earth crustal changes which caused some landmasses to sink and others to rise.

 

Storms in 2020 revealed more petrified trees further down the Cardigan Bay coastline.
