When Van Gogh started painting✍️

Vincent van Gogh first picked up a brush when he was in his late thirties, and most of his paintings were painted in the last two years of his life.

I was reminded of Jonathan Swift's "Gulliver's Travels" (upper left picture). It's a funny fairy tale for children, quite famous, and I think most people have heard of it.

Except that it was about 20-25 years ago when I was a kid. Now I see the huge doors, the engravings with the giants, the grand buildings, and it makes me wonder, "Did the author really make this fairy tale up, or was it all real?"

Also in the story there is a line "We thought it best to stick to the old direction, rather than deviate more to the north, as in doing so we could be carried to the northwestern regions of the Great Tataria (!!!) or the Arctic Sea. So, think now...🤔

On the border between Guinea and Mali, a giant sash statue 150 meters high is carved into a granite mountain. The figure, named Dame of Mali, is 1.5 km above the ground, or more precisely, above an abyss.

Geological research has determined the age to be 20,000 years. What Paleolithic civilization had the technology to create statues of such gigantic size and at such a height?🤔

In the writings of Egypt, you can find all sorts of things, such as an analogy with the Indian epic of the vimanas. It turns out that there was a pharaoh to whom the gods gave a flying machine and he flew around the world, crossing the oceans in a few minutes. For the most curious in Egypt, there are even sketches on bas-reliefs💭

I don't even know what fascinates me more - the idea of flying machines thousands of years before our era or the unified folklore of such remote countries.

Building underground cities is the hardest work, double work, requiring a lot of money, people and time. To build such cities to bury corpses is an unthinkable luxury. However, 7 to 8 million people are buried in the Roman catacombs.

Most of all, the mass catacombs and subways in the world are like bomb shelters. But at some point something went wrong, so there were millions of bones in the catacombs under Paris or Rome. Of those who could not escape from this cataclysm📜

Temple of Jupiter in Baalbek City📜

It is noteworthy because it does not fit into the official history. The weight of these columns is about 1,000 tons. Even today, using modern technology, it is difficult to build such a structure. Apparently, the ancient civilizations were not so savage🙃

Progress in 100 years🤔

If you think that buildings have fallen apart due to the passage of time, I would like to disappoint you. In those days, buildings were much stronger and of higher quality. Buildings could and have stood for centuries. They were probably just torn down🙃

Google maps of Antarctica found a road and a bridge📜

One of the researchers of Google Earth maps made a surprising discovery: he found under the melted snow of Antarctica something that remarkably resembles a paved road and a bridge.

According to the conspiracy analyst, this road is about half a mile long, and in one part of this "highway" is clearly visible bridge with an arch. The road and bridge are, of course, half-destroyed by centuries of snow and ice build-up, but fragments are clearly visible.

This picture gave supporters of the theory of the existence of civilizations on Earth, which lived long before our time, the opportunity to argue that life once boiled over on the coldest continent🤔

​Wake up! They are hiding something from the whole world!

Anyone who tries to reveal the "inconvenient" truth of the past ends up sadly…

• 32 people from Hillary Clinton's entourage committed suicide.
• An American journalist who uncovered the origins of COVID-19 has gone missing.
• Everyone who came close to unraveling the terrorist attack on 9.11 was liquidated by an unknown group of people.

All this is a small part of all coincidences. Even more mysterious "accidents" are collected in the COINCIDENCE channel

Moving roads of the 19th century📜

The moving electric sidewalk (street of the future) was presented at exhibitions in 1893 and 1900 in Chicago and Paris. It was 3.5 km long and had 9 stops. Fourteen thousand people could pass on the sidewalk at the same time. The exhibition of 1900 lasted 7 months, and during that time 50 million people were able to ride on the electric road. It was said that such sidewalks would soon be in operation everywhere, but we never got around to it.

I wonder why?🤔

Pyramids in Antarctica📜

There is, as it were, nothing much to write about. It is clear that Antarctica was previously inhabited and there was no snow. This is also confirmed by old maps. Why is there frost there? Perhaps the Earth's poles have shifted, by themselves it is unlikely, more likely due to a catastrophe😬

On the left are the copper mines of Utah, USA, and on the right are the Watkins Mountains in Greenland. Assessing the condition of the Greenland Mountains raises questions about the occurrence of step erosion. Vertical bands appear from melting snow caps or precipitation, but where do the horizontal ones come from? The option of washing out does not work here, rivers among the snow is difficult. Again, "natural formation," as the scientists like to say?🙃

Forbidden archaeology - what is it?📜

In the last 200 years alone, archaeologists and independent specialists have reported finds that contradict official history, but they have all mysteriously disappeared and been ignored.

Of these finds, there is information about skeletons up to 5-6 meters high that were found in the jungles of Asia, but then the information disappeared.

And in general, only from the information, which has reached the public, we can understand that history hides many findings, which in theory could change history, but it does not happen.

Mysterious patterns in the Gobi Desert🖼

Strange patterns were filmed in 2011 by Google Maps satellite in the Gobi Desert in China. For a long time the public puzzled and could not understand what it could be. The first thing that occurred to people that this is the shenanigans of aliens. According to the second version, it was assumed that China was preparing an air strike against the United States and was conducting exercises in the Gobi Desert📜

At the moment 37 pyramids have been discovered in the Crimea. In the early 2000s, Crimean pyramids began to be studied by groups of researchers from different countries. Scans of the area confirmed the presence of pyramidal structures, including those with a truncated shape like the pyramid of Djoser.

In my opinion, many of these pyramids are usual waste heaps (no, scientists want to study rock dumps - let them study them). The most interesting find belongs to 1991 and this pyramid is really worth attention. During the search for underground sources in the process of drilling, a group of scientists V.Goh came across a gypsum concrete slab, and further excavations revealed a pyramid filled with rock on top of it. Judging by the slope, the pyramid must be 45-52m high.

Here I had an involuntary question, what should happen for the grandiose structure to go under the ground? This is not Egypt with its capricious sands, the soil and stones are not carried by the wind. Or is it the cultural layer again?

An 18-story city was found underground in Turkey.

The preserved city could hold 20,000 people, livestock and food supplies. It is a network of kitchens, stables, churches, caves, wells, dwellings, and even schools. It was used as a bunker to protect the locals from Arab-Byzantine wars (possibly) and natural disasters📜

"Extraterrestrial" seal

Found it in a tomb of the ancient Greek city of Pylos. It was created according to preliminary calculations of 1.5 thousand years BC. The seal is a small ring with name drawings that identified the person. The uniqueness of the seal is the microscopic drawings, which are carved very clearly. How they could have been made remains a mystery. After all, there was no such advanced technology in ancient times🤔

Sumerian bags, Olmec bags, Maori bags, Egyptian bags, Indian bags and handbags at Gobekli Tepe, rock art from the Americas and Australia. Members of the archaeological research community were left scratching their heads

Not a bad geography of distribution! Especially if you consider the age of the bags on the Gebekli Tepe reliefs (11,000 years) and similar bags on the Coso petroglyphs, in the United States (from 5-16 thousand years). Birds on long legs are also somewhat similar.

Have you already imagined how the peoples of the Neolithic era exchanged cultural data 10,000 years ago?🤔

An 1892 bipolar Edison fan.

What an artifact! The fan is not powered by the mains, but by direct current. And the current is obtained in a system of several inductor coils with a closed magnetic core. The fan screw is supposed to spin EVERYTHING, and the regulation is set with a golden lever. A neat design, just brilliant!

The very fact of existence of such mechanisms, a little more than a century ago, is just a mockery at the stupidity of modern akademics😡

Model of the Moon at the Museum of Natural History, 1894

Speaking of the moon. Scientists say that the craters on it are from meteorites. But here's the strange thing: they vary in diameter: from small to huge, but the depth plus or minus is the same. It's like there's a metal skeleton inside. It's strange, don't you think?📜

After all, if the meteorite is larger - it means more powerful and the depth of the crater should be several times greater than from small. But look at some of them, the diameter is large, but there is no depth. And why are they all vertical? Where are the stones that went "tangentially"? So many questions🧐

Photo of the city of Santiago (Latin America), 19th century.

And who is this antique girl? Not some kind of goddess? No, how could the Christian Spaniards allow such a pagan bacchanalia in a city they themselves founded? It's just an image of Spain, that's all😁
