Artifacts of ancient civilizations - the enchanting world of the misunderstood
Perhaps, one of the most studied areas of the ancient world, Egyptian, bears the artifacts of an ancient civilization, the technology of obtaining which causes heated debates among historians, archaeologists and enthusiastic researchers. The business card of Egypt is the Great Sphinx in Giza, a statue with the body of a lion and a man's head carved into a sandstone rock. The latest information on the dating of its origin, based on geological and astronomical data, allow us to speak about the average age of the Great Sphinx in 10.5 thousand years. The giant statue, whose appearance still thrills millions of people, was created by an unknown civilization, technology and social structure which for millennia should have outstripped the surrounding era in the modern understanding of historians. The construction of projects of similar scale is a difficult task even for current architects. And if we take into account the anticipated level of technology and knowledge, the social structure of the time, then this task is completely irresolvable. Nevertheless, the Great Sphinx, through the millenniums, carries its unencrypted message to the descendants.
Not all the artifacts of ancient civilizations have such outstanding dimensions. Of particular interest are large-scale models and images of various devices and mechanisms, the very existence of which is surprising. The Colombian model of the golden airplane, the Egyptian model of the glider from the tomb, represents copies of aircraft.
Along with the existence of a large number of real objects from the past, the authenticity of which does not raise doubts among researchers, now and then there are dubious artifacts of ancient civilizations, the study of which reveals their natural, rather than human origin or outright forgery of dishonest people. Why do many continue to search for artifacts of antiquity? We give the first Rule Wizard: "People believe in what they want to believe, or believe because they are afraid of the truth."
