The divers brought up from the wreck a great many marble and and bronze statues that had apparently been the ship's cargo. Among the findings was a hunk of corroded bronze that contained some kind of mechanism composed of many gears and wheels. Writing on the case indicated that it was made in 80 B.C., and many experts at first thought it was an astrolabe, an astronomer's tool. An x-ray of the mechanism, however, revealed it to be far more complex, containing a sophisticated system of differential gears. Gearing of this complexity was not known to exist until 1575! It is still unknown who constructed this amazing instrument 2,000 years ago or how the technology was lost.]]> http://www.stumbleupon.com/url/paranormal.about.com/library/weekly/aa011402a.htm Thu, 06 Jul 2006 18:25:10 -0700 http://laodan.stumbleupon.com/review/4726372/ laodan -
The 10 Most Puzzling Ancient Artifacts I'm thinking since a very long time about the possibility of having to face one day my own discovery of archeological discoveries that could anihilate the idea that civilizations appeared as an outcome of agriculture that itself had been unleashed after the last climate change some 12,000 years ago. Here I'm now having to face some perplexing discoveries. Are these so many hoaxes or is it for real? via simon8tor in About.com """ The Bible tells us that God created Adam and Eve just a few thousand years ago, by some fundamentalist interpretations. Science informs us that this is mere fiction and that man is a few million years old, and that civilization just tens of thousands of years old. Could it be, however, that conventional science is just as mistaken as the Bible stories? There is a great deal of archeological evidence that the history of life on earth might be far different than what current geological and anthropological texts tell us.

Origin unknown, these spheres measure approximately an inch or so in diameter, and some are etched with three parallel grooves running around the equator. Two types of spheres have been found: one is composed of a solid bluish metal with flecks of white; the other is hollowed out and filled with a spongy white substance. The kicker is that the rock in which they where found is Precambrian - and dated to 2.8 billion years old! Who made them and for what purpose is unknown. The Article titled; "The 10 Most Puzzling Ancient Artifacts Over the last few hundred years, many perplexing artifacts have been unearthed that do not fit the currently accepted theories of geology and the history of man."
