The Chinese investigation did not end there. The Xinmin Weekly reported in 2003 the iron rich material was examined further and found to contain organic material, and all the samples exhibited tree rings. Iron rich sediment washed down during floods had made fossil casts of the trees (similar examples of this include the 'Navajo Pipes' and 'Colorado Cylinders'. The softer inner plant material does not survive leaving pipe like constructs. Quimbaya artifacts are acknowledged to show not just birds but fish, lizards, amphibians and insects. Among the hundreds found about a dozen look *vaguely* like modern planes. The scale models were not exact copies, they took off large curls and features that would have made them unable to fly and added curvature to the wings for lift plus flaps for control. London Hammer, wow this shit again? Concretion like that can occur in a decade or two - no-one I've asked can provide reference for the rock dating (and I can usually find these things myself if they exist). Few real scientists are allowed to examine it as it's owned by creationist Carl Bough, but researcher John Cole and paleontologist George Kuban conclude it is a 19th century miners hammer and no part of the handle has started to turn into coal, this is a later addition to the myth. Nothing to see here....
Thank you for your common sense answer God knows what all the other morons have going on in there heads. I knew without research that the "pipes" would be a natural occurrence.
englasia123 "A creationist fabricating evidence? STOP THE PRESSES!" Often it's not blatant dishonesty, they frequently believe their delusions - that doesn't stop them being mad though!
Nathan Hood englasia123 I'm so happy I've found you both I actually think the world is going crazy and people can't see that there's a logical answer and for some reason look to a crazy irrational answer. I also have a problem with these so called scientists saying that ancient people "could not" have done certain things cause they were primitive to us but really they were a lot smarter than us and more hard working. If you don't have a hammer does that mean you can't drive in a nail? Nope it means you sue other ways to do the best you can.
Diesineveryfilm Customs Hey dude - welcome. A lot of it is what the philosopher Daniel Dennett put's down to 'agency' and if you haven't seen his work I recommend you look this up. People are often totally irrational (it's not their fault) and those like yourself that are trying not to be are a minority "I also have a problem with these so called scientists saying that ancient people "could not" have done certain things cause they were primitive..." Stonehenge? The pyramids?? I feel you man. People want to believe crazy shit, it makes life more exciting for them when if you really understand life it's exciting on it's own merits!
I love how the worker's first thought was to blow up the stone spheres.. "Oh, here is this beautifully carved piece of stone which most likely carries history on it, let's blow it up!" because why not
Well, I know they thought the rock might contain valuable material, Mike mentioned that, but there are better ways to collect those resources, rather than to just blow something up, which is why I find it humorous XD
Sillykat :D There might be gold and jewels in side these rocks, how do we get it? Jeff: "We can drill a hole into it!" Me: "Awesome idea, this is why you are in cha-" Jeff: "AND PUT DINERMITE IN IT TO BLOW IT UP!" Me: *faceplam* "Jeff!...You are no longer in charge, GTFO!"
Those stone spheres have also been found in front of Target Stores as well. They are so perfectly round that there's no way Target Employees could have made them. The dodecahedron balls have been figured out. I saw a program where a woman threaded a piece of yarn into the middle and then wove a glove out of it. Each side and hole are different sizes so when you weave each finger it creates a different length. In the end they pull all the fingers out of the holes and out of the center of the ball and you have a perfect GLOVE with a thumb and four fingers all like you would expect. It is an ingenious device.
We are presuming they treasured it. It is something of value and it was unique. After all, You don't want your slaves taking it home with them after work. You keep your nice silver safe and sound... But you don't likely treasure it. It just has value.
+DamnedUsernameThing Because it was a high-prestige item that upper class ladies probably kept in their sewing kit. It was apparently quite rare because only a couple hundred have been found. Someday people are going to look back on our civilization and wonder why we treasured Apple iPhones too.
I'm Asian, born in America, and I speak fluent English. Do differentiate between Asian immigrants from Asian countries versus those who are raised in an English speaking country.
The hammer is a modern day hammer with a concretion of some form of dissolved carbonate rock, limestone probably. Nothing amazing, your water faucet gets the same kind of dissolved lime buildup on it. That's why they make "CLR Lime Away".
XiL Calm down, I only answered the last guy hahah. Steve, or "the player" is the first skin you have on your character in Minecraft :) He was named Steve by notch (Markus Persson) during a random intervue :)
500 million year old hammer? I checked that up on google and that was before creatures left the ocean. That seriously puts carbon dating into question if that is true. Also if the hammer really was that old it now makes time travel seem a candidate for a possible reason. Sadly reverse time travel has not been tested proven yet and only forward time travel is possible, I would choose to question the scientist who dated the hammer to see if it was possible that the hammer aged faster due to unknown conditions as it was encased in stone. Maybe Excalibur was a hammer and not a sword! :)
Kevin Agoncillo No,they just dated the iron of the hammer.. And the "planes" are good proportioned because,like every human,they had just looked at the birds.
Kevin Agoncillo The hammer isn't really anything special: "As J.R. Cole states: "The stone is real, and it looks impressive to someone unfamiliar with geological processes. How could a modern artifact be stuck in Ordovician rock? The answer is that the concretion itself is not Ordovician. Minerals in solution can harden around an intrusive object dropped in a crack or simply left on the ground if the source rock (in this case, reportedly Ordovician) is chemically soluble. "
***** but the hammer itself is 500 million years old and some parts of the wood was transforming into coal how long does it take for wood to become coal?
doni vlora The dating method of the hammer is highly suspect if they got an age of 500 million years, since carbon dating is utterly useless after about 20'000, since there isn't enough carbon left to date accurately. If there is still wood, it's not 500 million years old, since organic material like wood decays after much less than that. Turning into coal, or a coal-like substance will depend on the temperatures and conditions the hammer was exposed to. It could also just as easily be a scorch-mark from as little information as we have to go on.
pingpong1138 I've always thought that was a possibility. We won't really know how accurate they are for a few millennia, if not more. People in the future would have to use those methods on something they know the exact age of.
bobmcbob49 The biggest issue I have is some dating methods are based off the rate of decay when we don't know the original rates. Those also are only accurate within a few thousand years
Carbon dating and the like have been proven to be pretty shitty methods of dating. Hell, counting the rings in a tree is more accurate than carbon dating. lol
***** Well duh. That's literally like saying, "Counting one at a time is more accurate than an estimation based on redioactive decay." It's an obviously true statement.
***** counting rings is accurate for the life-time of a tree. but not longer. Carbon dating has it's strengths and can tell time in a specific period very well. When it is used outside of that or on unsuitable objects, the results are crap. It's a bit like comparing a watch to a calendar. Both are good at keeping time, just on different scales.
just because a race is more advanced does not mean they are more advanced in terms of technology, truly advanced races have advanced minds and understandings of existence.
I would say our society is primitive, sure we have some impressive technology, at least it seems like it from our perspective. We continue to follow a hierarchy that time and time again leads us down the wrong path to violence, racism, hate and division of various sorts. In order to be an advance race we need to change a great deal about the way we view ourselves, life, the environment and to take control of our lives instead of following to the tune of a master(s). This is only a small fraction of what needs to be changed, but it is a step in the right direction.
Nicholas Young exactly! i think that a big contributor to why society is so harsh is because we've been hardened at such a young age and lost a great deal of compassion! if everyone was vegetarian we would all be a lot more caring! that's what i've learned anyway! sorry for the short replies, i'm in a hurry! however, we should talk some other time! :)
Goat Man I decided to go vegan a few months ago. My sense of taste has changed a great deal and I am eating a much healthier diet. My only complaint is that finding certain requirements my body needs are fairly vague. The pharmaceutical companies mixed with various other people in power have made it difficult to know what is needed and what is just a means for them to gain money and control. If troubles arise I will deal with them accordingly, until then I am enjoying the 20 pounds I have lost and the knowledge that I am not supporting exploitation of animals. I can very easily picture humanity being utilized as an emotional vibrational food source for another species and I do not approve of said system. With out sounding too off my rocker, I use to see various energy beings as a child. I understand that we can only sense about 0.005% of our environment through our sight. It is incredibly arrogant to believe that we are near the top of the food change. We as a society are taught that spirits, ghosts, astral beings, aliens, out of phased dimensional beings aren't real. However many people including myself have seen them when we were younger. The human eye can see a wider part of the magnetic spectrum when you are younger. As you get older most people lose the ability to see said creatures. In short, I will not take advantage of animals if I can help it. I get the distinct feeling humans are being used in more ways then one and many are not for our benefit. Most people are not critical thinkers, they just accept what they have been told, like children that look up to their parents.Humanity is little more then children and teenagers at this point. It is, an unusual existence we live in.
Nicholas Young Ofcourse Nicholas. Let us just blindly believe that children with over-reactive imaginations can see ghosts and stuff like that. Oh I know, let us pretend their imaginary friends are also real. The fact is, you didn't see 'energy beings' as a child. You just had a very active imagination. The same I had as a child when I supposedly saw 'ghosts'.
A dude from the future and his girlfriend traveled to the 1800s. The dude stole the hammer, went further back in time and dropped it on the ground. He then laughed and giggled while saying "This is going to mess with their heads". His girlfriend rolled her eyes and told him he is so immature. He responded with "You don't know funny babe". They both returned to the future afterwards, hoping to get back home before the dude's dad found the car missing.
What blows my mind with some of these finds like the 'Planes" they act like ancient humans had no concept of art or imaginations, Our ancestors were not dumb they understood the world probably deeper then we do. I am sure they observed birds fly and bugs for that matter. Why would they not be capable of doing all these amazing things?
+wavygr All I'll say is I believe religion is a belief/goal in which brings people together. it's been known through out history that groups of any kind clash together whether it be countries or clans. It's human nature and nature in general to fight for land, recourse, and, hell, even a belief. if religion wasn't the root of the cause (like the crusades), it would've been something else.
+wavygr it brought order in a time where there was none, in other words, one of the first technical laws and gov. but it's obvious your opinion has already been made. I only wanted to state my side of the coin
+Alanna R. A million years from now future humans will discover the Target Orbs all over the globe and be running scientific experiments and excavating Target parking lots.
The hammer has been exposed to water and minerals were precipitated out. It's a very common process called "concretion". Seriously, do you even science?
JohannesLazor There's actually a whole series of items similar to this - screws, car plugs, things like that - that people have found encased in stone or in other impossible locations. They're nicknamed Ooparts, for Out of Place Artifacts. It's not just the hammer - googling the term comes up with image after image of seemingly impossible finds.
JohannesLazor could be time travelers for all we know even our ancestors may have had access to time travel perhaps they figured they would go back and use their iron hammers to mine and were killed or dropped their hammer while running from a dinosaur or maybe even modern day people could have had an iron hammer it probably was thicker and may have looked like a modern day sledge hammer before it decayed a lot and got a layer of rock to encase it preserving the rest of it.
Ok, I hate to be the one to breaks this you (if someone else did deep in the comment well I apologize) but the (widely-used) vernacular phrase 'laying pipe' does not refer to poop. So, at time index 1:08, when you blush a bit about making a corny (
This video is very spurious. Rather than take it on face value, I actually looked these objects up, and you've left out lot of information that makes these objects a lot less mysterious. For example the hammer was consistent with tools manufactured in that area of Texas in the 1800s. Geologists (you know the ones who studied science at University and are not just people who claim things without any real knowledge of the science they are discussing), found the concentration around the hammer was not Ordovician, but minerals found to be chemically soluble, meaning that it is likely the hammer was left on the floor in the 1800s and then minerals in solution hardened around it trapping it against much older rock. Never watch a CZcams video or read something on Twitter or Facebook without looking in to it. Google is just a click away and although it's disappointing; these things often have explanations. Not to say that there aren't real mysteries, but these objects are not amongst them.
It wasn't trapped "against it". It was inside it. A man broke it with a hammer and found the artifact. If it was in fact a tool created millions of years ago, how do you know that it wasn't left somewhere to harden in rock all that time ago ;)
But it wasn't created millions for years ago, as humans weren't around then, that's back by scientific evidence unlike this hammer. Being trapped against the rock doesn't mean it wasn't covered under the ground.
+Sabatons I can turn a human body into plastic through a mix of chemicals that might fall out of the sky near a factory. There was a man who after he died was poorly handled and buried in crappy tomb, he looked like he was still alive when they later opened up his tomb because most of his skin had been replaced with limestone. Nobody was around who can explain the exact process, but plenty of examples of the process happening quickly purely because of where those things were.
+Rick Grimes What do you think he missed? He basically gives the same information as the wikipedia article. Miners found many such out of place artifacts when they were mining for gold in California in the 1800s. The Smithsonian museum collected them all and they've never been seen since. But if you go back into newspaper archives you can still find stories of the finds.
+dlwatib Yup. And coal miners in the Appalachian mountains have been finding man-made artifacts like metal bells and tools inside coal deposits for the last hundred years.
The London hammer is easy. It's a concretion. Sometimes called flowstone. Lay any object in the path of soluble rock and there is a chance the rock will dissolve, reharden and encase the object. Many fossils are created this way, preserving them for many years. Baigong pipes are from a similar phenomenon, excepting instead of concretion around a hammer, it's around tree roots. The spheres? Hard to say for sure, but guess they quarried the stones round for easy transportation. Then they could square them off after arriving to the building needing stone.
AGF fans "almost to coal" is not a scientific description. I can't comment on what process is involved without knowing what process is involved. But be sure. It isn't "supernatural" ancient aliens woo.
Red Baron Farm Who said it was alien ? ... it's just a hammer ... but it could indicate a long gone civilization we have no knowledge about, reaching much further back than we could possible imagine ... on the other hand ... is it likely that ancient Mesopotamia is the very cradle of human civilization ? ... not very likely, because it's not really that ancient, when you think of it : www.thesouthafrican.com/200-000-year-old-city-found-in-southern-africa-set-to-re-write-history/ www.nytimes.com/2013/12/05/science/at-400000-years-oldest-human-dna-yet-found-raises-new-mysteries.html
fieryelf I saw the same thing. I just enjoy the irony in some videos of the proposition of 500 million years old, then they just move on and demonstrate no critical thinking.
The Quimbaya airplanes were not able to fly as is. They had to add curvature to the wings, flaps and rudders, take off the structure decorations,add an engine, add a propeller, landing gear. These things were found with over 100 other depictions of animals just as strange and all have faces and some look like.they could fly but no one ever mentions this.
That hammer was very interesting. The problem with science is that it can be very dogmatic and resistant to change unless a lot of evidence comes together to create some kind of "narrative". No legitimate scientist wants to come out with a bold theory about past civilizations, and get discredited and labeled as a crazy person. Science isn't so much about exploring the truth as it is about being very careful about what you say with the evidence that's available to you. Anyway, great videos! Thanks for posting these.
dannyboy12357 It's supposed to be, I think he is just pointing out the politics, and such of science. It can be tough to put forth new ideas in certain fields it would seem.
jarkoer ya know, scientists have agreed that carbon dating is entirely accurate, maybe until we find a new method for dating artifacts, we'll learn more about these stuff
NizzyZam Uhm no they didn't. We also have hundreds of methods. You also wouldn't carbon date something 500 million years old, any carbon that was in it would be already decayed to carbon-12 from carbon-14. After around 50,000 years carbon dating is useless. Which is why we use several other radiometric(decay dating) methods instead. In the end we use a combination and get the best answer. Something says something is 500 million years old? Well the wood wouldn't be just turning into coal, it'd be coal entirely so that means the hammer can't be 500 million years old. Check carbon dating, oh no carbon left? Over 50 thousand years, carbon left? Under 50,000 years. Let's detect other isotopes for radiometric dating. We find a few, cross reference and get a date of 4,000 years old. Oh but how did it get in this layer of rock? Well let's look for a logical explanation. Some layers are soluble, and prone to movement. Does this layer meet that criteria? Yes? Well then the hammer was sunken down, probably through a crack/fell into a pit etc. There, explained. Also no one dated the hammer to be 500 million years old, they dated the material it was found it. Also the original dating by archaeologists, not using radiometric dating was done in the 1930's and 1940s. Why do people assume things have no explanations or can't be explained?
I've not drawn since the early nineties,got ill and became handicapped and ceased drawing and oil painted sporadically. I became able to resume studying and it would benefit my painting endeavours.I find you a marvellous teacher ,with your patience and vast skills you are very easy to relate to and I find it very helpful and with your inimitable style in no time I will be rendering better than I used to do many years ago. Thank you very very much
The thing I don't understand: these guys find a giant stone orb, realize it's man-made and automatically assume there MUST be gold in it. What if there's something icky in there?
The stone spheres are inspired by a legend of a great God who defeated others using a blow gun. They are the blow gun pellets of the legend. The stone spheres are not perfectly round and they are not that difficult to make with no knowledge of math. Take a flat square of wood. Inscribe a quarter circle from one corner. Cut on the mark lines. Use that as the guide. If it doesn't fit, bash it away. That's how craftsmen in the area make these spheres for tourists today. As for moving them, stone spheres roll very nicely. The airplanes are cat fish sculptures. Look at them closely. Remember, a fish flies through the water. I don't know what those Roman objects are but the manufacture of them is no mystery. They look like a lost wax casting, something very much within the Roman's known technology. The London hammer is a geologist's hammer that got encased in lime stone build up, like the scale on your faucet. Yes the rock dates back hundreds of millions of years but the rock was dissolved in water .
you are a troll. spheres roll, fish fly? your saying shit that everyone knows. things that are obvious. they don't address any of the issues or mysteries that people are trying to solve. fish sculptures dont explain why the airplanes flew perfectly when built in large scales.
2Mil4Mankind , Fish sculptures flew well because they are sculptures of creatures that have to be very aerodynamic to fly through the water and that have very large fins to keep them stable and to give them lift in the water. Actually, a fish is shaped more like an airplane than a bird is when you think about it.
I think those stone balls were once used as ammunition. Seeing as our ancestors were firing things like this from wooden structures it's likely that civilization could have made something similar. Plus, them being in triangular positions could just be they're lined up ready to be shot by their long since gone slings/catapults.
+Luca Even with modern technology it would be hard to make something that could fire these rocks. Far easier explanation is that they are just statues that could be covered with paintings, or were a part of some sort of ceremonial challenges or even sports/games. Like team tug of war but with giant balls. Or they could be the representation of heavenly bodies.
+pandemoniummisfits For the most part, geology is not science, it is heavy on circular reasoning. What most people don't know and fewer still want to believe, is that wood can be petrified in three years or less. The London Hammer probably is from the 1800's. Today, you cannot rely on everything 'science' says/claims.
Most was found in searches years ago. Basically, wood is buried in wet clay for a period of time. I've heard of firewood falling into a natural clay bank, and a few years later it is dug out and has become stone. Some guy custom cuts wood into whetstones, then turns them to stone this way. It's nothing new.
I don't disagree that the London Hammer is not as old as the stone around it, that much is a certainty, but saying that it is from the 1800's is actually not a fact either. It's an educated guess. Is it likely true? Maybe, but facts aren't likely true they are absolutely true.
***** It resemble the design, it is not exact as there were may different designs of mining hammers and many of those designs are based on previous ones. I'm not saying that the dating is wrong I am saying it is not a verified fact.
As a Greek I tend to agree with my ancestor that the objects with the holes were used for star observation that could help for everyday use such as navigation estimating the seasons and time during night time, if they try to use it observing the stars, I'm sure that they will find something... What puzzles me the most is the hammer....
Tuned pipes for more effecient transfering of water. Kind of like full length organ pipes, then 1/2 wavelength, 1/4 and so on. Devolution except for our ability to consolidate knowledge says in truth people then were smarter then. We can't even do that with optical cables now, to maximize power.
You talk about a mysterius alien population that arrived on our planet (so they would have a VERY advanced tecnologies) and did things... Then they went away and left to us... An hammer. Nope, i don't buy it (sorry for bad english)
koy I hate this channel because it misleads gullible people. Stone has formed around the hammer because its limestone that is chemically soluble. In UK they sell all sort of stuff that's inside similar stone. The hammer itself is about ~100 yr old.
Imagine what will happen if our civilization disappears and the people of the future find modern art while digging. How will they even explain these structures? OMG
So they did a C14 analysis on the hammer. Seems to me (and I admit i'm lacking in knowledge) that all that would tell you is the age of the iron ore used to make the steel. Correct me if I'm wrong....Carbon 14 decays at a constant rate, but cannot "reset" itself once its been reworked - say by melting the iron ore to make steel. So the Carbon 14 data should only tell you how old the carbon atoms inside the hammer are. The atoms could be millions of years old while the hammer might only be thousands of years old. I know and admit there is a flaw in my logic, so can anybody here enlighten me? My helmet is on so feel free to "hit me with some knowledge". Alternately, i guess I could just "Google" it. I'll do that but i"m leaving the comment just in case i'm not the only one confused by this Carbon 14 stuff.
+Davi69 Ok, apparently during the process of forging the hammer, new carbon isotopes are created including Carbon14, which decays at a constant rate. Finding these isotopes and measuring their state of decay gives an approximate age of the isotope and by extension the hammer. See? I learnt sumthn
I get what you are saying, but my questions are: 1:If the hammer is only thousands of years old as you suggest then how did the hammer get encased in a 400 million year old rock? 2: The wooden handle was starting to turn into coal. Doesn't it take a few million years for coal to form from wood? Like you my logic maybe, and probably is, flawed. But if the hammer is only a few thousand years old, then our dating system is completely wrong. On the other hand, if it is in fact, millions of years old then we understand very little about the history of our planet. Just my 2 cents.
Here's a theory; maybe they shaped the stones they mined into orbs so that they could easily be transported. The ones we see are remnants of building materials. What do you think?
Mike Chen, you are awesome. We are old souls... wise, not caught up on the material bs of the generation, instead more interested in timeless patterns and knowledge of history! You totally speak my language : )
kuria hito Its just a regular hammer from the 1800's that got trapped in a limestone concretion. The limestone around it dissolved and re-solidified so that the hammer is stuck in it.
Java Flask the purpose of the title 'mysterious artifacts no one can explain' your not going to understand it but there is proof its older then you think
You actually kinda answered your own question in this video with the stone spheres. The nearest quarries were very far away, so how would you transport stone so far? They're too heavy to carry all that way, but they wouldn't be too heavy to roll if only they were an idea shape for rolling. The stones wouldn't need to have started out perfect circles, they would have started out close and then rolling them would smoothed them down further, the larger stones being heavier would have ground down more quickly over the same distance.
the more I watch his videos I'm convinced that humans are time travelers in the future that come back to figure out the secrets but we caused the secrets
6:00 those tests for aerodynamics were bogus as hell. you can't change the shape of the artifact to make it work for what you think it does and then say you know, unequivocally, that it is in fact an air craft from ancient times.
I think that a more better explanation for the hammer in the rock is that it's from the gold rush days and the chemicals they used to extract back then over the years has took it's toll on it really a thousand years there would have been no handle at all
I know this is old news but you don’t think the stones were just pasted on? Like rock papier-mâché? I would think they would do that for art reasons and relaxation. Like giant pottery.
The Colombian Quimbaya 'planes' are not aerodynamic at all. The R/C models that were supposedly based on them were highly modified by the engineers in order to make them flight worthy. For example the swirly details on the front of the wings were removed, as leaving them in place would completely erode the aerodynamic properties, making flight impossible.
Oh and that hammer is not hundreds of millions of years old, it's simply a Victorian era hammer that through some quirk became encased in clay which hardened into what appears as rock.
You assumption of the hammer is sensible but at the same time, not a valid point. Otherwise you could say that new brick you laid on the ground there is millions of years old because it has elements of natural rock in it that's been around for millions of years but common sense would have you believe that brick is brand new and very young.
***** True words though what everyone says on CZcams isn't exactly true/right either though, so who do you expect to listen to when you want answers? Seems like the only people you can rely on is yourself
PropSpairGaming "so who do you expect to listen to when you want answers" - That depends entirely on what answers you want. Seems like the only people you can rely on is yourself " - Why would you assume that?
The concept of could there have been a civilization as advanced or even more advanced than ours to exist before us is intriguing and something I have pondered myself. If our civilization ended how long would it take for the earth to erase all evidence except for a few artifacts? A five hundred million year old hammer, really makes you think if it's not a hoax... could it be possible?
The stone spheres may have simply been how they were transporting granite from the quarry 20+miles. It would be interesting to see how they were made and moved.
And the hammer that is 500 million years old? Are you really this stupid? The dating methods are complete garbage. As for Darwin's theory, it was always bunk.
the quimbaya airplanes are actually models of fish found in the area. the round flaps on the first model shown are actually part of a small fishes fins, on an aircraft they completely disrupt the air creating lack of a vacuum above a wing. fish, small strange ones. in the model built to show how they could fly, the round flaps were removed so it could fly.
I think the last one is a grinder , at 06:26 you can see the "hammer" has a silver part in it, from what I know the silver part is actually shaped like a wheel and the wood part is the spinner, so you put the ingredients inside and then spin it with your arm untill it become soft, so it's just like a blender if you think about it.
It would be cool if the earth was so much older than we thought, and that humanity had repeatedly failed to exist several times over. War, pollution, etc.
I remember reading a comic of duck tales when uncle scrooge wanted to know the secret of a mysterious plate with bizarre drawings which he thought a map for a treasure. Finally, it was just a monarchy tool for laundry scheduling :)
#4 they had they had to make many massive changes to the aerodynamic surfaces, only keepng the aesthetic features of the designs to get them airborne. In other words completely redesigned the object from the ground up so that it looked similar but would still fly.
Just because the hammer is really old, doesn't mean that it was made back then. People could have used the material, which was indeed as old as the hammer, to make the hammer. Also i think that the 12-sided cube could have been a type of currency.
Turns out that the ones in Costa Rica are fashioned from a type of concrete made with volcanic rock. How they got them so round is still a mystery, but if you can make concrete, I think you can figure out a way to make something round.
5. pipes are volcanic slow cooling (think giants causeway) magma. 4. Made of light volcanic rock carried on glacial flow, you can also see they are NOT round and they are pours. 3. Dice they used an imperial system, each side has a different pattern 2. Animal carvings, any shape will fly with enough power tweaking. 1. 1800's hammer in a concretion of Ordovician Rename your channel Before Science or Without Science.
The Chinese investigation did not end there. The Xinmin Weekly reported in 2003 the iron rich material was examined further and found to contain organic material, and all the samples exhibited tree rings. Iron rich sediment washed down during floods had made fossil casts of the trees (similar examples of this include the 'Navajo Pipes' and 'Colorado Cylinders'. The softer inner plant material does not survive leaving pipe like constructs.
Quimbaya artifacts are acknowledged to show not just birds but fish, lizards, amphibians and insects. Among the hundreds found about a dozen look *vaguely* like modern planes. The scale models were not exact copies, they took off large curls and features that would have made them unable to fly and added curvature to the wings for lift plus flaps for control.
London Hammer, wow this shit again? Concretion like that can occur in a decade or two - no-one I've asked can provide reference for the rock dating (and I can usually find these things myself if they exist). Few real scientists are allowed to examine it as it's owned by creationist Carl Bough, but researcher John Cole and paleontologist George Kuban conclude it is a 19th century miners hammer and no part of the handle has started to turn into coal, this is a later addition to the myth. Nothing to see here....
Thank you for your common sense answer God knows what all the other morons have going on in there heads. I knew without research that the "pipes" would be a natural occurrence.

Nathan Hood englasia123 I'm so happy I've found you both I actually think the world is going crazy and people can't see that there's a logical answer and for some reason look to a crazy irrational answer.
I also have a problem with these so called scientists saying that ancient people "could not" have done certain things cause they were primitive to us but really they were a lot smarter than us and more hard working.
If you don't have a hammer does that mean you can't drive in a nail? Nope it means you sue other ways to do the best you can.
Diesineveryfilm Customs Hey dude - welcome. A lot of it is what the philosopher Daniel Dennett put's down to 'agency' and if you haven't seen his work I recommend you look this up. People are often totally irrational (it's not their fault) and those like yourself that are trying not to be are a minority

I love how the worker's first thought was to blow up the stone spheres.. "Oh, here is this beautifully carved piece of stone which most likely carries history on it, let's blow it up!" because why not
Not "because why not" because they thought they might contain expensive rock\treasures
White ppl
Weekly Chan well it was in costa rica so partially white ppl
Well, I know they thought the rock might contain valuable material, Mike mentioned that, but there are better ways to collect those resources, rather than to just blow something up, which is why I find it humorous XD
Sillykat :D There might be gold and jewels in side these rocks, how do we get it?
Jeff: "We can drill a hole into it!"
Me: "Awesome idea, this is why you are in cha-"
Jeff: "AND PUT DINERMITE IN IT TO BLOW IT UP!"
Me: *faceplam* "Jeff!...You are no longer in charge, GTFO!"
Those stone spheres have also been found in front of Target Stores as well. They are so perfectly round that there's no way Target Employees could have made them. The dodecahedron balls have been figured out. I saw a program where a woman threaded a piece of yarn into the middle and then wove a glove out of it. Each side and hole are different sizes so when you weave each finger it creates a different length. In the end they pull all the fingers out of the holes and out of the center of the ball and you have a perfect GLOVE with a thumb and four fingers all like you would expect. It is an ingenious device.
+BellinghamsterTrail But why would you treasure a tool used for making gloves of all things?
We are presuming they treasured it. It is something of value and it was unique. After all, You don't want your slaves taking it home with them after work.
You keep your nice silver safe and sound... But you don't likely treasure it. It just has value.
+DamnedUsernameThing Because it was a high-prestige item that upper class ladies probably kept in their sewing kit. It was apparently quite rare because only a couple hundred have been found.
Someday people are going to look back on our civilization and wonder why we treasured Apple iPhones too.

500 million year old hammer?
I checked that up on google and that was before creatures left the ocean. That seriously puts carbon dating into question if that is true. Also if the hammer really was that old it now makes time travel seem a candidate for a possible reason.
Sadly reverse time travel has not been tested proven yet and only forward time travel is possible, I would choose to question the scientist who dated the hammer to see if it was possible that the hammer aged faster due to unknown conditions as it was encased in stone.
Maybe Excalibur was a hammer and not a sword! :)
Kevin Agoncillo No,they just dated the iron of the hammer..
And the "planes" are good proportioned because,like every human,they had just looked at the birds.
Kevin Agoncillo The hammer isn't really anything special: "As J.R. Cole states: "The stone is real, and it looks impressive to someone unfamiliar with geological processes. How could a modern artifact be stuck in Ordovician rock? The answer is that the concretion itself is not Ordovician. Minerals in solution can harden around an intrusive object dropped in a crack or simply left on the ground if the source rock (in this case, reportedly Ordovician) is chemically soluble. "
***** but the hammer itself is 500 million years old and some parts of the wood was transforming into coal how long does it take for wood to become coal?
doni vlora
The dating method of the hammer is highly suspect if they got an age of 500 million years, since carbon dating is utterly useless after about 20'000, since there isn't enough carbon left to date accurately.
If there is still wood, it's not 500 million years old, since organic material like wood decays after much less than that.
Turning into coal, or a coal-like substance will depend on the temperatures and conditions the hammer was exposed to. It could also just as easily be a scorch-mark from as little information as we have to go on.
***** en.wikipedia.org/?title=Coal
Or maybe our dating systems are off :P
pingpong1138 I've always thought that was a possibility.
We won't really know how accurate they are for a few millennia, if not more. People in the future would have to use those methods on something they know the exact age of.
bobmcbob49 The biggest issue I have is some dating methods are based off the rate of decay when we don't know the original rates. Those also are only accurate within a few thousand years
Carbon dating and the like have been proven to be pretty shitty methods of dating.
Hell, counting the rings in a tree is more accurate than carbon dating. lol
***** Well duh. That's literally like saying, "Counting one at a time is more accurate than an estimation based on redioactive decay." It's an obviously true statement.
***** counting rings is accurate for the life-time of a tree. but not longer. Carbon dating has it's strengths and can tell time in a specific period very well. When it is used outside of that or on unsuitable objects, the results are crap.
It's a bit like comparing a watch to a calendar. Both are good at keeping time, just on different scales.
just because a race is more advanced does not mean they are more advanced in terms of technology, truly advanced races have advanced minds and understandings of existence.
I would say our society is primitive, sure we have some impressive technology, at least it seems like it from our perspective. We continue to follow a hierarchy that time and time again leads us down the wrong path to violence, racism, hate and division of various sorts. In order to be an advance race we need to change a great deal about the way we view ourselves, life, the environment and to take control of our lives instead of following to the tune of a master(s). This is only a small fraction of what needs to be changed, but it is a step in the right direction.
Nicholas Young
exactly! i think that a big contributor to why society is so harsh is because we've been hardened at such a young age and lost a great deal of compassion! if everyone was vegetarian we would all be a lot more caring! that's what i've learned anyway! sorry for the short replies, i'm in a hurry! however, we should talk some other time! :)
Goat Man I decided to go vegan a few months ago. My sense of taste has changed a great deal and I am eating a much healthier diet. My only complaint is that finding certain requirements my body needs are fairly vague. The pharmaceutical companies mixed with various other people in power have made it difficult to know what is needed and what is just a means for them to gain money and control. If troubles arise I will deal with them accordingly, until then I am enjoying the 20 pounds I have lost and the knowledge that I am not supporting exploitation of animals.
I can very easily picture humanity being utilized as an emotional vibrational food source for another species and I do not approve of said system. With out sounding too off my rocker, I use to see various energy beings as a child. I understand that we can only sense about 0.005% of our environment through our sight. It is incredibly arrogant to believe that we are near the top of the food change. We as a society are taught that spirits, ghosts, astral beings, aliens, out of phased dimensional beings aren't real. However many people including myself have seen them when we were younger. The human eye can see a wider part of the magnetic spectrum when you are younger. As you get older most people lose the ability to see said creatures.
In short, I will not take advantage of animals if I can help it. I get the distinct feeling humans are being used in more ways then one and many are not for our benefit.
Most people are not critical thinkers, they just accept what they have been told, like children that look up to their parents.Humanity is little more then children and teenagers at this point. It is, an unusual existence we live in.
Nicholas Young Ofcourse Nicholas. Let us just blindly believe that children with over-reactive imaginations can see ghosts and stuff like that. Oh I know, let us pretend their imaginary friends are also real.
The fact is, you didn't see 'energy beings' as a child. You just had a very active imagination. The same I had as a child when I supposedly saw 'ghosts'.
Firecage Believe what you want Firecage. I'm not going to argue with you.
A dude from the future and his girlfriend traveled to the 1800s. The dude stole the hammer, went further back in time and dropped it on the ground. He then laughed and giggled while saying "This is going to mess with their heads". His girlfriend rolled her eyes and told him he is so immature. He responded with "You don't know funny babe". They both returned to the future afterwards, hoping to get back home before the dude's dad found the car missing.
lol that story seems even more plausible than a 500 million year old hammer..
+SeenGod if he dropped it 500 million years in the past it would still be 500 million years old
What blows my mind with some of these finds like the 'Planes" they act like ancient humans had no concept of art or imaginations, Our ancestors were not dumb they understood the world probably deeper then we do. I am sure they observed birds fly and bugs for that matter. Why would they not be capable of doing all these amazing things?

JohannesLazor or you know.. there were humans back then too
Zrex Blue I thought of time travel. (:
JohannesLazor There's actually a whole series of items similar to this - screws, car plugs, things like that - that people have found encased in stone or in other impossible locations. They're nicknamed Ooparts, for Out of Place Artifacts. It's not just the hammer - googling the term comes up with image after image of seemingly impossible finds.
JohannesLazor could be time travelers for all we know even our ancestors may have had access to time travel perhaps they figured they would go back and use their iron hammers to mine and were killed or dropped their hammer while running from a dinosaur or maybe even modern day people could have had an iron hammer it probably was thicker and may have looked like a modern day sledge hammer before it decayed a lot and got a layer of rock to encase it preserving the rest of it.
JohannesLazor No, they were human.... But yes they did.
Ok, I hate to be the one to breaks this you (if someone else did deep in the comment well I apologize) but the (widely-used) vernacular phrase 'laying pipe' does not refer to poop. So, at time index 1:08, when you blush a bit about making a corny (

This is so interesting! And I love your videos! Keep it up! 👍

Interesting video as always, keep them going!!!!! Btw cuz of you i show off at school with the info i get from ur vids. But they are awesome!!!!!
i didnt talk about illuminati...but whatever
Mohammed El-Seidy Thanks so much!!
This video is very spurious. Rather than take it on face value, I actually looked these objects up, and you've left out lot of information that makes these objects a lot less mysterious.
For example the hammer was consistent with tools manufactured in that area of Texas in the 1800s. Geologists (you know the ones who studied science at University and are not just people who claim things without any real knowledge of the science they are discussing), found the concentration around the hammer was not Ordovician, but minerals found to be chemically soluble, meaning that it is likely the hammer was left on the floor in the 1800s and then minerals in solution hardened around it trapping it against much older rock.
Never watch a CZcams video or read something on Twitter or Facebook without looking in to it. Google is just a click away and although it's disappointing; these things often have explanations. Not to say that there aren't real mysteries, but these objects are not amongst them.
It wasn't trapped "against it". It was inside it. A man broke it with a hammer and found the artifact. If it was in fact a tool created millions of years ago, how do you know that it wasn't left somewhere to harden in rock all that time ago ;)
But it wasn't created millions for years ago, as humans weren't around then, that's back by scientific evidence unlike this hammer. Being trapped against the rock doesn't mean it wasn't covered under the ground.
+Mikey Dunne While I do agree, I will say that the absence of evidence is not evidence of absence.
+Sabatons I can turn a human body into plastic through a mix of chemicals that might fall out of the sky near a factory. There was a man who after he died was poorly handled and buried in crappy tomb, he looked like he was still alive when they later opened up his tomb because most of his skin had been replaced with limestone.
Nobody was around who can explain the exact process, but plenty of examples of the process happening quickly purely because of where those things were.

I don't deny skimming, my mistake.
Holy crap, you did not research the London hammer very well.
+Rick Grimes What do you think he missed? He basically gives the same information as the wikipedia article.
Miners found many such out of place artifacts when they were mining for gold in California in the 1800s. The Smithsonian museum collected them all and they've never been seen since. But if you go back into newspaper archives you can still find stories of the finds.

At 3:44 "How where the stone spheres moved from the quarry?" Educated guess would be that they rolled them.
The London hammer is easy. It's a concretion. Sometimes called flowstone. Lay any object in the path of soluble rock and there is a chance the rock will dissolve, reharden and encase the object. Many fossils are created this way, preserving them for many years. Baigong pipes are from a similar phenomenon, excepting instead of concretion around a hammer, it's around tree roots.
The spheres? Hard to say for sure, but guess they quarried the stones round for easy transportation. Then they could square them off after arriving to the building needing stone.
+Red Baron Farm
You seem to forget that the wood in the London Hammer had almost turned into cole ... so how did that happen ?

500 million year old hammer... It can't be possible that the dating system is inaccurate right? That would be insanity.
fieryelf I saw the same thing. I just enjoy the irony in some videos of the proposition of 500 million years old, then they just move on and demonstrate no critical thinking.
The Quimbaya airplanes were not able to fly as is. They had to add curvature to the wings, flaps and rudders, take off the structure decorations,add an engine, add a propeller, landing gear. These things were found with over 100 other depictions of animals just as strange and all have faces and some look like.they could fly but no one ever mentions this.
+Jeff Clark I've always wondered why conspiracy people cannot see the near 100% match of these so called airplanes and "Flying Fish".
That hammer was very interesting. The problem with science is that it can be very dogmatic and resistant to change unless a lot of evidence comes together to create some kind of "narrative". No legitimate scientist wants to come out with a bold theory about past civilizations, and get discredited and labeled as a crazy person. Science isn't so much about exploring the truth as it is about being very careful about what you say with the evidence that's available to you. Anyway, great videos! Thanks for posting these.
jarkoer I think its just looked at as a cool possibility, with not really many ways to prove.
jarkoer science is evidence.
dannyboy12357 It's supposed to be, I think he is just pointing out the politics, and such of science. It can be tough to put forth new ideas in certain fields it would seem.
jarkoer ya know, scientists have agreed that carbon dating is entirely accurate, maybe until we find a new method for dating artifacts, we'll learn more about these stuff
NizzyZam Uhm no they didn't. We also have hundreds of methods.
You also wouldn't carbon date something 500 million years old, any carbon that was in it would be already decayed to carbon-12 from carbon-14. After around 50,000 years carbon dating is useless.
Which is why we use several other radiometric(decay dating) methods instead.
In the end we use a combination and get the best answer. Something says something is 500 million years old? Well the wood wouldn't be just turning into coal, it'd be coal entirely so that means the hammer can't be 500 million years old. Check carbon dating, oh no carbon left? Over 50 thousand years, carbon left? Under 50,000 years. Let's detect other isotopes for radiometric dating. We find a few, cross reference and get a date of 4,000 years old. Oh but how did it get in this layer of rock? Well let's look for a logical explanation. Some layers are soluble, and prone to movement. Does this layer meet that criteria? Yes? Well then the hammer was sunken down, probably through a crack/fell into a pit etc.
There, explained. Also no one dated the hammer to be 500 million years old, they dated the material it was found it.
Also the original dating by archaeologists, not using radiometric dating was done in the 1930's and 1940s. Why do people assume things have no explanations or can't be explained?

lol
Yeah, this is actually true!
No, it's John Cena
That was my thought, as well.
The stone spheres are inspired by a legend of a great God who defeated others using a blow gun. They are the blow gun pellets of the legend. The stone spheres are not perfectly round and they are not that difficult to make with no knowledge of math. Take a flat square of wood. Inscribe a quarter circle from one corner. Cut on the mark lines. Use that as the guide. If it doesn't fit, bash it away. That's how craftsmen in the area make these spheres for tourists today. As for moving them, stone spheres roll very nicely.
The airplanes are cat fish sculptures. Look at them closely. Remember, a fish flies through the water.
I don't know what those Roman objects are but the manufacture of them is no mystery. They look like a lost wax casting, something very much within the Roman's known technology.
The London hammer is a geologist's hammer that got encased in lime stone build up, like the scale on your faucet. Yes the rock dates back hundreds of millions of years but the rock was dissolved in water .
you are a troll. spheres roll, fish fly? your saying shit that everyone knows. things that are obvious. they don't address any of the issues or mysteries that people are trying to solve. fish sculptures dont explain why the airplanes flew perfectly when built in large scales.
2Mil4Mankind ,
Fish sculptures flew well because they are sculptures of creatures that have to be very aerodynamic to fly through the water and that have very large fins to keep them stable and to give them lift in the water. Actually, a fish is shaped more like an airplane than a bird is when you think about it.
Damn you know a tool is old when its wooden handle has begun to turn into coal lol
I think those stone balls were once used as ammunition. Seeing as our ancestors were firing things like this from wooden structures it's likely that civilization could have made something similar. Plus, them being in triangular positions could just be they're lined up ready to be shot by their long since gone slings/catapults.

Luca I think they are dragon balls
+Luca Even with modern technology it would be hard to make something that could fire these rocks. Far easier explanation is that they are just statues that could be covered with paintings, or were a part of some sort of ceremonial challenges or even sports/games. Like team tug of war but with giant balls. Or they could be the representation of heavenly bodies.

The London Hammer is from the 1800's. You claim all this stuff as facts, but many are not.
+pandemoniummisfits
For the most part, geology is not science, it is heavy on circular reasoning. What most people don't know and fewer still want to believe, is that wood can be petrified in three years or less. The London Hammer probably is from the 1800's. Today, you cannot rely on everything 'science' says/claims.
Most was found in searches years ago. Basically, wood is buried in wet clay for a period of time. I've heard of firewood falling into a natural clay bank, and a few years later it is dug out and has become stone. Some guy custom cuts wood into whetstones, then turns them to stone this way. It's nothing new.
I don't disagree that the London Hammer is not as old as the stone around it, that much is a certainty, but saying that it is from the 1800's is actually not a fact either. It's an educated guess. Is it likely true? Maybe, but facts aren't likely true they are absolutely true.
Ruinous Power
It's of 1800s American design. It can only be as old as its design.
***** It resemble the design, it is not exact as there were may different designs of mining hammers and many of those designs are based on previous ones. I'm not saying that the dating is wrong I am saying it is not a verified fact.
As a Greek I tend to agree with my ancestor that the objects with the holes were used for star observation that could help for everyday use such as navigation estimating the seasons and time during night time, if they try to use it observing the stars, I'm sure that they will find something... What puzzles me the most is the hammer....
Tuned pipes for more effecient transfering of water. Kind of like full length organ pipes, then 1/2 wavelength, 1/4 and so on. Devolution except for our ability to consolidate knowledge says in truth people then were smarter then. We can't even do that with optical cables now, to maximize power.

You talk about a mysterius alien population that arrived on our planet (so they would have a VERY advanced tecnologies) and did things... Then they went away and left to us... An hammer. Nope, i don't buy it (sorry for bad english)
koy I hate this channel because it misleads gullible people. Stone has formed around the hammer because its limestone that is chemically soluble. In UK they sell all sort of stuff that's inside similar stone. The hammer itself is about ~100 yr old.
Sinrr1 likely
Imagine what will happen if our civilization disappears and the people of the future find modern art while digging.
How will they even explain these structures? OMG
uhhhh... first recorded mechanically powered flight took place in 1902 by Gustave Whitehead...
Of the 7 min this video took from my life, 2 seconds of it contained actual fact
yea. how on earth could giant spherical object be moved.... try rolling

agreed

do you know what a lever is?
So they did a C14 analysis on the hammer. Seems to me (and I admit i'm lacking in knowledge) that all that would tell you is the age of the iron ore used to make the steel. Correct me if I'm wrong....Carbon 14 decays at a constant rate, but cannot "reset" itself once its been reworked - say by melting the iron ore to make steel. So the Carbon 14 data should only tell you how old the carbon atoms inside the hammer are. The atoms could be millions of years old while the hammer might only be thousands of years old. I know and admit there is a flaw in my logic, so can anybody here enlighten me? My helmet is on so feel free to "hit me with some knowledge". Alternately, i guess I could just "Google" it. I'll do that but i"m leaving the comment just in case i'm not the only one confused by this Carbon 14 stuff.
Seems you've out knowledge'd everybody here
+ZergIsUnderpowered Man I hope not. I'd really like to know about this. I googled it just as I said i would and I still don't get it.
+Davi69 clearly thors hammer...and he died during a battle with molten lava giants. science.
+Davi69 Ok, apparently during the process of forging the hammer, new carbon isotopes are created including Carbon14, which decays at a constant rate. Finding these isotopes and measuring their state of decay gives an approximate age of the isotope and by extension the hammer. See? I learnt sumthn
I get what you are saying, but my questions are:
1:If the hammer is only thousands of years old as you suggest then how did the hammer get encased in a 400 million year old rock?
2: The wooden handle was starting to turn into coal. Doesn't it take a few million years for coal to form from wood?
Like you my logic maybe, and probably is, flawed. But if the hammer is only a few thousand years old, then our dating system is completely wrong. On the other hand, if it is in fact, millions of years old then we understand very little about the history of our planet. Just my 2 cents.
Here's a theory; maybe they shaped the stones they mined into orbs so that they could easily be transported. The ones we see are remnants of building materials.
What do you think?
+Volka Assuming they had the appropriate tools and know-how, it would kind of make sense.
+nvsbl2 Yes, that's kind of the point I'm making. Orbs can be easily rolled.
The hammer is really interesting

That hammer isn't a hammer. It is an ancient croquette mallet used in the stegosaurus special Olympics. More info at Loser.com
+Jacob Kamphus but how can you tell it was for the special olympics and not the regular stego olympics
+pWgonzo81 Simple. it's a short-club
art? wtf. it's art. mystery solved.
+WizDoctor ikr -.-
Mike Chen, you are awesome. We are old souls... wise, not caught up on the material bs of the generation, instead more interested in timeless patterns and knowledge of history! You totally speak my language : )
Time travel with the hammer one
kuria hito Its just a regular hammer from the 1800's that got trapped in a limestone concretion. The limestone around it dissolved and re-solidified so that the hammer is stuck in it.
Robin Parmentier ....He said that the hammer is 500 million years old and the limestone around it is 400 million years old.
Java Flask how would you know?
Java Flask the purpose of the title 'mysterious artifacts no one can explain' your not going to understand it but there is proof its older then you think

You actually kinda answered your own question in this video with the stone spheres. The nearest quarries were very far away, so how would you transport stone so far? They're too heavy to carry all that way, but they wouldn't be too heavy to roll if only they were an idea shape for rolling. The stones wouldn't need to have started out perfect circles, they would have started out close and then rolling them would smoothed them down further, the larger stones being heavier would have ground down more quickly over the same distance.
The Chinese pipes were very interesting, but that hammer in a rock just blew my mind!
Foot prints in rock, hammer in rock, bell and chain in coal, ancient maps. There is so much we don't know.
the more I watch his videos I'm convinced that humans are time travelers in the future that come back to figure out the secrets but we caused the secrets
I've learned more here then from school....
SippinonMickeys public school is utter brainwashing trash.
6:00 those tests for aerodynamics were bogus as hell. you can't change the shape of the artifact to make it work for what you think it does and then say you know, unequivocally, that it is in fact an air craft from ancient times.
I'm glad someone talks about this kind of stuff
I think that a more better explanation for the hammer in the rock is that it's from the gold rush days and the chemicals they used to extract back then over the years has took it's toll on it really a thousand years there would have been no handle at all

"Ancient Ikea"
I love this guy
I know this is old news but you don’t think the stones were just pasted on? Like rock papier-mâché? I would think they would do that for art reasons and relaxation. Like giant pottery.
the dodecahedrons used to have glass in them and we're used to light rooms by reflecting light through holes made through stone walls
just realized how much this channel has grown. incredible! Good work man.
It's amazing how Archaeologists seem to want to ignore stuff like this.
The Colombian Quimbaya 'planes' are not aerodynamic at all. The R/C models that were supposedly based on them were highly modified by the engineers in order to make them flight worthy. For example the swirly details on the front of the wings were removed, as leaving them in place would completely erode the aerodynamic properties, making flight impossible.
Oh and that hammer is not hundreds of millions of years old, it's simply a Victorian era hammer that through some quirk became encased in clay which hardened into what appears as rock.
You assumption of the hammer is sensible but at the same time, not a valid point. Otherwise you could say that new brick you laid on the ground there is millions of years old because it has elements of natural rock in it that's been around for millions of years but common sense would have you believe that brick is brand new and very young.
PropSpairGaming
Common sense is utterly useless in science, because it is often wrong.
***** True words though what everyone says on CZcams isn't exactly true/right either though, so who do you expect to listen to when you want answers? Seems like the only people you can rely on is yourself
PropSpairGaming
"so who do you expect to listen to when you want answers" - That depends entirely on what answers you want.
Seems like the only people you can rely on is yourself " - Why would you assume that?
All of these answers would have been in the Alexandria library... devestated
Iron pipes 130 thousand years old? That does not sound very likely to be true - but I will keep an open mind.
The concept of could there have been a civilization as advanced or even more advanced than ours to exist before us is intriguing and something I have pondered myself. If our civilization ended how long would it take for the earth to erase all evidence except for a few artifacts? A five hundred million year old hammer, really makes you think if it's not a hoax... could it be possible?
You should've seen Odin's face when brother lost his hammer again. -Loki
We invented time travel and trolled ourselves with the hammer
the guy who own the hammer is refusing to carbon date it or something along that line.
Why do I want melee weapons so much? I want swords, daggers, battle axes, and war hammers.
one of the best youtube channels. I love it
That last bit about the hammer fucks with my head...
The stone spheres may have simply been how they were transporting granite from the quarry 20+miles. It would be interesting to see how they were made and moved.
And the hammer that is 500 million years old? Are you really this stupid? The dating methods are complete garbage. As for Darwin's theory, it was always bunk.
5 Mysterious Artifacts No One Can Explain... Google can be a wonderful tool. I was able to find explanations for all 5 in less than 20 minutes
But u don't state those explainations..... like they are lame explanations.
The Number 4 items look neat. Some people say birds, but I wonder if a few weren't modeled after insects.
So that is where Lucifer left his pipes.The balls are made by lone working static security guards,which had lone worker syndrome.
the quimbaya airplanes are actually models of fish found in the area. the round flaps on the first model shown are actually part of a small fishes fins, on an aircraft they completely disrupt the air creating lack of a vacuum above a wing. fish, small strange ones. in the model built to show how they could fly, the round flaps were removed so it could fly.
I think the last one is a grinder , at 06:26 you can see the "hammer" has a silver part in it, from what I know the silver part is actually shaped like a wheel and the wood part is the spinner, so you put the ingredients inside and then spin it with your arm untill it become soft, so it's just like a blender if you think about it.
It would be cool if the earth was so much older than we thought, and that humanity had repeatedly failed to exist several times over. War, pollution, etc.
I remember reading a comic of duck tales when uncle scrooge wanted to know the secret of a mysterious plate with bizarre drawings which he thought a map for a treasure. Finally, it was just a monarchy tool for laundry scheduling :)
The stone spheres are marbles that belong to the same giant kids who built stone hedge
#4 they had they had to make many massive changes to the aerodynamic surfaces, only keepng the aesthetic features of the designs to get them airborne. In other words completely redesigned the object from the ground up so that it looked similar but would still fly.
Just found this Channel and am loving it.
Just because the hammer is really old, doesn't mean that it was made back then. People could have used the material, which was indeed as old as the hammer, to make the hammer. Also i think that the 12-sided cube could have been a type of currency.
this dude really looks like the cartoon version of jackie chan from jackie chan adventures. What he's wearing really adds to the effect. Anyone else?
he does!!!
+Artem Golubenko AYYYYYAAAAAAAAH JACKIIIEE!
Turns out that the ones in Costa Rica are fashioned from a type of concrete made with volcanic rock. How they got them so round is still a mystery, but if you can make concrete, I think you can figure out a way to make something round.
5. pipes are volcanic slow cooling (think giants causeway) magma. 4. Made of light volcanic rock carried on glacial flow, you can also see they are NOT round and they are pours. 3. Dice they used an imperial system, each side has a different pattern 2. Animal carvings, any shape will fly with enough power tweaking. 1. 1800's hammer in a concretion of Ordovician
